Yessir! That’s what I’m saying. Joe tried his best to convince us but just like he said, we all know what you would want this car for at the end of the day! 🤟🏾
@@RaitisRides I do agree that it would look better if it were higher up but I still don't think it looks too bad where it's at. I think it was done that way to get some more airflow because if it were in the grill, that bar in the middle would still be there with no airflow going through it at all. Instead, they put it on the bar to get a little more performance and cooling out of it. By the way, I wasn't saying that you specifically we're hating on it, I just meant that it gets hate in general. In my opinion, it's still a beautiful car and even if people don't like it, it's just a refresh, not a 7th gen! Only have to deal with it for a couple years lol
just got a 2ss and it looks much better in person, my issues with the 2019s is the RS and lower models, the front end on those looks silly, SS front end looks extremely aggressive in person
I like how you actually have an opinion with every area of the car. A lot of people just gloss over things that they dislike. I’m in the market for a muscle car and you bring a ton of good points for comparison here. 👍🏻
Another great Camaro review, Joe! After approximately 2 weeks of daily driving my 2018 Camaro SS, I became familiar and comfortable with the vehicle's limited visibility. After 15 months of ownership, I still love this vehicle---it may be the first vehicle that I actually keep for a very long time!
If you have not establish credit yet I highly recommend getting a credit card. Even if you're not making a lot of money 5 years from now if you have established credit and save some money it's doable. Making payments on your credit card on time is a key factor in establishing credit. I'm learning the hard way. 💯
Beware of Ford Mustang shills. Don’t fall for it. I own this car, and it looks badass at night with the headlights lit up. I have to be honest, though. They did go with a more futuristic robotic look, rather than a classic 90’s kind of style. So, do you like the new technological modern era look, or not? It’s all about personal taste. I’m a DJ, and I like heavy metal, so I like it. Do I think they should have a front end option for future models of the SS? Absolutely, yes!
Once again, great vid. Would like to have seen the car in the air on a rack so we can see better how the car is constructed and what the suspension is made of. I'm driving one of these cars now and for me the most impressive thing about it is the steering. The motor is awesome, it pulls hard in just about any range and makes passing faster and safer. The brakes are incredible, it's the best extension between my mind and a machine I have ever felt, there is no compromise, no double pumping, no feathering incase of lockup, just push the brakes, simple. While driving to Seattle Washington from Eugene Oregon I noticed that when I steered from lane to lane or around corners. IfI one of my ligaments in my arms as much as twitched the car immediately obeyed. Finally, I drive fo a living and have done so nearly 35 years. I have traveled countless miles on as many routes and terrains as one can imagine and I have never had as great an experience as handling, driving and enjoying an American vehicle as I have with the 2019 Camaro. 😎
I agree with your points on the placement of the SS badging. I also always thought it was strange that the SS badge on the rear is very small and on the bumper instead of the trunk. Also , you’re right that the car would look cooler with an SS badge on the side front fender to let people know it’s an SS. The mustang GT has the 5.0 badge on the side and it makes it look intimidating.
Another great video! I’ve had 4 mustangs all V8’s including a 13 Boss ... I now own a 18 SS/1LE - just love it! If I were to compare, engine wise it’s most like the boss, but WAY better composed handling. Again, props Raiti 👍
Awesome car and presentation, Joe. The car looks fine to me just as it is, wouldn't change a thing. For those of us who can't afford the vette, this is the next best thing. two thumbs up, Joe, keep em' comin', thanks.
Everything looks good in black. Looks good in red too but I don't think I would love anything red. I would get it silver or blue though. The blue with the red SS badge would look nice I think. I mean when you out rims on it and all that it changes everything.
Yeah and it's because you can see the ugliness of the front bumper. The black blends with the black. Lol. You can always buy a 2019+ and switch bumpers - no problem
That comment you made at the end about looking back at it really rings true for me. I will often sit on the front porch and look at my truck. It's my dream truck and engine. Simply looking at it is enough for me.
