2SS because of the features that i know i would need mostly for the blind spots! But great video and also do you know what year they started having those features on the 2SS was it like a 2016 or 2019? That way while shopping for the car I know the years to look out for. Thanks for the info much appreciated!
@@dmacthetruth22Yeppers, 2SS is the way to go. I’m not sure about the years, I’ve been out of the Camaro game a while. I would assume that 2SS has always gotten you much more. Good luck with your shopping.
I went with a regular 1SS. My last Camaro was a 98 so this car is a huge upgrade to me. Like DelHudson1 said this is a weekend toy only for me. If it was a daily driver then maybe all the other bells and whistles, lights extra gizmos might have been a bit more important. The motor and manual trans was more important to me. I spent that extra 5K on an MSD intake, throttle body exhaust work and the 1LE wheel and tire package. I've upgraded a few other interior pieces but I am very happy with my 1SS. About the only thing I can think of I wish I could have gotten was the heads up display but I've never really had that either so not a big deal.
2SS was the one for me. I like the extra stuff you get with it, and to me it was worth it. My 2SS 1LE order went through on the 18th. Just so you know I picked the red knee pads because of your first video of you 1LE. If I hadn't seen yours I wouldn't have known it was an option. So thank you!
Same here man. Congratulations man, that is great news! No problem at all, I’m glad my video helped you with your build, that is exactly what these videos are for. You will love the Camaro when you get it! Keep me posted when you take delivery! 🙌😊
I just placed an order for the 1SS last week in Houston. $5400 is steep for those options in my opinion. Reading forums I found out the 1ss has all the hardware for the cooled seats but no switch on the dash and all you need to do is install a aftermarket switch on the seat somewhere to activate them which runs about a hundred dollars. Also the 1SS does come with the HUD. Only thing i may regret is not having the blind spot monitoring, but we'll see! I can't wait to drive this car! Great videos, keep it up! 👍
@@xtrythis1170 The other great bargain about the 1SS 1LE is leather seats. The 1LE packages costs the same whether you are adding it to a 1SS or a 2SS. In the 2SS you paid for leather seats but the 1SS 1LE ends up with the same Recaros! Same goes for the head-up display. It is not on the 1SS non-1LE comes on the 2SS but you still get it on the 1SS 1LE. Enjoy!
As an owner of a 2023 Camaro 1SS convertible, I have so many different things to say on this video, but will try to keep it brief. To me, it all depends on the reasons why you bought the car. Mine is not a daily driver. I live in the northeast, so my driving time is limited and effected by weather. I don't even turn on the radio because I want to hear the dual mode exhaust in sport mode. Most of these added features and driving aids are useless to me, and I hate heads up displays. I don't see the benefit of spending over $5K to have a slower car than the 1SS. That's basically what you are paying for with all the added weight from these add-ons. It's the same reason why I always bought Firebird Formulas over a Trans Am years ago. Same drivetrain in both cars, but the T/A was always slower than the Formula because of all the added weight from the luxury creature comforts. To each his own as they say, but I wanted share a viewpoint from someone who looks at things differently than others and puts things into perspective. Thank you for posting this video. You have a beautiful white 2SS btw.
Great feedback, I appreciate this comment big time! I totally understand what you are saying as well, and if I were only taking this car to the track, I would have gone with a 1SS instead. You’re welcome and thank you for your support. 🙌😊
Good question, but one that was easily answered for me...I bought my 1LE in 2017, and back then you could only get the 1LE package with the 1SS trim level. That said, for today's buyer whether 1SS or 2SS it doesn't really matter because the chassis is SO GOOD with this gen and the 1LE option is honestly a beast when it comes to performance on the track. I autox/track event my car regularly ever since I bought it and the overall fun factor is truly the win here regardless of the trim level. So, buy what you can afford and have fun with the car. Just save a little money back for new tires...they will wear out quickly... :)
I would order a black Camaro 1SS with the 1LE option. Add alloy pedals, black Camaro logo, illuminated sill plates, dark night spectrum lighting on the doors. $51,255 for the auto, $49,660 for the manual. I'm good either way.
Of course it’s worth it! Bose system, heated/cooled seats, remote start with auto trans, etc. I live in Phoenix and ordered one with the auto so I can cool the interior down. That, TO ME, is worth it!
