I bought a preowned 2022 SS 1LE with 3300 miles back in May and it does not disappoint. The tremec manual is awesome. The exhaust in track mode is music to my ears. Will be keeping it for a long time.
I Have a 2024 2SS 1LE in transit ,Sharkskin metallic, red seatbelts,performance data recorder ,M6 I can't wait till it arrives
What color is it?
@@JoeSmith-nu8oo Black. I have a youtube short of it on my channel.
Thats what i have as a weekend and track car. 22 2ss 1le manual satin steel. So far it has 4500 miles on it. Only drive it for 5 to 6 months a year unfortunately due to weather in midwest!
Well my last comment I had a 2024 2SS 1LE In transit and now 🙃 I have the car in my possession, I absolutely Love this car kzhead.info/sun/qJFxl9CAp4x4Zmw/bejne.htmlsi=Pmzw_ehr-Tr8CTwT
Alpha chassis cars RULED for a long time in this category against all the European and Japanese sedan class cars. The Camaro or Cadillacs are FAR more than most people realize because of their TUNING capabilities to extract its true performance on the track. GM is the absolute king of neutral handling at the limit that had road course lap times to prove it. In todays world of sports cars, its the chassis that matters. GM always gives you a further ahead starting point than anybody including BMW.
Interesting. Yeah over the last few years that I have driven different GM performance cars, I've been impressed with how well they do on intense corners
Yup, nothing for under 150K NOTHING comes close to GM, except MAYBE Porsche.
Nailed it
Camaro has always been like this. My 68 RS/SS Camaro handles far better then given credit for or people would think. And it will 60-100+ pull a 5th gen SS I know for sure.
The 10 speed is a fast transmission but I find the Camaro to be more enjoyable with the 6-speed tremec manual transmission
Absolutely. The engagement is so much more fulfilling. But sometimes its about numbers and convenience to others.
@@gvaspirated absolutely if you're trying to chase the quickest time the 10 speed is the best option... But my SS Camaro is so enjoyable with the manual the downshifts, the pops, the bangs, it's so intoxicating you know firsthand your Camaro SS is equipped with a manual transmission.
@@musclecars92This. I’m still hunting for a 14-15 5th gen Camaro SS 1LE. That 3.91 rear end and manual trans is already a great starting point!
Agreed. The Tremec is one of the best sticks ever. I have it on my '23. It makes the car so unique.
Best camaro KZheadr ever??
Man thank you so much! I try bro :) Lol.
I totally dissagree on the interior,I hate the interior on the S650 ,I was considering ordering a darkhorse but wen i finally seen the interior on the 24 mustang i then ordered a 24 2SS 1LE That should be here soon
@22:07 you should have mentioned the side mirror tilt down option (default is OFF,) Now owning one, i find the side mirrors tilt down in reverse is a blessing! You can see the ground where you are backing into. Easily changed using the 8 inch infotainment screen. Should be ON by default, IMO
I did not see you posted this! As an owner of a 2ss, I totally agree! Should be ON by default.
i got myself a 2021 2SS and tbh the rare view camera just helps so much with blind spots and same with sensors on the mirrors and in the back camera, come with led lights inside and a sunroof, i’m keeping my camaro as long as possible
As someone who tracks a 6th gen SS, if doing a track build, the only keeper in the entire 1LE package is the PTM. A traditional mechanical LSD is preferred over the computer controlled elsd. Its just more predictable. PTM however, will give you much better throttle application exiting corners unless you're a god tier driver who doesn't need it. The brakes... you can get 1LE front calipers brand new for about $800 for the pair. Rotors are consumable and will be done in a few track days. People swear by the big money AP racing kits, but the 1LE calipers work just fine with some good rotors and pads. Magride can be reprogrammed with the 1LE spec, or custom spec with stiffer springs using DSC Sport. On a non magride car, coils or DSSV from the ZLE are an option. The Recaros in the 1LE are not up to true track duty. Wheels and tires should be swapped to 18 or 19 inch. One thing that isn't talked about on the 1LE package is the stiffer bushings in all the suspensions components. On a track build, these will be replaced with ball joints anyway. Really if you're a track rat looking to build a track car, the 1LE package is a waste. Get a 1SS and go from there, or go all out and get the ZL1 1LE, but I'd rather have a C7 Z06 at that point.
Best Camaro review ever! I’ve seen almost everyone review out there! Bought a brand new ‘23 Camaro 2SS with magnetic ride control. Worth every penny and dime. Same reaction I have every time I hear the cracks and pops. How I chose the Camaro against the other ones was based on sound.
Seee I know that magnetic ride control is amazing for the terrible street roads!!
ZL1 the best camaro
@@babyballsj1216ZL1 is no doubt the greatest! Just meant for the NA sound. The LT1 does not disappointment bang for your buck.
