I actually prefer the Chevrolet Camaro over the Ford Mustang and trust me, I am not the only one. There are so many on the road, that you probably will see at least 10 a day in your neighborhood.
Fair enough, aperxmim. We won't hold that against you. LOL In all honestly, all of these cars are wonderful for what they are. None are perfect, but when the pros outweigh the cons on each of our lists, that's all that matters. Thanks for watching!
Great review. I take delivery on my '21 2SS in the next week. No debate here...always been a Camaro guy. But my head still turns when I see a Mustang or Dodge on the road.
They're all great cars, Ron Lininger, so we won't hold the Chevy thing against you. LOL In all seriousness, congrats and we're sure you'll love it. Thanks for watching!
I love all 3 cars too! Dodge, Chevy & Ford. Thank you!
I'm more on the Chevy team, awesome Review.
Thanks, Machine!
Nice job..... CAMARO/MUSTANG.... LIKE EM BOTH....
Thanks for watching, Rich!
Yet another great job Chris! I seriously can't choose between the Mustang and the Camaro knowing I would have to keep it for a long while. I like the interiors of the Camaros, while the exterior styling of the Mustang is more my taste. The engines are a wash for me though...which has better low end torque and midrange? I know the upper power range is all Mustang though, but I guess effortless get up and go from the stoplight is more important on the street. I'm not skilled enough to take either car anywhere near their limits. Notice I haven't mentioned the Challenger in all this until now...
Yeah, the Challenger was never on my list in the past, The_Notorious_9, but it's actually the most comfortable and powerful (depending upon trim) out of them all. At the end of the day, it all really comes down to personal preference. GM has the better suspension and Ford makes the best noises, unfortunately even if you don't want to hear them (Quiet Mode isn't THAT quiet). Dodge is actually the best package for 40+ year olds, but it's bigger and a little more antiquated than the other two. The power of the GT feels best, until you get to 392 or Hellcat levels, then Dodge takes it all. Thanks for watching!
First of all, I’d like to give you a thumbs up for trying to not being biased as a Ford guy. That’s sometimes kind of hard when reviewing or commenting on other manufacturer’s products that could or do interfere with your own preferences (Chevrolet and Dodge guys alike).
Concerning me, I’m neither a Ford nor a Mopar nor a GM guy in particular even though I may tend to give it to the Camaro in the end. Whenever I’ll be able to afford it I’d end up buying a true V8 with no less than 5 litres of displacement - the more the better, the best as N/A with a manual.
Concerning “the big 3”, the Challenger needs to be a Hellcat Redeye Widebody for me - even though not coming N/A and having an automatic transmission. It just fits its character as the only true HEMI muscle powerhouse left - would do some improvements of the chassis though to make it a more stiffer and sportier ride for our German Autobahnen. The Mustang is the pony itself with the most modern technical engine base, but Ford’s just taking it from the living here - the price points don’t reflect the real value (Mach1 in particular), the Shelby GT500 as an exception. So no deal here. The Camaro is a very balanced sports muscle car with an unbeatable price tag. Maybe a little too traditional or old in its engine base but its reliability and output are phenomenal.
So thank you for your review. Being interested in cars like these with big V8s and doing my own research, I’ve come to appreciate the different approaches Chevrolet/Dodge/Ford have taken to perform like they do. In the end, they’re providing wonderful unique offers so everyone can find his or her satisfaction.
P.S.: Actually, I'd like to add some words...concerning the Mustang - I'm really enticed by its rumble, its character and the atmosphere it creates. Things that aren’t mathematical facts but for a car like this nevertheless priceless. It’s just that Ford’s price points really suck these days - in a similar spec the Mach1 comes about $12k+ (USD) more than the 2SS 1LE.
Well said, TheShiftKnob. Thanks for watching!
@@AutoAcademics - Was my pleasure.
Love them both and have both a 2019 manual GT and 2021 Manual SS, both great …but different. 😊
DOPE video!!! My twin brother has a 2017 SS we go through the whole Dodge Chevy debate ALL THE TIME....of course I shared it!!! 🤙🏾👊🏾✌🏾
Nice! Thanks for the share and for watching, Todd Watkins!
Big guy, very informative video, & AWESOMELY equipped. I ♥️ Naturally Aspirated engines, & nicely size, manual transmission. Bro, U convinced me. Thanks ,gr8 work.
Chris you did it again. Great review from a Blue Oval to red Bow Tie. Having driven them all, I still prefer the ease of the Camaro. I'll never own a new one because they depreitiate to fast. But the 6.2 LT1 is the value play. Straight line take the Stang, gotta carve a curve, it's Camaro, it's close either way. Thanks for an honest review. I'm really a Pontiac owner, old school GTA & '80 Pace Car. Not close to today's tech.
