2012 Chevrolet Camaro 2LT Review (0-60 & Burnout)

Road test and review of the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro 2LT, V6, 323 HP. Doughnut at the end!
Great, powerful car.

[@iyaayas200]

Just bought the same model with the RS package and love it.

[@Rezsha56]

For a v6 this car is so fucking fast, had one pull up to me and im in a v8 adrenalin, this guy beat me off the line.

[@pharrellwilliams3765]

I purchased a camaro a week ago and it's exactly how he described it.

[@ChrisWeigel1]

it's honestly the best dimmer system i've ever seen. Like I never had to squint with cars behind me, worked well in tunnels too.

[@joemutt359]

I read a lot of comments no how this is not a sportscar, I mean it's a 3.6 V6 engine with 320+Hp, if that's not a sportscar then I can't imagine what the standard is...a reactor-engined drag racer? Here in EU a 3.0 bmw Z4 with "only" 300 hp is definitley considered a sportscar... but even though it could easily beat the crap out of any stock camaro out there I'd still stick to the chevy!!!

[@tonyelrod295]

Haha, exactly^^^^

[@QUINONES64]

im getting my 2lt delivered to me in less than in a week and your review is pretty awesome.

[@deanberton2194]

Great review , on point ; you where yourself . I got a 2011 2ltrs 10 less HP then the 2012 ; omgoodness do I love it ! Such a joyful fun car for the money and omgoodness comfortable and that Boston Acoustics stereo ; WOW ! I’m old guy and have owned over 10 classic Camaros , all V8s , this V6 beets them all . I’m certain I would love the V8 ; HOWEVER , this feels faster when your not womping on it as a everyday driver . I recommend any 2010 or newer Camaro for everybody! I spent a year and test drove many before I knew I found the one for me .

[@smartphoneconversations]

Would have been nice to actually SEE the burnout and donut.

[@d2sm0oth]

I love them both, especially the exaust note on the 37 and the elegant interior and exterior looks.

[@berettagt88]

I just got the 2LT in Red Rock Metallic my dream has came true I finally have a 5th gen :)

[@kevinp3743]

I got my 2013 Camaro in sept and absolutely love it ... Zero complaints ... I got the v6 2lt with the rs package in crystal red metallic ..sticker was 33400 and got it for 29600 after rebates and discounts ..

[@ChrisWeigel1]

I'll be posting my review of my 2013 Ford Focus ST very soon, I'll link to it when it's posted

[@charlesmorley3116]

😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Y3LLOWB0I88]

Dude i thought u wrecked @6:23 haha. Love my 2013. I have 6spd with a bbk cai, exhuast, trifecta tune, and black chrome oem wheels on the way. Never wouldve thought i would buy stock rims, but the oem ss rims look so perfect for 5g camaro.

[@ChrisWeigel1]

Thanks! haha Yeah I didn't stabilize the camera well enough at first. Figured I'd include it cause it made me laugh- thanks for watching!

[@SithkalekGolfAndGaming]

when the camera slip to the left while passing I thought you had hit the blue SUV and it scared the crap outta me for a sec. I just got my car back from the shop from an front end near totalt collision so thats prolly why it scared me.

[@SoundgardenMan]

Gotta love the camera drop...i spit all over my screen laughing at that man

[@celtpilot]

You could do more of a burnout than that! Rest of the video was great. Thanks bud

[@ChrisWeigel1]

Hey man congrats! really good choice- I see them in black on black sometimes in boston and it's such a mean looking car

[@ChrisWeigel1]

haha yeah I didn't secure the camera right, I didn't bring all my equipment as I didn't expect to do the full review that day- I'm just thankful I didn't shatter the SLR lens lol

[@dwoodog]

Excellent little review. So I've seen 2 now, one guy says the V6 is wimpy at low RPM, and you say it's torquey? I'm sure it doesn't compare to the V8, but I'd like to think it's better than just good enough.

[@pierre-richardromain6708]

Hey what's up! I actually made up my mind...lol! I'm definitely gonna go for 2013 or 2014 Camaro 2LT. I wanna be able to play the music playlist from iPhone through the speakers. I'll get it in black. Black on black looks so nice. I may put down $5k plus my trade in.

[@Samyouell11510]

biggest difference as far as performance is the 2ls has a 2.92 rear end and the 1ls, 2lt have the 3.27 rear end.....but yes luxury upgrades are a main difference

[@Artists_wrld]

Buying my neighbors one from 2012 with 109k miles on it, hyped af tho to have some fun in it

[@TRonlyOne]

Nice car and Nice review bro....I love to see the real opinion of the driver :)

[@BarhO2oM]

Great review! Thanks for sharing.

[@ChrisWeigel1]

I think the biggest difference you'll see has to do with all the luxury items, like the leather seats, sunroof, wheels and dimmers

[@B8V86SPD]

great review! what kind of camera mount do you use? I'm actually interested in getting one, this is not a joke about the beginning haha.