@@Jmarzxit definitely is worth every penny brother 🤙
2SS 1LE, and you have one of the fastest track weapons on Earth (with decent creature comforts) for approximately $55,000. Still faster than the Dark Horse and BMW M4 on track. Similar performance on track to Cayman GT4. GM is canceling one of the best performance vehicles for the money ever made.
I can't wait to review a 1LE man!
2024 1SS with nothing more than slicks ran 11.86 @ 117.49. Its an honest beast. With the 10 speed and foot braking from 1500rpm.
Amazing video. SO well made and you can feel your excitement and passion. 10/10
Dude thank you so much! I had a blast filming and editing this review! Stay tuned for more bro ;)
Nice vid bro, I love your vids and build. I notice you're in the SoFlo area, got any recommendations where I should get my camaro modded (from lowering springs to cam and headers)?
Great presentation bro. Honestly. I have a 2023 2SS 1LE 6 speed MT. I love it!! No complaints so far.....
Dope review bro! Lot's of excellent points. I've had my 2023 SS 1LE since New Years Day (nearly a year now) and it's been an absolute blast to own. If you never driven an 6th Gen Camaro, I highly recommend it!
Bro thank you so much! I can’t wait to get behind the wheel and review a 1LE
Picked up a new 2023 ss 1le in august, black, 10 speed! absolutely love this car!
I want to do a video comparing the two! Congrats man!!!
This is for sure the best review of any car I’ve seen on KZhead, great quality and covers every basis keep it up bro
Man this comment made me smile immensely! Thank you so much brother. This is by far my favorite review I've done. Stay tuned for more!
TBH There is nothing I dont like about my 2016 2ss I came from a 2007 350Z and the camaro blind spot that people complain about is non existent since the Z was worse and didnt have a back up camera. Will probably make this a legacy car and pass down to my kids
Such a well made video brother, way better than most of these Auto KZheadrs out here 💪🏼
Bro thank you so much Mikey! I appreciate you be in the video too :)
Best muscle car around period.....coming From an ex mustang and challenger owner.....this is my fave by far Chevy sucks for canceling them and never marketing them the correct way.
Yeah man it's bittersweet. It hurts more that there's no clear plan for the next gen Camaro too.
Mustang in those years went from 425hp to 460hp to 500hp now so that comment are they just not comfortable with the coyote platform is probably one of the most ignorant I’ve heard in a while!
Lmfao, ngl, this is a valid comment 😂
@@gvaspirated it’s pure fact! What’s not valid about it in your obvious sloppy incompetent opinion? Instead of spitting bs tell facts!
Excellent vid, I have watched many this is arguably your best. Loved the intro with the archival footage. These are great vehicles unfortunately going away once again. The worst part of the LT1 Camaro is the GM recommended 1,500 mile break-in period, keeping the RPM's under 4,000 and the speed under 80MPH.
Cardo thank you so much for watching these videos man. I, too think that this is my best one yet and the format is here to stay.
Nice video! 🔥
Thank you so much Harry! Hahaha
As someone who had 2017 2SS 2017 bmw 340i and 2019 5.0 PP1 the Camaro is the best car I had and handling is unreal for any car I’ve driven under 100k.
Same here bro I had bmw 535 BMW 340 I and also I have driven many cars I have never driven something like a 2ss camero 2020 and up it’s unreal man it puts a smile from ear to ear
@@EuroUSA no fan boys here. I did love my bmw more for a daily driver that was fun and more GT
@@Zerohearts0 for sure bro better daily I mean I don’t wear and tear sports cars I drive them a bit race them whatever and sell them get something different
Fantastic video which I’ve watched 3 times. You made no mention of what features you lose, if any, with a convertible option. I am picking up my 23 2SS, Vert/M6 on Friday and so looking forward to it. Only thing I know it doesn’t have and wish it did is the magnetic ride control. What are your thoughts on the Vert option? Thanks and again, fantastic video!!!
incredible car review bro!
thanks man!
What an awesome Video mate - really good breakdown - the channel really is working hard and very professional - keep it up my friend,
Dude thank you so much for your support man! This channel means so much to me, and reading these comments really does keep me going!
what is your exact wickerbill and where did you get it bro? i wanna buy one very soon and i love how yours looks!
those b roll shots were really good
Dude thank you so much! You have no idea how much I enjoy using techniques like those in my videos
Hey quick question for you pov what do you use the head strap, clip on hat , or chest mount
Nice video…I’ve watched your videos before for a couple reasons. I really like what you have done to your 5th Gen and since I use to live in S. FL it’s nice to see my old stomping grounds..now I live just north in Jacksonville.. I own a 2017 50th Anniversary Edition Camaro SS. I feel your excitement.. it’s infectious.. 🏹👔
love the videos
Love my 2020 manual same color. Its how I get my adrenaline rush.
