The 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 (Super Sport) is a pony car manufactured by Chevrolet between September 1966 to September 1967.

The Super Sport performance pack was available with a 350 or 396 cubic inch V8 engine. It also included improvements to the chassis to accomodate the additional power produced by the V8, and to enhance the car's handling.

The hidden headlights of the Camaro were obtainable from Chevrolet through an additional charge as part of the RS package.

Need for Speed: World[]

The Camaro SS was released in Need for Speed: World on November 16, 2011 as a tier 1 vehicle. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as a D class vehicle.

It has a weak nitrous boost and responsive steering, which is among the best of the classic American cars in the game, but possesses a fairly heavy weight, which does not affect its handling. This makes the car useful in both race events and Pursuit Outrun.
