I have 2 payments left on my Camara , then I am getting 2ss or vette! If I end up with 700 a month ? That's ok. I love my car. I work like a dog , but when I get in my car ( bumblebee) it runs , looks , feels so good! It's the only tangible thing that consistently makes me feel this way. It's a luxury I admit , but I don't drink , smoke , or anything else. Some people spend 500.00 a month on smoking.
Goshh and I’m sitting here dying for the day to come when I get my hands on my challenger 😤 so I could drive with you guys and share that same experience 😬
Lots and lots of factors go into the cost of owning one of these cars, and then maintaining it. I have a 2018 2SS, got a great interest rate, payments are around $620/month (put down $5k). I have a weekend insurance plan since the Camaro is not my daily - it's a pleasure car. Due to the insurance package I have, insurance on the camaro is $94 a month (that's including a multiple car bundle and discounts because I've never had an accident or gotten a ticket - though I've been close on the latter!). Tire costs can range from $900-1500 for all 4 tires, but very dependent on the type of tire. I only drive mine in warmer months and I drive it hard so I ball out on good tires - the stock Goodyear Eagle F1 are pretty good. Expect the oil change to be around $100. If you can do it yourself you'll definitely save some bucks. Lastly, it is a V8 and a thirsty car and so fill ups are usually around $40 for me - that's using premium (93) at around $3.20/gallon. Also very dependent on how you drive the car. And yes, premium is recommended in the owners manual. If you're looking into buying one of these, my advice is do your research on costs and maintenance costs and shop around for both the car and financing!!! Most people just walk into dealerships with a baseline price in mind and no other prepared knowledge. By doing that you are shooting yourself in the foot! I walked in knowing everything about the car and its financing and was pre-approved for loans with incredible interest rates. The salesperson I was working with legit panicked because they never met someone so prepared - also, it took an hour of phone calls to their banks but the dealer actually beat my interest rate with a lower one through one of their banks. That never would have happened if I wasn't prepared. Moral of the story, I love my car, it's worth the money to me, but I am a very smart shopper, owner, and driver. Moral of the story, do your homework before signing.
Why aren't you guys doing your own oil changes😅 its so damn easy. I pay 65 bucks for mobile one 15k mille full synthetic blend and a k&n filter. Don't pay people to do that easy job lol.
John2russ most of the time I do but sometimes it’s a pain in the ass and I don’t got a lift and don’t feel like getting oil every where. I always spill smh
Very good point with the tires, a lot of people that are interested in buying a used camaro ss don't consider how quickly they will be dropping another grand on a set of tires. All of the sudden, that decent deal you got for the car - was so decent!
Just so y'all know I own a 2016 2SS Camaro. The battery cost $284.00,front headlamp $135.00 .It's just my weekend driver so it didn't impact my wallet but it did surprise me. The guy at the auto parts store said thats what you get for buying a sports car..😆
I gotta 2019 2ss and it’s not that bad on maintenance when you do everything yourself (Synthetic oil 40$ 4 months)(brakes 50$ 6 months)(tires 800$ yearly)(Gas 50$ week) (payment 615$) (insurance 210$) would recommend a Camaro really fun n reliable

