I love my camaro 2LT V6…. 335 hp is great… has mpg is great for me. Runs great. I had the 2.0 4 cylinder 275hp turbo but I didn’t like it. Turbo lag, two recalls, and the transmission shutter… I traded my 2003 Monte Carlo 111,000 miles for my camaro… but I gave the camaro another chance and bought the 2021 V6 2LT and it’s the best Chevy / car I ever owned! Great video. I agree with you!
I used to wonder why anyone would buy a V6 camaro. A week ago I was in Los Angeles for a week and I rented a Brand new 2023 Camaro with a V6 and it was a very fun car to drive. I will always pick the V8 but the V6 was fast and I smoked a guy in a BMW convertible who tried to cut me off on the off ramp (I knew he would go in front with out signaling like all BMW drivers) i also like the pop from the exhaust with every shift
I didn't like the 2.0t, and after leaving my 09 mustang gt and my RT challenger, my 2018 Camaro is a bit faster and I love it. Don't miss the V8 at all.
Hey Chris, great informative video. As you know I'm a big supporter of the LFX & LGX motors, a great all round motor for daily driving and weekend plan that you dont NEED to run it on premiem (but you notice the difference when you do run it) love the blue, it does look alot like the Riptide- Mark
Nice review! I own a 2019 V6 (RS package) and I love mine. In my opinion this engine is very underrated. It's not the V8 but its not supposed to be. It's still pretty fun to drive and quick enough that you can still get into trouble with it. I've only had one issue with mine. I was getting the "shift to park" message but it was covered by warranty and quickly repaired by the dealership. I think that issue is more of GM thing than a Camaro thing. I live in Ohio and if u don't mind me asking where did u live while u were here?
Awesome! Yeah that shift to park/trans sensor is an annoying problem but it’s not SUPER common. I lived in a small town near, Youngstown/Austintown haha.
@@ChrisFromFloriduh Nice! I’m near Columbus. So this 6th generation is being put out to pasture but we are being told the Camaro story is not over. What do you think it will come back as?
@@scottdavis_34 100% will return as a EV or Hybrid. I’m REALLY hoping for a hybrid. They can use the ERays technology to get around the gas guzzler tax. Scott Settlemire (worked/works for GM Camaro team, I have the screenshot) said around April in the Camaro FB group. That they (GM) had to make a choice because of the regulations being strict. It was either cut Camaro or Corvette. My true thought, If it does return as ICE somehow (maybe a federal change in power). There will be no more V6 and no more manual V8. We would be getting the 2.5L Turbo with an auto and a variation of a V8 with an auto. The design won’t be far from the 6th Gen on the exterior. The interior would be heavily refreshed.
i want to buy a 2016 but i hear about transmisson problems and read that gm knowinly sold defective trannys and they have a lawsuit againtst it, what a bummer
I own a 2024 2LT with the V6, I enjoy the car I wanted an LT1 or 1SS however the V6 I got is still amazing, and the ability that it has to be easily modified is such a joy rather than the V8 which requires more work and higher maintenance than the V6 and V4.
If you are looking to buy a 6th gen v6 camaro. Hold out for a 1LE version. You get a 6 speed manual (more hp to the wheels!) Additional oil, water, trans and rear diff cooling. 3.27 rear end gears as opposed to 2.77 gears. SS suspension offset tires. Completely different vehicle.
@ChrisFromFloriduh I'm having a ProCharger installed as I type this. I'm picking it up on Tuesday. 430 to the back tires on 7lbs. of boost. And 500 lbs. lighter than a SS.
I recently got a chance to drive my friends 2016 ss camaro with the 8 speed and I fell in love with not just the power but, also how it drove and shifted. I currently have a 2017 Toyota camry 4 cylinder sport edition. I got whooped by a 6th gen V6 camaro. I had no idea they were that fast. Now I'm trying to decide to get a the V8 or V6. From what I've seen the V6 would probably be enough for me. But, the sound and power of the V8 is still awesome as well
If you can afford the V8 on a daily or weekend basis (gas, maintenance, and payment) I’d go V8. I’d keep the Camry, amazing cars for 300+ k miles lol. The 3.6L, is a great engine for daily and weekends. Doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. Just 5k miles or 1 year oil changes, follow the schedule and you’re good. Great on gas as long as your on the highway, in the city your getting 19-22 lol. The 6.2L is amazing (as long as it was taken care of) as well but requires a more thorough maintenance period and uses 4 more quarts of oil every change. Gas mileage is good on the highway but city isn’t as good about 16-20. Insurance is not really a big difference (in my experience they are both considered sports cars by insurance companies). It was like 20 bucks every 6 months or something like that. I hope this info helps!