We truly appreciate that, Rad GGS. These cars are pricey, yet still amazing performance values that can be daily driven. Thanks for watching!
That exhaust at 1:16 is to drool over 🤤🤤
Agreed....😩
Surprisingly, this Camaro's exhaust note isn't that loud, but it sounds great, Miguel Ircontar. The Mustang GT's can be too loud at times. Challenger actually hits the sweet spot IMO, cruising quietly, yet screaming when you get on it. LOL Thanks for watching!
First car was a 2001 mustang v6 second car was a 2015 ss never looked in the direction of a mustang again.. 3rd car was a 2020 ss … 4th car was a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta lol 😪.. 5th car is gonna be a 2022 ss 🎉 waiting for my dealer to contact me when he has an allocation for my order.. can’t wait .. i have crazy love for anything v8 though.. mustangs chargers challengers i love ‘em all!
Definitely a Mustang fella but I do appreciate the level of performance Chevy approved l achieved with this iteration. Really nice to see the manual transmission on this.
Yeah, these are some of the few performance cars that you can still get with a manual transmission, Ben Kromminga. They're fun cars and the performance is truly impressive. We Mustang guys have to stick together, though. LOL Thanks for watching!
Hopefully getting one of these next month if the inventory is there.
Sweet! Thanks for watching, Raven09s!
After checking out both the new Challenger and Camaro for the first time in person, I'm a Camaro guy. It's the most sporty, both looks and function wise, and the most aesthetic over all I feel. Challenger would be the next best looking (even though by not much and really do like they way Challenger looks especially the widebody!) but it is just too big and the interior is no where as good as the Camaro. And finally, never liked the Mustang after the redid the looks for 6th gen.
What? The Mustang is the best, shredlife. Everybody knows the Camaro/Challenger race is for 2nd place. 😂 But in all seriousness, they're all wonderful at what they do and we're just happy they all exist. Thanks for sharing and for watching! #TeamMustang
@@AutoAcademics hahaha, hey, they could have been numero uno 😁😂 And no problem man. Great video!
Pastor and a Mustang Guy all the way. I must admit, Jesus, Family, Lord's work, Mustang, LOL. God bless you Brotherman. Great job as always,Excellent Content.
LOL Love your sequence, Organic Praise Ministry. Thanks for watching!
I'm a Chevy guy. I had a Z28 when I was a kid. I have 14 Camaro now but I sure do like the mustangs and always have but I definitely a Chevy guy
I love the camaro from the interrior. From the outside all 3 are amazing at the sam elevel :D
Camaro is the king! 👍🤴
We see you, Francisco Luiz Ghiggi. Thanks for watching!
I hate challengers but love mustangs and camaros
I have a Challenger 392 with a manual but personally I think the Camaro has better ride and handling. I just always hated the large blind spots.
Yeah, from the inside the view is atrocious, 717 flyer. But outside, it looks pretty good, IMO. The suspension is fantastic. That 392 is no slouch, either. I enjoyed it when I had it for review. Enjoy yours and thanks for watching!
Hey Chris. Great Review. I am Ford guy as well.
We see ya, canonlybeme4life! 👍🏾💪🏾🔥 Thanks for watching!
n-o-w-a you're a chevy guy sir
you were a lil giddy😂😂😂
Ha! Not quite, but we do respect it, Al Capone. Thanks for watching!
Stop complaining about the trunk space and visibility. Is a freaking sports car.
That's what you got from this review, Alejandro Valdivia? 🤦🏾♂️
@@AutoAcademics No. But every you tuber complains about the same thing. No one complains about the visibility in a Lamborghini or the trunk space. Just get a Mini Van.
@@alejandrovaldivia2078 If we had a Lambo for review, we'd mention the cargo space in that, too. It's a car, so we discuss those aspects on every car we review. It's not a big deal if it's small on a performance car like on this Camaro, but we'll still mention it, just like we gripe on economy cars that are slow. They're supposed to be slow for fuel economy, but we won't ignore it.
I love all 3 Challenger, Mustang & Camaro 2SS Thanks! Add Nissan GTR as my last choice.
Noted! Thanks for watching, Dynamite Kid1224!
Black out the wheels mirrors and add the active exhaust and you are good to go.
I’m more of a Jeep guy myself (specifically, Grand Cherokee). I know, completely different vehicle, but I can promise this: if I ever get my hands on a Trackhawk, I’ll show all you Camero and Mustang loyalists what time it is. ⏱👈🤪
We know exactly what you're talking about, XMattingly. Check this out if you haven't seen it yet: th-cam.com/video/iVNEOph_G38/w-d-xo.html
mustang shelby gt500 or camaro zl1?