1SS m6 was all i needed, not a bell & whistles guy. If i upgrade my ‘18 SS, it’ll be the ‘24 ZL1. Hopefully they bring back the green color option & im all in
Having owned 2 6th gen 2SS Camaros, I would never go without the side object detection & rear view camera. The SOD saved me a few times with a car in my blind spot I hadn't accounted for and the rear view camera is great for 2 reasons: the wide angle view is 10x better than a mirror & people behind you can have ultra bright headlights, but that doesn't blind you cause the camera defuses it. Wish I had the backup sensors on my Corvette, I wouldn't have backed into something in my garage, but it was never an option for the C7s. Memory seats are a must for 2 reasons: my old lady is short, I don't want her music presets and it gives you the option of side mirrors turning down (curb assist) during backing up, GREAT for spotting curbs. Skipping to the HUD, I love the screen that gives you speed limit for the street you're on and your speed, saved me a couple of time in Louisiana. I know radios are mostly "meh" on reasons for what car you're buying, but this Bose system is the best factory stereo I've ever heard, and if I can get another 6th gen, a must. Lastly, you might not have remote start on manual cars, but as a "consolation prize", if you double tap and hold the unlock button, the windows roll down. yay
The extra features especially the rear camera, blind spot monitoring, park sensors and heated mirrors would be nice (should be standard on this vehicle, with its visibility issues), however the bean counters cut every corner they can. However the essence of this vehicle is its styling and powertrain, regardless of 1SS or 2SS they both deliver on that front.
I have the 21 1SS with the 6 speed. It is is only driven on nice days, and days that are not cold. The heated/cooled seats are not need for me. The only thing I would like is the blind spot. It should be mandated for all cars. My car does not see rain or wet roads. It has never been in the rain. I only have 2800 miles, so you can see it is only driven occasionally. The 1SS came with the heads up display on mine as well. Great feature. The 1SS comes with the nice shift pattern on the shifter top as well.
I like the 1SS only because the cloth seats....even though they are like burlap bus quality covers....they HOLD ME IN PLACE. I have an 18 1SS and added the B14 Bilstein PSS Nordschliffe suspension. Car and Driver also recommended the 1SS with the 6 speed manual, HUD, MRC, and cloth or SS Recaro cloth seats. 😮 All those nannies would drive me nuts. The difference in price is really $10,000. When its winter I put it in the Garage and drive my truck. 2018 Camaro 1SS with the 1LE front and rear splitter and diffuser. Ride height is lowered 1".
I drove a 2SS for a couple of years and the rear view camera and blindspot monitoring were extremely important. You can't see well out the back or sides at all without them. The rest of the features were nice, but not essential. Whenever I approach a camaro on the road now I think "They can't see me at all".
I always love your comparisons. For me it's just too confusing since I'm just a simple man. 😉No comments please on the word "simple." 🤣 Great job Mike. Save the Wave 🙋♂
You know, I had to do a re-watch. Keep in mind I'm surrounded by Moo-Moos and those appeared to be Jersey Milk Cows. They blended in so well I missed them the first time watching. I would have really had a chuckle if you had showed some Holsteins. They would go perfect standing/grazing next to your Camaro and your Corvette. 🤣 But when all is said and done, who doesn't like to see fields with animals grazing? It could be wild animals like deer just grazing in small groups. Whereas have domesticated farm animals, mainly cows and sheep in small herds. We also have some horse farms, but I'm sure they're not the size of what you have in Texas. But we do have some BIG horses near me, as in Clydesdales. They're absolutely magnificent when seen up close and personal. Keep your channel animal friendly Mike. 😉
@@petercarey6883 I figured you’d like the cows. Yeah, Gods creation is always wonderful to see like this, which is why I showed it😊 clydesdales are amazing animals, it’s absolutely crazy how huge they are compared to a normal horse. It kind of reminds me of a normal half ton pick up next to a monster truck. Will do Peter, take care. 👍
Neither made sense. I had a 1SS. I want pure muscle car, never go to track. I bought an A10 LT1. Has better brakes then my old SS, way better trans then my A8. Cant believe how good it is and what I paid for it before microchip shenanigans and market bs. Great channel : )
Just got a 2023 1SS Convertible - didn't want to spend the extra $ for the features of the 2SS combined with the lack of the color combo I wanted (very limited availability) made the 1SS the right fit for me. I would have liked to have had the cross-lane backup radar and the lane blind spot warning in the mirrors though!!
A 1SS 1LE gets you the Recaro front and leather back seats and the hud. 2SS already comes with leather seats and the hud, but the 1LE package is the same price as the 1 SS. So more content in the 1SS 1LE package for the same price.
Truly needed this video! I’m going to get my 2SS next week!!!!! Not getting the 1LE due to the stiffness of it. I’m not going to be on the track unfortunately but I’ll be on the road/street and cruising on freeway!