@@ChrisFromFloriduh Yes it does honestly. I’m strongly considering a Camaro and I’ve already compared the insurances here in my state of Louisiana. It’s going to be high no matter what I get. I’m only 27 and never had a sports car before even though I grew up loving them. I think the V6 would be perfect for me. Thanks for the reply brother. Hyper blue is the best color by the way
@@bigogtt4905I owned a V6 and currently have a V8, trust me if you get a V6 you’ll love the thing. It was an amazing car and in hindsight, I think I spent too much time in it wishing I had a V8 because I had some crazy pedestal for the v8 in my mind, but the V6 really isn’t nearly as far off as I thought. It’s an amazing car, worth the money and it’s plenty fast to have a blast with. Also, it’s a great way to start getting into sports cars because with a V8, if you’ve never had a sports car before and don’t have throttle discipline (which I’m not good at having), the thing can easily fly out under you and send you off into a tree or another car. The V6 is a great way to learn to control power and still have enough to have a blast with. I’d honestly recommend starting with a V6 over a V8 if it’s truly your first sports car!
I would love to get the 2024 Camaro. I have a 2001 Camaro, but it's being repaired right now. It had an oil leak and I have a lot of other stuff that needs to be done 8:50 They probably did it because it's their car and they like the sound. That's why I don't call other people's stuff dog turds
Great car, bought mine new in 2016. havn't had transmission shutter fingers crossed. Had to replace shifter a couple of years ago.. But the one thing I'm still not sure about is also about 2 years ago I bought the GM Navigation system map update GM part number 85151116 , instaled following instructions, I seem to recall having to do it twice it can't remember details. Anyway seemed fine for about a month or two and my center display ( not the dash ) went blank. Didn't seem to be anything I could do , the helpline from the update was zero help . About ten days later it came back , it went away again for a day or two six months later and has been fine since. . Anybody else with this problem There are circuit boards and cables connected to this system all over the car, I would probably spend $5000 on wild guess troubleshooting and I'm 75 , not into craweling under dashboards anymore, guess I'll just cross my fingers again.
i love my car however i have had issues since i bought it used with 30k miles :(. I have a 2018 LT RS with the NPP exhaust. I have the common shuttering issue, and the coolant temp gauge was malfunctioning so the radiator fans would turn on full blast, but for some reason it only lasted a day and started working normal again. Also, my Bluetooth constantly disconnects while on a phone call which is super annoying. I took it in to get fixed hopefully when I get it back it doesn't have issues anymore. Other than that, I love the car it sounds great, has great handling, good gas mileage, and looks great. Just wish it didn't have issues when i bought it from a BMW dealership, you would think they would've checked out the car more thoroughly before selling it.
Yep, those are almost all very common issues with the 3.6L and the A8. The temp gauge malfunctions because of the placement (from my understanding). The Bluetooth one is interesting. I never had that issue but I’m gonna be completely honest, I use CarPlay 1000% of the time. I hope everything gets fixed soon! It’s probably because it’s a BMW dealership, they don’t specialize in Chevrolet.