[@Pyrobano]

Trouble with the camera? Lol. Great review by the way. The only thing I don't like about my camaro is the blind spots, but hey some things have to be sacrificed.

[@nicorosberg7225]

I finally found the right sounding one

[@SithkalekGolfAndGaming]

Oh and the seats are amazingly comfortable in this car. i could drive 12 hours straight before i had to pull over because my legs were asleep.

[@admarnp]

Thanks, dude, nice review. Has it been reliable for you?

[@milvacazorla7568]

Hi, Im going to gift a Camaro 1LT to my son, so I need to know if the 2013 model have the Headup Display and how much will cost me on monthly payments ? How much should do the down payment ? Thanks

[@mandangalo72]

like my 12 2LT...put mines on 24 inch wheels ..I luv it

[@SlapperTV]

I was so into the review I thought I was falling @ 00:28

[@OutdoorAesthetics]

thanks im getting the 2014 2lt red with black full length indy stripes 20 in wheels and of course the rs package.

[@ChrisWeigel1]

hahaha thanks man I got so worried I shattered the extended lens on it but it somehow survived

[@WessideVibez]

Getting mines Monday

[@ChrisWeigel1]

That's an awesome color- what wheels would you go with? if you're not a fan of leather seats the cloth ones are fine, very rigid material. If you haven't tried the leather seats in the camaro/haven't sat in them, I'd give it a shot because they're super comfortable.

[@ChrisWeigel1]

Thanks!

[@ChrisWeigel1]

haha I know- I did so many burnouts that day that the pirellis were melting onto the rear bumper! I was being conservative lol. I just wasn't filming when I was- if you see all the black tire marks on the pavement at the end that's from me before I was filming

[@pierre-richardromain6708]

Nice review! I'm thinking about buying the 2013 1LT/RS with a sunroof in the blue ray metallic color. I'm not much of a fan of leather seats. What do you think?

[@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt]

0-60 times should be thrown out, or greatly reduced in importance, superceded by something like 30-80, or 40-100, etc. With so many cars now using bullshit launch control tricks to get astounding 0-60 times, making identical times with cars that are 200+ more hp, it's pretty clear that 0-60 doesn't tell you jack sheet anymore. And 0-100 isn't much better because it's still going to have the fake-n-bake 0-60 time hidden in it. If i'm trying to choose the fastest between a number of cars, it should be obvious that an Audi S4, BMW M3, BMW 235i, Camaro SS, and Mustang GT are going to have WILDLY different 40-100 times, but nearly identical 0-60 times. For phooks sake, quit the with chucking 0-60 b.s. already.

[@OutdoorAesthetics]

you realize the chevy impala was a muscle car right! with a 5.7 liter v-8 then it go reintroduced as a sedan like when it first came out.

[@NoOnesComing]

hey i was looking to buy one of these but I am worried about the snow because it is RWD. was wondering if it slides a ton or if it is composed in light snow? I know you live in Boston so im not sure if you have driven in the snow yet but thanks anyways

[@ChrisWeigel1]

Nice! you have any pics/vid?

[@maher7241]

Chris Weigel Sorry but I want to ask about your keys... Are they houses' keys of people who are living in USA ?

[@MeDaMac]

Aye you’re door panels light up?

[@jowga]

Its pretty good in snow.....

[@didickcheeseburger]

i think the camaro has a little better exterior styling than the mustang but the interior styling of the mustang is much better than the camaros.

[@pierre-richardromain6708]

I'd keep the 20" wheels that comes with the RS package. I haven't sat on the leather seats of the Camaro. I have always had cloth seats. They've always been easier to clean. How much of a down payment should I give?

[@ChrisWeigel1]

I'd probably go with 3k down? and good choice with the wheels. I'm not a big fan of the black stock rims on the base package personally

[@kabar48]

Right away im.laughing n shit. Great vid. I got 2. A 2010 2LT. And a 2017 2LT. I love them both. The 2017 just a lil more .

[@jennifermanning1157]

you have a nice car

[@tyinykiller5]

is there a big difference between the 2lt and 2 ls? cause i might not be able to afford the lt

[@ChrisWeigel1]

you have no idea lol- I have to go really far out of the city to get some good pavement

[@ChrisWeigel1]

nice!

[@BCans2393]

How is it in the snow?

[@corinus88]

i actually get 23.9 mpg city on a manual... i think is pretty good..idk what you get if you say its terrible

[@JamesDuncan1]

Omg get the g37 coupe. The 0-60 time for the 2LS is 6.4 seconds because they wanted the 2013's to be "eco friendly" The G37 does 0-60 in the low 5's

[@petitemonsoon1238]

excellent

[@bigkarl24]

do u own this car or just test drive

[@NewtonCazzaro]

That's a review out of a RENTED car because I can see the sticker with the code bar on the left corner of the windshield lol O_O Nothing against renting cars though, I'm might be renting a 2012 2LT convertible in Miami next week to try it out the convertible version since I already rented a coupe version a while ago in SF. Hopefully I will be able to buy a 2LT coupe this upcoming semester. I will be posting a video of it soon ^^

[@ChrisWeigel1]

Haha you are correct! I own a 2013 Focus ST and my car was in the shop

[@solutionone3777]

he said it was rented you troll.....

