How quickly can a 2025 Chevy Camaro accelerate from 60 to 100 mph
Executive summary
The quickest, factory-based 2025 Camaro configurations—those carrying the ZL1-derived supercharged V8—will cover 60–100 mph in roughly 3.5–4.0 seconds when measured under optimal test conditions, a figure derived by subtracting published 0–60 and 0–100 acceleration benchmarks for Camaro ZL1/Mk‑VI variants [1] ChevroletCamaro(sixth_generation)" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">[2]. For lower‑trim Camaros (turbo four‑cylinder, naturally aspirated V8 SS/LT1) published 0–60 figures exist but public 0–100 mph runs are scarce, so a reliable 60–100 number cannot be stated from the sourced reporting [3] [4] [5].
1. The performance baseline: what published 0–60 and 0–100 figures show
Published reporting consistently places Camaro top‑end performance in a narrow band: mainstream dealer and enthusiast pages list a 0–60 mph time as low as 3.5 seconds for the quickest Camaro configurations, with midlevel SS/LT1 figures nearer 4.0 seconds and base turbo models around 5.4 seconds [6] [7] [3] [4]. Independent compilation sites and lap‑time databases that profile the ZL1 (the Camaro’s pinnacle performance model in the sixth‑generation family) report both 0–60 and 0–100 mph estimates—examples include an estimated 0–60 of 3.5–3.7 s and 0–100 mph numbers in the mid‑7‑second range for one transmission and lower for another—providing the only direct published evidence to derive a 60–100 split [1].
2. Deriving 60–100 mph: subtraction of reported splits and what it yields
When published 0–100 mph runs for the ZL1 are paired with the published 0–60 figures, the arithmetic gives a 60–100 interval roughly 3.5–4.0 seconds: for instance, a 0–60 of about 3.5 s and a 0–100 of about 7.2 s implies ≈3.7 s to go from 60 to 100 mph, while different transmission or testing permutations on the same model yield slightly different results—hence the stated 3.5–4.0 s window [1] [2]. This approach follows common practice in road‑test shorthand but depends entirely on the accuracy and comparability of the original 0–60 and 0–100 runs reported by each source [1].
3. Why reported ranges vary and why exact precision is elusive
Published dealer and enthusiast claims emphasize 0–60 because it’s a familiar benchmark; 0–100 or 60–100 are less consistently recorded, meaning reliable direct measurements for every Camaro trim are rare [8] [5]. Factors that materially change 60–100 numbers include transmission type and shift strategy, gearing, traction and tire grip, altitude/temperature, and whether the run is a single continuous acceleration or split across shifts—variables that the source reports acknowledge but do not uniformly quantify [1] [8]. Third‑party tuners (for example Hennessey) demonstrate much faster midrange acceleration with power upgrades, but modified numbers do not represent stock factory performance [9].
4. What can be asserted about a “2025 Camaro” specifically, and reporting limits
Most available sources in this docket treat the sixth‑generation Camaro family (continuing into 2023 model years and represented in testing databases) as the basis for performance figures; Chevrolet’s own public materials and many dealer pages cite 3.5 s 0–60 figures for the high‑output variants, and independent databases list corresponding 0–100 values that allow the 60–100 estimate above [2] [6] [1]. The reporting set provided does not include a manufacturer‑published 60–100 mph figure for a 2025 Camaro nor a fully comprehensive, model‑by‑model test matrix for every trim and transmission, so no definitive per‑trim 60–100 table can be assembled from these sources alone [5] [8].
5. Bottom line and reasonable expectation
For an owner or tester expecting the quickest factory Camaro behavior, anticipate roughly a mid‑3‑second to low‑4‑second burst to accelerate from 60 to 100 mph in a high‑end ZL1‑derived Camaro under controlled conditions; for SS/LT1 and turbo four models the interval will be measurably longer but cannot be precisely stated from the sourced reporting because public 0–100 results for those trims are not consistently published [1] [6] [3].