I have a 2018 Camaro SS in nightfall gray metallic. I took off the fender flag and replaced it with a black SS. I changed all the SS badges to black as well as the Chevy emblems. I got the blackout taillights and 3rd brake light. The wheels are black as well as the lug nuts.Those little modifications made a world of different.Nice video and review.✊
I think it's nice looking but I think chevy has had too many engine problems snd heard that the ford 302 coyote is a much better and built to out perform the 6.2 ,392 so i will except a ford over the other, Ive raced and beat both in my mustang gt and isn't mustang cheaper and better.
Totally dig the heads up display ! It feels very futuristic. Love the self dimming side mirrors and moon roof option wish Mustang had that as well. This thing runs and sounds really good. Aesthetically I like the door panels better on the Camaro, But I like the EVERYTHING ELSE better on the Mustang. Great review , Right on zonks..
Love this channel, you got a real great personality and never stop thanking your camera person! They seem to be very under appreciated so it’s a humble thing that you always do that I noticed. Great review as always. I reckon if you came to Australian and tried our HSV vehicles, such as the maloo and the gtsr, you are the type of guy that would appreciate these fine works of art. Have a good day!
Hi Time! That is really wonderful of you to say! I can't do this alone, so I have to show my appreciation! I am hoping to make it to Australia one of these days! Thank you so much for taking the time to say such wonderful things!
I own a 2019 2SS convertible, black with white racing stripes. I love this car, have had no issues. Sounds as good as it looks. I recommend getting one !
Watched a few of your videos and i got the 19 2ss in the summit white. I love the look. I came from a Q50 and man I’m very very happy i did! I know must hate the look, but ever kid i have passed gives me a thumbs up and my daughter loves this more than the Infiniti! Good review and your were honest with your driving experience.
Black is the only color the front end looks alright... The red accent on the rims looks like cheap after market stuff you see on riced out Civics. I just don't understand why Chevy can't get the Camaro right
I picked up my Riverside blue a week and a half ago. Had the wheels powder coated gloss black, hood wrapped in satin black all silver and chrome on the outside including the bow tie and the Chevy emblem on the rear end were blacked out. Absolutely incredible looking. Blacking out the chrome bow tie turns the front end into beautiful. PS. Love your performance numbers. Much better than I’ve seen online. I mean 0-60 and 1/4. Wow. Nice.
Thanks for another awesome review and test drive, Joe! I've actually got my eye on a 2019 SS in the future and this review further piqued my interest. I like how you incorporated an exhaust blip and test drive into the review; as it showed off the awesome sound - one of the reasons why I want one so much! 😁 Good job! 👍
I saw one of these recently in a deep blue colour, and thought it looked fantastic! It sounded absolutely terrific too, just idling. The guy was waiting to make a left turn, and I was walking by to struck up a conversation through his open window to tell him how genuinely surprised I was about how great it looked. He said he'd been enjoying the heck out of it. Really nice car, especially to see it and hear it in person. It made me consider one for myself, which is amazing considering Chevy is probably at the very bottom of my respect list in terms of auto companies!
Mannnnn I love the new look different is always good & that heads up display is dope definitely 10spd I want & that flowtie looks even better in person OMG!! 😍😍 appreciate the experience & ride & the backfiring sounded like music to me.
Great review, I ordered the ‘19 2SS in Black last week... Prefer the 1LE and I love the stick, but got the 10Auto for daily driving... One thing you missed, the video rearview mirror... Makes the rear visibility livable... Did that car have magnetic ride? Really improves the ride... Great reviews - you are a class act...!
No magnetic ride in this one, but I have driven other vehicles with it and know exactly how great it is! I really appreciate you taking the time to say that! Thank you for your support! PS Congrats on your new SS!
I have the rearview mirror camera which really gives you bigger view of what's going on behind you. It's adjustable too. The only thing is requires you to refocus your eyes when going from the HUD to rearview.