Thanks for sharing too! And yeah, I don't think some others realized how serious it was when I talked about how much I drive lol. It is really bad actually and I am looking to cut down.
Brandon TheSage under my moms insurance. I’m 21 , hell no I ain’t getting my own yet till I’m 25 😂 but I’m still proud to say that the whole car is in my name. No co signer. 💪🏽
Appreciate the input, have a 2016 camaro 2SS. Was fortunate enough to pay it all cash so no monthly payments & insurance is 422 every 6 months. Maintenance has been normal, have owned it for 2 & a half years & nothing bad so far but now looking at ZL1s
Divine Prosperity7 hey what’s up, no I think you misunderstood, I pay 422 every 6 months, it comes out to 70 a month for full coverage. I have 21st century. Just gotta look around for the best insurance. I know people paying like 200 a month for Nissan Sentras.
Thank you for this video! Recently I’ve become really interested in the camaro 2SS and this was super informative. My credit is exceptional so I don’t think my APR would be high and my driving record is clean so I don’t think I’d be paying too much in insurance.Also I want to put at least 10k down when I sign. 12.5k max lol
@@OP_-pk9hm makes 0 sense 🤣🤣 just a bunch of misguided sheep babies wanting nice things without actually wanting and having shit that matters… they don’t know that CREDIT rules if you have to put 12K down on a Camaro your credit is dirt shit you can go and put 0 down !!!!! , he’s better off finding something 7-10K and trying to put 0 down there
@@kujozz3949 don’t take my opinion for it. Look up the average savings account for a 20-30 year old. Unless you got massive support from mommy and daddy, or you live in some boring town where rent/mortgage is $1000 a month with no kids, then yes 30k is a lot. Now imagine you saved that much money and you decide to put it in a car that only takes premium with high gas prices. Imagine using that as your down payment instead of a home when it was record low interest rates… yea, smart. I make 105k, rent $2400 monthly, no kids, and zero college debt and even then 30k would take me a while. You have to structure your budget too. It shouldn’t go all into savings. Not sure how that makes me a bozo lol
I love my 2016, 2SS. It's not a daily driver and I do all the maintenance myself. Wait until you build up the motor, that gas mileage will drop even more, lol. Totally worth it!
I daily drive lol 😂 the nay sayers can’t afford to daily drive I use it as my daily it’s perfect the mpg isn’t as terrible as you think for a v8 but it’s a muscle car Fr if you can’t afford it then buy a honda
He lives so close to me😂 Thanks for this awesome video im only almost 17 but i really want to get a 2ss in the next few years and this helped me understand an estimate of what it would cost. 👍(new sub btw)
Subscribed ! I graduate college in a few weeks and I’m going to get me my dream Camaro. This was Informative ! My dream car since I was in high school 😆
I have a SS2 2017 Fifty. A true 50. I have five thousand miles on it and soon enough it will 2023. I love it and plan on keeping it for another 7 years ❤. So now that it’s broken in I plan on having some fun😂. This is my fourth Camaro ❤
Soft tires are faster…. Hard tires are more durable.. Soft tires make more noise, hard tires do less…. Want u to say what u think…. Soft tires on the back and har on the front…. Actually.. I don’t know.. if u can make a video about that I’ll be glad to see!! Sorry about my EN.. Nice video… I enjoy a lot!! I do own a Camaro Fifty in Brazil.. thanks for sharing!
I just picked up my 2019 2ss 1LE last week, I can't stop driving it 😆but damn, they do love to drink!! I'm averaging 13.2mpg right now, but almost all of my driving is short trips, and i've been using a very heavy foot hahaha
Lol, I’ve driven mine 26k in 7 months. 2 of those trips were across country but I can attest to the fact that they drive amazingly. I want a Corvette Gran Sport next; ZL1 & ZO6 are out of my price range but I can imagine they drive even better than a dam SS 😉
@@slimp9944 They started offering the 2SS 1LE as of the 2018 production models. Being in Canada and driving mine throughout the winter (i've been blasted by many people online for this already lol), the 2ss is such a nice package to have (heated steering wheel/seats)
i have a 2019 ss all black with recaro seats in it. i like to play with with but from south dakota i do a lot of long distance driving so i am averaging about 23.5 mpg so not too bad. love your video keep it and yes smiles per gallon when you hit the gas it is awesome
I came upon your vid cause I was searching more into 2ss. After your review I can officially say I will be able to afford my 2ss. It will be my first car and it will be 2022 so payments might be a bit high but I already spend a lot on my beater car. I spend around 450-480 a month on gas. Insurance will be around 200 as well but it definitely would be worth it.
New sub brotha! You have a sick camaro and I recently became a Maro lover. Alot and I mean a lot of people are driving mopar here in Indianapolis and I wanted to change it up and do something different, so I decided to become a Camaro lover and found my new love ❤️. Well stay safe and bless!
Nice car. I will say $100 for an oil change is ridiculous. Synthetic oil costs $2-5 for (5-7 quarts) more than conventional and involves the same process. With these beautiful cars I suggest looking at doing it yourself for $24-30 vs paying $80-100 every 2-3 months. You get virtually a free set of brakes with the savings every 2 months or a free set of tires every year. Great video though.
