Last June I found a 2022 SS 1LE with a manual with 3100 miles just 30 miles from my house.The owner traded it in at a Cadillac dealer for a Blackwing. I bought it on the spot, cost $50k out the door. These cars were getting hard to find at the time so I didn’t argue. I can’t even find one for sale now. The car is fantastic. Needs no upgrades except maybe a change from run flat tires when the time comes. A Mach1 with track package would have been $65k in 2023. I am so glad I found my SS 1LE. I couldn’t be happier with it.
I have the 2023 SS with the 10 speed automatic. It is no slouch. Shove the pedal to the floor and the car will bang out redline shifts as fast as it can make them. Incredible!
Its an incredible car for the money. I purchased a well optioned non 1LE version with a manual and Recaros. I have been enjoying upgrading the car a little at a time as my budget allows.
I got a 2016 Camaro 2SS convertible and what chervelot calls their "Blackout Edition" and I love it so much, It's a 10 speed Automatic, and when I say that 10 speed auto is smooth as butter I mean it is smooth as butter. My favorite thing is driving with the top down and hearing the exhaust, It's so beautiful :)
Nice congratulations good job on getting it with the six speed manual... one of the best gear boxes I have driven in my life The tremec transmission in the camaros are exceptional.
The Camaro is King. I have a 22 Camaro SS and it has been the most fun ride I have ever had. Interesting to hear the cars you compared the Camaro too. BMW I cam see but the Porsche never saw that coming...good review
Owned a 92' and 94', I traded in the 92' since it was one of last built in the Van Nuys CA factory and was truly a piece of junk. I did like my 94' much better but I had the V6 and it was pitifully under powered. I was hoping Chevy would update the Camaro to resemble the 94' styling since I really liked that look more than the other years. Sorry to see Camaro go!
Right! I have a 93 V6 and I love the style. Underpowered yes but a good cruiser. Had an 84 Z28 and a 74 with a 327 from a 69 Stingray. Still I like the outgoing Camaros. GM made a mistake killing it. Long live The Camaro!
Well done and informative review. Very nice car. Hold onto that bad boy. How is the Tremec transmission, is it intrusive with the skip shift from 1st to 4th gear?
I had a 2023 1ss with the 6 speed, I still wish I never sold that car, but ended up buying a 2016 (first year of this body style) 2ss with a 6 speed. If My ass aint in a camaro ss that will be the day I die.
I still kick myself for not buying a new 1LE that I test drove in 2016. It was an amazing machine in the beautiful Hyper Blue color for $40K. One of my biggest regrets to this day.
I'm seriously considering a 1LE, myself but I'm almost wondering if it's _too_ much for the street? I feel like by the time you get out of 2nd gear, you're already going 2x the speed limit or more.. I might change my mind after a test drive, though.
How would you compare this to the m240i? What about buying a gr86 and supercharging/turbocharging it? I like the camaro ss but am considering the m240i and gr86 as well
I would go for a manual Camaro over the m240i. If you care more about luxury finishes, go for the m240i. The Camaro has gearing much more similar to Porsche, so it feels like it has way more top end power. BRZ is pretty low-rent, feels more like a Hyundai with how crappy the material quality is. It’s a fun car but you’ll always want more. That’s how I felt in my BMW’s, I was constantly looking for something more. The best thing you could do is to test drive a V8 Camaro, m240i, m340i xdrive, older M2, Audi S5, Civic Type R. You can find a lot of these cars around. Carmax and Turo are your friend.
@@hhastewell the Dodge Chargers were going all in on EV, but after the kick back they decided against it so the 2024 model will have an gas powered 6 cylinder. Which may sound a little weak sauce but considering most companies are phasing out the 8 cylinders I’d consider them muscle cars for the time.

My SS has magnetic ride. I am very impressed at how well the vehicle remains composed on any road conditions.

That’s awesome my friend!
I have a 2022 Camaro LT1 with the T6 transmission. The car is just a blast to drive
Yeah it’s totally rad. Far and away the best value high HP sports car that’s been made in the last 30 years.

@@warddc that 10 speed will beat me 9 times out 10. Awesome car man!!

Muscle cars aren't going to be around much longer. Glad you got one before they go extinct.
Thanks, me too
Getting one in 6 months🙏🏽

It’s a lot of history to go off into the abyss. Sad

Yep, but it’s a heck of a send off. There’s almost nothing they could do to make it better.

I 100% agree with you in this car. And if you want to try a Lotus try to find a 410 exige from 2020. It has a 3.5L V6 with a supercharger!
I would love to get my hands on an Exige.
@@revnation_auto Me to man. But i don't live in America so they are harder to find. But maybe one of you're subscribers has one or a local dealer.
I has 17 ss 6 speed and regret getting rid of it everyday!
Get yourself another one mate!
I still kick myself for not buying a new 1LE that I test drove in 2016. It was an amazing machine in the beautiful Hyper Blue color for $40K. One of my biggest regrets to this day.
Sounds like a beauty
I just recently picked up a 2021 2ss 9k miles with mag ride, npp exhaust & sunroof with red interior for 50K out the door was this a good deal?
If you had to own this car with the automatic transmission, would you still buy it?
I would, there’s still nothing else that matches the performance for the money.
I love my 2023 2SS
I'm seriously considering a 1LE, myself but I'm almost wondering if it's _too_ much for the street? I feel like by the time you get out of 2nd gear, you're already going 2x the speed limit or more.. I might change my mind after a test drive, though.
If you’re going track it, I’d go 1LE. If you’re just wanting to rip around, SS is more than enough. I’d try to find one with Magnetic ride.

Chevy owes you some money. You sold this Camaro 😂💪🏾🙏🏾
Big mistake?
should I buy a camaro as my first car or its too late?
It’s not too late, I’d suggest getting one before 2025
@@braidonericksen9 okay thank for the advise
Go for it, tons of used ones out there as well as new ones
Not too late my man, I just got a 2019 2SS for my first car a few weeks ago
It looks OK, but I feel like these kind of cars are on their way out....
Well, 2024 is the final year, until they bring out the next gen but I'm worried it's going to be an EV. A hybrid, at the very least.
@@hhaste who knows at this point... It went from all in on EV's to hold off... The future is in limbo

I can't stand that cheap ass screen that they put in there. It looks like a toy.
Camaro is a great car but it’s no where near a super car in any metric. Let’s be real.
The Camaro isn’t trying to be a super car
@@devastator_1985 I know. In the video he referenced it as being comparable.
@@AB-coyote it's basically a heavy corvette.... so yea...
