I love it, I've had plenty of F-bodys and still even today. These really are outstanding in so many ways, although they've gotten a bit expensive. At the same time it's a lot of car for the money, they have always been an incredible bang for the buck. Lastly, I honestly don't care what GM does with the design, I trust them. I just hope Chevrolet continues to make them.
I just bought one last week. An SS in 'Orange Crush'. I took it to a friend who changed out the air intake with a larger one. Then dialed it in & now instead of 450 horsepower I get 510! Even tho the Challenger scat cat is a 6.4 liter to my 6.2 I've taken it (Challenger) down every single time!!! It does however, suck the gas!!
Yeah, but the Challenger weighs 800 pounds more than the Camaro....put 800 pounds into the Camaro, then see what happens.......Camaro weighs 3650, Challenger is about 4450....the hemi will always make more power.....the cross port cylinder heads on the Dodge are way superior.
@@wcgold2 Put your money into buying a home first,before a expensive car. Cars come and go and you lose on them. Homes tend to gain value and almost never lose money.
Sarah, you need to go motor racing. Accept the inevitability. You want to go racing. Also the vids you could make with a camera in the cabin while you narrate the action would be epic.
@@SarahnTuned There are many small and amateur racing series around the country, including club level. Only need basic safety equipment to get started. I'm sure you can find one local to you

