Used Chevrolet Camaro SS for Sale in Phoenix

Last updated April 2026By Akash Chhabra, Owner

The Chevrolet Camaro SS is the naturally aspirated V8 variant of the sixth-generation Camaro, built from 2016 to 2023 on GM's Alpha platform. Every SS uses a 6.2L LT1 V8 producing 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque, the same engine as the base C7 Corvette Stingray. Available with a 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic, and an optional 1LE Track Package.

The 455-Horsepower Naturally Aspirated Camaro

The Camaro SS is the naturally aspirated V8 variant of the sixth-generation Camaro, sitting between the turbocharged four-cylinder LT and the supercharged ZL1. Every SS is powered by GM's 6.2L LT1 V8, the same engine used in the base C7 Corvette Stingray, which gives the Camaro SS a performance pedigree and aftermarket support that few sport coupes can match.

The SS is one of the most balanced American muscle cars ever built. The Alpha platform (shared with the Cadillac ATS and CTS-V) delivers genuine European chassis feel, while the LT1 V8 offers the direct, linear power delivery of a naturally aspirated engine. Available with a 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic, the SS is a realistic daily driver that still rewards on a track.

Arizona Elite Motors regularly stocks Camaro SS builds including 1LE Track Package cars, ZL1-swapped SSs, and supercharged builds. The LT1 accepts both factory LT4 supercharger swaps and a wide range of aftermarket kits from Whipple, Magnuson, and Procharger.

FAQ

Chevrolet Camaro SS Frequently Asked

What engine is in the Camaro SS?

The sixth-generation Camaro SS (2016 to 2023) uses a naturally aspirated 6.2L LT1 V8 producing 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque. This is the same engine as the base C7 Corvette Stingray.

Is the Camaro SS reliable?

The LT1-powered Camaro SS is considered highly reliable. The naturally aspirated V8 runs cool and has proven aftermarket support. Common service items include spark plugs, oil changes, and periodic differential fluid service.

Can the Camaro SS be supercharged?

Yes. The LT1 V8 accepts both factory LT4 supercharger swaps from the ZL1 and aftermarket supercharger kits from Whipple, Magnuson, and Procharger. Output commonly reaches 600 to 800+ horsepower with supporting modifications.

What is the 1LE Track Package?

The 1LE is a factory track-focused package that adds magnetic ride dampers, an electronic limited-slip differential, dry-sump oiling, Recaro seats, and upgraded brakes. 1LE cars command a premium at resale over base SSs.

Camaro SS vs Mustang GT — which is faster?

The Camaro SS (455 hp) and post-2018 Mustang GT (460 hp) are within a whisker of each other in a straight line. The Camaro SS typically has the edge in chassis feel and track capability thanks to the Alpha platform; the Mustang GT tends to be lighter and has a broader aftermarket.

Manual or automatic for a Camaro SS?

The 6-speed manual (Tremec TR-6060) is the enthusiast choice and preserves resale value. The 10-speed automatic (8L90 pre-2019, later 10L80) is faster at the drag strip and offers paddle shifters. Both are proven.

Does Arizona Elite Motors carry modified Camaro SSs?

Yes. Arizona Elite Motors regularly stocks 1LE, supercharged, and modified Camaro SS builds. Call (480) 866-8000 for current modified inventory.