Super honest review Joe. I appreciate all cars for whatever it is that they might do well. Clearly your approach to this car passion thing incorporates this sentiment. That’s what makes your reviews so good. Since the Camaro returned, I’ve tried so hard to love the way it looks because I’ve felt like I would really enjoy the driving experience. Closest I could come would be the ZL1 specifically because the front looks aggressive to me. But walk around the rest of the car and the excitement fizzles out. In the end you want to own a car with no “zonks” to haunt you. I know plenty of car people love the Camaro - and they should - it’s gotta be full of fun to rip it around. For me - as you said in so many words - I feel like whatever angle I look at it from, I’m just wanting more - it’s just not quite right. Thnx Joe
🇺🇸 Raiti's I just wanna say you are the best at this Sir. I don't expect to hear back on my comments because I know you sometimes have thousands. But you usually always comment back and that's so cool, it shows you care and have passion. I know you care because i ask questions and you answer them not just with some kind of insignia. Anyway Brother God bless to you and ur's 👍👍👍
I currently own a 2015 2SS Camaro, I'm really happy with it. But honestly I'm not seeing a problem with this car. That LT 1V8 sounds amazing, it goes like a rocket. Are people really that shallow that they are concerned about the shape of the tail lights?
Credit to Tom ,great angle shots make this car look better on video than in person. i 'm getting used to the look but just hard to associate it with the camaro badges and history of previous styling. Stand alone its ok but put some competition next to it thats where it ...
Bought the 2019, and love it. Was looking at the 10`5, 2016 corvettes, but after I drove the 10 speed, bought the convertible SS, best car Ive bought. Its civil until you drop the pedal, and then feels incredible!
Very good review. At least you got the new look bit out of the way early and got into the refinement of the mechanicals. As an owner of a 2019 2SS, I have no issues with the car in any way whatsoever. I like the new look, love the cabin and love the performance.
Got my 2019 2SS in Riverside Blue about 90 days ago. Looked at Challenger, Mustang, Corvette, then settled on buying Camaro SS. I’ve owned many Fords (including a Mustang), and Chevys (including a C6 Vette) so I’m not a snob about the whole Chevy vs. Ford B.S. I beg to differ on the roominess. I’m 6’ 4”+, and I do not fit in the C7 Vette even though I had plenty of room in my C6. That’s what pushed me to a showdown between the Mustang, and the Camaro. The deciding factors for me (not the rest of you haters) was that the Mustang looked kinda bulbous on the front hood, and was not as aggressive looking as the Camaro, the Camaro has more low end grunt for coming off the line, and it handles better. Bottom line is that both cars are awesome, but I just bonded with the Camaro right away. Going back to your headroom comment, while it’s nice to have a sun roof, I’ve generally found that it’s not a good option for tall people because the mechanics of it always eats up headroom vs a solid top coupe or thinner convertible top. That said, one of the other things not mentioned was the stereo in this baby. This is the only stock audio system I’ve ever owned that exceeds my need for more volume. I play in a rock band, and this clear thumping power would compete straight up with my Mesa Boogie. Crank a little Sevendust, and you’ll know what I mean. Lastly, yes, I look back at my SS as I walk away. I have received much unsolicited praise on the great looks as I go around town. “Aggressive” and “Bad Ass” are the two most common shout outs. It may not be everyone’s cup a tea, but I’m not trying to make everyone else as happy as I am! Thanks for showcasing the real fun of this hot rod, acceleration, handling, and of course, the cracking exhausts on deceleration. Brings a smile to my face every time. Sorry for the long comment.
I didn't much care where the bow tie was located on the front until you put your hand over it and it looked instantly better. I think these external flaws are easy to overcome on the after market especially if that drive is as good as you made it out to be.
Awesome video Joe and Tom!! I died laughing when you said if you buy this car for the trunk leave a comment and I wanna meet you in person lol. Great as usual you guys are!!
I test drove a '19 1SS auto in shadow gray. It's a freakin' beast. Looked great to me and bought it. No regrets at all. Visibility doesn't bother me at all.
Dunno why people would hate the refresh. The car was a beautiful concept in 2010, and I have been following closely ever since. After 2010, they made some mistakes in the update, but this 2019 brings it back closer to what a Camaro looks like, and that's the whole point. I will admit that the car looks best in black for the SS model, otherwise the "wings" on the front fascia stick out to the eye. Other than that, they did a great job.