Same thing happened to mine the issue for mine was the thermostat and the sensor easy and cheap fix but the thermostat sensor on the LGX engine is a hard reach
Looking for some advice... (never owned a camaro before, I am 53) There is a 2011 1LT conv. V6 on a local used lot I am looking at priced at $13995. It is quite loud, I am thinking it has some sort of exaust mod. Also on 1st test drive it felt like is would not shift above 3rd. Also ran hot while returning to the lot. Top hose hot, bottom warm at best. (Thermostat?) Told dealer still interested if overheating fixed. Dealer told me before the overheat that the shifting was normal. But I think 55mph should not require a constant 2500+rpm (more like 1700) I am looking for a fun daily driver to do a lot of rural driving for work that would be better on gas than my 99 5.7L yukon 4x4 (I don't need a truck for work)
I would walk away from that vehicle. With the 6 speed on the 2011s you should be spinning around 1500-1800 RPM. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of junk used cars on the market right now. My advice is keep shopping around :)
I've owned several camaros and a trans am over the years. Two of those were v6's. 86 Berlinetta 2.8 and a 98 camaro 3.8.. The 2 v8's were a 91 rs 305 and formula 305 5.0's.. For the life of me I don't get why Chevy produced a 2.0.. why not produce a v6 with turbo.. Todays v6's that gm puts in the Camaros absolutely would compete with the 80's and 90's 5.0's i've owned. The 98 camaro 3.8 I use to own was a turd compared to the camaro 3.6. The prices today I don't get lol. Haven't had a camaro for 20+ years I'm looking now to get one. I have a few LT1's near me listed for under 40k. V6 models going for nearly 50k lol..
It’s sucks because the 1le package is gone for 23 which is an amazing package for 5k!! So I’m looking for a 21/22 v6 1le with a stick and whatever trim level i can get but I’d love a 3lt and I’m seeing a few for 30k with under 20k miles which I’m hoping to get by end of august here!!!
@@prince2178 I have a video on this, lol. Camaros have a smaller greenhouse, yes. Are they impossible to drive and unsafe? No. You have trade visibility for the styling. After 6 years, I don’t think it’s that bad.
@@prince2178Once you get use to the Car it's not bad at all, Yes going from something with bigger windows and Thinner A Pillars to the Camaro is a Learning curve but it's not as bad as it sounds
how do you feel about owning the v6 camaro in ohio? i love here too in central ohio/ dayton and im worried if the snow will be a problwm since it is fairly low in suspension
Great question. I haven’t lived in Ohio in about 4 years, I live in Florida now. But, I had no issues with the stock tires. There’s also snow and ice mode built into the car (6th Gen). I drove it in the winter from 2017 to 2019. I just washed the underside whenever the weather was above 40 degrees. You must do this otherwise you’ll rot out. In the spring, I would do a complete detail. In the fall, complete detail but wax and seal the fender wells. Wax and protect everything. It was a headache but it was worth it because there’s no rust on my car and it’s 6 years old. Even tho the car spent most of its life in Florida.
Did GM ever fix that timing chain issue on the 3.6. seen those grenade at 100k miles with proper maintenance. Minewhile my old sbc got 200000 and counting with shit maintenance.
Enjoy it bro! I have an SS now but I owned a 2018 RS V6 up til around 2 months ago and honestly that thing was incredible. I honestly still miss it sometimes lol, it really was a lovely car and it’s not even half the step down from a V8 that people say it is
@@TheBoogeyManKnows Sweet man! I had mine for 2, got it with 14k and I had a side swipe w it at 5 mph at 33k miles too, but insurance totaled it so I went up to an SS with the payout lol
@RicegumRicebum that's awesome yea I'm slapping a Whipple on mine in a few months only need the installation money right now already got her Tuned for it just have to get the money for installation 🙌🙌 should be pushing over 600whp 💪
@RicegumRicebum I wanted an Lt1 but to expensive always loved the camaro always wanted one I'm 27 btw so finally got one had it 3 years now and still love it 😀
as a former V6 2012 mustang, and now currently owning a 2016 camaro 2ss, buying a v6 is a generally a waste of money. A V6 could be enjoyable at first but ultimately it will never come close to how a V8 feels. nonetheless to each to his own and if you're enjoying the V6's thats totally respectable.
I was going to purchase a 2024 2SS but prices of used and new 6th gen’s are ridiculous. So I’m gonna snag a pavement princess C7 down the line. Corvette is better imo. I’ll probably keep my 6th Gen, it’s paid off with only 40k miles, lol.