I’m thinking about getting a 2016-2020 Camaro & wasn’t considering the V8, just the V6 w/ the 8 speed automatic. But the duel mode exhaust is non-negotiable. The part where the screen turned red was hilarious😂. You give it da beans girl!
Enjoyed driving a rental Camaro SS convertible in Tucson so much, that when I got home I traded in my Euro car for a new Corvette (Manual Transmission). True story. Chevy makes fun stuff these days.
I love the energy you exude when you test a really fast car. Great review, oh some of that road noise might be those sticky meats that car has. Stay safe Sarah.
Would absolutely love to see an all new Camaro! This is also why I'm a big fan of the 4th gen, which is so radically different than its predecessors, and so modern with its design direction. Would love to see GM take the Camaro into the future with a clean sheet design. 👍
Drove one a few days ago for my job. Last person to rent it left it in sport mode and when I mashed the go pedal, that thing got LOUD. I still can't believe the LT1 holds TEN quarts of 0W40 motor oil. Car is fun to drive.
And sadly everyone under 6’7” that drives it looks like a little kid from outside GM really does need to address the issues of the body because the powertrain is on point and kicks ass
Great review, Sarah. I really enjoyed the sound of that V--8 engine, as you were giving it the beans! I sure hope the penguin didn't suffer carbon monoxide poisoning, after being subjected to that blast of exhaust. Keep up the great work.
My last 4 cars: 2014 Mustang GT track pack manual. 2015 Mustang GT performance pack manual. Then I test drove a 2017 Camaro SS 6 speed and was done. I drove it 3 years and 45,000 miles, two HPDE events, once to the dragstrip. I just traded it in 2 weeks ago for a 2020 Camaro SS 1LE 6 speed in rally green metallic. It is just unbelievable. I did some power mods to my 17 Camaro just a few months ago, which I regret for two reasons. One, because I didn't get squat for them on trade. Two, my new one feels slow, which means I'll have to spend that money again!! If you haven't driven the 1LE version, it will mess you up. If your heart was racing in the regular SS, wait til you drive a 1LE. Note: 6 speed manual only.
I drove my 2016 2SS from Chicago to all over California and back 6,300 miles and averaged 32MPG with a high of 43MPG on a 200 mile leg. This has been the best car I have ever owned and I've owned 16.
I agree with the styling comment. I'm a baby boomer and Camaros, Mustangs, Chargers, etc. were some of the hottest cars when I was young but now they look old. I don't want retro styling. I want something with modern performance and looks state of the art! These cars were state of the art 40 years ago. The new Corvette is a step in the right direction. GM, Ford, Dodge, Etc. you need to build exotic looking cars for the younger generation and make them want cool cars or just build Prius clones.
Infotainment?thats a tracking device.I was going to trade my heavily modded 04 Bmw m3 for a 2018 SS1LE but when I learned that the infotainment system could be used as a tracking device I declined.I asked if I could order the car and delete the system they said it couldn't be done.The M3 is still with me it looks like I'll be buying an 09 G8gt 6sp with 30,000 mls.
The retro look is what excited people about these cars. Then they got serious about horse power! If any redesign I'd love to see it based on the second gen Camaros
That’s just awesome 😎. It’s such a lovely sounding car 🚗. The touchscreen tilting, could that be to stop sunlight hitting the screen 📺? I have to get me one of those. As always epic vid me darling as always, keep up the great 👍 work. Hugs 🤗 💋
I reckon it does, considering that it’s the engine and transmission working together that makes it sound so totally incredible shifting. Seriously Listen to a Ford, Chevy, or Pontiac V-8 with a high lift cam in it, 4 barrel carb in it, I forgot which carburetors sound best, and perform best, Holley? (It’s majorly high maintenance) just idling- and see if it like doesn’t make you want to put it in a music studio, mic it, and record it. Then, drive that sucker, and let me know what you think, hey? Give me the score, hey? I ain’t lying...😸😸😸😸
That throwback version back in the days was looking that much better. Reasonable, only Dodge did it the right way.....producing the challenger since now 13 years and still looking that good.
Currently have a ZL1 which has the same trunk. Great car but if I had to do it all over again probably get the SS. Having a naturally aspirated engine is great and the SS has plenty of power for street and track.
Totally agree, Sarah, time for a complete exterior redesign. Otherwise, awesome car for the money. Seats didn’t work for me, or I’d be driving one. Thanks for the great review as always. You drove the beans out of that one, impressive. Only 3 beans for straight line performance? Love your reviews, keep ‘em coming!
I hate the word INFOTAINMENT. Cool! You're almost there. 2021 Z71 Suburban or Tahoe next OR the diesel versions. ROOMY, LS, FULL FRAME, REAR DRIVE. BOOM DONE!! ;)
My wife has the LT1 just like you pictured and we love it! We didn't get the upgraded sound system (Bose like in the SS) and I will say that is a must if you are going to get an LT1 camaro.
I agree Sarah, GM (along with Ford and Dodge) needs to do a complete redesign on the Camaro (Mustang and Challenger) so it doesn't look like an old school musclecar. However, they're worried that the 40-50 year old men won't buy them if they look like a modern sports coupe.
@@genericdenizen1 Well steam engines are great as well, we moved on from them just like the rest of the world moved away from pushrod engines. There is always to place in museums for antiquated technology.
@@tomquimby8669 one could argue the internal combustion engine itself as a whole is antiquated, but it's still around and rules the automotive market. Yeah pushrod engines are old tech, but current designs are pretty darn efficient, and reliable as well.
Been a Mustang fan my whole life but I have to say the interior and feel of the Camaro is so much better. However...the blind spot from the front pillars is insane, the head unit points downwards for some strange reason and the trunk needs a wider opening because although you "could" fit suitcases in there, you cant because of the way the trunk is designed. Besides that though...such an amazing vehicle.
I swear, I've been to over 200 abandoned warehouses, and all of them are abandoned. None of them have Sarah. SMH, can't wait to meet up one day. Till then I'll keep checking random abandoned warehouses.
You still can’t see out the damn things but this made me want to at least test drive one. If it could just have the visibility it wouldn’t even be a question as to an ss or the gt.
My neighbor across the road has a 1971 Camaro that looks like bumblebee. It's yellow and has the 327 V8. Personally I like the new look and the 1969 look.

Good review. They did a lot right with this car.
Four 🍪 only showed three. Big fan of this car also. It was noisey comming through the mic I agree. Nice burn out.

Its about time both Mustang and Camaro change their retro look and come up with a fresh look. Its time to get creative and forget the past for once.