103 mph. 🤣 This is the problem with the LT1, you just don’t want to get out of the throttle. The top of 3rd in a C7 Vette I had was arrest and impound territory, but it’s all but impossible to stay off of that loud pedal. Gets super-frustrating after a while. Thanks for that pull, though. Sounds fantastic!
I have an 18 Mustang GT with the engine tick and I’m in the thick of dealing with Ford to try to repair the car or I’m hopeful that I’ll eventually qualify for a buy back if I can meet my state’s lemon law. I tell you what. After dealing with the Mustang, the aesthetics of the 19 Camaro is growing on me more and more every day. Funny what happens when your dream car turns out to be a terd.
Been seriously considering a 1LE for a while now... I rented an auto SS on leave back in 2019 and it was a beast. 1LE gives me everything I want and some. I'm just a die hard tuner fan, so it's hard for me to switch :d
I have this car and the car is beautiful and performs well and everyone that sees the vehicle compliments it. Art is subjective so some like some don't. I also got a great deal on the car. Go it for a little under 40.
I was never completely sold on the new camaro look, even the ZL1 I found it to be too blocky, but this SS is nice! I don't have the same complaints as he does, I think it looks pretty sick
To be honest, I am truly a Ford guy and I always will be in my heart. However, I have been disappointed with how the Ford brand is not doing enough with the Mustang which is the car that I love. Wish that they would bring back the older style as opposed to the newer body styles. At the moment, I am currently looking into purchasing a 2019 Chevy Camaro and I have built and priced the vehicle matching my personality. The Mosaic Black, Spider Red striping for the hood of the vehicle, red knee padding for the interior, and black wheels. Hopefully, it will put the smile back on my face like the Mustang would. I have also considered applying the Cat-Back Exhaust System; however, does anyone know how well it operates? Haha!
Solid video. I recently traded my ‘16 RS for an orange crush ‘19 1SS with the 10 speed auto and dual mode exhaust and can’t get enough of it. Plenty of compliments driving it around town. Although I did have Chevy paint match my flowtie with the bumper to get rid of the chrome nose 🤷🏻♂️. Anyways, thumbs up on the video and I hope the look grows on you more because this refresh was a home run in my opinion 👌
I am a mustang fan tell It was time to buy a car i tried both when i test drove the Camaro I had tears in my eyes 2 days later I bought it there is so much emotion with Camaro
In 2-3 years when I graduate college, I’ll be picking one of these up! However, I don’t like the front end bow tie placement, but all black makes it look good. Also, I love the taillights.
“if you’re buying a mustang or a camaro for the trunk, leave a comment because I would like to meet you.. in person” 😂😂 great video man
Cameron Sweet hahahahaha!
Yes, lol! That person will be congratulated for being an idiot!
😂😂😂😂😂
Hey as long as you can get at least 1 dead Asian hooker your good lol
Tbh I wouldn't be looking to grab one if i couldn't fit 2 12" subs in the back...turns out you can so all good.
I dont think id ever buy a car just to take it for a spin. If im buying, i driving it until the wheels fall off.
AGREED!
Kevin Harris Sr 💯😈
Yessir! That’s what I’m saying. Joe tried his best to convince us but just like he said, we all know what you would want this car for at the end of the day! 🤟🏾
@J B It's a fantastic car!
I don't understand the hate the refresh gets, it still looks mean as hell in my opinion. Especially in black.
It looks better in black. It's where they put the BOWTIE in the front area of the car. It's was too low.
@@RaitisRides I do agree that it would look better if it were higher up but I still don't think it looks too bad where it's at. I think it was done that way to get some more airflow because if it were in the grill, that bar in the middle would still be there with no airflow going through it at all.

I just bought a 2SS, I guess that means I like it! LOL
It does look good in all black!
just got a 2ss and it looks much better in person, my issues with the 2019s is the RS and lower models, the front end on those looks silly, SS front end looks extremely aggressive in person
Damn, that 2019 SS blacked out looks so crazy!! I'm liking it
I totally agree with you! I am so glad that you liked this one!
