Thank you. Took me like 3-4 test drives at different dealers lol. That’s the main reason why I kept looking around to get used to it, then finally pulled the trigger on the one I have now. Actually working towards a ZL1.
Todd Ison im also really interested in the 1LE, i really want to see how that does, seeing as the ZL1 will lily have most of the handling hardware from the 1LE then the LT4 to boot.
justin bouche Heck ya bud both will be amazing cars no doubt. I'm honestly torn between which one to get (although price might come into factor). Just have driven 2016 z06/z07 a lot lately... you can't use the power (legally) unless you want to track it a lot... where as in the 1LE can still get to hammer down on it a good bit *somewhat legally*. Great job by GM though has me sold!
Todd Ison well, if you're looking at the Z06 but dont want the un-manageable power there is always the grand sport, looks like a beast, and has that crazy new "teal" color interior. if it was me i would go with a GS over a 1LE if i had the money for a Z06, but the ZL1 is still badass. good position to be in haha.
Oh I got two little ones that have to go in the back from time to time or I would get the Z06 or even the Grandsport. I actually do like the teal color although my buddies think it looks terrible lol. Anyways its a family member who bought the z06 that i've been driving so I can always "borrow" that one hehe. Ya it is a great time for muscle cars and amazing that the hard choice is which GM car to get really shows who is dominating the market at least in my opinion.
jesus, you could feel the hate more than half the video was focused on hating on it and they were mostly subjective points, in the end still had to give it a pass its just to good ;)
+clovis myers This guy is too hipster to love this car. They hate to love it and it shows. You know a car is special when even haters have to praise it lol.
:D I think this car is fantastic. Haven't had as much fun test driving something since the E63. But, I respectfully disagree... I think this person's tone was a bit deliberate, but I just heard him saying how good everything was, with the exception of that window... As a matter of fact, since he WAS so blunt about the window, it made his other praise more genuine sounding? Just my two cents...
Just picked up my '16 Camaro Red Hot 2SS M6/NPP/MRC/Nav...and having had a '10 2SS/RS IOM M6, this is a WHOLE 'nother car! Only 1200 more miles until the break-in is finished then game on!!!
I came here to comment the same thing... a very WTF moment in the review. The 8 speed in this car is really the first to make me actually WANT an auto. I've been driving manual on different cars for almost 18 years. The speed in which autos shift now... and the objective fact that they are the faster cars now... is EXCITING... I love that shit. It is modern, it is the future. I like embracing new tech... the days of manual being the only option are done... there are just a whole lot of people that still don't understand that and are holding desperately onto the days in which manual was indisputable king. Sure... it is still a lot of fun... but that is the debate... which is more fun... not which is better or makes you badass or something.
The Hooniverse I know it is. However, I'm not a good liar. There are attractive spectacles, then there are spectacle that give a certain sought-after look. Your glasses have that look, hence the urge to hit them (and whatever they're on) with a 2x4.
AudioSlave I have a Forester. The Camaro is a very viable performance option for people who aren't willing to, or able to, pay for the more expensive stuff. I used to argue from your perspective, and I've realized how unnecessarily douchey that argument really is.
This is by far the best Camaro ever! GM sure knows how to engineer a serious performance machine! And for the first time ever, the Camaro actually has an attractive interior; albeit a tad gaudy with the giant rotary AC controls and glossy MyLink touchscreen! However, its major shortcomings (the poor visibility, unusable rear passenger space, high SS value) are enough to keep me looking at the competition! I prefer the Mustang's styling and smoother ride, plus the Challenger's usability and ZF 8-Speed!
I have a 2015 1LE Camaro. It's an amazing drivers car and it would take a lot for me to trade it, though the 2016's are very impressive. In my opinion 2017 is going to be the year to get a 6th gen if you are planning to, considering the new 1LE, ZL1 and probably even the Z28 will be avaible.
Great job reviewing a great car (yes, I own one). The best part was a young man who actually prefers a manual trans over the automatic. I couldn't believe it when I saw the "Rev Match" in a car with a stick. But as you said, it defaults to it being off. Thanks for a great presentation, Cappy.