@@NigelDRealest I can promise you there's no simpler thing with more benefits you can do to your car. The bolt to release the oil should be hand tightened not too tight. I've seen shops not adhere to this by being in a hurry etc which can cause damage to the bolt, oil pan, engine (Just ran into this last week with the GFs car). Bc it can take some time, declaring who the responsible party is could be a wild goose chase. Then we fit the bill. If you have or know someone with a older car not being used, disabled, you can practice on that car. Greatly beneficial.
He drives at 3-4K rpm all the time of course your burning gas when your not going fast just leave it in auto my man I have an ss pushing 540 wheel and I daily it and my gas a month doesn’t pass 150
2010 Camaro SS. 25 cents a mile including premium gas, Michelin tires and maintenance. Car washes not included. Probably 30-40 cents a mile if you account for the 20k mile air cleaner, 50k mile trans flush and diff oil change, 100k mile O2 sensors, radiator and brake flush etc.
If you get it brand new off the lot then you don’t need to worry about maintenances on the car, got a 2020 convertible SS and I don’t have to pay for any maintenance whatsoever. Only $751 car payments and insurance is $257 and obviously the gas every week around $40-$50.
It’s good to see my fellow black people be successful in life. As a young black man I ask you to stay safe throughout these troubling times especially with our racial equality issues within our police. I’m loving the car! Stay safe and god bless man ✊🏿
Hey not to get political, but check statistics on police shootings of unarmed people. I’m not saying that there doesn’t need to be reform, but don’t be afraid of the police Yooi Yuhi. Your everyday choices puts you into positions of having interactions with police not the color of your skin. (Not saying there aren’t crappy cops)
Just a suggestion for people that live in colder climates they’ll probably have to buy winter tires I live in Texas so it’s not much of an issue for me but just something to think about
Very true, I live in Chicago burb and own 2SS 2018. I had to get a separate winter set of wheels for $2,300. Got them in 18 inch configuration. Works well, because I do daily drive my Camaro in winter.
Just FYI, I think the safe driver discount is a gimmick. I am 46yrs old, PERFECT driving record. I had a parking ticket in 2012. Have been with USAA for over 20yrs.. and for full coverage on a 10yr old car (2013 SS) I pay $178/mo. When I ask about the good driver discount they tell me that's included. It's like when you see something for $100 in an ad and next to it they have a $200 price with a slash through it to make it look like you are getting $100 off using them. They create their own price to make a discount look like a discount... I should have the best rates of anyone I know for about any car I want to drive....and I keep hearing people pay around the same regardless of record. I live in Oklahoma....
I have a 2018 2SS convertible, redline edition, bought it in June 2020 with 9k miles for $32k, 2.79% financing through my credit union and my full coverage insurance is $550 every 6 months, I live in Hawaii. Hope this info helps someone.
My dream car bro since a kid and i gotta make it happen F it 🤷🏾♂️😂😂 this year maybe. That part when you said every smile is worth every penny of gas 💯
PT Cruiser Loser... Just joking man I couldn’t resist I’ve been listening to rap music all day so my brain is stuck in rhythmic loop right now. You’re driving something special don’t sell it
I have a 2016 2ss Pay 432 a for car payment and 350$ for insurance ( since I’m 19 ) and waste around 40-50$ a week for gas and around 900$-1000$ for 4 set of tires once a year . Oil change is about 70-80$ (changing your own oil saves money ) . Brakes and rotors vary depending on quality. I bought a whole set of power stop rotors and brake pads for around 500$-600$ no quite sure . This car is a little pricey to maintain but totally worth it .
Yeah man insurance young eats you I’m 19 I pay 622 monthly for a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 and 200 a month insurance thanks to my parents and I spend around the same as you lol on everything so I guess everything is pretty expensive so everybody just get what vehicle you like
I have a 2014 1LT Camaro (3.6L V6). I just did my oil change a few weeks ago. Cost me $30 and some time. Also got peace of mind knowing that it was done right.
Nice video man I really appreciate you talking about your car payments and everything. I own a 2011 bmw m3 and man it's been really expensive to maintain tbh but I just can't get rid of it every time I'm on the edge of selling it I jump in and drive it and I instantly regret the decision. I'm barely 22 years old and well I did buy the car cash I really busted my ass off to save 26k to buy it and well It did him my when I saw my bank account went from 28k to 2k but aye we all make mistakes it's just part of growing up. Keep on driving your car man and will be waiting for you to upload a new video
