There are four ways to tell that a 2020 Chevrolet Camaro LT1 is not to be trifled with. The hood vents signal the presence of a 455-horsepower V8, as does the rumble emanating from the dual exhaust system. Brembo front brake calipers are another sign, as are the LT1 badges on each front fender. Otherwise, it looks like a car you’d rent during a honeymoon trip to Hawaii-minus the convertible top.
This approach appeals to the introvert in me. I like to go fast and have fun, but I hate advertising it. My test car’s Satin Steel Gray paint, plain gray cloth seats, and sparkly silver rather than gray or black 20-inch wheels represent visual perfection in my book. No speedy Camaro about to break several traffic laws over here, officer.
So here’s the deal with the Camaro LT1. Chevy takes a Camaro 1LT (not confusing at all) and bolts in a 6.2-liter V8 making 455 hp and 455 pound-feet of torque. Then it adds a limited-slip rear differential, 4-piston Brembo front brakes, a performance-tuned suspension, and a set of 20-inch wheels. The end result is a car that can get to 60 mph in about 4 seconds and scream down the quarter-mile in about 12.5 seconds.
The beauty of any modern Camaro, though, is the car’s basis on General Motors’ Alpha platform. Engineered to serve beneath the Cadillac ATS and CTS, luxury sport sedans charged with taking on Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, the Alpha platform’s inherent dynamism transforms the Camaro into something more than a traditional American muscle car. And that means it can tackle a twisty road just as capably as it can accelerate in a straight line.

This isn't a "sleeper," it looks fast and is fast whereas a sleeper doesn't look fast but is fast.
The 4 banger looks fast also.
Yeah I was about to comment in the comment section about this but yours fits this is just not a sleeper especially with the name Camaro behind it XD
Yeah my Audi S5 is a sleeper especially now that it's Stage 2 with 460hp although it's not considered affordable for a new one however mine used was 24k and is a convertible and I probably put in about 3k to make it stage 2 so essentially it is still cheaper than this Camaro.
Magowin any Audi with an S badge is also not a sleeper. They come with supercharged engines. If it was an A4 with a Stage 2-3 APR then it would have been considered a sleeper.
al The term sleeper is something that looks like a normal everyday car that one wouldn’t think it is fast by looking at it. There is virtually no visual difference between the A & S badge Audi’s besides the badge itself the RS badge Audi’s are where visually the body is wider. If one were to take the S badge off no one would know it’s an S. You can’t take any badge off of a Camaro it still looks like a Camaro therefore it’s not considered a sleeper. Another example of this is a Ford Taurus SHO that too was a sleeper it looked like any other Taurus visually except for what was under the hood & chassis.
Ford guy here, and I'm digging the LT1. I actually prefer the frontend of this over the SS. Still think the ZL1 is the best looking, and probably the best performance bargain in the world.
Totally agree! I bought one because of how much better the front end looks than the SS. Plus the price is hard to beat.
100% agreed dude
@Wes Foulds I have as well, but that's because I drive mostly Fords. Most of the issues I've had were my fault though, like not doing routine maintenance and simply driving them too hard. The most miles I've ever got out of a vehicle were in a Ford, 2004 Econoline, 797,000 miles and the motor is still in amazing condition. That being said, I'm still getting a Camaro.
@@InuranusBrokoff you can't go wrong with either Mustang or a Camaro. As an old school Camaro guy, I prefer the dohc.
@@squidusn71 It's a good time to be a automotive enthusiast; there is just so much good stuff right now.
Get the 6-speed. It’s more fun.
My favorite of the treo is Camaro.
"Hard and fast on twisty mountain roads" sold me
Those plastic kneepads are supposed to pop off easily. I put the leather ones from a higher trim Camaro in mine and it makes a huge difference in the interior
I wanted to do that in my 2018, only if I could get the upper door ones too. Chevy doesn't sell those separately. Anywho, I traded in the car.
Lol, I just bought a Camaro 1SS last week and had no idea that those plastic panels were removable; But then again I haven’t had a chance to ride in my passenger seat yet. Either way, we learn something new everyday
31k for a 4 cylinder no thank you LT-1 it is
It’s $25k (base) for the turbo 4
this car is for speed and power, its a hot rodders car, and hot rodders dont care for interiors much, all we need is the the LT1 and a 10 speed
If I see this man drive around that same swirly corner 1 more time I’m actually gonna lose my mind
This is the perfect Camaro. Beautiful color on this test car as well.
lol I love how he said "you can't stomp on the pedal or the rear end gets squirrely". That's half the fun lol.