I will be 100% honest. As someone who graduated college and bought a new sports car in their early 20s. It’s fun and all but if you are stretching your budget for a car, please, do not do that unless it’s about 20% of your income. These cars when you are young (I4, V6, and V8) are expensive on insurance. Engine doesn’t matter in my experience, they value all trims as a Camaro and a sports car. They require more maintenance than a normal car. Repairing them and caring for them, isn’t cheap. They are reliable but it’s definitely a car you have to maintain well. Just like any car but nevertheless. If it’s over 20-25% of your average income, I don’t recommend. A car isn’t worth being in debt while building your career. A home is a much better investment. For me, I had a trade, over 20% to put down and well under MSRP (back in 2017). I was able to easily make my monthly payments. I paid mine off early. I’ll make a video in regard to this topic next week.
If you can get a good deal and can afford it I ABSOLUTELY recommend it and in fact, more than the V8. I’m in my late teens and I started with a V6 and I’m VERY glad I did because I would have killed myself in a V8 if I started on it. The V6 has PLENTY of power, way way more than you think it does and that thing will put a smile on your face every time you let it rip. It’s fun, it’s pretty dang fast for what it is and you will catch a lot of people off guard who expect it to be slow and instead you’re barely right behind them. They’re a blast to own and as someone who now has an SS, they’re 100% worth the money (if you can comfortably afford it) and they’re an amazing car to start on because it’ll teach you to have some respect for the throttle
@@RicegumRicebum I’ll try to find a good deal later on this year when I’ve made a good amount of money. I’ve heard good things about the V6 Camaro like it being a fun, affordable entry level sport car and not too bad on gas. The visibility is not that big of a problem that people make it out to be. I’m sure I’ll find a good deal, the American muscle cars like the dodges, Camaros, and Mustangs aren’t usually that expensive on the i4 trims or V6 trims.
@@arcaderazerz Yeah man sounds good. I’d def recommend the V6 over an i4 tho, I drove both and the V6 is MILES better imo. Also, if you can, get a Borla atak axle back with an X pipe on it, trust me that thing will put the biggest smile on your face at 7k rpm lol
@ChrisFromFloriduh which gen is better? 5gen years 2013-2015 or 6gen 2017- 2022? I'm looking for those years generations in v6, in 4 cylinders, I'm not sure yet. U have camaro experience, and I would like to hear.
@ChrisFromFloriduh kool, my daughters in Palm coast, the Camaro club does some rally sometimes from Tampa to Daytona Beach? Like 150 to 200 Camaros going up I4 and 95 pretty kool! Mines in my profile pic if you saw, it's gmhard to see all the graphics from there?
While ive had a few 3.6 v6's it is the absolute worst and most unreliable engine gm has ever made, theuve been nothing bjt an absolute nightmare ranging from rod knock,timing chain guides literally falling out under 50k miles, they make decent power but any modifications other than intake is rolling the dice on how long itll last, not good on gas whatsoever unless you have tall highway gears but then youre pulling a 5 second 0-60 AT BEST..if youre getting for a project car your best bet is to swap with an ls and save the money on insurance
5 seconds 0-60 is quicker than most cars on the street, lol. Im flirting with the idea of a C8 Vette tbh, GM wants too much for the 24 Camaros. Even with my GM discount. 2.7 seconds 0-60 looking good, lol.
Real car guys do not buy V6 sports cars! Camaros, Mustangs, Challengers & Chargers are meant to be V8! And the coupe are meant to be manual! I would trade my 2023 ZL1 1LE for anything. Especially an automatic! I get to each there own, but I just can’t own one in a V6 evening knowing the HP it puts out! Awesome color though.
Why you so triggered? 😂 it’s not a muscle car. It’s a sports car btw. Yes, overweight is not healthy. That’s not even relevant to the discussion. Also, I have a 24 2SS on order 😏 you probably don’t even own a car.
@@ChrisFromFloriduh triggered. lol. It’s just annoying nowadays, people trying to make certain things cool or justifiable, when they’re clearly not. Muscle car or not, a Mustang, challenger and or camero, should not have a damn v6. Unless you’re an old white lady who wants to feel young, ok, I get it. But anyone else, get a damn v8. It’s like people who have 2 wheel drive trucks and have these massive lift kits and tires. Why, so you can get stuck in a few inches of snow. The world is just insane
Terrible reference. Just because it doesn't have the eight at the end doesn't make it a bad muscle car, Lol. Also you do realize V6 setups have beat V8 setups right??