I got a 1LT (not to be confused with the LT1)which I CAN THEORETICALLY "afford" if I want to end up like my man in the video (no offense). All my savings will to go down the toilet. I traded in a 15 Optima Turbo because even if you put a tune on a fwd "sport" sedan all of the power is down low and it was basically a burn out machine that couldn't put the power down, and the turbo worries: OMG that's $4000 to replace. So when I drove my 2020 Riverside Blue 3.6 6 speed manual and felt that 5.1 to 60 and Car and Driver got 13.8 @ 103 mph in the quarter mile. It blew the Optima away. My payment is $335 a month with 2.5% financing with $92 with Geico. I do not drive much but when I "pick up" a hot lap on the beltway maaaaan- there are cars that are faster but 7200 RPM in a 6 cyl with 335 hp (maybe 340 with the K&N intake but I like the growl! (I am 50 years young) I use K&N filters only. This time I used their kit...but only because it is sealed. I HATE cheap "hot air" intakes in cars that actually make less power and pick up more dirt in the filter. Stick to an OEM sealed layout. 👌 Anyway, I have power seats, cruise, climate control, remote start, Cool stuff like ability to set a "speed limit exceeded" alert in the menu at 69mph...and it did come with a HUD system.. Stabilitrac, but no bose so I added a 12" powered Pioneer SEALED sub for that extra thump, tinted the windows, bought a Chevy Brembo kit (4 piston front and rear) and the best deal ever: $150 for an RS/SS style bolt on spoiler with another camera on the rear view mirror. basically. So...I spent $26,500 on the car and another $1200 for "the look"...20" stock gloss black rims with the stock tires off a wrecked 2019. $500. Look I have great credit BECAUSE I hunt for deals. I can't figure out how to add an HD picture of my car, but after adding $30 Torque Ceramic coating it's so shiny and believe me...340 hp is plenty if you want no tickets since 2014. I have had this car at savage speeds, and I can tell you, the rebuilt Chevy brembos are the best investment ever. Stock brakes on the 3.6 SUCK if you want to play SAFELY. -Chris
I dontthink it aas a good idea for you to get the extended warranty because its known in dealerships that they will determine if your problem should be theirs and you know that they want to pay as little as possible and help you as little as possible. So your convenience when their's a problem is in their mercy which most likely they will lack any
@Doug E Doug even thats not enough sometimes. Some cars just have horrible quality no matter how well u take care of it. U might do the regular matainence but u can't control poorly welded wiring, or poor engineering if some electronics or poor paint quality
Not to be harsh, but the owner of this car got to different tire brands from the front to the back. Tires have a different handling characteristic, and I'm not understanding why this was done.
I bought an ‘18 1SS in March 2020 with 16k on the clock. Assuming they were the original set, at around 30k I showed up at the dealer to purchase a new set. I presumed it was implied that the SA order me a new set of OEM. Long story short, I show up to the dealer 2 days later to have them installed and after they handed me my keys I immediately noticed they were a different tire but OEM Brand. I thought, WTH who cares they’re obviously better? I get home and inspect them a few minutes later and I see that not only are they not OEM tires, the front set didn’t match the rear. I sent a 😤 off email to the service manager and received a call 20 Minutes later apologizing for the mixup and offering to replace them FOC(Damn Right). It was a Friday and he quoted me a resolve by time frame of the following Tuesday and after a week passed I sicced my credit card company on their asses and they fixed that shit real quick. Could’ve been a dealer mixup. My uncle bought a ‘16 SS in ‘18 with 30k on the clock and his car had mix matched tires on it when he took delivery. Those cars are expensive and I plan to have mine at least 3 years so when I bought mine 7 months ago, I specifically wanted low mileage stock, OEM everything.
I saw you was a shell gas station what kind of gas this car uses do you use v-power or the one in the middle. I think I will be getting the 2021 Chevy Camaro 2ss but I think I am going to work on my credit first so that my insurance can be cheap and. I am going to pay most of the car off. But I am still going to do payments every month so I can build that credit score up.
Great video. That car is a beauty and beast. I have a black 5th gen. Love it as much as you love yours. The watch on your wrist is nice too. What's tha make?
I have a white 2SS , The fuel consumption is softened by the ability to run on 4 cylinder, people saying he is pushing the car hard ahaha trust me he’s not
he said his insurance is 200 a month and thats with an expensive new car under warranty and without without safe driver, for me being 21 with safe driver and everything i could do for cheaper insurance with 5 years of driving with nothing and my coverage is still higher with a 2012 beater malibu
It's technically my 2nd car, but I got my 2017 almost two years ago, just turned 25 and sure it has its set backs like no back seats (let's be real) and smaller trunk but it's been a reliable car good gas milage (untill I get it tuned and eco removed) biggest cost for me is my payments due to no credit at the time. (I was paying almost 1k a month with insurance for the car now way less) I think it was worth it
The visibility is pretty bad but it’s something you get used to fairly quickly. Back seats are pretty much useless for anyone who isn’t a kid. Trunk space is decent but it’s still a great car. Very comfortable to drive, and any 6th Gen Camaro looks fantastic. The interior isn’t anything special, but it looks more modern than the Mustang. I think you should be good id you decide to go with a Camaro. One thing to note though, if it’s your first car, and it’s a newer Camaro, your insurance is going to be decently high.
I HAVE A CAMARO ZL1 NOW GUYS! Check out the latest videos on my channel: www.youtube.com/@NigelDRealest