I had a 2019 two SS and totaled it because I was screwing around on back roads and hit a deer doing about 100 mile an hour but when the cop asked how fast I was driving, I told him speed limit three times🤣🤣 he said if I was doing the speed limit, I had to hit a moose🤣 once I realized they were car guys I told the truth and we all had a laugh. But the 2ss is so nice, I would buy it again in a heartbeat if I was picking between the 2
Easy choice for me 2SS is well worth the $5k, I actually had a 2016 SS Camaro, and I hated the blind spots, rear digital camera was not invented then LOL 😁😁😁
Long time watcher first time commenter....I just pulled the trigger and ordered a Black 2ss 1le manual. No mark up at $52,545. I have a VF supercharged Huracan and can't wait to get my Camaro. The last time I had a Camaro it was a 1969 z28. Wish I still had it. Great videos Thumbs up.
Here's a strange quirk on the 2019 2SS 1LE. Now this is a Canadian market car but in 2019 getting the 1LE package on the 2SS deleted the camera rear view mirror. I wish I had it.
Wow, that is strange for sure. I don’t understand why GM does the things they do with these cars. You should be able to build these anyway you want to. It’s only more money for them. 🤦♂️
Yes sir. My 2019 2SS 1LE is from Canadian market and is also without the rear view mirror camera and sunroof. Thing is loaded with everything else though. Super fun car but it makes me worry too much. It isn't driven daily and sits in the garage most the time. 12,654 miles and warranty expired in May. I'm not a big guy so I have no clue how larger people get in and out of this thing. Especially when others park close. Doors are long and really need to swing open. I walk a lot due to parking way out away from people. Nice video.
U crank out great videos on your channel, really learn alot, so thx to that! Regarding the differences between the 1SS vs. 2SS, there are 15. The 2SS has the Forward Collision Alert, which is removed when available Performance Data and Video Recorder (PDVR) is ordered. Personally, you can't put a price on one's safety, convenience, and functionality, so for $5,400 that's money well spent for a 2SS Camaro, based on GM Specs for 2023-2024.
In my opinion it was no question when I ordered my Camaro I got the 2ss 1le I would not have ordered it different. I also got a 6 speed manual it is the only way to go. My dad and I both got the 2023 Camaro he ordered the ZL1 and I the 2ss 1le. He got auto and after driving mine he really wished he would have ordered his in manual.
I bought a 2021 2SS 1LE with the track package, to be honest it was the only Camaro on the lot. Great car but the track tires suck, what is the point of track tires if you can’t hear your Bose stereo? The car is scary fast and handle great. One thing I added was a front camera to protect the front spoiler.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking for info on the difference between the 1ss and 2ss. I am definitely upgrading from my 1lt to the 2ss.
Ive heard that the ventilation in the seats arent that good. And i believe it. I tested a '19 2ss convertible and i had the cooled seats on max. And i barely felt anything. In fact, it was blowing hot. I dont know if it was because the top was down when i was driving it. But its not gonna due - especially in the very hot houston 100⁰+ humid air
Blind spots… just get used to it. When I first bought my 18 ZL1 1LE, the blind spots were bad. I wanted to return it. But, about a week or 2 driving it everywhere you get used to it.
i own a 2021 2ss and i chose it cuz it’s the closes thing to a zl1, and it come with the rare view camera and sunroof also inside looks exactly like a zl1
Why the hell did GM put mirrors that don't fold at all on an $55K car? How f'ing stupid and incredibly cheap. Even $28K econcomy cars generally have mirrors that move. Inevitably in life someone will bump into one of those mirrors or you'll clip one on a side of garage entry, etc.? I wonder how having no 'give' in the mirrors works out in those instances.... Probably not very good. Still a cool car. I wouldn't even consider a 1SS. 2SS functional additions are really significant and of use.
I am going to weigh in on your video, but the only reason is because I got a 1SS was because I hate Alcantera. It shows butt print wear, and I noticed you have some funky rubber ring around your steering wheel to protect it from you sweaty hands. I prefer the leather steering wheel.
Let me say that I have a heated steering wheel in my car, and when I bought the car, I thought it was a pointless feature. It is not - it makes a huge difference in cold weather, and I don't think I'd ever buy another car without it. I'd take it over heated seats.
I have a 2023 1SS convertible and wish I would have gotten the 2SS. The difference was probably somewhere between $5,000-$7,000. The extra features are definitely worth it. In my opinion they should have never made a 1SS. There were too many models for this car to begin with. Anything below the 2SS is missing many features typically found in most cars at that same price range. For example, my MSRP was approximately $54,000 and there are no leather seats, heated seats, heated mirrors, and side mirror monitoring just to name a few. There are other features too that I did not list, but are typically not found in this price range. (HUD, lighted sill plates, Bose stereo, and others). GO WITH THE 2SS!!