Thanks, your review was great, I’ve been thinking about buying a personal car just for me and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money, you’ve answered a lot of my questions. We already own a 5.0 2017, but my wife drives it most of the time, so this Camaro comes in right on time. Once again I say Thank You
You did a great job Chris, i enjoyed the video. Keep it up man.
Thanks!!! I have a 2017 2 Lt convertible. I love it!!! So much fun to drive!!!
Sleeper, defined by this channel as a car that every motorhead in the world knows the exact specs of.
Just putting "LT1" on the fender in that sweet emblem is a HUGE hit. Nostalgic. Wish the SS had the same type of Heritage labeling ..... old school. ...... like the "392" Challenger.
This is nice. Basic and clean.
As a die hard Pontiac fan who loves to drive my '91 GTA, I've been in search of a technology replacement. Your review is spot-on. But as an investment, all of the big3 are poor. Like you I like all three for different reasons. But this LT1 may be the bang for the buck.
The Chevy's v6 sounds amazing. The mustang hpp is awesome in every way, and the Dodge cruises like no other. You can't go wrong with any trim level, and this is a second golden age of cars.
Just got my ordered zl1 10 sp auto in wild 🍒 cherry two weeks before production stopped. Only about 65 estimated built for 2021 in that model and color. I love my brute on 4 wheels.
Um you don’t have to applaud Chevy for including a back up camera, it’s required equipment for ALL new cars from 2018+
Thank you patriot excellent comontery sir stay blessed
Informative and concise review 👍🏽
In fairness to Chevrolet those trim pieces aka knee pads are also sold as interchangeable accessories in different colors/materials, therefore they are made to pop out relatively easily.
1 got a 2018 1ss and I love my interior. But I got bigger infotainment screen and tech package on gauge cluster
It’s a sleeper to the small engine challenger and mustang crowd that think you’re driving a v6 camaro. I just bought a LT1 and that has been the crowd that seems to want a challenge every time I drive it.
You couldn’t have explained it any better
You can add a little more aggressive appearance to the LT1, If you want to take out some of the "sleeper " by adding the RS option along with Redline addition. Redline adds black wheels along with those red accents, and spoiler will be black. RS will give you those nice clear but smoked tail lights. Add red paint to those front Brembo breaks. And make sure to have the Duel mode exhaust. It will Also look just like my LT1 (2021). Thats what I have, same color as this LT1 in video. But I have an 8" display screen. technology package
I picked up an LT1 in riverside blue for 37k with the technology package, 20 inch polished forged aluminum rims, bose audio, dual mode exhaust, and red seat belts. I had a Challenger R/T before. I loved that car as well, but the Camaro is much better around turns.
@Ani It really depends. Mine came with a lot of options for an LT1 and they gave me a solid deal on it. The sticker price was $44k but I talked them down.
The Camaro is stunning, and will be very much missed.
I love my Camaro 2020 SS
"sleeper"
"Camaro"
never thought i'd see that adjective being used to describe a Camaro...
The LT1 model in particular is a sleeper because on the exterior it has a V6 bumper and no front and rear badging that the other V8s all get.
Like all 4 brands but I love camaros
The lt1s are cool. I'm glad it's out cause that's a heck of an engine for that price. Was hoping this would help the Camaro sales numbers and here we are with the Rona. Chevy should have released this same time they did the 6gen Camaro
Awesome Car!
This is suspicious that you recommend this to me right after I searched this car on your site
Nice car
I really like this version of the Camaro . The LT1 is the one to get now. 34k, that's a great value equation. The interior is a little cheap and bland imo. But performance is friggin spot on.
Impressive
For 2021 at least you’ll need to add the tech package to get the Bose audio.
Camaros are my all time favorite sports cars but I drove a new Dodge with a hemi and I was sold I can finally afford either one and I'm going with the 392 srt8 challenger baby
Those 392's are nice, but they are heavy man. You can just feel all that weight, plus reliability with Dodge is a little questionable.
Lloyd Hudson reliability with Chevy is questionable
@@connor2474 I'll take my chances with a Chevy. I sold both Chevy vehicles and Dodge, I saw more people complaining in service at Dodge by far.
AS long as the GM doesn't have electrical issues you should be ok.
However the heavy comment is spot on. I have an old 09 Mustang that's modded and with the same HP I'm going right by you. It's going to surprised the amount of cars still quicker than you.