Although the 6 spend manual is more fun to drive the 8 speed is actually "great" it will crush a manual every time. I enjoyed the 8 speed and initially I was going for a manual. I will say the Challenger 8 speed feels like it shifts slightly faster. Also the performance numbers you state are for the auto not the manual 0-60 in 4 sec and mid 12's for 1/4 mile are only attainable without mods with the auto. Love the heads up display in your video great job showing that.
I own a 6th gen SS with a 8 speed auto FBO and the transmission with the right tune is an absolute monster. I've owned many manual car but had to get one in auto.
I have to agree with about the 6 gen changing my mind about Camaro's. I always have been a Corvette guy, but Chevy made so many changes to the car that I am actually interested in buying it. Waiting for the 1LE but the SS was great when I drove it. Nice review
3/10ths faster for people who can't drive :p But seriously...why would you want an automatic sports car. Its like an open admission that you're a poser.
Wow I love this dude! My kind of reviewer and not 5'6! I can actually see how someone close to my size reviews cars! And not only that, he is crisp and aggressive in his statements and thoughts!!
It's good though so you can see what a regular sized dude says about the size of the car. A 5'6" dude will look all small and say plenty of room ". Not that cool when I get in to review a car...
I don't get all the hate towards the 8 speed. Shifts are super smooth and barely noticeable. It's a couple tenths quicker from 0-60 and in the quarter mile than the manual. The only thing I can see behind is the paddle shifter's reaction time to the inputs, the shifts are fine but a little delayed. Other than that the 8 speed is an awesome transmission. It's like 1 critic says something negative about it, and then everyone jumps on the bandwagon and says it's garbage.
+1LE Camaro actually it's because despite its impressive performance it was too expensive for the average consumer. Besides, it was the last real Camaro. The 5th gens didn't even have the red, white, and blue stripe logo. They share nothing I'm common with Camaro heritage
+Unbearable Pain no because the camaro was priced the the same as the mustang so that's not why, it's because it was to ugly and was rock bottom in sales and the new crash standards came and they didn't want to invest the money..
Camaros and Mustangs would sell much better if they were advertised. GM and Ford act like debutantes about these cars; "If you don't know who I am, that's YOUR problem!"
I like the plastic suspension components used on the new Camaro. Because to me, nothing says strength quality and durability like plastic. WAY TO GO GM!
+saquist You mean complains about things that are wrong with a car? Sight lines and belt lines are two areas where an automaker can make mistakes. Also, not a car guy? Because I know two terms for styling portions of the car? Please... I guess owning a 1965 Ford F100 and a 1984 Mercedes wagon also don't make me a car guy? I guess running races at LeMons don't make me a car guy? Turning a Lap at the 'Ring doesn't make me a car guy? You know what makes *you* not a car person? Bitching about bullshit and dissing other people who like cars...
The Hooniverse I MEAN... A video that comes out months after everyone else has reviewed the car and the only good insight on the vehicle is don't get the 8 speed manual because it's not very good. IF you're such a good car guy WHY is that the only insight you scraped up? Are you really passing off this rehash piss as a "Car Guy"'s insight? Every knows the camaro has poor sight lines. everyone comments on it like it's not news and people still buy the car. And SORRY...but I just don't care about your credentials, I care about what you can tell me about the car. Every affordable great sports car is drying up. Nissan doesn't make 350z anymore, Mitsubishi is on the last EVO. The WRX STI is less than equal. Level all the piss and vinegar you want but at the end of the day this video wasted time saying what everyone else said.
Nice review - I enjoy the style and atmosphere of your videos. While I realize the Camaro is lighter and can handle better, I'm still infatuated with the Challenger Scat Pack or SRT 392. I'll be in the market in the not-so-distant future and plan on test driving both the SS and aforementioned Challengers. Since you've driven both (Scat Pack and SS), which car do you prefer? I should mention I'm an "older" driver in his mid 50's looking for a great highway road-trip car. Because of this, I'm leaning towards the Dodge. Is my thinking correct here? Thanks and keep the videos coming!