To me the only 2SS features that are worth it/needed on my 1SS are the rear camera, blind spot monitoring, and the park sensors...everything else I couldn't care less about.
Still waiting on my 2SS 1 LE 2023. It is built just sitting waiting to be put on transport. Delivery is 2nd week of June 2023. I had the cash so all the extras you get with the 2SS are worth it to me. This is going to be just a weekend and every once in a while driver not a daily.
I did want a 2SS, but got impatient with the pending Camaro demise and had the resources at the time to make a move on a good deal that popped up on a '21 6 speed 1SS in Dec with 1280 miles on it. Only options were Recaro's, Dual Mode exhaust, Carbon flash wheels w/SS caps, and Wild Cherry Tint. I was specifically looking for that color with a manual. Most dealers were also marking up in my area at the time (Hendrick was not though). I would have preferred the 2SS. But I do I do plan to install the Gen5DIY rear view mirror kit (the antenna mount camera version). I would have preferred the Premium Bose. HUD, and seat memory for sure! I also plan to enable the seat fans as someone mentioned below. But I’m happy with big Red non the less!
I'm happy that you got a 21 camaro. The tin coat red was an option and the dual exhaust was also an option. Starting price was 42 k and you said you have carbon flash rims the was also an option. Tin coat was 400 dollars more the Recaro seat was I think 6 thousand dollars with dual exhaust. I ordered a 2022 2ss camaro riverside blue with front splitter and bright silver rims and pearl white hash tags with light gray interior and I was cost of $50.000.00 oh and also the 10speed. My car is a garage queen it only has 2 thousand miles
I am so happy that I bought the automatic 10speed 2022 2ss. I didn't order ther 1LE package because I don't track my camaro. The ride is stiff already in track mode and sport mode. If you order a new camaro order the option rims for your camaro so you won't look like the rest of the camaro guy's. I didn't order a upgrade air filter. But I ordered the front splitter and order later my carbon fiber side skirts from. American muscle. Have fun with your camaro
You can adjust the suspension and steering in the infotainment panel and lock them in on tour mode. Then when you toggle your mode on console it only changes exhaust note and traction. Even in sport or track you can retain a softer ride and lighter steering.
@keithcastleberry3993 I have the traction control knob and all of that time speed too on my dash. I mostly run my camaro in sport or track mod but the touring mode is really soft and I use it with my wife is in the car. One thing I wish they didn't have is reminding me of oil change. I changed my oil at 800 miles and now it's telling me oil change and I only got 2k mile on my 2022 2ss
@gilbertahsam643 hmmm, you can't go into menu on steering wheel and reset it. I changed my oil 3 times. Every January regardless, 10 quarts, and reset it and goes back to 100%.
@keithcastleberry3993 when I had 800 miles after I bought the car brand new I changed the oil and now it has 2 thousand miles and it's telling me for oil service. I made a appointment with Perrysburg Chevrolet in teledo and tomorrow morning I have an appointment with them. I gess even if you only drive 1 thousand miles or less every year they will let you know it's time for oil change
What woudl be good advice to give a 20 year old kid . I can make payments on a ‘16-‘19 SS but part of me wants to just get a LT or LS buy out cash and wait a couple years to get a ZL1
Hi ! If i have like 3000-4000€ Per month, can i afford a camaro? Is it expensive to maintain ? How much would it cost me to have this car? No fuel included
Can't decide, I'll take them both, the new 1025 HP MOPAR, or NO CAR Dodge Demon, will be here, very soon, 2,300 units to be built, in Canada, maybe as much as 2500 units, they are still working on the final number, start at $100K, not too many options. The end of the 2nd era gas muscle, is here......CHILL....🥶🥶🥶
The wireless charging pad is so useless. It does not fit certain IPhones. The location doesn’t really matter to me because 2023 2SS has wireless AppleCare play.
Also, the 2SS doesn't come with a garage opener so you have to carry a garage door opener. My 1979 Cadillac had a 3 door garage door system. Come on GM. That was 44 years ago. Come to think of it. Even my 53 Chevy came with push button start. Back to the Future
I bought new a 2021-2SS wild cherry tin coat Camaro ... my question is ... I was thinking that the 1SS had cloth seats and the 2SS does have leather ... did the 1SS come with cloth but an option up price would get you the leather seats in the 1SS ?
The Camaro has jumped in price a great deal over the last couple years and no available special financing offers from GM financial. With the hiked prices and insane rates, buying this car is a hard no for me.