Mark Zee summit white is gorgeous!!
Love the 2019 SS. Very aggressive looking. Love the exhaust note. I’d be proud to own one.
I am so glad that you liked this one!
Test drove one and I like it a lot surely picking it up in the near month or 2
I like how you actually have an opinion with every area of the car. A lot of people just gloss over things that they dislike. I’m in the market for a muscle car and you bring a ton of good points for comparison here. 👍🏻

Hi Daniel! Thank you so much for sharing input from your experience! I am so glad that you are enjoying her! Thanks for watching!

im 19 and honestly this is my goal at least 5 years from now...i literally smiled when i heard the gurgles ❤️😂

bro sameeeee . as soon as I graduate college im getting one .
Well i'm basically you 5 years from now, almost. im 23 and picking up my 19 2SS this tuesday!
Bro facts lmao
I’m hoping to get mine in 2 years after I graduate from college

I love the fact that you actually keep it real in your reviews.
Thank you

@@RaitisRides thanks lol, I ended up buying this car

I own an A10 SS. It’s freaking insanely good. Feels like a super car and I paid low $30ks. Unreal bang for the buck. Visibility is rarely an issue.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one
Totally dig the heads up display ! It feels very futuristic. Love the self dimming side mirrors and moon roof option wish Mustang had that as well. This thing runs and sounds really good.

Looks great in black, and when they (hopefully) change the bow tie placement next year it’s gonna be even better.
X S looks great in black because it hides the front end styling
The black really helps!
AGREED, except that silver flow-tie!
I own a 2019 2SS convertible, black with white racing stripes. I love this car, have had no issues. Sounds as good as it looks. I recommend getting one !
So much better in all black! I’m glad they didn’t change the ZL-1. Best looking muscle car.
I totally agree with you!
just like Ford didnt change the appearance of the GT350. You do not mess with perfection.

I am so glad that you liked this one! I really appreciate you watching!
The only i dislike about it is the Chevy badge on the middle it'll look better if it was on the top grill.
AGREED! I really don't know what they were thinking!
Compared to the new 2020 Camaro SS I think the 2019 looks better.
I've had my 17' SS 6 speed for 4 years and 43k miles. There is no visibility issue.
My dream car

No magnetic ride in this one, but I have driven other vehicles with it and know exactly how great it is! I really appreciate you taking the time to say that! Thank you for your support!
PS Congrats on your new SS!
Wait can u get a ss l1e in auto?
I have the rearview mirror camera which really gives you bigger view of what's going on behind you. It's adjustable too. The only thing is requires you to refocus your eyes when going from the HUD to rearview.
And again the face will be refreshed for ‘20 because the reaction has been so negative by the public.
Super honest review Joe. I appreciate all cars for whatever it is that they might do well. Clearly your approach to this car passion thing incorporates this sentiment. That’s what makes your reviews so good. Since the Camaro returned, I’ve tried so hard to love the way it looks because I’ve felt like I would really enjoy the driving experience. Closest I could come would be the ZL1 specifically because the front looks aggressive to me. But walk around the rest of the car and the excitement fizzles out. In the end you want to own a car with no “zonks” to haunt you. I know plenty of car people love the Camaro - and they should - it’s gotta be full of fun to rip it around. For me - as you said in so many words - I feel like whatever angle I look at it from, I’m just wanting more - it’s just not quite right. Thnx Joe
Thank you for letting me share it with you! I appreciate your well worded comment and you are so right!
Picking up a leftover 2019 next week. I actually prefer the 2019 over the 2020. I realize that sounds insane to 99% of everyone but to each their own.
No worries, i prefer the '18's over the 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 haha
🇺🇸 Raiti's I just wanna say you are the best at this Sir. I don't expect to hear back on my comments because I know you sometimes have thousands. But you usually always comment back and that's so cool, it shows you care and have passion. I know you care because i ask questions and you answer them not just with some kind of insignia. Anyway Brother God bless to you and ur's 👍👍👍
Hey Marty! You are the man! Thanks for helping to make the channel what it is and I am so glad that you are part of the Raiti's Rides Family!