@@paulfindude8743 yet GM sales more v6 then v8s lol. not everyone wants a v8. simple as that. camaro is not even a muscle car anymore. its a sports car

There is a 2011 1LT conv. V6 on a local used lot I am looking at priced at $13995. It is quite loud, I am thinking it has some sort of exaust mod. Also on 1st test drive it felt like is would not shift above 3rd. Also ran hot while returning to the lot. Top hose hot, bottom warm at best. (Thermostat?)
Told dealer still interested if overheating fixed.
Dealer told me before the overheat that the shifting was normal. But I think 55mph should not require a constant 2500+rpm (more like 1700) I am looking for a fun daily driver to do a lot of rural driving for work that would be better on gas than my 99 5.7L yukon 4x4 (I don't need a truck for work)
I would walk away from that vehicle. With the 6 speed on the 2011s you should be spinning around 1500-1800 RPM. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of junk used cars on the market right now. My advice is keep shopping around :)
I've owned several camaros and a trans am over the years. Two of those were v6's. 86 Berlinetta 2.8 and a 98 camaro 3.8.. The 2 v8's were a 91 rs 305 and formula 305 5.0's.. For the life of me I don't get why Chevy produced a 2.0.. why not produce a v6 with turbo.. Todays v6's that gm puts in the Camaros absolutely would compete with the 80's and 90's 5.0's i've owned. The 98 camaro 3.8 I use to own was a turd compared to the camaro 3.6. The prices today I don't get lol. Haven't had a camaro for 20+ years I'm looking now to get one. I have a few LT1's near me listed for under 40k. V6 models going for nearly 50k lol..
Unfortunately, cars are so overpriced :/
LOVE MY 2015 CHEVY CAMARO RS!!V-6.UPGRADED JUST A LITTLE. EXHAUST AND COLD AIR INTAKE.MIGHT DO HEADERS.MIGHT LEAVE IT AT THAT.
Doooo it!
The lgx is a great motor I had one I boost it with a Edelblock supercharger I was gapping 392 any mustang gt and camaro ss
Keyword. *HAD* what happened to it?
@@RSJerelle_lol I sold it i waiting on a 5th gen zl1
It’s sucks because the 1le package is gone for 23 which is an amazing package for 5k!!
So I’m looking for a 21/22 v6 1le with a stick and whatever trim level i can get but I’d love a 3lt and I’m seeing a few for 30k with under 20k miles which I’m hoping to get by end of august here!!!
Whooopp! I wanted the 1LE but I wanted a 50th year car and I was at the end of the model year. My options were limited back then lol.
@@ChrisFromFloriduhI’m want to get one but everyone keeps talking about the blind spots 🤦🏽♂️
@@prince2178 I have a video on this, lol. Camaros have a smaller greenhouse, yes. Are they impossible to drive and unsafe? No.
You have trade visibility for the styling. After 6 years, I don’t think it’s that bad.
I've been trying to find a Manual Camaro in my Area and it's been hard they have all been automatics
@@prince2178Once you get use to the Car it's not bad at all, Yes going from something with bigger windows and Thinner A Pillars to the Camaro is a Learning curve but it's not as bad as it sounds
Hey I bought mines 2016 RS from a used dealer and the factory muffler is welded with another two pipes! I have a vid…
Huh, you weren’t kidding. Thats a new one lol.
Make sure you keep up on the oil changes. These engines are not tolerant at all to poor oil quality.
You need to get an Overkill Supercharger from Tracy Lewis
how do you feel about owning the v6 camaro in ohio? i love here too in central ohio/ dayton and im worried if the snow will be a problwm since it is fairly low in suspension
Great question. I haven’t lived in Ohio in about 4 years, I live in Florida now.
But,
I had no issues with the stock tires. There’s also snow and ice mode built into the car (6th Gen).
I drove it in the winter from 2017 to 2019. I just washed the underside whenever the weather was above 40 degrees. You must do this otherwise you’ll rot out. In the spring, I would do a complete detail. In the fall, complete detail but wax and seal the fender wells. Wax and protect everything. It was a headache but it was worth it because there’s no rust on my car and it’s 6 years old. Even tho the car spent most of its life in Florida.
Don't get rid of it. You can make 1000hp without burning so much gas
I gotta see this lol.