Nice camaro and great color 👌.
Great review, best part of this car is its fundamentals. Engine and transmission and chassis and handling and ride and brakes. The hard parts. Otherwise, that body which is sexy is so not practical that they don’t even sell as many of these as Challengers. I wish they would redesign it so humans can fit in back for short time, and sight lines are better than a tank’s. When did they go to single outlet tailpipes on each side? I thought it was dual exhaust in each side for total of four, or I should say dual outlets on each side. It’s as though Chevy forgot about its pony car. Too sad.
It's a tough segment, Paul M, because we have to assume development for these pony cars (well, at least the Fords and Chevys) isn't as cheap as it used to be back in the day. Yet, they can't charge 60 or 70 grand for them like the Corvette. Dodge is selling Challengers with brute force, and while more comfortable, they are less refined than the Mustang and Camaro. Love your takes on the Camaro's sightlines. LOL That about sums it up. And we think the only Camaros with the quad exhaust tips are the ZL1s. You gotta earn those extra tips in Chevy-land. They aren't just handed out to anybody. LOL Thanks for sharing and for watching!
How many starts the engine can do basically without breaking?
The dual exhaust on each side is a optional of $895.
Thought this was going to be a haters vid, especially when you mentioned that 4 letter word right away. You did a very good job showing the details. But why are there only 2 pipes on this 2SS and not 4??
We have to keep you on your toes, Spiritual Architect. LOL And you're not the only one who's asked about the missing quad exhaust tips. Someone said that it's an option, but we don't know for sure. We're Ford guys, afterall. We appreciate your comments and thanks for watching!
npp exhaust is an option. quad tips with the ability to go from stealth mode ( quiet) to track mode ( straight pipe.) and two modes in between. modes of suspension and exhaust can be changed per driving modes or set via vehicle setting. a must have option in my opinion. I ordered a 2021 2ss convertible with magnetic ride and dual mode exhaust August 3rd, and received the car in late October. my friend has a 2020 mustang with the p1 package. the cars are damn near identical in my opinion. mines quicker due to being the a10 transmission.
Great review on the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro 2 SS. I have a 2021 Camaro 2SS. The car doesn’t disappoint it’s 455 hp and 455 foot pounds of torque. 0 to 60 and 3.5 seconds. but what can you expect when you have a Corvette engine 6.2 L upfront. 6000 miles on the car and simply guys and girls I’m loving it. It’s a real head turner as I get a lot of luxe and questions from guys and girls at the Camaro car shows. Sorry to hear the Camaro is going away in 2024. I believe GM is already producing a seventh generation Camaro they’re not saying much but I’ve seen concept pictures of what the Camaro will be in the future if GM decides to build it it looks like a mid engine design but I don’t know if GM plans to build a car with a gasoline engine or a electric engine but the way it looks it looks like a Corvette and if they do make a new Camaro to look that way I believe it’ll blow the doors off any Ford Mustang or Dodge Challenger. Thanks again for the nice review have a blessed day everyone. Cruiser.
I had my 2011 Camaro 2SS totaled by a hail storm and was without a car, inventory on V8 manual Camaros was really low so I almost bought a Mustang instead but found one an hour away and bought it sight unseen. It actually has almost the exact options that this one does, including the magnetic ride suspension, although I wish I had the dual mode exhaust as well.
Sorry to hear about your 2011 Camaro, Kenny, but we're sure this newer one will help you forget about it. LOL Congrats and thanks for watching!
Ordered my 2022 RS 3LT convertible last week. Going to take 8 to 12 weeks delivery.... !@#$. It is what it is. But I got the Wild Cherry Tint coat w/ pearl white rally strips. I know it's not an SS but it is still the prettiest damn thing I've ever seen, besides my wife, of course. This is going to be her 50th Birthday present. But you know I'm going to drive the shit out of it!
Ha! Great setup, Jay M. Just don't be mad when she won't let you drive HER car. 😅 Congrats and thanks for watching!
Should of reviewed the 1LE
We review whatever trim Chevy sends us, DC STINGER. Thanks for watching.
Why haven't they put the LT2 in these yet?
Dont regret getting my 2018 2SS in Garnet Red with dual black rally stripes with 20" blacked out wheels. Great car from day one 👌. You soon overcome the visibility issues once you're inside and you press on that accelerator pedal. All three companies are making great cars tho.. just a choice of preference for sure!!!
Totally agree, Curtis Bailey. There are many wonderful choices to be had. Enjoy your 2SS. Sounds like a beauty! Thanks for watching!
Earned a sub. +like! Love it 🙂
We appreciate your support, Armen Dumalagan. Thanks for watching!
