As tested in Road and Track the Camaro SS 6.2 V8 is faster than the F-Type P380 3.0 supercharged V6 (automatics tested):

On the EPA test cycle the Camaro SS Manual V8 gets better fuel mileage than the F-Type P340 RWD Manual 3.0 S.C. V6 (340 HP) (16 city/25 hwy vs. 16 city/24 hwy).

An engine control system that can shut down half of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the Camaro V6/V8 Auto’s fuel efficiency. The F-Type doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.

To lower fuel costs and make buying fuel easier, the Chevrolet Camaro uses regular unleaded gasoline (premium recommended with the 2.0 turbo 4 cyl. engine for maximum performance). The F-Type requires premium, which can cost 20 to 55 cents more per gallon.

The Camaro has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The F-Type doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.

A 10-speed automatic is available on the Chevrolet Camaro, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only an eight-speed automatic is available for the F-Type.

To facilitate fast shifting and allow the driver to focus on the road, the Camaro offers an optional up-shift light to indicate when the engine is approaching redline. The F-Type doesn’t offer an up-shift light.

The Chevrolet Camaro manual has a downshift rev synchronizer that automatically raises engine speed to make downshifts perfectly smooth. This keeps the car from lurching during downshifts, preventing loss of control during cornering. The F-Type doesn’t offer a downshift rev synchronizer.

The Camaro stops much shorter than the F-Type:

For better traction, the Camaro ZL1 1LE Coupe’s tires are larger than the largest tires available on the F-Type (F:305/30R19 & R:325/30R19 vs. F:275/40R19 & R:275/35R19).

The Camaro SS 1LE/ZL1’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the F-Type’s optional 35 series front tires.

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires available on the Camaro can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The F-Type doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Camaro’s wheelbase is 7.5 inches longer than on the F-Type (110.7 inches vs. 103.2 inches).

The Camaro ZL1 1LE Coupe handles at 1.18 G’s, while the F-Type R-Dynamic Coupe pulls only .98 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The Camaro SS Convertible handles at .96 G’s, while the F-Type R Convertible pulls only .92 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The Camaro SS Coupe executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver 2.5 seconds quicker than the F-Type P300 Coupe (22.9 seconds @ .91 average G’s vs. 25.4 seconds @ .73 average G’s).

The Camaro has standard seating for 4 passengers; the F-Type can only carry 2.

The Camaro Coupe has 1.5 inches more front headroom and .9 inches more front legroom than the F-Type Coupe.

The Camaro’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge – which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The F-Type does not have an oil pressure gauge.

The Camaro offers an optional heads-up display that projects speed and other key instrumentation readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The F-Type doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

To shield the driver and front passenger’s vision over a larger portion of the windshield and side windows, the Camaro has standard extendable sun visors. The F-Type doesn’t offer extendable visors.

The Camaro’s sun-visors swivel front-to-side to block glare from the side windows. The F-Type’s visors are fixed into the windshield header.

With optional voice command, the Camaro offers the driver hands free control of the radio and the navigation computer by simply speaking. The F-Type doesn’t offer a voice control system.

Insurance will cost less for the Camaro owner. The Complete Car Cost Guide estimates that insurance for the Camaro will cost $4465 less than the F-Type over a five-year period.

The Camaro will cost the buyer less in the long run because of its superior resale value. The IntelliChoice estimates that the Camaro will retain 39.08% to 51.78% of its original price after five years, while the F-Type only retains 35.85% to 40.84%.

IntelliChoice estimates that five-year ownership costs (depreciation, financing, insurance, fuel, fees, repairs and maintenance) for the Chevrolet Camaro will be $31535 to $44689 less than for the Jaguar F-Type.