How many miles your car has on it

Thanks for sharing too! And yeah, I don't think some others realized how serious it was when I talked about how much I drive lol. It is really bad actually and I am looking to cut down.
[TH-camr] Nigel D Realest but $350 on gas is Just crazy bro😂
180 for 6 months?
I have a 2009 impala and my oil change is a lil over 70 so that wouldn’t make a diff
I just recently got my 2016 2SS 2 months ago with 21,000 miles on it. I pay $392 a month for the car and $185 for the insurance. I’m also 21.
That’s not bad
wtf o.o
How’s the insurance so low?

Im a Mustang channel. Stopped by to check out your page and liked what I saw. You got a new sub 😎. Keep it up!
Thank you! You're more than welcomed!
Appreciate the input, have a 2016 camaro 2SS. Was fortunate enough to pay it all cash so no monthly payments & insurance is 422 every 6 months. Maintenance has been normal, have owned it for 2 & a half years & nothing bad so far but now looking at ZL1s
If you don’t mind me asking who you insurance with the said his is 200.00 and you yours 422 why is it so high.
Divine Prosperity7 hey what’s up, no I think you misunderstood, I pay 422 every 6 months, it comes out to 70 a month for full coverage. I have 21st century. Just gotta look around for the best insurance. I know people paying like 200 a month for Nissan Sentras.
Thank you for this video! Recently I’ve become really interested in the camaro 2SS and this was super informative. My credit is exceptional so I don’t think my APR would be high and my driving record is clean so I don’t think I’d be paying too much in insurance.Also I want to put at least 10k down when I sign. 12.5k max lol
That’s a shit ton of money down on a car