I got a 2017 ss 6 speed it’s a lot of fun
Nicely done vud. I watched from start to finish well informed and entertained as a muscle car head. This car is speced the way my dream spec is. Just as a convertible. Would it be a good droptop car? Also ive heard that the vented seats in gm cars is garbage. Is it bad in the camaro? I live in houston where its always hot and humid
This is the best camaro ss review video i’ve seen on youtube. Keep up the good work man! Also, do you think missing out on the mag ride is that big of a deal?
Mag ride really completes the handling, I'd say that MRC and the NPP exhaust are must haves
Dude thank you so much for the comment. I definitely sent it with this video! The MRC is a HUGE difference from regular. It’s significantly better and dynamic. I think the 1LE has upgraded components to compliment the MRC but dude without the 1le package it’ll drastically enhance the ride.
Sweet car, such a shame this is the end of the Camaro! Great video as always.
Yeah man bitter sweet how the Mustang just kicked off it's latest gen while we close doors with the Camaro. Glad you liked the video Carter. I wanted to do something similar for the New Edge haha.
Made me look so good on camera 👀 🔥
All you bro!
it is the best review in all KZhead!
My first car was a 95 camaro. I plan on buying one of these years. At first I was convinced in buying a 6speed but looks like you can't go wrong with this stout 10speed auto. I will hold on to it for decades an will be a survivor car.
Love to hear it bro!
Great video!! but quick question where you was in Florida driving like that with no police in sight 👀😂 that look like doral
Great review. Im torn between this and a S650. The Camaro feels so much better, but since it would be my only car, most say the Mustang makes more sense because it's more practical.
is there much diff between 2018 - 2024 camaros
owner of a Radiant Red Metallic 23 1SS car is sick !
Do a review on the 5th gen Camaro zl1
FYI paddle shifts might have a delay but the actual gear shifts are faster than pdk
I have a 2014 Camaro ss six speed manual with the ls3 engine i love it. It is so much fun to drive and wil flat out get it. Im doing some modes on it
I love my 6th gen Camaro, best car ever produced. 11/10 would recommend to everyone.
Would you recommend 6th gen SS over 2019 audi rs5 coupe TT v6
10:00 the driving mode doesn't adjust the suspension on a non-magride car. The dampers and spring rates are fixed.
Thanks so much for the clarification. I figured that it was stiff and might have been a placebo from the steering wheel.
Nice review, I like to see reviews from real fans and enthusiast than just a owner that wants to show off or a car reviewer advertising for all cars and brands .. It just shows more honesty and real connection to the car details. Unfortunately the new Mustang is trying to get Camaro fans attention by copying the character and the main design lines .. but still not making the same level of fun and emotional power link with the drivers ..
90+% of 2SS owners ( and by far reviewers amd sales people) don't know the 2SS has a default normal backup rear side mirror that can be changed easily to down tilt! You can choose a side, or both to downtilt in reverse! A GAME CHANGER! Like typical CHEVY, no marketing of the Camaro, no dealership education. Engineering at GM must be livid their ideas and implimentation is not noticed! I have more "easter eggs" if interested.
I'm still enjoying my 2016 SS which I think looks the best. She is still low miles with 39000. Trans and tuned everything else is bone stock and loving it.
Is this in Miami??
The LT1 is a great engine. Better than the LS3 no question
For sure! Just wish it wasn’t so pricey to work on.
Love my 18 SS1LE, 6
You can’t tell that notable difference in exhaust from sport and track until you get up at 90 mph quicker shifts in track mode the exhaust will roar I have a 22 SS
Interesting. I have to pay attention next time I'm in mexico
Track mode sound is more deep and rough, and obviously more pops and crackles
I may be in the minority here, but there really isn't anything in the 2ss I can't live without. 1ss seemed fine for me.
That rear view camera and vented seats are what would sell me tbh.
for me it was the blind spots and the bose. I just got a 2ss 1le and i wasn't finding any 1ss's with the bose. Don't regret tbh, they are equally amazing cars.
@@carlosmolinero6537 Funny enough, the LT1 actually has the bose options even the 1SS does not.
I don't think GM was trying to compete with BMW when it came to interior or seating capacity. The SS was the last vehicle that GM attempted that with. For the money the SS is one hell of a package that punches way above its weight class. I'm glad to see a video that take the time to go into the advantages of the regular SS. The 1LE videos are a dime a dozen. I own a 6th Gen SS and my only complaint is that HUD should have been standard in all SS models.
I think European cars are the benchmark for "style and luxury" also handling and driving exp. You nailed it.... The Camaro is an incredible deal in terms of all of those things FOR THE MONEY. BMW's are hitting the high 90's which is CRAZY.