+MN saint I really love that Challenger too... I think you'll appreciate the internal sight lines better in the Dodge. Both cars are good, but I enjoy the Challenger a bit more. I'll readily admit that the Camaro would kick the Dodge's butt on a track, but that isn't my main concern with a vehicle.
Good point. I look at it this way (and this is purely a personal thing): How often will I be on the track with my car vs. how often will I be on regular roads? That said, I don't think one could go wrong with either car. When it comes to the current choice of "muscle/pony" cars, we're living in great times. Thanks for replying.
This is making me really want a camaro. Manual is so much fun, but the better fuel economy, seamless power, and quicker acceleration of the automatic is also pretty appealing.
Here in Germany we have the BMW M4, Audi S4, Mercedes AMG. Fantastic Cars. Perfect in every single part. But all about 80.000 € (90.000$) and without the soul of a car like the camaro. I love this car. It looks so mean. I love the corvette C7 so much. And I ordered the new Camaro last month. Congratulation USA and Chevy you know how to build a car to love, to have fun and with so much emotions.
Awesome video. Mustang is out ponied. The Challenger lost. Camaro is the sport car of 2016 and beyond. When you weigh it all. It is okay to hate Camaro because everyone else is either late to the game, or not even playing. I drove the SS1, and SS2 with the 8 Speed automatic and the 6 speed manual. GM has hit the gold with this car. You can hate the beat sports car value in the world. Cool, that means more Camaro foe the rest of us. Yeah, this coming from a former Mustang fan.
You can always tell when Chevy builds a great car, because people will look for anything they don't like, and make it a big deal as to effect the quality of the car. This is 2016 not 1986 buddy.
so we can just except things that we don't like... You've just watched a review, which is an opinion. It doesn't have to match *your* opinion, but it presents the hosts opinion. Did you not hear the part where I talk about how great the car is? I'm not also allowed to tell you about the parts I don't enjoy? Seems pretty lame to just shovel bullshit at your face...
+The Hooniverse I assume you can you can apply that to yourself as well huh? Assuming everyone needs, can afford, or entitled to a car with a suede lined dashboard huh. I for one am grateful to know how you take care of a car, will protect its longevity as well. Just because it has plastics parts (in which majority of cars have) never determines its a bad car. They (GM) did something right if the current Camaro is selling better that the vehicles in its class.
Funny... People getting into the Stang vs Camaro camps! These American cars have come a long way! Love this new Camaro! Yes stock to stock it's faster than the 5.0 but there is about a $4-6k difference in price. I drove both and quality wise one isn't better than the other as they are both very good. In my opinion if you like to modify your car the Mustang is the less expensive to start with. The coyote motor with its forged internals loves forced induction and is very dependable even at over 700 whp. In fact for $50k you will have a mustang that will walk away from a Hellcat and even most cars costing much more. But in the end... Camaro, Charger/Challenger, Mustang... Goodness you really can't make a bad choice! They all serve American Muscle in just a slightly different way!!
Thanks for the review man. Although I can't ignore the elephant in the room here and that is the fact that this car has the fugliest dash/center stack. I'd still take this over a gt though.
So this was the first review on this channel I have ever seen. My one question is why is it hooniverse if you don't hoon in the cars? I still enjoyed it and subbed but I'm curious nonetheless
+agl_bst Go watch the Hellcat or Scat Pack review. Maybe the Jag F-Type. We do it when we can. You can't go crazy everytime. We do when time allows and we have a full shoot crew on hand. We're called Hooniverse, because we're part of the Hooniverse.com website which we started in 2009. It's a space for a love of all things about the automobile.
I was looking for a new vehicle, I test drove both the Camaro SS and the Mustang GT, love the Camaro better but the mustang has some advantages over than the CamaroI disagree with you the 8-speed automatic is really good At the end I ended up buying a Silverado lol
The only thing that i didnt like about my 5th gen camaro ss was that i always felt like i had to bend my head down and low to see under the roof line to see out of the windshield. I'm only '5 11".
