6th generation Camaros are what every enthusiast on the internet wants in a sports car, but often won't put their money where their mouths are and even pick up a used one. You're gonna miss them when they're gone. Glad I got mine
For my first car, I had saved enough to fully buy a 2014-15 camaro ss but then insurance wanted to get 1400$ a month from me cause first car, I ended up buying a miata lol. still paying 300$ a month for insurance.
totally agree! Performance per dollar the 6th gen SS is the best option out there, maybe I'm a little biased cause I own one, but the amount of attention this cars get both online and offline it's crazy!
As a Mustang guy through and through, objectively, I have to say that these Camaros are pure driving machines. They'll never eclipse my love for the stang, but damn do they sound amazing!
@@tommydevine9993 I respect your objective opinion. In turn, as a Camaro guy, I would never buy a Mustang out of principle, but I have to admit the sound from a 5.0 exhaust is the best of the big three muscle cars
@@averagebro413 As someone who went from Toyota 86 to a Mustang GT (non pp) I get it. The mustang GT you can’t smoothly carry speed in a corner because of the tremendous weight transfer that goes on in tandem with the soft stock suspension. I driven the 1le and with the push rod being placed so low it doesn’t swing weight much in corners and it allows you to carry momentum corner to corner.
@@XavierEyez I came from the 86 platform as well, I had a 2013 brz for 3 years and then 2019 86 for a year, I traded the 86 in for an ss 1le in September. I was amazed at how well it handles, it's such an amazing piece of machinery lol
@@CJ-zz9ts With the current generation of camaros (ie 6th generation camaros that started in 2016), there really are not any long term known issues with them. There was an issue with the 8 speed automatic transmission (that got replaced with a 10 speed automatic transmission in 2019), but I have not heard of any serious issues with the manual transmission versions. I spend a lot of time on the camaro6 forum, and there are some minor issues here and there, but nothing serious. I would say the reliability is quite good. But only time will tell after ten years or so.
@M D I am 34. Just got a house last year, and my camaro two months ago. Keep saving, this car is worth every penny. It brings a smile to my face every time I am behind the wheel.
Good gracious...that sounds amazing. There’s very little that can compete with a V8, 6 gears, and GM’s Alpha chassis, which is why I’m so looking forward to the new CT5-V Blackwing manual.
The review sums up how good the 6th gen really is. I have a 2020 lt1 and have successfully driven it without issue year round and i currently live in alaska. For winter you just need a good set of snow tires. preferably studded.
Thanks Chris, really fun review. I've never really appreciated Camaros until now. But as a Miata owner (had my first-gen on the road before official introduction) my ears perked up when you said big Miata. It just looks and sounds like a lot of fun, and surprisingly--to me--refined. Anytime you want to make fun, "optional" reviews like this, I'm all for it. I'm a big fan, keep it up!
I was hoping the same...hoping the market goes back to pre pandemic prices but it seems we may be stuck with higher prices for a few years... couldn't wait any longer. I got my used 17 Camaro SS for 34k with 36k miles...2 years ago could have been in the high 20sK.
2019+ model years get even better downshifts because they tuned in extra backfire on decel, I've gotten my car to pop for 10 seconds straight on a 3-2 downshift. Bet the cars behind me didn't appreciate it as much as I did, though.
Throttle response is very intuitive and makes it so easy to blip the throttle for downshifts. Clutch feedback is direct, forgiving, and doesn’t spring out forcefully like some high torque capacity clutches. I wish other cars I owned had a similar clutch.
Really great review as always Chris! I actually watched this right before getting a 2021 2SS LE with the 6-Speed Manual a few weeks ago. I agree with everything you said... These cars are AWESOME.
@@matrox idk man, I've been living with an SS 1le for 3 years and eventually took it with me to Europe. Tested out a golf for a few weeks and boy I've entertained the idea of trading for a golf!
@@andrewrossnagel9433 I sold it actually, but not because I didn't love it. I needed a truck and couldn't afford to keep both. I miss it every day though. I absolutely loved that car and would buy one again in a heartbeat if I could.
@@andrewrossnagel9433 i just hit one year in mine and the only gripe i have is the fuel economy lock out mode. If youre half throttle in first gear trying to go into second itll lock you out and make you shift to 3rd or 4th. You have to be past 3k or go above 19mph for it to unlock 2nd. But tbh its tolerable and you could buy a 15$ wire or tune it out
I remember the time my work let me drive 200 mi to pick up a Camaro SS 6 speed convertible that they’d bought and drive it back. It was so much fun. Ever since that day I’ve always wanted to buy one.
The blindspot mirrors show the owner doesn't know how to set the side mirrors properly. They're for looking at the side, not behind you. Shift them outward more, you won't need the stupid bubbles.
