@@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.

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

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 😂😂

I have a 2022 2SS 1LE, with a manual, and love it. It's just a weekend car for me, but I recently drove it out to Utah (from my home in Pennsylvania), and it was super comfortable. And once I got out to the nice roads in Colorado and Utah, it handled the twisty mountain roads with aplomb. And like the owner here, I get compliments on it all the time. Really a shame that GM is killing off the platform, and isn't going ahead with another generation.

The crackling pop of the exhaust when in sport mode still 3 years later puts a huge smile on my face. Mine is also riverside Blue Metalic and I got the big boi ZL1 spoiler splitter, and Side skirts ALL Gloss Black. Canards are the next thing I'm a put on just to make the front even more aggressive not that it Stock (NO MODS) already makes it look so mean and aggressive looking but I just wanna go all in pretty much.

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.

I'm glad you got to drive a newer one! I just got my 2023 1SS 1LE 2 months ago and have been loving it. A TON of car for 49k. You definitely need to film a track day with it and try the no lift shift function, such a blast. Hope everyone who is on the fence about these cars jumps on one while you can still get one! You won't regret it!

How do you deal with that visibility? I had my mind set on one, until I sat in a ZL1 today. They're impossible to see out of.. The rear right blind spot is so bad, I wouldn't be able to safely change lanes in it.. it's so bad, I don't think I'm even considering one, anymore.

@@paradigm905 Camaro6 forums contain many discussions on this and a GM tech advised against it. There is supposedly a physical barrier that engages in those specific conditions so I'd either learn to drive with it, unplug it and tune out the error or get the skip shift eliminator which is only like $20. Forcing it into 2nd is generally viewed as the worst option.

There is a physical barrier below 2500rpm, but most the time you rev 1st out past 2500, and it doesn't ever block your shift, but if you let the stick center itself, ie to middle in between 3rd & 4th it opens the gate automatically.. IE pull out of first, let the stick move to right a bit, then pull left and down and its super smooth.. I don't like the 1st to 4th, its too low, If I want to quietly move around its 1st, 3rd, 5th for me and its much more smooth..

Here's my gripe about Alcantara being added to the steering wheel and shift knob. It feels great for the first however thousands of miles, but they're high contact touch points, so they will age like milk. Alcantara feels awesome until it wears out, then you gotta look into replacing it. It's great for the showrooms and brochures, but not for long-term ownership. Also, the 2SS option on a 1le Camaro defeats the purpose of what the 1le trim was made for in the first place. 1le was specifically designed to strip the car to the bare essentials while maximizing driver involvement and the purity of what a Camaro could do without the added weight of creature comforts. Alright, I'm done raining on everyone's parade, enjoy the ride.