Besides looks, what don't you like about gen 3, 4 and 5? Gen 4 in particular was a real heavy hitter in the 90s No they aren't as gorgeous as a 1969 charger rt, no they aren't as refined or fast or comfortable as the super cars of today, but they each held their own during their time. They are each extremely cheap now aswell. Not so much gen 5 of course, but I paid just over 2 grand for a 4th gen with a 5.7 v8 and a 14.0 quarter mile stock. Not too shabby for what you pay
+Jeremiah I agree that right now, they're great power value for money. Just growing up, they never did much for me... I was more attracted to the Ford Mustang. I don't really actually *hate* the Camaro, haha... It's just never been the car for me, is all. I may have gone a bit dramatic in the video. As the years pass, I find them more appealing though... I'll admit that. I saw a Gen II the other day that was just excellent.
+The Hooniverse I see where you are coming from, fox body mustangs and SN 95 mustangs were both awesome cars I love them myself. I just wonder what it is exactly that turned you off from them. Looks? Handling? Interior? Couldn't have been strait line performance that's pretty much all they do ha ha
It has direct fuel injection. Good luck modding these to get more with just bolt ons! That's why the newer mustangs weren't direct injected so people can mod them and get more out of mods.
The new GM 8 speed has been revamped for 2016 with much faster up and down shifts as much as 1200X's for up shifts and 500X's for down shifts, much smarter track recognition which can repeat track lap times from your best laps. Also, It's faster than the 6spm, and by a wide margin. The 8spa 0-60 in as low as 3.90 seconds, the 6spm does it in 4.20 seconds. 1/4 mile 11.95 in the 8spa, 12.30 in the 6spm. The 8spm at the Nurburgring was faster than the 6spm by just over 3 seconds! Enough said, you need to do some more homework on the Chevy's you hate so much ;-)
you don't know what your talking about you just read a Chevy brosure, and you think your opinion of people who've actually driven them. maybe go drive cars instead of sitting on Google
So he is bitching about the beltline. If the beltline wasn't where it is he would then be bitching about the outward styling. You can't have it both ways.

Amen, blind spot monitoring, flare mirrors, don't glance look over shoulder before turns=solved
99% of peeps have side view mirrors adjusted too far inward; PRIMARY cause of blindspots!!
Agreed
Thank you. Took me like 3-4 test drives at different dealers lol. That’s the main reason why I kept looking around to get used to it, then finally pulled the trigger on the one I have now. Actually working towards a ZL1.
@@392Eleventh I hope you get your zl1 friend💪
better interior than the mustang, handling right there with the M4, power to rival the corvette, and crazy good balance. looks like a winner.
+justin bouche aint that the truth, just wait till the ZL1 comes out... oh ya!
Todd Ison im also really interested in the 1LE, i really want to see how that does, seeing as the ZL1 will lily have most of the handling hardware from the 1LE then the LT4 to boot.
justin bouche Heck ya bud both will be amazing cars no doubt. I'm honestly torn between which one to get (although price might come into factor). Just have driven 2016 z06/z07 a lot lately... you can't use the power (legally) unless you want to track it a lot... where as in the 1LE can still get to hammer down on it a good bit *somewhat legally*. Great job by GM though has me sold!
Todd Ison well, if you're looking at the Z06 but dont want the un-manageable power there is always the grand sport, looks like a beast, and has that crazy new "teal" color interior. if it was me i would go with a GS over a 1LE if i had the money for a Z06, but the ZL1 is still badass. good position to be in haha.
Oh I got two little ones that have to go in the back from time to time or I would get the Z06 or even the Grandsport.

Ya it is a great time for muscle cars and amazing that the hard choice is which GM car to get really shows who is dominating the market at least in my opinion.
The only thing you're wrong about is the 8-speed auto. It is one of the best in the business according to more than a dozen reviews.
Deadeyedickification it’s very good. I love it.
jesus, you could feel the hate more than half the video was focused on hating on it and they were mostly subjective points, in the end still had to give it a pass its just to good ;)

Seriously happy with 2016 Camaro SS full option. Performance, Tech, and Looks... all there.
every review I've seen of this camaro. I've heard nothing but great things about the 8 speed transmission..
idk what your talking about... motortrend doesn't like it and Matt F doesn't like it...