I currently own a 2015 2SS Camaro, I'm really happy with it. But honestly I'm not seeing a problem with this car. That LT 1V8 sounds amazing, it goes like a rocket. Are people really that shallow that they are concerned about the shape of the tail lights?
I like the wheels. To many wheels today are way over done. These rims are just right.
I am so glad that you like this one.
Huge Mopar fan but I gotta admit this car looks badass in person
In black it is so sinister!
Man you really have the best review I think I ever heard. Thorough and right to the points. Subbed!!!
That is so awesome of you to say! Thank you so much for joining the Raiti's Rides family!
Camaro fan for life !! Pass on Ford or Dodge.
Thanks for you input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
@Oliver H1gh Sky'5 me!
You’re spot on with so many of your gripes and suggestions. Camarillo SS IS A CULTURE!!! GM should label and treat it as such.
Thanks Floyd for taking the tie to say those nice things!
Beautiful American Car! The heck with the haters...#gochevy
It's that dam flow-tie! Very dumb place to put it.
Wrap the flowtie, take it to a body shop and have them put a bow tie on the grill. That’s what I’m going to do with my black 2019 SS.
I love it too, but the headlights and taillights kinda less this up. I guess I can overlook it.
People who have 0 taste and money cry "hater"
I love this in the Riverside Blue, great video, the new rearview mirror camera is an amazing feature
AGREED!
In my opinion as long as you get the 2019 in all black it looks dope!
I’m a HUGE mustang fan, but I think this camera is phenomenal. Everything look great about it.
"I'm married, I have to compromise" lmao xD
Thanks for letting me share the laughs!
Same bro! 😂🤣
Great review man! Very thorough and in depth on points people don’t elaborate on!
Thank you Adam that really means a lot!
Do you typically do some research before reviewing the cars ? Man I love how you thrown in good information always
Papa
Not really! Just pick things up I learned a long the way! Thanks for watching!
As a 2016 2SS owner, The 2019’s are growing on me. Must say
I am so glad that I could bring this one to you!
Credit to Tom ,great angle shots make this car look better on video than in person. i 'm getting used to the look but just hard to associate it with the camaro badges and history of previous styling. Stand alone its ok but put some competition next to it thats where it ...
Thank you for showing Tom some love! The black does well on the car.
My dream muscle car! Awesome job Joe.
Dude good job on this review 💪🏾
Thank you so much for taking the time to say that!
Bought the 2019, and love it. Was looking at the 10`5, 2016 corvettes, but after I drove the 10 speed, bought the convertible SS, best car Ive bought. Its civil until you drop the pedal, and then feels incredible!
I saw one of these irl yesterday. I freakin love it
Thanks for your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Very good review. At least you got the new look bit out of the way early and got into the refinement of the mechanicals. As an owner of a 2019 2SS, I have no issues with the car in any way whatsoever. I like the new look, love the cabin and love the performance.
Thank you Al for saying that! I really appreciate you sharing your input! It is one hell of a performer!
Got my 2019 2SS in Riverside Blue about 90 days ago. Looked at Challenger, Mustang, Corvette, then settled on buying Camaro SS. I’ve owned many Fords (including a Mustang), and Chevys (including a C6 Vette) so I’m not a snob about the whole Chevy vs. Ford B.S. I beg to differ on the roominess. I’m 6’ 4”+, and I do not fit in the C7 Vette even though I had plenty of room in my C6. That’s what pushed me to a showdown between the Mustang, and the Camaro. The deciding factors for me (not the rest of you haters) was that the Mustang looked kinda bulbous on the front hood, and was not as aggressive looking as the Camaro, the Camaro has more low end grunt for coming off the line, and it handles better. Bottom line is that both cars are awesome, but I just bonded with the Camaro right away. Going back to your headroom comment, while it’s nice to have a sun roof, I’ve generally found that it’s not a good option for tall people because the mechanics of it always eats up headroom vs a solid top coupe or thinner convertible top. That said, one of the other things not mentioned was the stereo in this baby. This is the only stock audio system I’ve ever owned that exceeds my need for more volume. I play in a rock band, and this clear thumping power would compete straight up with my Mesa Boogie. Crank a little Sevendust, and you’ll know what I mean. Lastly, yes, I look back at my SS as I walk away. I have received much unsolicited praise on the great looks as I go around town. “Aggressive” and “Bad Ass” are the two most common shout outs. It may not be everyone’s cup a tea, but I’m not trying to make everyone else as happy as I am! Thanks for showcasing the real fun of this hot rod, acceleration, handling, and of course, the cracking exhausts on deceleration. Brings a smile to my face every time. Sorry for the long comment.