That drives me crazy too. I get in my friends car...they have the center mirror angled too far toward the driver side... instead of seeing out the whole rear window. Lol 🙄 Like WTF
Got FUntastic 65000 miles on my 2016 2SS-Transformer Yellow-Loaded-Mag ride/ dual mode exhaust--been cross country-carved mountain roads-driven all year in Ontario Canada-(Continental DWS tires)-true drivers car-you need to spend $60000 more to get a better handling drivers/every day fast inspiring car--never felt tired even after 700 mile days-averaged 30 mpg to Imperial gallon cross country-drove it however I felt!
@@FreshlyBaked13 not bad in winter-if you get caught in snow withe Continental tires is ok-but if you are not use to driving in snow-maybe a bad idea-2 inches or less you can get where you need to-
@@TimCausleyhorsemanship Good to know thanks. I currently drive a brz through the winter in New England on blizzaks. Some winters we get slammed, others are mild and rainy. While I dont make an effort to get caught out in storms I've made it the last 4 years without issue. But I'm also driving on 215 tires.
My last 2 cars were a corolla, a camry, and now I drive a subaru legacy. This makes me so sick of driving boring cars, can't afford one of these though.
Man, every time i see thethopher drive one of these cars, i fell in love with them and the only way i will be able to decide if i want one or not is to drive it and yess 2 years ago i go to sit in a v6 one and i felt that the windscreen was to small and it felt a little claustrophobic
Rodney Pobst (Professional Race Car Driver) drives a 2.0L I4 1LE as his daily driver and loves it. I had a 2014 RS traded her in in January for a '18 SS and absolutely lover her, dont have a 6spd but that 10spd auto is amazing love the paddles.
Yeah I don't get it but it no longer bothers me after a few weeks of driving. Just something to get used to I guess, I'm sure more manual cars will be getting electronic parking brakes in the future. It is nice when the car automatically disengages it when you forget.
I really didn´t expect to late this one so much. I had the video in my watch later playlist for a while and I don´t regret watching it right now! Awesome car, it has everything you could possibly want from a sports car, right? Thanks for making me want this car xD
I think when you said the steering was a little light was because you had it in Touring mode. Set it to Sports mode and the steering gets way stiffer and meant for the track.
when I got my 2ss, it took me exactly 2 days to get used to the visibility. Still daily drive my old kia optima. Also had Mazda 3 hatchback various models as rentals, it's easy to get used to visibility if mirrors are adjusted correctly. Lane change assist is a blessing to have.
@@arkadiusw.897 yeah. instead of filling up every 2 -3 days at 30-50 dollars, its 5-7.. at 24-30. i do miss the raw power, but this thing is more fun in the corners
Deciding between a 2ss convertible and a c7 stingray. Definitely gonna enjoy the vette alot more but I like the way the camero looks with the vert. And it's more practical
I'll tell you that after a while it feels normal, definitely takes longer to get used to than the amount of time you probably had with your rental. Once you're used to it you'll actually start to appreciate it, the low roof line makes the car look much more sporty and the tight interior makes the car feel smaller when you're driving it fast.
I'm keep hearing people mentioning how horrible the visibility is, maybe is worse for shorter guys? I'm 6'1" and from day 1 I had ZERO issues with the visibility, yes it's kinda thigh inside but aside from that I never had a problem with the visibility and I used to daily drive my car for a year and a half until I bought a truck too.
Not sure how these compare against other race-oriented muscle cars because I’ve never driven a GT350(R) or GT500, but they’re really fun to drive on track and allow you to explore performance driving without a lot of changes to the vehicle (brake fluid at first and pads/tyres as you become faster). Off track, they are quite stiff and aren’t as compliant as I’d like for backroads driving but okay if you’re just cruising around.
@@Carlos.Rivera Back roads are sometimes not perfectly paved, and a suspension that's too stiff can actually make the car shift sideways over bumps and cracks.
It’s a shame that the after market for the facelift 6th gen is so weak compared to this pre face lift one. Mostly because they didn’t introduced the 2ss trim option on the 1le until 2020. And wanted to change headlight and taillights and so forth
@@arkadiusw.897 My mom has a 6th gen SS and she pays $170 a month. I have my N and an R/T Challenger and I pay $1050 for 6 months. I think my N portion is like $110 a month if I remember right. I honestly never look at monthly breakdown because I always pay in full.
I just want a 2016-2018 2SS, non-1LE, with the comfy looking leather seats. The leather looks more comfy than the Recaro seats. I could be wrong, I've only driven a 1SS with cloth seats.
Yes the leather seats are more comfy and still hold you in; the Recaros have quite aggressive bolstering great for spirited driving/tracking not so much for what you'd be looking for like touring.
I’m also cross shopping these two. I’m coming from a C6 Z06. The CTR is way more practical, but the SS is more emotional to me. But apparently they’re both phenomenal, so it’d be cool to get Topher’s input
Dude i just watched this whole video. Haha. Such a nice car. Im kind of ashamed that i dont have any manual driving experience. I want to learn on a car like this no doubt.