+matthew von if you learned how to read, he said every review that he has seen. Not every review ever.
Gm makes their own 8 speed and it's not that great.
Lies. They are heavy car enthusiast and just prefer a manual sports car, but they never said they hated it.
Randy Pobst said it wasn't the best either, but none of us are professional driver's that have been in many cars for years.
These new ones are fast, and the interior is so nice
You get a thumbs up for the vid, but I'd still love to slap those glasses off with a 2x4.
+Jefe von Q well... that's a pretty fucked up thing to say.
The Hooniverse
I know it is. However, I'm not a good liar.
There are attractive spectacles, then there are spectacle that give a certain sought-after look. Your glasses have that look, hence the urge to hit them (and whatever they're on) with a 2x4.
+The Hooniverse great review....I just see the camaro as a trailer park ferrari though..the stigma attached to them just gets in the way.

If you can afford to buy and maintain a Ferrari, then do it. If you can't, either buy another car that you like and can afford or STFU.

The Camaro has gotten so well that even the Mustang GT is no longer competitive
+123benitezm lol you're salty because the facts are true
I can see perfectly out of my 6th gen camaro ! Why do people keep complaining about visibility? I like that tank feel haha

the way it's programmed is eh
+matthew von thought I told u to shut up, I will find you
3/10ths faster for people who can't drive :p
But seriously...why would you want an automatic sports car. Its like an open admission that you're a poser.
At this point the GM 8 speed automatic is pretty good and is a good option.
people are butt hurt that people don't like it...yet why did GM co-develope with Ford a all new 10 speed ?
+matthew von We won't get far unless we cooperate.
A good option for your retired grandmother.
You've still got a good left leg...use it.
No it isn't

so do you prefer the 7 spd in the c7 or the 6 spd in the 6th gen camaro

Love the new camaro. The belt line as mentioned is very high. I wondered if I got in a bad accident with it would I even be able to exit the car.
I'm a short guy, car suits me just fine.
Nice review - I enjoy the style and atmosphere of your videos. While I realize the Camaro is lighter and can handle better, I'm still infatuated with the Challenger Scat Pack or SRT 392. I'll be in the market in the not-so-distant future and plan on test driving both the SS and aforementioned Challengers. Since you've driven both (Scat Pack and SS), which car do you prefer? I should mention I'm an "older" driver in his mid 50's looking for a great highway road-trip car. Because of this, I'm leaning towards the Dodge. Is my thinking correct here?

+MN saint I really love that Challenger too... I think you'll appreciate the internal sight lines better in the Dodge. Both cars are good, but I enjoy the Challenger a bit more. I'll readily admit that the Camaro would kick the Dodge's butt on a track, but that isn't my main concern with a vehicle.
Good point. I look at it this way (and this is purely a personal thing): How often will I be on the track with my car vs. how often will I be on regular roads? That said, I don't think one could go wrong with either car. When it comes to the current choice of "muscle/pony" cars, we're living in great times. Thanks for replying.
This is making me really want a camaro. Manual is so much fun, but the better fuel economy, seamless power, and quicker acceleration of the automatic is also pretty appealing.
first video from this guy i ever watched and literally laughed out loud 5 times. awesome
Lovin my 2SS
These are my thoughts exactly on this car!! I truly never payed any mind to the camaro until now. I cant wait to get one. subbed
The old z28 did not have carbon fiber wheels, you must be thinking of the GT350R
I was... my mistake.
Man can't wait for mine. Having it custom built. Just got done waiting for delivery.
2017 that is
The GM 8 speed IS great, you just have to let the transmission do its own thing instead of wacking the paddles.
"It's still good at going straight too" - American cars of the modern era.
agree 100% with you
such a better performer than the last generation
Here in Germany we have the BMW M4, Audi S4, Mercedes AMG. Fantastic Cars. Perfect in every single part. But all about 80.000 € (90.000$)
and without the soul of a car like the camaro.
I love this car. It looks so mean. I love the corvette C7 so much. And I ordered the new Camaro last month.
Congratulation USA and Chevy you know how to build a car to love, to have fun and with so much emotions.