@@OP_-pk9hm says the one that thinks saving 30k is hard 😆 bozo
@@kujozz3949 don’t take my opinion for it. Look up the average savings account for a 20-30 year old. Unless you got massive support from mommy and daddy, or you live in some boring town where rent/mortgage is $1000 a month with no kids, then yes 30k is a lot.
Now imagine you saved that much money and you decide to put it in a car that only takes premium with high gas prices. Imagine using that as your down payment instead of a home when it was record low interest rates… yea, smart.
I make 105k, rent $2400 monthly, no kids, and zero college debt and even then 30k would take me a while. You have to structure your budget too. It shouldn’t go all into savings. Not sure how that makes me a bozo lol

Great cost vLog, also don't forget car registration yearly which very high also
I just picked up my 2019 2ss 1LE last week, I can't stop driving it 😆but damn, they do love to drink!! I'm averaging 13.2mpg right now, but almost all of my driving is short trips, and i've been using a very heavy foot hahaha
Lol, I’ve driven mine 26k in 7 months. 2 of those trips were across country but I can attest to the fact that they drive amazingly. I want a Corvette Gran Sport next; ZL1 & ZO6 are out of my price range but I can imagine they drive even better than a dam SS 😉

@@slimp9944 They started offering the 2SS 1LE as of the 2018 production models. Being in Canada and driving mine throughout the winter (i've been blasted by many people online for this already lol), the 2ss is such a nice package to have (heated steering wheel/seats)

Definitely cheaper to change the oil yourself. Can do it for about half the cost and it's really easy to do.
i have a 2019 ss all black with recaro seats in it. i like to play with with but from south dakota i do a lot of long distance driving so i am averaging about 23.5 mpg so not too bad. love your video keep it and yes smiles per gallon when you hit the gas it is awesome
Appreciate the insight ! Learned a lot about whether it’s worth the purchase
So, what do you think?
I came upon your vid cause I was searching more into 2ss. After your review I can officially say I will be able to afford my 2ss. It will be my first car and it will be 2022 so payments might be a bit high but I already spend a lot on my beater car. I spend around 450-480 a month on gas. Insurance will be around 200 as well but it definitely would be worth it.
I really like how we see your face in the mirror while you drive. Cool car bro !

Tires, shocks, gas, oil changes, don’t forget to change the transmission fluid every 25k/30k miles. Roads are rough out here.
New sub brotha! You have a sick camaro and I recently became a Maro lover. Alot and I mean a lot of people are driving mopar here in Indianapolis and I wanted to change it up and do something different, so I decided to become a Camaro lover and found my new love ❤️. Well stay safe and bless!
Nice car. I will say $100 for an oil change is ridiculous. Synthetic oil costs $2-5 for (5-7 quarts) more than conventional and involves the same process. With these beautiful cars I suggest looking at doing it yourself for $24-30 vs paying $80-100 every 2-3 months. You get virtually a free set of brakes with the savings every 2 months or a free set of tires every year. Great video though.
You are right. Truth is, I just don't trust myself enough to do it for now (even if it's easy). I would like to at some point though.
@@NigelDRealest I can promise you there's no simpler thing with more benefits you can do to your car. The bolt to release the oil should be hand tightened not too tight. I've seen shops not adhere to this by being in a hurry etc which can cause damage to the bolt, oil pan, engine (Just ran into this last week with the GFs car). Bc it can take some time, declaring who the responsible party is could be a wild goose chase. Then we fit the bill. If you have or know someone with a older car not being used, disabled, you can practice on that car. Greatly beneficial.
He drives at 3-4K rpm all the time of course your burning gas when your not going fast just leave it in auto my man I have an ss pushing 540 wheel and I daily it and my gas a month doesn’t pass 150
Thank you for giving much more realistic estimates. This dude kinda wastes his gass if i understand correctly.
You are a cool guy. Live your life to the fullest bud!
2010 Camaro SS. 25 cents a mile including premium gas, Michelin tires and maintenance. Car washes not included. Probably 30-40 cents a mile if you account for the 20k mile air cleaner, 50k mile trans flush and diff oil change, 100k mile O2 sensors, radiator and brake flush etc.
If you get it brand new off the lot then you don’t need to worry about maintenances on the car, got a 2020 convertible SS and I don’t have to pay for any maintenance whatsoever. Only $751 car payments and insurance is $257 and obviously the gas every week around $40-$50.

