Sorry about the audio quality in the driving portion everyone! We've contacted our mic supplier for another set because of the clipping in this footage.

Great video and honest review. I have a 2011 2SS Auto bone stock just picked up last month! Already added longtube headers, exhaust, cold air intake, and 93 tune! Definitely takes some time getting used to the visibility. Other than that love the car it is definitely a lot of fun, and makes some decent power!

His ending summed it up well. Good video. Stuck between Modern 6th gen or classic feel 5th gen. Though you can upgrade the instrument cluster to a digital gauge, but thats $1200 and then upgrade the radio to a touchscreen of your choice. Then upgrade the wheels. 5th gen also less money. I just like the styling of the 6th gen. Especially the 2019 taillight's. So sexy.

If you want a slicker inside but that body style. Look into the 2013. It has a better radio with rear view camera on a screen. It has the interior of a 2014-2015. The 5th generation Camaros produced in 2014-2015 have different looking headlight and tail lights.

@@betti_ss3716 The headlights are ok, but I kinda like the 10-13 Headlights though. Not a fan of the tailights on the 14-15, though I saw some bad ass aftermarkets. With that said, I'll take your advice and check out the 2013-2015. I would do the 6th gen, but the price is still high. I really appreciate your help and time to comment.

Great video, I have driven 5th gens for about 8+ years daily and you get use to the visibilty at some point 😂. Can confirm, the v8 with headers and an exhaust never gets old. Smiles per mile as they say.

@ultimateslayerjr9890 3 ай бұрын

Can I ask you a question bruv? I would like to buy a 5th gen auto or manual in the near future and would love to daily drive it, but I don't really know how reliable they are or how much mpg do they really get.

@ultimateslayerjr9890 so when I had my 2011 v6 I got about 22mpg average. I upgraded to the a 2010 2SS about 2 years ago and I have had no issues with the v8 and i just passed 103k miles on it. The v6 I blew a radiator hose at about 60k miles, but that was the only issue. IF you look online they tell you to stay away from 2010 and 2011 camaros, but that is just the v6. The v6 in those years had an issue with the timing chain and would need to be replaced at some point. The v8 has some lifter weakness but I have yet to run into it. Other than that it is a fantastic car. The v8 gets about 16-18mpg for me because I'm in stop and go traffic everyday for work, it is a 6.2L engine so it is thirsty. With the v8 you have to run premium Gas so generally where I live for 3/4 of a tank of gas is about 50$ and I fill up every 4 days (commute to work is about 44 miles). I recommend getting a v8, it is way more fun to me than the v6. Also when you get headers and an exhaust it gets addicting to hear it everyday.

@@IgnitionRegalia thanks for sharing your experience bruv. Yeah I did do a bit of research and heard the LLT v6(2010-2011) did had some timing chain issues but later models were corrected by the new LFX v6. I was thinking of a V6 initially but like you said I really want to hear that V8 in my daily life jajaja, I would also be in stop and go traffic situations quite often so 16-18 mpg in that condition doesn't sound that bad for a big ol' American V8. Also is yours the auto or manual ? because again on online forums I heard about lifter issues on the L99, but apparently they're way more uncommon than people make them seem like

@ultimateslayerjr9890 I see it as my hobby, so I don't mind spending the extra gas money. I'm glad I could help. You won't regret getting the v8

Last April I bought my first corvette. A 1999 C5 Hardtop. 6 speed manual w Z51 suspension. Kinda apples to oranges but I wouldn’t mind this SS

@gearheadsyndrome 3 ай бұрын

The c5 Z06 is my dream car. When I get time again I want to restart my trading up series. So far I've traded from a 1:18 scale model to $350 worth of lawn mowers/cash. Not sure what's next but when I have time I'm going to get after it to hopefully get my dream car!

How about mentioning they only last 150 k miles lol

@gearheadsyndrome 2 ай бұрын

I only spoke on what I know about the vehicle from my time with it. This one has under 25,000 miles and has obviously been very reliable for the owner. Honestly wasn't really aware they had reliability issues. The LS platform in general is known for being traditionally reliable.

So these cars don’t come with spare ? First thing I like to do with mine being I picked it up yesterday and drove it from Green Bay to Minneapolis those low profile tires ,don’t know how anybody can like them. That was one rough ride.

Run-flats is the alternative they chose.

@rickss69 Ай бұрын

You could get a space saver tire if ordered. It fits under the trunk mat and on top of the battery.

Exciting I’m picking up my 2010 SSRS this coming Tuesday with the V-8 automatic, question is is there any complaints on that V8 6.2 L automatic? Been viewing a lot of videos here on KZbin.

@ultimateslayerjr9890 3 ай бұрын

I've seen on some forums for both 5th and 6th gens and C7 Corvettes complaining about the Cylinder deactivation but the real failure statistic seems very low

@bananaoligarchy8754 3 ай бұрын

If you want to minimize any potential issues you can do an LS3 conversion kit (removes the AFM components) but most people don't actually seem to have any issues with the L99's valve train.