On KZhead you laugh and in garages you cry when paying repair bills for your Camaro lol
Lol my guy said headers, intake abs e85 is about all you can do😂. Heads/ cam? Supercharge?
Ong bro😭😭
I think he meant that that's as much as you can do without spending like 6k+ or something absurd.
The guy at the car meet that said the interior isn’t as nice as his M4 , well the m4 is just about 100k not 50. Lots of people compare it to a 911 and put it down … the SS is one of the best cars with the type of performance for the money.
This looks like miami man, you know any car meets i just moved down here its pretty neat
Love my Camaro!
If it had a 70's bod/ retro look I would consider it, it seems it needs more curbs!?🤔
The crowd towards the end was cool…yes it’s the ultimate car sub $100,000…
I luv my 2018 SS ....
I have a 2023 1SS black with aluminum wheels. I'm telling you this car gets everyone in their feelings and I don't know why. There is no such thing as going for a casual ride, whether to the store, mall, coffee shop, or on the freeway. There is always some ridiculous driver looking for attention or an attempt to get one over on me. Even when I'm parked, eating lunch on a 30 mph road, they will zoom behind me at 40+ mph, I guess to just get on my nerves or convince themselves that they have a more powerful car, which I doubt. But anyway, I love this SS and maybe they do also but can't get pass their egos 😂
To be honest as a 2018 2ss owner 4 seconds 0-60 isnt even the fastest u can push this car my 8 speed did it in 3.9 just with good tires these cars can really show out and i love it i cant imagine the 10 spd
YOOO WWWW INTROOO
Bro I'm glad you liked it! More to come :)
I am about to pull the trigger on 2020 Camaro 2SS for 35,000 EUR. Thanks!
stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do i buy this or a house? SS will be a rare collectable soon but so will the house😂
Fuck the house
I have a charger v6 and i don’t know if i buy a charger rt or a camaro ss…
Camaro SS, more expensive but worth it!
@@gvaspiratedthanks man, im 100% getting the ss soon
900th like award goes to me
Ahhhh it’s finally here 🙈
Bro FINALLY!
Can we have a funeral for each state capital city for the Camaro? Everyone show up with your Camaro to show your respect 🫡 🇺🇸
bruhhhh xD
Bro I haven’t even ever been exposed to a v8 car, so once I get my next car which will be a v8, I’m not gonna know how to act. When you come from the bottom bottom, success taste different and I can taste it coming soon🥵😩
3 generations and different performance models, 4 cams, 32 valves to keep up with a Chevy
It’s not muscle anymore it’s a sports car now
“Unless you know Camaros like I do”. You kept saying this car was a “track focused” car. Mf it’s a regular ss. Not a 1le. No extra cooling no 1le brakes no 1le suspention no elsd. It’s a touring car
Only thing better than a cameros in turn of fun for dollar is the corvette
Lower the CEOs wadges about 28 million a year and lower higher up wadges while you are at it and keep jobs and the Camaro nobody needs 29 million a year like she gets to live. i hate to see jobs and Camaro gone now we will see more foreign crap here i hate it
Shooda gotta stick.
The Camaro is no longer the competition for the Mustang it’s the Corvettes that are worried now!!
No... It depends on which trim of mustang. Corvette is in a different league.
I love the Camaro. I had one. But the problem was the disability couldn’t see nothing out of it.
Best car in America. Better than any Bun Man BMW or some crappy Mustang. Mustang is distant second.
😁👍🏻
U so funny bro u keep on laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
These 6 gens might be fast but the cabin is WAY smaller than the 5th gen. I’m 6ft 1 and I barely in my buddies 2021 ss.
ABBA
Camaro is the best muscle car for mens holding hand with your boyfriend together in the car
The Mustangs are actually notorious in the car memes for that type of relationship bro, you do know that right?
NGL. IMHO, Ford and Dodge spiced everything up and squeezed everything they could, GM is lazy and neglecting the Camaro. They're too fixated on the Corvette.
Eff BMW.
A CAMARO IS NOT A MUSCLE CAR ANYMORE THOUGH 😂
So it seems bro.
Stopped watching when you said automatic Zzz
Bruh xD
8 years with no improvements? And your contempt? Someone get this man a real car.
Your mom likes my 2ss
Bro, is that laugh real? Aint never in my life heard no shit like that. Feels forced.
The Camaro body is better not the engine. The Coyote is a better engine. It should’ve had an engine upgrade like the corvette version of the 6.2
Nice car just getting rid of that queer laugh it's annoying
ford got better engine i am not a ford fan it just the truth this guy just talking crap
Funny.. just wondering what would you say if you are a Ford fan 🤔
If they had a better engine. People would be engine swapping them more often. The ford engines are too big to fit in most cars and more expensive to modify. The LS/LT engines are just as reliable and have a lower cost to tune. It’s apples to oranges at that point.