The interior is fantastic. For me, the V6 is more than enough car. Still can't own one until I have a 2 car garage. Albuquerque. Someday.
you're right. the V6 from Gen 5 was enough, now this one has more power and less weight with a better interior.
+CCZ I find my gen 5 v6 lacking... Would love to drive the gen 6 v6
the belt line on this car is steve urkel status
Awesome video. Mustang is out ponied. The Challenger lost. Camaro is the sport car of 2016 and beyond. When you weigh it all. It is okay to hate Camaro because everyone else is either late to the game, or not even playing. I drove the SS1, and SS2 with the 8 Speed automatic and the 6 speed manual. GM has hit the gold with this car. You can hate the beat sports car value in the world. Cool, that means more Camaro foe the rest of us. Yeah, this coming from a former Mustang fan.
4th gen ls1 camaros are the fastest cars in their price range by far so....
Nice review my friend. On this 6th generation jewel.
As Billy Connolly puts it, your hair is "wind-swept and interesting."
I've only heard the opposite about the 8 speed(that it is a great auto), but i dont like auto so i get manual cars anyway.
1:14 The 8 speed is a solid transmission, and the new 10 speed is nasty also. They are tanks & are very consistent transmissions.
Thanks for the quite tone of this video. Will flow well into one of the Bob Ross videos I use for white noise.
You can always tell when Chevy builds a great car, because people will look for anything they don't like, and make it a big deal as to effect the quality of the car. This is 2016 not 1986 buddy.
so we can just except things that we don't like... You've just watched a review, which is an opinion. It doesn't have to match *your* opinion, but it presents the hosts opinion.
Did you not hear the part where I talk about how great the car is? I'm not also allowed to tell you about the parts I don't enjoy?
Seems pretty lame to just shovel bullshit at your face...
+The Hooniverse I assume you can you can apply that to yourself as well huh? Assuming everyone needs, can afford, or entitled to a car with a suede lined dashboard huh. I for one am grateful to know how you take care of a car, will protect its longevity as well. Just because it has plastics parts (in which majority of cars have) never determines its a bad car. They (GM) did something right if the current Camaro is selling better that the vehicles in its class.
Funny... People getting into the Stang vs Camaro camps! These American cars have come a long way! Love this new Camaro! Yes stock to stock it's faster than the 5.0 but there is about a $4-6k difference in price. I drove both and quality wise one isn't better than the other as they are both very good. In my opinion if you like to modify your car the Mustang is the less expensive to start with. The coyote motor with its forged internals loves forced induction and is very dependable even at over 700 whp. In fact for $50k you will have a mustang that will walk away from a Hellcat and even most cars costing much more. But in the end... Camaro, Charger/Challenger, Mustang... Goodness you really can't make a bad choice! They all serve American Muscle in just a slightly different way!!
ZL1 is where it's at if one wants the pure Camaro driving experience..........
i like your videos "Hooniverse" the are very descriptive.
I'm sorry but wtf how can you not like gen 3 and 4?? wut
Hooneverse rules!
5:40 , Wrong information, the 5th generation Z/28 used aluminium wheels, not carbon fiber wheels.
yeah...no more elbow resting on those high windowsills, didn't realize it until I took it down at the end of the trip and was almost paralyzed.
"Mahrr...my arm's up here, God dammit!" Worth watching just for that moment.
so, this vs 392 challenger,, which do you prefer?? I'm on the fence. I love both but can't make a choice lol.
392 challenger looks cooler
Dat B-Roll though!
+Jason Connor @TerminatorConn they actually did a pretty good job with it! I was surprised.
Great B roll
3rd gens are nice if done right. black 86 iroc looks awesome
The last Camaro version was the 5th Generation. This is the new version is the 6th Generation Camaro.
As an offended guy, I'm short.
Anybody knows the name of this blue? Looks like a winner.
I really enjoy your vids man😉
+Alex Moran thanks!
He tells it how it is..... really funny how everything he said was exactly what i think.
Mind linking us to that sweet background music for the last 2 minutes of the video? Really nice little tune.