Just FYI, I think the safe driver discount is a gimmick. I am 46yrs old, PERFECT driving record. I had a parking ticket in 2012. Have been with USAA for over 20yrs.. and for full coverage on a 10yr old car (2013 SS) I pay $178/mo. When I ask about the good driver discount they tell me that's included. It's like when you see something for $100 in an ad and next to it they have a $200 price with a slash through it to make it look like you are getting $100 off using them. They create their own price to make a discount look like a discount... I should have the best rates of anyone I know for about any car I want to drive....and I keep hearing people pay around the same regardless of record. I live in Oklahoma....

We both pay the same monthly on 4.5 interest no down. My insurance is $240 my my 2ss and 2013 Chevrolet Cruz together full coverage with Allstate
I think AllState didn't even give me a chance when I applied lol
consider leasing the vehicle.
you monthly payment will be cut in half.
and after your lease is up you can decide then if you want to buy it.
better to just wait and get a used one wait for depreciation to hit

Oil change is about 70-80$ (changing your own oil saves money ) . Brakes and rotors vary depending on quality. I bought a whole set of power stop rotors and brake pads for around 500$-600$ no quite sure . This car is a little pricey to maintain but totally worth it .

Nice video man I really appreciate you talking about your car payments and everything. I own a 2011 bmw m3 and man it's been really expensive to maintain tbh but I just can't get rid of it every time I'm on the edge of selling it I jump in and drive it and I instantly regret the decision.

I got a 1LT (not to be confused with the LT1)which I CAN THEORETICALLY "afford" if I want to end up like my man in the video (no offense). All my savings will to go down the toilet. I traded in a 15 Optima Turbo because even if you put a tune on a fwd "sport" sedan all of the power is down low and it was basically a burn out machine that couldn't put the power down, and the turbo worries: OMG that's $4000 to replace. So when I drove my 2020 Riverside Blue 3.6 6 speed manual and felt that 5.1 to 60 and Car and Driver got 13.8 @ 103 mph in the quarter mile. It blew the Optima away. My payment is $335 a month with 2.5% financing with $92 with Geico. I do not drive much but when I "pick up" a hot lap on the beltway maaaaan- there are cars that are faster but 7200 RPM in a 6 cyl with 335 hp (maybe 340 with the K&N intake but I like the growl! (I am 50 years young) I use K&N filters only. This time I used their kit...but only because it is sealed. I HATE cheap "hot air" intakes in cars that actually make less power and pick up more dirt in the filter. Stick to an OEM sealed layout. 👌
Anyway, I have power seats, cruise, climate control, remote start, Cool stuff like ability to set a "speed limit exceeded" alert in the menu at 69mph...and it did come with a HUD system.. Stabilitrac, but no bose so I added a 12" powered Pioneer SEALED sub for that extra thump, tinted the windows, bought a Chevy Brembo kit (4 piston front and rear) and the best deal ever: $150 for an RS/SS style bolt on spoiler with another camera on the rear view mirror. basically. So...I spent $26,500 on the car and another $1200 for "the look"...20" stock gloss black rims with the stock tires off a wrecked 2019. $500. Look I have great credit BECAUSE I hunt for deals. I can't figure out how to add an HD picture of my car, but after adding $30 Torque Ceramic coating it's so shiny and believe me...340 hp is plenty if you want no tickets since 2014. I have had this car at savage speeds, and I can tell you, the rebuilt Chevy brembos are the best investment ever. Stock brakes on the 3.6 SUCK if you want to play SAFELY.