Congrats on you new SS! I am so glad that you are getting many smiles per miles! Than you for sharing your input from your ownership experience!
Great, honest review. Saying you just bonded with the car says it all.
Ashen Grey interior option, like my 18 has, brightens up doors, seats, carpet & headliner. Makes all the difference.
That is a very good point Pat!
Thank you so much for the video :-) I have a 2017 50th anniversary 2SS and absolutely love it!!! 🤘
You are so very welcome! That is a great Camaro to have!
I didn't much care where the bow tie was located on the front until you put your hand over it and it looked instantly better. I think these external flaws are easy to overcome on the after market especially if that drive is as good as you made it out to be.
2016-18 Are the best looking camaros
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I have been watching you on my tv you tube love the channel and videos so I just subscribed to your channel. Love it keep up the good work.
Chevy knows how to make them sound good from the factory!
AGREED!
Awesome video Joe and Tom!! I died laughing when you said if you buy this car for the trunk leave a comment and I wanna meet you in person lol. Great as usual you guys are!!
Thanks for catching my little joke! I really appreciate you always watching!
Wish Holden Australia continued making the Chevy SS. 4 door roomy sedan with that engine/transmission would be a better daily!!
I totally agree with you Andrew!
I'm getting a 2019 SS in June 2019. thanks for the video. it's nice.
Congrats Eric! What color do you think you are going to get?
@@RaitisRides orange crush with the 10-speed
Now that sounds like a hot combo!
Eric Martin did u end up getting it?
What a powerful car ! Still looks good!
It has such a nice growl to it!
Are you kidding. Chevy sucks!
I test drove a '19 1SS auto in shadow gray. It's a freakin' beast. Looked great to me and bought it. No regrets at all. Visibility doesn't bother me at all.
I am so glad that you enjoyed that ride!
Congratulations I love mine as well
Chevy needs to give you a consultant fee because you hit it right on the head when you recommended changes to the look
That is really awesome of you to say! I really appreciate you watching!
I think GM made a mean performing car, look the part. If you see a 2019 in your rear view mirror, getting ready to pass you, it's pretty scary.
Dunno why people would hate the refresh. The car was a beautiful concept in 2010, and I have been following closely ever since. After 2010, they made some mistakes in the update, but this 2019 brings it back closer to what a Camaro looks like, and that's the whole point. I will admit that the car looks best in black for the SS model, otherwise the "wings" on the front fascia stick out to the eye. Other than that, they did a great job.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and input! I appreciate you watching!
103 mph. 🤣 This is the problem with the LT1, you just don’t want to get out of the throttle. The top of 3rd in a C7 Vette I had was arrest and impound territory, but it’s all but impossible to stay off of that loud pedal. Gets super-frustrating after a while.
Thanks for that pull, though. Sounds fantastic!
You are so very right Brad! Someone better have a relative that works at the police station!
Loving the channel. Keep the content coming. You are a smart man, Joe. "I am all about compromise, I am married!" LOL
underrated comment lol
I have an 18 Mustang GT with the engine tick and I’m in the thick of dealing with Ford to try to repair the car or I’m hopeful that I’ll eventually qualify for a buy back if I can meet my state’s lemon law. I tell you what. After dealing with the Mustang, the aesthetics of the 19 Camaro is growing on me more and more every day. Funny what happens when your dream car turns out to be a terd.
Man I am so sorry to hear about those issue. The Camaro is one heck of a performer!