Thanks for the review man. Although I can't ignore the elephant in the room here and that is the fact that this car has the fugliest dash/center stack. I'd still take this over a gt though.
What does Chris Hayes look like?..After listening to todays Podcast (TH-cam Comments 2) this video is so much better haha.
So this was the first review on this channel I have ever seen. My one question is why is it hooniverse if you don't hoon in the cars? I still enjoyed it and subbed but I'm curious nonetheless
+agl_bst Go watch the Hellcat or Scat Pack review. Maybe the Jag F-Type. We do it when we can. You can't go crazy everytime. We do when time allows and we have a full shoot crew on hand.
We're called Hooniverse, because we're part of the Hooniverse.com website which we started in 2009. It's a space for a love of all things about the automobile.
I was looking for a new vehicle, I test drove both the Camaro SS and the Mustang GT, love the Camaro better but the mustang has some advantages over than the CamaroI disagree with you the 8-speed automatic is really good At the end I ended up buying a Silverado lol
Lol
3:49 channel your inner Cartman...
Does this car pull hard??
The only thing that i didnt like about my 5th gen camaro ss was that i always felt like i had to bend my head down and low to see under the roof line to see out of the windshield. I'm only '5 11".
what city it is in video ?
I don't think the previous z28 had carbon fiber wheels.... just brakes
Ugh I love it...especially in this blue.
Does this manual transmission still force you to shift from 1st to 4th?
This car has one of the lightest clutches. What do you mean has a heavy clutch?
Camaro is back
6.3, roger that, that's the only thing I needed to know
Thanks
Is that the guy from the Hangover movies?
i like how straight forward he is, lmao
Yeah backing up the new Camaros in a busy parking lot is not fun, but that's why god invented the back up cam. Which mine doesn't have
great review,, BTW I like this song .. what's title and artist..??
Besides looks, what don't you like about gen 3, 4 and 5? Gen 4 in particular was a real heavy hitter in the 90s
No they aren't as gorgeous as a 1969 charger rt, no they aren't as refined or fast or comfortable as the super cars of today, but they each held their own during their time.
They are each extremely cheap now aswell. Not so much gen 5 of course, but I paid just over 2 grand for a 4th gen with a 5.7 v8 and a 14.0 quarter mile stock. Not too shabby for what you pay
+Jeremiah I agree that right now, they're great power value for money. Just growing up, they never did much for me... I was more attracted to the Ford Mustang. I don't really actually *hate* the Camaro, haha... It's just never been the car for me, is all. I may have gone a bit dramatic in the video.
As the years pass, I find them more appealing though... I'll admit that. I saw a Gen II the other day that was just excellent.
+The Hooniverse I see where you are coming from, fox body mustangs and SN 95 mustangs were both awesome cars I love them myself.
I just wonder what it is exactly that turned you off from them. Looks? Handling? Interior? Couldn't have been strait line performance that's pretty much all they do ha ha
It has direct fuel injection. Good luck modding these to get more with just bolt ons! That's why the newer mustangs weren't direct injected so people can mod them and get more out of mods.
The new GM 8 speed has been revamped for 2016 with much faster up and down shifts as much as 1200X's for up shifts and 500X's for down shifts, much smarter track recognition which can repeat track lap times from your best laps. Also, It's faster than the 6spm, and by a wide margin. The 8spa 0-60 in as low as 3.90 seconds, the 6spm does it in 4.20 seconds. 1/4 mile 11.95 in the 8spa, 12.30 in the 6spm. The 8spm at the Nurburgring was faster than the 6spm by just over 3 seconds! Enough said, you need to do some more homework on the Chevy's you hate so much ;-)
you don't know what your talking about you just read a Chevy brosure, and you think your opinion of people who've actually driven them. maybe go drive cars instead of sitting on Google
+matthew von God you're a tool. You're complaining about how the a8 is programmed and I'm sure you've never driven one anyways. Ironic poser.
The camero really is a dream to drive. even the 6 cylinder which cranks out 340 on a basic non turbo engine e
So he is bitching about the beltline. If the beltline wasn't where it is he would then be bitching about the outward styling. You can't have it both ways.
what color is that.