[@ViciousKage]

Not really i drove my car up from florida in the snow. with summer tires. It has TC and ST on it. it does pretty fine if you drive normal

[@rooceali1823]

Does it have AUX? And can i play my music thru blue tooth?

[@matrox]

Should have got a stick for better performance.

[@ralphkallab8311]

is the 2012 v6 way better than the 2011 ? cz i have bought a 2011 and i am afraid it was a realy bad choice

[@Marklar10]

There's hardly any difference between the two. I think something on the back end of the engine changed and they added like 8hp or something but other than that the 2011 and 2012 are identical. I have 2012 for what it's worth.

[@scantleguy]

So the auto dim feature is in all 3 rear view mirrors and how well do they work?

[@davidbeaudin1106]

Very well

[@mrkool100]

nice car

[@69pelong]

Thats a NY registration sticker in the left windshield.

[@SVHOMIES]

Bluetooth audio mines doesnt work at a all it only can call

[@m25746793]

how does it feel to drive a 2 door V6 impala?

[@keyanutate6127]

?

[@tucoramirez9729]

Do you still have this Camaro??

[@ChrisWeigel1]

Hi there! I actually had only rented it for a week for a trip.

[@BruceEllis1964]

I have the 2LS and the power is the same....

[@Samyouell11510]

gah man your roads must be terrible where you live lol.....i love my 2012 2ls

[@d2sm0oth]

2013 323HP V6 CHEVY CAMARO 2LS OR 2013 330HP V6 INFINITI G37 COUPE ?

[@milowalks]

G36

[@krolis61]

Thats why the key recall happened LOL

[@nezerac]

harleys are notoriously slow bikes. I raced one of the newer ones (poser gen) harleys in my 01 buick regal ls...yes not even a GS and we were dead even. If I was in sometiing with just a tad more power I would've blown his doors off.

[@MrSafvan2]

Not bad

[@ChrisWeigel1]

Honestly Haven't tried it- probably just as bad as any rear wheel drive car lol

[@ChrisWeigel1]

haha thanks man

[@Musty_Mustard]

Wait lol don’t you need to pay for the “Bluetooth package”??? For the Bluetooth shit?.........

[@ROCdevelopments]

Trade it to a manual, youll get a lot more power

[@richardhawkins1368]

turn off the annoying radio on your next review lol

[@KillzoneDR]

How do I burnout in my camaro in auto transmission

[@vikingo351]

Hold traction control for 7 seconds, put it in M shift down paddle shifter to M1 hold brake slightly and step on the gas

[@ffhjvbuydb78eb]

I have a 2012 camaro automatic v6 and I turn off everything and it does a burnout but then it bogs down and makes a big jump forward like I have a manual. Soooooo WTF? Can anyone tell me what the hell is wrong?

[@AndRootPro]

its just grabbing the road, the engine isn't quite powerful enough to handle the regain on traction

[@ffhjvbuydb78eb]

AndRootPro​ it's something to do with the brake override GM put in their new cars since prius had the sticking gas pedal

[@AndRootPro]

Fox-E (Bonzai) you sure? My sis has the camaro v6, same year and all, was driving it and seriously felt it was the tires, it didn't slow down much, just kind of jerked a bit

[@TylerphantomTmoney]

For my first car I am looking into camaro a, but torn between the 2012 2LT with 50k miles for $15,999 and the 2015 2LS for $15,999. Can you tell me what would be a better option and why?

[@anthonybuffingtonjr.5065]

TylerWithA T' 15,999 for a 2012 2LT is a ripoff

[@stevendesantis3312]

I get more power for my malibu ltz lol

[@hmk219]

ROUND TWO 😂😂😂😂

[@4dmachinery527]

my ford f150 v6 twin turbo could go faster than that lol

[@prestonjoslin2646]

Bull shit

[@pab170]

cause it's a twin turbo you DUMB ASS!!!

[@hershey9996]

Dude it’s a v6 stop hyping it up like it’s a Lamborghini, a 2006 mustang gt is quicker, faster, sounds better, has a v8, and you can get one for about 6k. Things v6 owners say... smh

[@cnnlive10]

A 2006 Mustang GT? The old camaro's and mustang's were awful, inside and out. ( pure trash for GM / Ford profit ) Both cars have improved to a point where they can compete with over seas sport cars now. I would have to wonder why anyone would go back to "those" cars and compare them to the new generation?

[@ernesthoward2948]

Got a 12 it's my Baby 😊