So does the 2SS come in different trims or are they all 1LE? I’m planning on getting the 2SS but just want to make sure they’re all basically the same package. All these car manufacturers make trim levels so difficult these days lol
Would you choose 1ss or 2ss and why?
2SS because of the features that i know i would need mostly for the blind spots! But great video and also do you know what year they started having those features on the 2SS was it like a 2016 or 2019? That way while shopping for the car I know the years to look out for.

2ss 1le
Simply put the luxury features! Where did you get the steering wheel cover form?
Thank you for posting the differences I'm definitely 2ss if I'm going to spend that much I'm going all the way I also ordered 1LE package....

1SS here too but calm down on the weight. I think the diff is like 50lb.
Great Video
How much extra weight are you talking about ???
@@super8matehe must think that cooled seats and a heated steering wheel etc adds 1000 pounds lol

Love your Camaro content. I’m a proud owner of a 2022 Camaro 2SS
Thank you, I appreciate it. I bet you love yours as much as I love mine. 😊
You get the heads up display, power Recaro seats on the 1SS 1LE and also the remote start on the A10. Just wanted to let you know.
That's what I thought...I put $ down on a 1SS 1LE and I just checked the window sticker Power Recaro seats and HUD is part of 1LE package
My 2023 2SS just got delivered on April 17th, and I love it! That rearview mirror camera is awesome!
This is a super helpful video. The drawback is that I can’t even contemplate getting an LT1 now.
Nice bells and whistles on the 2SS. I was only able go as far as the LT1. The 6.2, by itself, is sufficient for my needs, lol. Good vid.
I would order a black Camaro 1SS with the 1LE option. Add alloy pedals, black Camaro logo, illuminated sill plates, dark night spectrum lighting on the doors. $51,255 for the auto, $49,660 for the manual. I'm good either way.
Of course it’s worth it! Bose system, heated/cooled seats, remote start with auto trans, etc. I live in Phoenix and ordered one with the auto so I can cool the interior down. That, TO ME, is worth it!
Heck yeah! 👍😊

The difference in price is really $10,000.
When its winter I put it in the Garage and drive my truck.
2018 Camaro 1SS with the 1LE front and rear splitter and diffuser. Ride height is lowered 1".
I ordered the 2SS for these very reasons
Awesome, you will love it! 🙌
I drove a 2SS for a couple of years and the rear view camera and blindspot monitoring were extremely important. You can't see well out the back or sides at all without them. The rest of the features were nice, but not essential. Whenever I approach a camaro on the road now I think "They can't see me at all".
I always love your comparisons. For me it's just too confusing since I'm just a simple man. 😉No comments please on the word "simple." 🤣
Great job Mike. Save the Wave 🙋♂
Thank you Peter. How’d you like my moo friends at the beginning? I’m glad you enjoyed this. This Camaro is a blast! 😊🙌
You know, I had to do a re-watch. Keep in mind I'm surrounded by Moo-Moos and those appeared to be Jersey Milk Cows. They blended in so well I missed them the first time watching. I would have really had a chuckle if you had showed some Holsteins. They would go perfect standing/grazing next to your Camaro and your Corvette. 🤣 But when all is said and done, who doesn't like to see fields with animals grazing? It could be wild animals like deer just grazing in small groups. Whereas have domesticated farm animals, mainly cows and sheep in small herds. We also have some horse farms, but I'm sure they're not the size of what you have in Texas. But we do have some BIG horses near me, as in Clydesdales. They're absolutely magnificent when seen up close and personal.
Keep your channel animal friendly Mike. 😉
@@petercarey6883 I figured you’d like the cows. Yeah, Gods creation is always wonderful to see like this, which is why I showed it😊 clydesdales are amazing animals, it’s absolutely crazy how huge they are compared to a normal horse. It kind of reminds me of a normal half ton pick up next to a monster truck.
Will do Peter, take care. 👍
Information that I can use. Thanks again
I think Ima trade my q50 for a 1SS absolutely in love with this car atm.
Neither made sense. I had a 1SS. I want pure muscle car, never go to track. I bought an A10 LT1. Has better brakes then my old SS, way better trans then my A8. Cant believe how good it is and what I paid for it before microchip shenanigans and market bs. Great channel : )
The LT1 is so under appreciated.
Just got a 2023 1SS Convertible - didn't want to spend the extra $ for the features of the 2SS combined with the lack of the color combo I wanted (very limited availability) made the 1SS the right fit for me. I would have liked to have had the cross-lane backup radar and the lane blind spot warning in the mirrors though!!