I just googled the C8's total amount of cargo space, 12.6 cubic feet. 😄😄
Bro you can fit two suitcases but only one person travels 😂😂😂
It's a sports car, but you want the safety features of a family sedan. LOL
Charger all the way but when it comes to the coupes...I really dig the Camaro 🤭
Excellent review.
I have to agree with you, all are very good at what they do.
I just like the looks of the Camaro better.
My last two Fords left a very Very bad taste in my mouth. No more Fords for me.
The Challenger is a strong contender though.
I think this guy might have more in common with my wife when it comes to car preferences than me......she drives an Odyssey.
Actually the most expensive Camaro in the market isn’t the ZL1 Convertible. Don’t forget about the 2020 Camaro ZL1/1LE now available with 10SpeedAuto hehe But I do wanna see this Camaro in person. I got the 2019 Camaro 2SS myself hehe
2 words: extended warranty!!😳
Was there any info about prices? (Or I missed it)
This design should have taken place before the 2016-2018 and it probably wouldn't get as bad feedback from the look.
As a owner of a ZL1 I DO NOT APPROVE THIS MESSAGE LOL
i will own this car in less than 2 years.
those tasty U.S. prices...
Challanger for cool and retro factor
My 2013 was stolen from me last month smh I loved that camaro I looked at a 18 ot was nice but the interior was bland with no attitude my favorite years is from 10to 13 I love the tail lights on them years
How does your car get stolen
@@kiwizlucks4947 someone breaks into it and drives off with it leaving an empty driveway....lol
jrvbamafan1 I said that wrong, I meant “how did it” just curious.
Unfortunately the price on these is out of hand here in canada, a base v8 one is 45000 dollars here
Alessio M ...that is the equivalent of $33,750 usd
These are 100k plus in Australia... 🤣🤣
Very cool, but I thought that GM was going to cancel the new Camaro? I know that its not being built up here in Canada in Oshawa? I'm in Hamilton. Great video
Production for this generation is in Lansing, Michigan
@@nthgth hello and good morning Bryan hope all is well? Thanks for the info, that sucks for us Canadians and the auto workers near the plant where there used to make that car :-(. But I'm glad that GM is still making that model, but wanted its twin model to be still be made the firebird/Trans am, now that one was my favorite car growing up as a kid especially after seeing smokey and the bandit movie
I have a 2010 Camaro RS-SS 🇺🇸
I installed Cooks Long Tube Headers and Borla exhaust system.
My car has been bulbulletproof .
Why did they stop using the LS Motor in the new Camaros?
Because the LT is the new "LS". It's a generational update to the Gen IV small block.
New lt is basically an ls with direct injection
"Cialis substitute"
I like this guy I need more of him.
Gayyyyyyy
Oh myyy.. hahaha
I wish GM developed an AWD version of the Camaro, even if it's with the turbo 4!
AladdinSaneNYC your only option for that would be the Challenger GT.
Why AWD?
@@Tyrant96 if Dodge could do it with the Challenger then why not, idiot. It would make the Camaro much more manageable in the snowy northeast.
This is what dark horse Mustang looking like. Wow
Lol @ sleeper
Camaro, a _sleeper_ ? What are y’all smoking I want some.
Sleeper? Huh??? A sleeper is the 2004 forester xt with a manual transmission. The Camaro is not a sleeper
As a guy like me who is about 50, why recommend the turbo 4 for cheaper insurance? I pay $560 for 6 months premium for my 2015 Mustang GT & 2017 Forester 2.0 xt.
Thats cheap i may twice of that on my porsche its crazy the mustang gt is a hell if a bargain i put an order for a 2020 corvette
The last or next to last Camaro.
Good looking car.....are the rumors about the short lifespan of GM transmissions true?
Jack The Skunk no
Sleeper Camaro?
Ortega highway?
?
But can we get super cruise though
The front end seems to grin....mischeivous.... like it ate a pet
C’mon Car Gurus... y’all of all people ought to know what the definition of a sleeper is, your business cars.
Makes me wonder if finding stuff on your site can sometimes be difficult because of mistakes on your end, rather than mine.
The LT1 model in particular is a sleeper because it has a V6 front end and no front or rear badging that all the other V8 models get.
looks better than the new vette
Exactly!!! People have been lobbying me to get the corvette, which I think is hideous. I hate the ass of the Charger and Ford ruined the front of the mustang. Will have to check this out.
