5 Solid Alternatives To The Discontinued Chevy Camaro

If you’ve been missing the roar of a Chevy Camaro now that it’s no longer in production, you’re not alone. The Camaro wasn’t just a car; it truly was an icon of American muscle, offering aggressive styling, thrilling rear-wheel-drive performance, and that unmistakable V8 growl. With the discontinuation of the Camaro in 2024, it got us wondering what cars will fill the void left by the Camaro?

The spirit of the Camaro lives on in other vehicles that combine power, style, and driving excitement. Whether you’re chasing raw muscle car adrenaline, modern tech, or a more practical twist on performance, there are several cars on the market that can help fill the void and keep your need for speed satisfied. Here are five standout options to consider if you miss the Camaro.

2025 Cadillac CT5-V

Power: 360 Horsepower

With the Chevrolet Camaro now out of production, the 2025 Cadillac CT5‑V emerges as a compelling alternative for enthusiasts seeking rear-drive performance with modern practicality. The CT5‑V’s twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 delivers 360 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque, while the top-tier CT5‑V Blackwing offers a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 668 horsepower, putting it firmly in muscle-car territory. Unlike the two-door Camaro, the CT5‑V is a four-door sedan, offering a full rear seat, more cargo space, and everyday usability without sacrificing driving dynamics.

Beyond its strong performance credentials, the 2025 Cadillac CT5‑V also earns solid marks for reliability, an area that can be a concern for performance-oriented vehicles. According to J.D. Power, the CT5‑V scores a respectable 79 out of 100 in reliability, reflecting generally positive owner experiences with dependability, build quality, and long-term maintenance. Coupled with Cadillac’s reputation for premium craftsmanship and attention to detail, the CT5‑V strikes a balance between thrilling performance and everyday peace of mind, making it a well-rounded choice for drivers who want both excitement and reliability in a single package.

2025 Toyota GR Supra

Power: 382 Horsepower

The 2025 Toyota GR Supra continues the legacy of the legendary Supra nameplate with a perfect blend of performance, style, and modern technology. Its turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine delivers a lively 382 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive for a classic sports-car feel. With a low, wide stance, aggressive front fascia, and sculpted body lines, it’s designed to turn heads wherever it goes.

If there’s one true takeaway from the A90 Supra’s driving experience after all these years, it’s simply one of the best driving sports cars of its time, regardless of where it gets its parts from.

Inside, the GR Supra balances driver-focused controls with modern conveniences, including a touchscreen infotainment system, digital gauge cluster, and supportive sports seats. The car’s lightweight chassis and finely tuned suspension make it incredibly responsive, whether you’re carving through backroads or pushing it on the track. While yes, this isn’t American muscle, you won’t get a booming V8 or the traditional muscle-car growl, but what you do get is nimble handling, sharp steering, and a thrilling connection to the road.

2025 Ford Mustang GT

Power: 486 Horsepower

With the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro now officially retired, the 2025 Ford Mustang GT naturally steps into the spotlight as one of the most direct American muscle-car replacements. Packing a 5.0-liter V8 engine that cranks out up to 486 horsepower and 418 pound-feet of torque, the Mustang GT delivers the raw rear-wheel-drive performance and thrilling exhaust note that Camaro fans have long cherished. Its bold, aggressive styling and muscular proportions carry the same iconic presence that made the Camaro a staple on streets and tracks alike.

Beyond performance, the Mustang GT blends modern technology and comfort with classic muscle-car excitement. Inside, drivers get a driver-focused cockpit with touchscreen infotainment, premium materials, and available driver-assist features, making it suitable for both spirited weekend drives and everyday use. The 2025 Mustang GT fills the void left by Chevrolet’s departure from the segment, offering familiar American muscle thrills for fans who still crave power, style, and that unmistakable pony-car attitude.

2023 Dodge Challenger Hellcat

Power: 717 Horsepower

The 2023 Dodge Challenger Hellcat is unapologetically raw American muscle, a car built around brute force, roaring attitude, and straight‑line dominance. Under its hood sits a supercharged 6.2‑liter HEMI V8 that cranks out over 700 horsepower and more than 650 pound-feet of torque, delivering insane acceleration and that classic, soul‑shaking muscle‑car soundtrack. Unfortunately, the Dodge Challenger also met a similar fate as the Camaro and is no longer in production.

If you love the Camaro for its power and rear‑wheel‑drive aggression, the Hellcat throws in a “go big or go home” philosophy. With its aggressive stance, widebody (on certain trims), and bold styling cues, it wears its muscle-car heritage on its sleeve. At the same time, it offers a more traditional two‑door coupe layout that embodies that old‑school muscle‑car vibe in a way many packaged Camaros never quite did.

2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

Power: 1,064 Horsepower

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 emerges as the ultimate performance statement, and a bold way for fans of the now‑cancelled Chevrolet Camaro to recalibrate expectations. At its heart lies a hand‑assembled, twin‑turbo 5.5‑liter flat‑plane‑crank V8 (the “LT7”) that cranks out an earth-shattering 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful V8 ever offered in an American production car.

Performance numbers for the Corvette ZR1 are jaw‑dropping: it rockets from 0–60 mph in as little as 2.3 seconds (with the available ZTK Performance Package) and is capable of quarter‑mile times in the nine‑second range on regular gas. With a top speed pushing 215–233 mph (depending on configuration) and an advanced aerodynamics package that can generate over 1,200 pounds of downforce, the ZR1 doesn’t just chase supercar status, it owns it.