2023 1SS vivid orange metallic w/design package 2 (carbon flash chin spoiler & side skirts, 20" polished wheels, color matching calipers), active exhaust, 10 speed auto.
A 1SS 1LE gets you the Recaro front and leather back seats and the hud. 2SS already comes with leather seats and the hud, but the 1LE package is the same price as the 1 SS. So more content in the 1SS 1LE package for the same price.
Great video. Very good with showing us the main things the camaro has.
Truly needed this video! I’m going to get my 2SS next week!!!!! Not getting the 1LE due to the stiffness of it. I’m not going to be on the track unfortunately but I’ll be on the road/street and cruising on freeway!
Awesome, I’m glad this helped you and congratulations on your new Camaro! 🙌
The 1LE has magnetic shocks and it rides very smoothly when you're in touring mode!!
You can zoom in and out on the rear view mirror on 2ss
That is correct.
I had a 1SS but recently traded in my Camaro for a 2SS. All the extra features is totally worth it
I had a 2019 two SS and totaled it because I was screwing around on back roads and hit a deer doing about 100 mile an hour but when the cop asked how fast I was driving, I told him speed limit three times🤣🤣 he said if I was doing the speed limit, I had to hit a moose🤣 once I realized they were car guys I told the truth and we all had a laugh. But the 2ss is so nice, I would buy it again in a heartbeat if I was picking between the 2
Easy choice for me 2SS is well worth the $5k, I actually had a 2016 SS Camaro, and I hated the blind spots, rear digital camera was not invented then LOL 😁😁😁
Long time watcher first time commenter....I just pulled the trigger and ordered a Black 2ss 1le manual. No mark up at $52,545. I have a VF supercharged Huracan and can't wait to get my Camaro. The last time I had a Camaro it was a 1969 z28. Wish I still had it. Great videos Thumbs up.
Awesome and thank you for this comment! Congratulations on your Camaro order, you will love it!!!
You talked me into it 2ss is a must for more luxury features
I have a 1SS 1le I would had gone with the 2ss but it was extremely difficult to get either. When my dealership had a 1ss I just went for it.
Great content as always! Bought a 2ss black exterior and loving it 🤙
Thank you and congratulations on your new Camaro! 🙌😊
Here's a strange quirk on the 2019 2SS 1LE. Now this is a Canadian market car but in 2019 getting the 1LE package on the 2SS deleted the camera rear view mirror. I wish I had it.
Wow, that is strange for sure. I don’t understand why GM does the things they do with these cars. You should be able to build these anyway you want to. It’s only more money for them. 🤦♂️
Yes sir. My 2019 2SS 1LE is from Canadian market and is also without the rear view mirror camera and sunroof. Thing is loaded with everything else though. Super fun car but it makes me worry too much. It isn't driven daily and sits in the garage most the time. 12,654 miles and warranty expired in May. I'm not a big guy so I have no clue how larger people get in and out of this thing. Especially when others park close. Doors are long and really need to swing open. I walk a lot due to parking way out away from people. Nice video.
It was the bird poop that did it for me on this episode 🎉😂😂😂😂
Lol, that was huge! 💩💩💩
U crank out great videos on your channel, really learn alot, so thx to that! Regarding the differences between the 1SS vs. 2SS, there are 15. The 2SS has the Forward Collision Alert, which is removed when available Performance Data and Video Recorder (PDVR) is ordered. Personally, you can't put a price on one's safety, convenience, and functionality, so for $5,400 that's money well spent for a 2SS Camaro, based on GM Specs for 2023-2024.
In my opinion it was no question when I ordered my Camaro I got the 2ss 1le I would not have ordered it different. I also got a 6 speed manual it is the only way to go. My dad and I both got the 2023 Camaro he ordered the ZL1 and I the 2ss 1le. He got auto and after driving mine he really wished he would have ordered his in manual.
I bought a 2021 2SS 1LE with the track package, to be honest it was the only Camaro on the lot. Great car but the track tires suck, what is the point of track tires if you can’t hear your Bose stereo? The car is scary fast and handle great. One thing I added was a front camera to protect the front spoiler.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking for info on the difference between the 1ss and 2ss. I am definitely upgrading from my 1lt to the 2ss.
excellent video...well worth the money..
I have a 2010 ss manual and will get the automatic. Yea the manual is fun but that automatic shifts so fast it’s unbelievable.
I have the exact same car and you nailed it on the head. Great car and I love it!