Yo anyone read the disclaimer😂😂 just got a new sub for that
LMAOOO. Appreciate you man 👊😂
I dontthink it aas a good idea for you to get the extended warranty because its known in dealerships that they will determine if your problem should be theirs and you know that they want to pay as little as possible and help you as little as possible. So your convenience when their's a problem is in their mercy which most likely they will lack any
Take care of your car and you should be good at least until 100k miles
@Doug E Doug even thats not enough sometimes. Some cars just have horrible quality no matter how well u take care of it. U might do the regular matainence but u can't control poorly welded wiring, or poor engineering if some electronics or poor paint quality
Not to be harsh, but the owner of this car got to different tire brands from the front to the back. Tires have a different handling characteristic, and I'm not understanding why this was done.
I bought an ‘18 1SS in March 2020 with 16k on the clock. Assuming they were the original set, at around 30k I showed up at the dealer to purchase a new set. I presumed it was implied that the SA order me a new set of OEM. Long story short, I show up to the dealer 2 days later to have them installed and after they handed me my keys I immediately noticed they were a different tire but OEM Brand. I thought, WTH who cares they’re obviously better?
I get home and inspect them a few minutes later and I see that not only are they not OEM tires, the front set didn’t match the rear. I sent a 😤 off email to the service manager and received a call 20
Minutes later apologizing for the mixup and offering to replace them FOC(Damn Right). It was a Friday and he quoted me a resolve by time frame of the following Tuesday and after a week passed I sicced my credit card company on their asses and they fixed that shit real quick.
Could’ve been a dealer mixup. My uncle bought a ‘16 SS in ‘18 with 30k on the clock and his car had mix matched tires on it when he took delivery. Those cars are expensive and I plan to have mine at least 3 years so when I bought mine 7 months ago, I specifically wanted low mileage stock, OEM everything.
I saw you was a shell gas station what kind of gas this car uses do you use v-power or the one in the middle. I think I will be getting the 2021 Chevy Camaro 2ss but I think I am going to work on my credit first so that my insurance can be cheap and. I am going to pay most of the car off. But I am still going to do payments every month so I can build that credit score up.
V-power (93)
Great video. That car is a beauty and beast. I have a black 5th gen. Love it as much as you love yours. The watch on your wrist is nice too. What's tha make?
Thank you. It's a Citizen watch
Even though it's a Chevy, these Camaros are actually not cheap to maintain! And that's not to mention all the other costs, like he said.

I have a white 2SS , The fuel consumption is softened by the ability to run on 4 cylinder, people saying he is pushing the car hard ahaha trust me he’s not
Sheeeeesh Louisiana our coverage is 500 per month on just insurance even with a great record
he said his insurance is 200 a month and thats with an expensive new car under warranty and without without safe driver, for me being 21 with safe driver and everything i could do for cheaper insurance with 5 years of driving with nothing and my coverage is still higher with a 2012 beater malibu
How much is it to fill up the tank
I'm gonna be getting a new car soon, and I just wanted some input from someone who actually owns one, would you recommend this as a first car?
Same as well
It's technically my 2nd car, but I got my 2017 almost two years ago, just turned 25 and sure it has its set backs like no back seats (let's be real) and smaller trunk but it's been a reliable car good gas milage (untill I get it tuned and eco removed) biggest cost for me is my payments due to no credit at the time. (I was paying almost 1k a month with insurance for the car now way less) I think it was worth it
The visibility is pretty bad but it’s something you get used to fairly quickly. Back seats are pretty much useless for anyone who isn’t a kid. Trunk space is decent but it’s still a great car. Very comfortable to drive, and any 6th Gen Camaro looks fantastic. The interior isn’t anything special, but it looks more modern than the Mustang. I think you should be good id you decide to go with a Camaro. One thing to note though, if it’s your first car, and it’s a newer Camaro, your insurance is going to be decently high.
