The Highway Loss Data Institute has released its rankings of the most stolen vehicles and the Camaro ZL1 tops the list.

The group, which is part of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, said that the ZL1 theft risk was 39 times higher than other cars, The Hill reported.

The car retails for about $75,400, CBS News reported.

“Muscle cars have often topped this list, as thieves are attracted to vehicles with high horsepower,” Matt Moore, the group’s chief insurance operations officer, said in a news release. “That also helps explain why the more expensive, more powerful ZL1 is stolen so much more often than the standard Camaro.”

In addition to the ZL1, the standard Camaro is also in the top five of the most stolen cars from the 2022 to 2024 model years, with the normal version of the car at a 13 times average.

The standard Camaro retails for between $32,495 and $50,000, depending on the options selected, CBS News reported.

Pickup trucks and other high-value or high-horsepower vehicles were high on the list.
