[@HyperBlueMetallic1LE]

@@hhaste it’s really not that bad if you give it some time, in my opinion most of the people who think that have never really driven one or they didn’t adjust everything properly. If you take the time to get the seat and mirrors right it’s pretty manageable. Rear right is probably the biggest I would agree but with my mirrors I’ve never had trouble ensuring the lane is clear just requires more head moving to be sure than other cars lol. When I bought mine it was the first time I’d ever been in one and after the 1hr 1/2 drive home I was already pretty comfortable with the visibility, I actually quite enjoy how narrow the front window is, feels like your in a cockpit lol.

[@NDEEZMiata]

I had an 19 1SS 1LE, amazing car. Nearly everything is perfect. Visibility sucks, you get used to it, but it makes commuting tricky sometimes and it can spoil driving on tight roads. You just have to guess where the car edges are. It’s a pretty wide car and the wheels poke out so it’s easy to curb them in weird angle drive thrus and what not. Electronic parking brake was annoying. It works but there’s a delay for it to set. Manual handbrake would be so much nicer. Otherwise, about the best car I’ve driven. Chassis is incredible, brakes are insanely powerful, seats are so comfortable and supportive, they don’t recline much on the 1SS either. Shifter is the best I’ve used. Such good feel and it just feels durable and like you can abuse it, flatfoot shifting is so addicting. Steering is great, the heaviest weight is too heavy, but the individual drive mode settings solve that. It rides great for what it is….sounds great….GM really nailed it overall. I got rid of the 1LE because I couldn’t stop hauling ass in it. It’s so fast for the street and the limits are super high. 100mph is nothing in it. Power is just so tempting and after a while the thrill of speed is gone I have a 2020 recaro/bbs package Miata now. The Miata is more fun at reasonable speeds and just puttering around. You can take it to the edge without doing 120mph lol I still miss the Camaro a lot…the exhaust note was intoxicating and it was such a great drivers car….but the Miata keeps me out of handcuffs lol

[@donaldjames4340]

This made me laugh I feel u brother I’m always ripping it in my 1le

[@NDEEZMiata]

@@donaldjames4340 ha ha yeah it’s impossible not to when a car sounds and feels that good. 😂 I definitely miss it sometimes. Nothing is like a V8. So comfortable to cruise around in, the recaros in the 1LE are fantastic. Best seats I’ve had by far Recaros in the Miata are eh, bit too snug in the thighs and I’m slim. Hot too, don’t breathe well. Better than the regular seats though. Running costs are a hell of a lot more tolerable. Less than 5qts of oil, tiny tires, 33mpg mixed driving easily. And it’s nice to be able to row gears with the top down and not worry about protecting the chocolate starfish in county 😂😂

Accent Color Change with the shift of mode is killer

[@wesleywalls7582]

What a great car…pinnacle pony car for sure. V8. 6-speed. MRC. Best chassis in class. Future classic for sure.

Beautiful Camaro thank you for sharing beautiful

I just sold my C7 for GT PP1 since I was having to drive a LOT more just around town. I so desperately wished I didn't hate the way Camaros looked, because the SS 1LE is in a class of its own as far as driving experience compared to Mustang and Challenger. The SS leans sports car, the mustang rides the line between muscle and sport, and the challenger is full muscle car. If I didn't just totally hate the exterior styling I would buy one in an instant. They are so damn great to drive. The alpha platform is just great.

Looks way better than the mustang looks better than the stingray too

[@itslordzy9105]

I wish my 2SS crackled that much

[@ragingbull94mtx]

My 2020 LT1 has the NPP and crackles just as much... more so when cold.

[@TheSleeds]

What do you like better the Type R or SS 1LE? How does your winner compare to the 5 Blackwing?

[@sxxkkllmmmclean7894]

Thanks for the video very nice car!!

[@paradigm905]

I love my 2022 SS 1LE. Waited 6 months for mine from order, and the order was almost dropped (color constraint). I ordered a 2022 Mustang GT in case the Camaro never arrived, and both ended up hitting dealer lots within the same week. The Camaro was the east choice for me.

Nice to see a car lounger on youtube…

[@paradigm905]

@@JustCarPeopleThings Just saw this. Great review you did, watched it a few times.

[@Dylan_Miller]

I really want one of these. I hope I can snag a used one if 3-4 years from now that is well taken care of.

The 2019 model bumper everyone disliked. 2020 was the year they fixed it real quick.

[@mrslapside]

I’m really thinking about getting one hehe

[@Ill1776]

They stopped production on the 15th of June. 2023 are no longer available to order, and good luck finding 1. The 2024s are going to be built on Aug 7th. Happy to have placed an order for 1 already also.

[@captainholmes]

This prompted me to put in an order for a 1LE. I love/hate you!

[@jeebra7491]

I ordered one late march 2023, and it’s being built this week (June 26th)🤷🏻‍♂️. Lead times could be much worse

[@stevem1362]

@TheTopher: Camaro SS1/2LE or Mustang PP / Mach 1 for mostly street. Reliability being a key factor? I'm trying to pick one as my summer only car for the next 20 years into Retirement (the last of the great V8's), currently driving a stock Focus RS all year round including winters in Ontario Canada.... The Mustang GT's MT82 makes me nervous as well as the direct injection only Camaro V8... such a hard choice! Side question for best stereo: Bose vs B&O?

[@SLOGOAT219]

If you are on a long road trip you can get 25+ mpg pretty easily with the manual or the 10spd auto. I've had both, I want to say I got closer to 27-28 with the m6 and 24-25 with the A10

[@Boffy]

Awesome

[@awayfromhome2893]

You have to install the ACS side rockers. Makes the car look way better. Also get the ACS rock guards front and rear.

[@micarta-ed2ut]

Riptide Blue coming to the 24 Camaros 🤠

[@SpyderRacing]

Might need a bit of coolant in the reservoir, the bottom one should be half full and it looked empty from that angle around 2 min

[@thindirtgaming1562]

if this guy wasn't a sales person for the camaro, then I would have a hard time beliving that he isn't, he had me wanting a camaro even though I don't have a job