It won't hold that power.
So they fixed the issues with 5th gen like the timing chain problems
On the LGX they finally did.
Did GM ever fix that timing chain issue on the 3.6. seen those grenade at 100k miles with proper maintenance. Minewhile my old sbc got 200000 and counting with shit maintenance.
They definitely improved it. Still need to change oil every 5k miles.
Hyper Blue metallic is the best color. 👍👍
I have a 2021 V6 camaro RS package in riverside blue
Enjoy it bro! I have an SS now but I owned a 2018 RS V6 up til around 2 months ago and honestly that thing was incredible. I honestly still miss it sometimes lol, it really was a lovely car and it’s not even half the step down from a V8 that people say it is
@RicegumRicebum oh yea I love it have had it now 3 in a half years got it off the show room floor with 4 miles, now it has 33k
@@TheBoogeyManKnows Sweet man! I had mine for 2, got it with 14k and I had a side swipe w it at 5 mph at 33k miles too, but insurance totaled it so I went up to an SS with the payout lol
@RicegumRicebum that's awesome yea I'm slapping a Whipple on mine in a few months only need the installation money right now already got her Tuned for it just have to get the money for installation 🙌🙌 should be pushing over 600whp 💪
@RicegumRicebum I wanted an Lt1 but to expensive always loved the camaro always wanted one I'm 27 btw so finally got one had it 3 years now and still love it 😀
as a former V6 2012 mustang, and now currently owning a 2016 camaro 2ss, buying a v6 is a generally a waste of money. A V6 could be enjoyable at first but ultimately it will never come close to how a V8 feels. nonetheless to each to his own and if you're enjoying the V6's thats totally respectable.
I was going to purchase a 2024 2SS but prices of used and new 6th gen’s are ridiculous. So I’m gonna snag a pavement princess C7 down the line. Corvette is better imo. I’ll probably keep my 6th Gen, it’s paid off with only 40k miles, lol.
Would you recommend this to teens that want to buy a sports car for their first car?
I will be 100% honest. As someone who graduated college and bought a new sports car in their early 20s. It’s fun and all but if you are stretching your budget for a car, please, do not do that unless it’s about 20% of your income.
These cars when you are young (I4, V6, and V8) are expensive on insurance. Engine doesn’t matter in my experience, they value all trims as a Camaro and a sports car. They require more maintenance than a normal car. Repairing them and caring for them, isn’t cheap. They are reliable but it’s definitely a car you have to maintain well. Just like any car but nevertheless.
If it’s over 20-25% of your average income, I don’t recommend. A car isn’t worth being in debt while building your career. A home is a much better investment.
For me, I had a trade, over 20% to put down and well under MSRP (back in 2017). I was able to easily make my monthly payments. I paid mine off early.
I’ll make a video in regard to this topic next week.
If you can get a good deal and can afford it I ABSOLUTELY recommend it and in fact, more than the V8. I’m in my late teens and I started with a V6 and I’m VERY glad I did because I would have killed myself in a V8 if I started on it. The V6 has PLENTY of power, way way more than you think it does and that thing will put a smile on your face every time you let it rip. It’s fun, it’s pretty dang fast for what it is and you will catch a lot of people off guard who expect it to be slow and instead you’re barely right behind them. They’re a blast to own and as someone who now has an SS, they’re 100% worth the money (if you can comfortably afford it) and they’re an amazing car to start on because it’ll teach you to have some respect for the throttle
@@RicegumRicebum I’ll try to find a good deal later on this year when I’ve made a good amount of money. I’ve heard good things about the V6 Camaro like it being a fun, affordable entry level sport car and not too bad on gas. The visibility is not that big of a problem that people make it out to be. I’m sure I’ll find a good deal, the American muscle cars like the dodges, Camaros, and Mustangs aren’t usually that expensive on the i4 trims or V6 trims.
@@arcaderazerz Yeah man sounds good. I’d def recommend the V6 over an i4 tho, I drove both and the V6 is MILES better imo. Also, if you can, get a Borla atak axle back with an X pipe on it, trust me that thing will put the biggest smile on your face at 7k rpm lol
Lol ur dog caught me off guard why is it laying like that😂.
