This is one of the best cars with truly American style and body.

[@Barbutt]

Mine has 203825 miles on it... daily driving New England all 4 seasons. Jay didn’t need reverse to burn.. it will burn into second gear and third if you go ape!

[@Dkickz93]

10 years later and this car is still running the show

[@hunteraltman4762]

I think it's because it can survive abuse compared to the competition, Ford, Dodge or german coupes

[@codymiller1994]

Running the show? A 2021 Mustang and Camaro are basically neck in neck in every category.

[@modernmusclecar1904]

@@codymiller1994 The 6th gen Camaro is a flop sales wise. Sure it performs really well but its not popular. The 6th gen plain SS compared to the 5th gen has zero road presence..none. The 1le and zl1 options make the car look way better but its not helping sales. The 5th gen has that classic muscle car look that the Camaro wont have again.

[@blackice7408]

Actually dodge is with their hp, growing fame, and popularity. The camaro unfortunately is dying. And it a shame because the camaro is a serious performer

[@codymiller1994]

@@blackice7408 Yep, it’ll be sad when the Camaro out of production again. I’m more of a mustang fan, but competition is always good. If it wasn’t for the 5th Gen Camaro, I’m not sure Ford would’ve even bothered to make the 5L for the Mustang.

[@resplendentwitticism]

One of the best looking cars of the 2010's. So very clean and always turns heads.

[@SpaceJohnWayne]

Still the cleanest car in my book

[@plac1197]

@TyetheRebel I just got my 2011 Camaro in all black at the beginning of the winter. Love it! Super sleek, lots of pep. Went with an aftermarket console, but otherwise its all stock.

Still turns heads after 10 years of owning one. Inferno Orange metallic with whites stripes gets everyones attention.

@@Tywild327 maybe at the dealer. I got my 2012 6spd 2SS with 60k miles no damage, clean title for 15k

[@isnowyazn]

@@Tywild327Clapped out? No way, not unless you’re living somewhere where people are of the “I know what I’ve got” mentality or are just upmarking at a dealership like crazy. I see a lot of high mileage (100k+ miles) 5th gen 1SS and 2SS coupes and convertibles going for around $16-25k; obviously with the later year models costing a bit more. Most 5th gen RS’ models 🎉that are genuinely high mileage or “clapped out”, at least with a clean title; those still rake in anywhere from under $10k to maybe $18k tops. And the ZL1 and Z28 (obviously) are still appreciating in value. I personally have a 2010 2SS LS3 coupe, and I would’ve personally opted for a 2013, for the 10-13 chassis and 14-15 goodies.

My dad finally bought one just today after soo many years thinking about it(mostly because of my mom lol) 2ss convertible(auto) with a ZL1 bodykit and a exhaust, pretty awesome car.( the rear seats are usable I fit behind them 5'10 a bit cramped but better than a 3rd row seat of LX570 lmao).

[@lawyers9]

I bought my 2010 4 years ago and LOVE IT! Had to wait till I could afford one. I fell in love with it immediately and will keep it until I can’t drive anymore. It is a real beast when you floor it, yet it can still deliver 25-27 MPG on a trip. It is comfortable and really gets the compliments !

[@ronaldboutan2511]

I do like Jay's videos much more when he is by himself. I think we get more honesty. It's hard to say anything negative when a company exec is sitting next to you.

Great Car .Great review. I’m a freelance automotive writer and was lucky enough to get a black 2010 SS w/6speed manual to evaluate in early 09. I remember people walking up to it and asking about it wherever I went. In some ways I like the 5th gen better than the new one. More room and more fun to drive. Timeless styling.

[@dirt2595]

With an American V8...... Most important.... Just like those Holden's.... Who are OWNED by Chevy...

[@tripsadelica]

Yeah...pity about that. Your Detroit beancounters are about to destroy 90 years of Australian car manufacturing in one fell swoop. GM should NEVER have been allowed to buy Holden in the 1930s. You sucked us dry...used our talent to improve your products and then dumped Holden as soon as the fire grew a bit hot. In the GFC profits from Holden helped keep GM afloat. So you keep your Chevy. I will never buy a US-sourced, made or designed vehicle ever again and many Aussies feel the same way.

[@dirt2595]

+tripsadelica and by the way, the 6th Gen is built on the alpha platform and is lighter and faster with another American v8 and chassis... Overall upgrade... So none of this matters now...

[@tripsadelica]

It matters to me. It matters to my fellow Australians. I will never buy another GM, Ford or any other US vehicle again and I'm not alone here. GM will rue the day it screwed us over. Its sales here will tank, big time. Ford is already slumping badly in local sales. From now on I will buy Japanese or European.

[@atom095]

gm doesn't build this car for their Australian sales. its american muscle. plenty of sales here and not even a fraction of its sales come from Asia and Oceania.

My favorite Camaro is the 4th Gen 1993-1997 with the LT1 and a 6 speed. The prices are crazy for one in decent shape though

[@acidtrunks1727]

benefits: usually the filter is an open air element, meaning its not in a intake box. the filter is usually routed down low away from the heat of the engine so you get cooler denser air which equals more power, makes an awesome sound as the revs rise. Downside: If you hit a puddle or drive in the rain theres a chance you can suck water into your engine which can be pretty bad