Ive heard that the ventilation in the seats arent that good. And i believe it. I tested a '19 2ss convertible and i had the cooled seats on max. And i barely felt anything. In fact, it was blowing hot. I dont know if it was because the top was down when i was driving it. But its not gonna due - especially in the very hot houston 100⁰+ humid air
I’m getting a 2ss this year
I have a 24 manual SS no regrets love my car
Remote start function is standard on all trim levels
Great Job, Thank you!
Blind spots… just get used to it. When I first bought my 18 ZL1 1LE, the blind spots were bad. I wanted to return it. But, about a week or 2 driving it everywhere you get used to it.
i own a 2021 2ss and i chose it cuz it’s the closes thing to a zl1, and it come with the rare view camera and sunroof also inside looks exactly like a zl1
Is this just for 23 Camaro
Where did u purchase the graphics, c8 corvette. I own 2022 c8 coupe ceramic grey , and really like the side graphics on your c8!
Pal no one cares this is about Camaro so enjoy your tube socks your new balance from the 80s and your gold chains
Why the hell did GM put mirrors that don't fold at all on an $55K car? How f'ing stupid and incredibly cheap. Even $28K econcomy cars generally have mirrors that move. Inevitably in life someone will bump into one of those mirrors or you'll clip one on a side of garage entry, etc.? I wonder how having no 'give' in the mirrors works out in those instances.... Probably not very good.
Still a cool car. I wouldn't even consider a 1SS. 2SS functional additions are really significant and of use.
This is GM we are talking about here. They don’t make sense a lot of the time. They build their trim packages so weird sometimes.
I am going to weigh in on your video, but the only reason is because I got a 1SS was because I hate Alcantera. It shows butt print wear, and I noticed you have some funky rubber ring around your steering wheel to protect it from you sweaty hands. I prefer the leather steering wheel.
Let me say that I have a heated steering wheel in my car, and when I bought the car, I thought it was a pointless feature. It is not - it makes a huge difference in cold weather, and I don't think I'd ever buy another car without it. I'd take it over heated seats.
I believe 2ss has lighted sill plates.
I have a 2023 1SS convertible and wish I would have gotten the 2SS. The difference was probably somewhere between $5,000-$7,000. The extra features are definitely worth it. In my opinion they should have never made a 1SS. There were too many models for this car to begin with. Anything below the 2SS is missing many features typically found in most cars at that same price range. For example, my MSRP was approximately $54,000 and there are no leather seats, heated seats, heated mirrors, and side mirror monitoring just to name a few. There are other features too that I did not list, but are typically not found in this price range. (HUD, lighted sill plates, Bose stereo, and others). GO WITH THE 2SS!!
To me the only 2SS features that are worth it/needed on my 1SS are the rear camera, blind spot monitoring, and the park sensors...everything else I couldn't care less about.
Still waiting on my 2SS 1 LE 2023. It is built just sitting waiting to be put on transport. Delivery is 2nd week of June 2023. I had the cash so all the extras you get with the 2SS are worth it to me. This is going to be just a weekend and every once in a while driver not a daily.
Congratulations Next week I pick up my 2SS 1LE.... The same car that this guy is reviewing but I also have a sun roof...
@@johntclunie yes I got the Sun roof also. Congrats on getting yours. My dad ordered the 23 ZL1 his arrived today looks amazing.
Congratulations, when did you order the car to be build? ( how long it took to be built?)
I do not have an ss or 2ss but my rs has practically all of this
It does seem worth it. A different climate? LoL Just picturing what that conversation is like in the car.
Lol, it’s fun 😂
I have a 1ss 2018 convertible automatic and it has remote start and top down function from remote.
I did want a 2SS, but got impatient with the pending Camaro demise and had the resources at the time to make a move on a good deal that popped up on a '21 6 speed 1SS in Dec with 1280 miles on it. Only options were Recaro's, Dual Mode exhaust, Carbon flash wheels w/SS caps, and Wild Cherry Tint. I was specifically looking for that color with a manual. Most dealers were also marking up in my area at the time (Hendrick was not though). I would have preferred the 2SS. But I do I do plan to install the Gen5DIY rear view mirror kit (the antenna mount camera version). I would have preferred the Premium Bose. HUD, and seat memory for sure! I also plan to enable the seat fans as someone mentioned below. But I’m happy with big Red non the less!
I'm happy that you got a 21 camaro. The tin coat red was an option and the dual exhaust was also an option. Starting price was 42 k and you said you have carbon flash rims the was also an option. Tin coat was 400 dollars more the Recaro seat was I think 6 thousand dollars with dual exhaust. I ordered a 2022 2ss camaro riverside blue with front splitter and bright silver rims and pearl white hash tags with light gray interior and I was cost of $50.000.00 oh and also the 10speed. My car is a garage queen it only has 2 thousand miles
In white - totally awesome 👍
Anyone able to negotiate the 2SS under msrp?