Most of the states have speed limits but I believe that Montana doesn’t actually have a state speed limit. I would support higher speed limits but agree that we do need some sort of speed limit to curb dangerous driving. Simply put, we can’t have nice things because people cannot control themselves. Where I live, the speed limits on the highway are 50-55 mph and while I am a strong advocate for the highways in my state having 70 mph limits where safe, I wouldn’t support having no speed limits. I would 100% support the US having some sort of Autobahn though, with absolutely no speed limits on it.
I love the 18 models.. the 19 SS.. 😐 weird button placement but at least they fixed it back to normal in 2020 lol I really wish they would just get rid of the back seating 😂 it’s useless. I’d rather have no back seat, a bigger trunk and more window and back windshield for better visibility
it would be too much like the corvette. it’s also good for having more room to shove things in the back when you don’t want to use the trunk and for having a young family.
Deciding between the 2SS 1LE or the 2SS 6MT convertible. Will be daily driver and almost never tracked. Or May throw a curveball and get a GTI to save money until I can afford the C8. Thoughts?

Great sounding exhaust. I’m surprised you said it’s 455 hp and yet you consider it a momentum car. Momentum cars are usually underpowered cars.

When I got my Veloster N I was split between a 1LE and the N. Ultimately I needed a usable backseat for my daughter so the N won out.
I am in the exact same situation lol except that I dont have a daughter.
Do you think the Veloster is way cheaper in insurance?
@@arkadiusw.897 My mom has a 6th gen SS and she pays $170 a month. I have my N and an R/T Challenger and I pay $1050 for 6 months. I think my N portion is like $110 a month if I remember right. I honestly never look at monthly breakdown because I always pay in full.
@@PacoRobbins Thank you very much for your response. It helped me a lot. As for cars, you have good taste my man. God bless you.
@@arkadiusw.897 No problem man. Whichever car you go with, you'll like. Camaro is fun and the N is lol.
I fell in love with camaros ever since the first transformer movie came out😭
That's when most of us younger people did, tho the catfish ones are nice too.
I wanna sell my model 3 long range dual motor for this!! I miss my manual transmissions!!
Ditch that tesla
Since when is a 4 second flat, 455HP sports car a “momentum” car?
Right... I would definitely get in a little trouble with this. 🙃
I just want a 2016-2018 2SS, non-1LE, with the comfy looking leather seats. The leather looks more comfy than the Recaro seats. I could be wrong, I've only driven a 1SS with cloth seats.
Yes the leather seats are more comfy and still hold you in; the Recaros have quite aggressive bolstering great for spirited driving/tracking not so much for what you'd be looking for like touring.
I've been waiting for you to drive one of these. Can you talk about the ss 1le vs a civic type r? I'm cross-shopping between the two.
I’m also cross shopping these two. I’m coming from a C6 Z06. The CTR is way more practical, but the SS is more emotional to me. But apparently they’re both phenomenal, so it’d be cool to get Topher’s input
Been waiting for this vid for sooooo long
Great review and audio! Glad you didn't hit any crubs or burshes also...
Dude i just watched this whole video. Haha. Such a nice car. Im kind of ashamed that i dont have any manual driving experience. I want to learn on a car like this no doubt.
Beautiful machine, I think I need to figure out how to get one of these in my life
American highways shouldn’t have speed limits just saw tedward’s video and never knew Americans have a speed limit on the highway
Most of the states have speed limits but I believe that Montana doesn’t actually have a state speed limit. I would support higher speed limits but agree that we do need some sort of speed limit to curb dangerous driving. Simply put, we can’t have nice things because people cannot control themselves. Where I live, the speed limits on the highway are 50-55 mph and while I am a strong advocate for the highways in my state having 70 mph limits where safe, I wouldn’t support having no speed limits. I would 100% support the US having some sort of Autobahn though, with absolutely no speed limits on it.
Ohhh...So this is what Harry Kim's been up to after he got back to Earth.... (if you get the reference, have a cookie! :P)
On the next thetopher video: Dodge Ram 1500 TRX!!!
Bro I don’t know manual and just got a 2SS 1LE. someone teach me
Chevy really needs to put a ZL1 bumper on the regular (ugly nose) 1LE; just keep the dive plane bumper on the ZL1 1LE to differentiate it.
I love the 18 models.. the 19 SS.. 😐 weird button placement but at least they fixed it back to normal in 2020 lol I really wish they would just get rid of the back seating 😂 it’s useless. I’d rather have no back seat, a bigger trunk and more window and back windshield for better visibility
it would be too much like the corvette. it’s also good for having more room to shove things in the back when you don’t want to use the trunk and for having a young family.
Wow that sounds awesome. Good drive!
One of my dream cars
Deciding between the 2SS 1LE or the 2SS 6MT convertible. Will be daily driver and almost never tracked. Or May throw a curveball and get a GTI to save money until I can afford the C8. Thoughts?
That engine sound 👌
my dream would be a cammed 2018 camaro SS with around 550+ horsepower gawleeee that would be a dream
good old N/A V8, I like it.
"these things are just like big Miatas"
Boy that sounds legit.
The 6 speed is calm.