Raiti's Rides you and me both. I appreciate it, though. Keep pumping out the great reviews!
I have a 2018 challenger worst decision ever! having problems and dealership keeps saying nothing is wrong with the car hope 2019 camaro is worth it
Isabel g which motor do you have in your challenger?
I'm with you man. I'm waiting to hear back about the buyback for my 2018 Mustang. The front end if that Camaro doesn't look bad especially in black.
I don't think people buy sports cars for the Visibility. I don't think someone would purchase a LAMBORGHINI for the great Visibility.
16:44 we better be going to get ice cream lmao I have 2018 ss convertible I know what you mean
You need to do consulting for Chevy design team. I think you were spot on with your critique of the Camaro. Well done
He hesitated when he said "they love to eat up ..mustangs" lmfao
That was a planned pause! lol
Been seriously considering a 1LE for a while now... I rented an auto SS on leave back in 2019 and it was a beast. 1LE gives me everything I want and some.
I'm just a die hard tuner fan, so it's hard for me to switch :d
Ive groen used to the new look. It's not that bad in person. I imagine it'll look great when the ZL1 and 1LEpackage reach the market.
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Looks good,can’t wait for the 1LE review.
Trust me, neither can I!
I have this car and the car is beautiful and performs well and everyone that sees the vehicle compliments it. Art is subjective so some like some don't. I also got a great deal on the car. Go it for a little under 40.
Thank you so much for sharing your input from you experience! You are so right! Thanks for watching!
You didn't get a 2ss manual for under $40000usd , must be 1ss Manual with cloth trim $6000usd less

I love all your review of Camaro. Thanks Raiti :D 😄
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
@@RaitisRides 😄
I was never completely sold on the new camaro look, even the ZL1 I found it to be too blocky, but this SS is nice! I don't have the same complaints as he does, I think it looks pretty sick
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your insight!
F. Mazz. we aren’t the same this one looks ugly
A little late but great video, can’t wait to see the 2020 vid.
To be honest, I am truly a Ford guy and I always will be in my heart. However, I have been disappointed with how the Ford brand is not doing enough with the Mustang which is the car that I love. Wish that they would bring back the older style as opposed to the newer body styles. At the moment, I am currently looking into purchasing a 2019 Chevy Camaro and I have built and priced the vehicle matching my personality. The Mosaic Black, Spider Red striping for the hood of the vehicle, red knee padding for the interior, and black wheels. Hopefully, it will put the smile back on my face like the Mustang would. I have also considered applying the Cat-Back Exhaust System; however, does anyone know how well it operates? Haha!
It really is a top performer! Thank you for watching!
@@RaitisRides, I honestly hope that it will bring me the joy for my driving experience. Haha! Love fast cars that look amazing.
I totally agree with you Jay!
I love that it's back more to the 2010, but you're tottaly right about what you've issued 👍🏽
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and share your input!
Awesome 👍🏾👍🏾 2019 Chevrolet Camro SS review .
I am so glad that you liked this one!
Solid video. I recently traded my ‘16 RS for an orange crush ‘19 1SS with the 10 speed auto and dual mode exhaust and can’t get enough of it. Plenty of compliments driving it around town. Although I did have Chevy paint match my flowtie with the bumper to get rid of the chrome nose 🤷🏻♂️. Anyways, thumbs up on the video and I hope the look grows on you more because this refresh was a home run in my opinion 👌
Thanks Josh! Congrats on your 2019 SS! That color really pops! I hope she brings you plenty of smiles per miles!
Congrats Josh. I'm thinking crush myself. 2ss. How u liking it so far? Any problems?
I am a mustang fan tell It was time to buy a car i tried both when i test drove the Camaro I had tears in my eyes 2 days later I bought it there is so much emotion with Camaro
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
In 2-3 years when I graduate college, I’ll be picking one of these up! However, I don’t like the front end bow tie placement, but all black makes it look good. Also, I love the taillights.
Congrats man that will be a nice gift to yourself!
Everybody keeps fogetiing the digital rearview mirror- camera in hd
That is a great point!
All black with the red walls look SICK!!!
AGREED!