Also, if you hold down the unlock button on the remote, it will roll down your windows
i got even lower, lt1 lol
you have dual climate control on every camaros, plus you have memory seat on the 1ss too and much more that the 2ss have too
I am so happy that I bought the automatic 10speed 2022 2ss. I didn't order ther 1LE package because I don't track my camaro. The ride is stiff already in track mode and sport mode. If you order a new camaro order the option rims for your camaro so you won't look like the rest of the camaro guy's. I didn't order a upgrade air filter. But I ordered the front splitter and order later my carbon fiber side skirts from. American muscle. Have fun with your camaro
You can adjust the suspension and steering in the infotainment panel and lock them in on tour mode. Then when you toggle your mode on console it only changes exhaust note and traction. Even in sport or track you can retain a softer ride and lighter steering.
@keithcastleberry3993 I have the traction control knob and all of that time speed too on my dash. I mostly run my camaro in sport or track mod but the touring mode is really soft and I use it with my wife is in the car. One thing I wish they didn't have is reminding me of oil change. I changed my oil at 800 miles and now it's telling me oil change and I only got 2k mile on my 2022 2ss
Thank you for the video showing awesome video. I will subscribe to your channel on utube
@gilbertahsam643 hmmm, you can't go into menu on steering wheel and reset it. I changed my oil 3 times. Every January regardless, 10 quarts, and reset it and goes back to 100%.
@keithcastleberry3993 when I had 800 miles after I bought the car brand new I changed the oil and now it has 2 thousand miles and it's telling me for oil service. I made a appointment with Perrysburg Chevrolet in teledo and tomorrow morning I have an appointment with them. I gess even if you only drive 1 thousand miles or less every year they will let you know it's time for oil change
What woudl be good advice to give a 20 year old kid . I can make payments on a ‘16-‘19 SS but part of me wants to just get a LT or LS buy out cash and wait a couple years to get a ZL1
Thanks a lot . Very helpful information. Is their a way to covert speed indicator from Mil to KM/h
Hi ! If i have like 3000-4000€ Per month, can i afford a camaro? Is it expensive to maintain ? How much would it cost me to have this car? No fuel included
Sold!
Sounds good today but in 10 years, that's a lot of extra tech to fail.
Can't decide, I'll take them both, the new 1025 HP MOPAR, or NO CAR Dodge Demon, will be here, very soon, 2,300 units to be built, in Canada, maybe as much as 2500 units, they are still working on the final number, start at $100K, not too many options. The end of the 2nd era gas muscle, is here......CHILL....🥶🥶🥶
I hear ya, this is both an exciting time and sad ending to an amazing ICE era!
The wireless charging pad is so useless. It does not fit certain IPhones. The location doesn’t really matter to me because 2023 2SS has wireless AppleCare play.
Did you special order yours? If so, why didn’t you add the sun roof?
I love this car
The rear camera makes it worth it
What is the top speed of the 2ss
Also, the 2SS doesn't come with a garage opener so you have to carry a garage door opener. My 1979 Cadillac had a 3 door garage door system. Come on GM. That was 44 years ago. Come to think of it. Even my 53 Chevy came with push button start. Back to the Future
I bought new a 2021-2SS wild cherry tin coat Camaro ... my question is ... I was thinking that the 1SS had cloth seats and the 2SS does have leather ... did the 1SS come with cloth but an option up price would get you the leather seats in the 1SS ?
My 2023 Camaro 1ss has remote start
Is the EU Model automatically the 2SS?
I have a 19 2ss and mine don't have the wireless charging that must be an option
The Camaro has jumped in price a great deal over the last couple years and no available special financing offers from GM financial. With the hiked prices and insane rates, buying this car is a hard no for me.
So does the 2SS come in different trims or are they all 1LE? I’m planning on getting the 2SS but just want to make sure they’re all basically the same package. All these car manufacturers make trim levels so difficult these days lol
Are the SS seats and Camaro emblem at the bottom of the door the same too?
Thank you sir
Zl1 is the way to !!!!!!!!!
Can the 1ss be upgraded with the blind spot mirrors ? , as i see its the most vital aspect
the same commercial comes on every time. It is about a Chinese performance
Reminds me of the crazy Eddie commercials
2SS 1LE 🎯
The non facelift 2ss hasnt the mirror Camera right?
Perfect video
I have both the Corvette and the 2SS Camaro and the heads up display is disappointing lacking many of the features compared to the Corvette
Well doesn’t the Corvette cost more ?