Glad to know that your a Ford guy, guess what? My 1st. RC toy was a Ford Mustang GT500 Cobra 2 White with black stripes the one from Charlie's Angels TV series in the 70's Love it! So officially I fell in love with that Mustang plus I saw all 3 in person white with red stripes, white with blue stripes & White in black & white stripes. Now I also see Kitt in Knight Rider TV show in the 80's that Camaro you reviewed is my dream car and so is the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye Widebody. Thank you! 🙂
@@AutoAcademics you're welcome. 🙂
It's also comical that GM puts a heated steering wheel on car equipped with Summer only tires.
Hadn't thought about that, V. 😂 Thanks for watching!
this man has style
Thanks, Elven Ranger! 😎
I enjoyed this review
Thanks for watching, Barlyn Uribe!
Wireless Charging Which Doesn't Work On Modern Sized Phones Lmao
My dream car❤️ one day!🙏🏼
Nice review
Thanks for watching, Shane Chandler!
Mopar ALL DAY Chris!!!
imagine reving it while cold
This is the magic of editing, 2ss Boy. Every car has been idling about 1 hour or so before we even get to the startup and rev clips. And that is after a 3 mile drive to our recording location, so fear not. The car is fine. Thanks for watching.
I am a Mopar guy. Camaros get get more stale and expensive every year. Chevy doesn't have any decent incentives on these either. Time for a full redesign..
We hear ya, ʎɐpsɯoop uoᴉʇɐɹǝdO. Funny thing is, the Chevy is possibly the newest out of the 3 pony cars. They all have their high and low points, though, and as long as you're happy that's all that matters. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
@@AutoAcademics Agreed LOL a 2021 challenger is identical to a 2015 which was only a refresh from the original 2008 and most of us MOPAR guys don't even care. I think GM should have left Camaro alone after 2013 and just evolved it.
Which mustang was as comfortable?
The Bullitt was the most comfortable, Warren J. Goss, Jr. Not sure if it was AS comfortable, but it was the most comfortable of the Mustangs I've review over the past few years. Ford's Performance Pack 2 is fantastic if you're young and plan on tracking the car from time to time, but for daily driving, it got to be a bit much for me. Thanks for watching!
Chevy 👍🏾👏🏾
We see ya, David Wilson! Thanks for watching!

We see ya, David Allen. Thanks for watching!
@@AutoAcademics you the man I've supported you channel for some time now. That's my dream job I always wanted to do auto reviews, and I always loved mustang's.
@@davidallen7776 We appreciate you!
these camaros wipe the floor with those pos s550 mustangs..the chassis is way way better and so is the suspension.
having owned an s550 i would say forget those. you sit on the mustang. you sit in the camaro
For the love of bacon get the six speed manual nobody cares the automatic is a tiny bit faster on the track the manual has more horsepower does not SAP HP like with the auto slush box you aren’t gonna be able to get a six speed manual for many more years they will go up in value they are more fun automatic drives you manual you drive the car done
Yeah Ford all day when it comes to horsepower...only the Vette ZL1 would pull me away for a short period.
Yeah, baby. The Camaro ZL1 is a beast. Sure would be nice if Chevy sent us one of those. LOL And I'd surely take the new Vette over any of these "lesser" cars. As always, thanks for watching, bbrownasu!
Chris, leave it to you to not let your personal bias affect your review. This Chevy guy thinks that you were quite balanced. I'm far too old to let my taste cause me to be a "fanboy". Live and let live. LOL.
LOL There's no time to be a fanboy, Ron LHeureux. Life is too short and there are too many great cars to drive. None of them are perfect, but when you find one with more pros than cons on your list, the rest is easy. And fun. As always, thanks for watching!
You talk about the backseat are you serious, the Mustang backspace isn't any bigger. What are you talking about dude..
Chris mentioned that the Mustang's backseat isn't great, either, but he's never hit his head on the headliner of a current-gen Mustang, which is the point he was making. Guess you missed that, DejaVu 32.

We see you, Gilbert Ah Sam. Thanks for watching!
Hemi's rule
Hell yeah 💪🏼😎
We hear ya, Peter Boissiere. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
The lack of visibility is deal breaker for me and infotainment graphics look dated. The new Corvette is cool, tho, but other than that Ford Mustang is way better as far as coupes go.
The visibility isn't an issue at all really. You get used to it real quick, just position your mirrors correctly and you're good to go.
Visibility is the biggest issue, Eric Hampton. You do get used to it, but it's an issue. The C8 Corvette has the same issues (possibly worse?), but I'd still buy one of those in a heartbeat. LOL GM's infotainment system works fairly well across the board so I wouldn't let that deter me. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Mopar!
We see you, KingOfSorrow 1217. Thanks for watching!
Mustang all day
We see you, Mallory Matthews! Thanks for watching!