😂
My GSD does the same and loves to lay in the middle of everyone 😂

U have camaro experience, and I would like to hear.

Lol you almost convinced me to buy one 😂 good review bro
You welcome bro 😂
No startup...no sound? Is this really your car?
Nah it’s an AI generated car bro
What part of Florida? Im in central Florida, you may see my #theoriginaldeadpoolcamaro, around in shows?
I’m in NE Florida, outside of Jacksonville lol.
@ChrisFromFloriduh kool, my daughters in Palm coast, the Camaro club does some rally sometimes from Tampa to Daytona Beach? Like 150 to 200 Camaros going up I4 and 95 pretty kool! Mines in my profile pic if you saw, it's gmhard to see all the graphics from there?
make sure to get the manual transmission so you dont have to worry about AFM/DOD and half weak cylinders/lifters.
I disabled my AFM
too many reasons i love the new camaros i saw victorracing do a moded version of these
They are awesome!
Good first car for a teen ?
It COULD be. 335 crank horsepower is still decent. Insurance isn’t the cheapest.
While ive had a few 3.6 v6's it is the absolute worst and most unreliable engine gm has ever made, theuve been nothing bjt an absolute nightmare ranging from rod knock,timing chain guides literally falling out under 50k miles, they make decent power but any modifications other than intake is rolling the dice on how long itll last, not good on gas whatsoever unless you have tall highway gears but then youre pulling a 5 second 0-60 AT BEST..if youre getting for a project car your best bet is to swap with an ls and save the money on insurance
Muffler delete is the only way to go!
Please more facts less mumbles and stumbles.
i have an lfx camaro and it sounds like a vq haha i hate it
Dude, stop with the talking hand.
I’m fugly 😬
Sorry, the charger GT is better

damn so many haters LOL

I love my zl1 2023 650 horses 🐎 and 650 torque 0 60 3.2
5 seconds 0-60 is quicker than most cars on the street, lol. Im flirting with the idea of a C8 Vette tbh, GM wants too much for the 24 Camaros. Even with my GM discount.
2.7 seconds 0-60 looking good, lol.
It's all good 👍
Next time just get the real deal 🤷🏻♂️
@@c525i ZL1 $65K-70K+ new. Stupid money for what is still just a Camaro. His V6 makes A LOT more sense.
nobody wants to watch another talking hand, why do all youtubers use the same hand
I’m fugly 😬
U buy a Camaro for the sound and muscle not for a puny engine !
No such thing as muscle in 2023. Muscle cars have been dead (in Chevys lineup) since 1990.
Real car guys do not buy V6 sports cars! Camaros, Mustangs, Challengers & Chargers are meant to be V8! And the coupe are meant to be manual! I would trade my 2023 ZL1 1LE for anything. Especially an automatic! I get to each there own, but I just can’t own one in a V6 evening knowing the HP it puts out! Awesome color though.
I have v6 m35 I love it idgaf bout the bs
Thanks for your opinion? Lol.
Bro, NOT ITS NOT! A v6 on a muscle car is a joke. You saying the v6 is great is like someone saying being 500 pounds is a healthy.
Why you so triggered? 😂 it’s not a muscle car. It’s a sports car btw.
Yes, overweight is not healthy. That’s not even relevant to the discussion.
Also, I have a 24 2SS on order 😏 you probably don’t even own a car.
@@ChrisFromFloriduh triggered. lol. It’s just annoying nowadays, people trying to make certain things cool or justifiable, when they’re clearly not. Muscle car or not, a Mustang, challenger and or camero, should not have a damn v6. Unless you’re an old white lady who wants to feel young, ok, I get it. But anyone else, get a damn v8. It’s like people who have 2 wheel drive trucks and have these massive lift kits and tires. Why, so you can get stuck in a few inches of snow. The world is just insane
Terrible reference. Just because it doesn't have the eight at the end doesn't make it a bad muscle car, Lol. Also you do realize V6 setups have beat V8 setups right??
I got a v6 and u just sound desperate tryna be a car guy @paulfindude8743
@@paulfindude8743 yet GM sales more v6 then v8s lol. not everyone wants a v8. simple as that. camaro is not even a muscle car anymore. its a sports car