You would think that Chevrolet would offer a premium interior option!
It does
I prefer the v6 engine
you recommend the slowest car that's more expensive than the LT1 trim...k
"craptastic interior". Wow, how professional.
How can a Camaro be a sleeper if it's a muscle car? A sleeper is a car that doesn't look fast but actually is like putting some kind of super engine in a mini van
The camaro isnt a muscle car, muscle cars are by definition midsized sedans with drivetrains borrowed from full sized cars.
The point of this car is that it resembles the 4 and 6 cylinder cars while packing the V8 power, making it a sleeper.
@@DrewLSsix 🤔
I've always viewed
Camaro
Mustang
And challengers
To all be muscle cars cuz they LOOK like one...
Long 2 doors with a stick shift...
Middle car...
A muscle car is supposed to be based on mundane cars and retain the mundane version's utility. Charger 392 is a perfect example. Doesn't really apply to Camaro or Mustang though.
_Not to be confused with_ American muscle, which just means that it's powered by an awesome V-8 (and it's American branded) which absolutely does apply to all these cars.
Could this car handle a supercharger like an SS?
The powertrain is identical to an SS. The suspension is identical. The only difference is the rear tires are 1" narrower and the rear brakes aren't quite as good. The front brakes are the same. So, yes.
Given the IIHS crash test scores for the Challenger, I'm not so sure this is necessarily right for a family. And given its "mediocre" rated structure, it's no wonder there's no drop top Challenger!
Well, this is a Camaro not a Challenger, soooo....
a sleeper car??
Chris, you didn't mention one of the biggest advantages of the Camaro. You can drive it with blinders on (like a racehorse). Given the visibility provided by the stock Camaro the blinders won't limit your visibility anymore than usual.
Sleepers are sedans or hatches that are plain Jane looking like a S3, Golf R , coupes do not make good sleepers especially a Camaro or Mustang
He doesn't know what a sleeper is
3lt 1le v6 manual with Recaro seats, $37k....more fun than burning wheel in LT1? Probably not??
Hate the front end on these. They should have stuck with the 2016 lt front. Looks so much better and meaner. Love everything else.
think of it as a late 90s or 2000s corvette you are paying for speed what do you expect for under 40k
Lol calling camaro a sleeper. I do understand the inline 4 version is not that fast but its still not a sleeper.
Instead of them giving it an entirely new name, why didn't the just split the Rally Sport into two different versions : The *RS-6* (V-6) and the *RS-8* (V-8) .
Well That’s true, But keep in mind there’s 2 SS. 2SS being with all the Bells and Whistle. So, kinda smart doing this instead
Can you fit 4 adults in a Camaro?
Sure, but you need to take 2 adults out.
Somebody who drives this car should not need all that safety crap. If you do need that safety crap buy a car that isn't a performance car, like a Nissan Rogue, that is the perfect car for somebody like that and that's the type of car they deserve to drive.
This car went through like 500 facelifts.
The challenger only went through 1
Challenger feels like a real man's car
@@jfresher925 Heavy af? lol
I'd like to see a mid engine camaro with the 4 banger turbo to go along with the corvette.
No peel outs? How are you gonna own a sports car and not drive it how it’s meant to be driven. Might as well buy a V6 or the turbo 4 cylinder
Ya, this guy's a twat waffle! 🙄
They may be 20s, but those tires look really narrow.
Steven D That’s one of the only downsides to the LT1 as opposed to the SS. In the SS, you get a staggered wheel setup with 245s in the front and 275s in the rear; the LT1 has 245s all around. I imagine that must hamper the car’s ability to put down the power, at least to an extent
Camaro isn't really a sleeper car since people know that it's a fast car
No, this car isn't as luxurious or as meticulously built as a Benz or a BMW. It doesn't cost like one either. The suspension and drivetrain is where GM chose to spend the money.
GM advertisement ?
I will never understand how people so willingly go into this much debt. We need to put more emphasis on econ/finance in this country. Cool car though.
I leased a 2020 LT1 for $460/mo. sign and drive 15k miles/year. Same cost of ownership as a crappy used car. Finance 101, when you have depreciating asset like a car, LEASE it. Unfortunately what most people do is put a few thousand down and finance it for 72 months with a $700/month payment. When it is paid off it is only worth $10,000 bucks and needs repairs and maintenance. When I'm done in 3 years I drop it off and walk away.
Kinda don’t like the wheels 😬
