5 REASONS WHY THE 5TH GEN IS BETTER THAN THE NEW

[@andrewetherington9828]

Thanks for the vid, Elvis. I found it very informative. I'm no Camaro expert, but looking both up, my slight prrsonal preference from a look perspective is the 6th gen. But I can definitely see the appeal of the 5th gen. 5th gen looks more traditional and true muscle car style in my personal opinion. But as you say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm sure your spot on with every other parts of your assessment. Your last point was very interesting. Id never thought about how all the technical gadjets in a car would make them age worse in the long term. A good point indeed. And I can definitely see the appeal of more analog and simpler controls and functions. Plus all the technology being built into cars is definitely just something else to break, and be mighty expensive to fix.

To me the greatest advantage of the 5th Gen over the 6th Gen is you have a true LS3 engine without active fuel management. Sadly the 5th Gen Auto has a L99, the modified LS3 that gains variable valve timing but with that also receives the active fuel management valve train BS.

I love the look of the 5th gen only because of bumblebee but i would buy 6th gen only because of the carplay/android auto after having it in my 19' impala premier it makes life so much more convenient compared too having those stands that you attach too the air fan and put your phone on

Does the car let me play Nintendo? I want a car that lets me play my Nintendo? The stupidity is mind boggling.

The screens are definitely crap, what is the weight difference from 5th to 6th gen? I know the 5th gen is a heavy coupe at around 3800 lbs..

@@NewEdgeDesigns the 6th gen is about 200 pounds lighter

Reason #1 is enough, Gen 6 Camaro's look like a Malibu, butt ugly...everyone knows this. That's why no one buys them unless priced at a HUGE discount. Reason #2: Much more difficult/costly to tune due to the torque based ecu...ask any tuner. The Gen 6 ugliness was a major disaster for GM, but the Camaro will be back after GM does a reset on the design once the public gets the he ugly thought of gen 6 out of their mind...you'll see.
