5 things I HATE about my 2023 2ss 1LE Camaro!

[@BrinkofSpeed]

I absolutely love this Camaro, but here are some things I believe GM should fix!

[@Arabs_Legend]

little too late now since they won't be available after 2024

[@Steve-cp4vl]

@@Arabs_Legend Now there’s a recall from 2018 to 2022 for transmission issues. When backing up I heard a very loud shuddering noise. I thought I may have left the parking break on, but I hadn’t. It happened again about a week later. I just received a letter in the mail regarding this specific issue. I’m so glad I sold mine a month ago. I would never buy another one.

[@andrewg.2165]

The skip shift was put in place to ✌🏻increase fuel economy✌🏻 and therefore saved us over a $1000 on the gas guzzler tax…it’s a $15 part to fix it

[@chrisdennis1348]

Thank you for your comments about the items you believe should be improved on the 2024 SS 1le Camaro. I agree, and if they don't make an effort here, it's a missed opportunity to reaffirm just how good this car is. An easy way to fix this is to offer a "collectors package" that incorporates the improvements you have suggested. Serious Camaro owners would immediately see the short and long-range value in such an offering. This would be a no-brainer option to choose.

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

I dont know what happened to my last commentary which wasnt offensive in the least, but this is a sports car folks that has one of the best chassis EVER in the world of touring cars, and 55k is a absolute steal. A BMW M3 is a 120,000 dollar car with a lesser chassis than a Camaro, and engine. At less than 10k invested in aftermarket parts, this Camaro utterly destroys both M3 and M4 cars to this day. Not really much to complain about. Does anyone actually know how cheap dash cams are?

[@amill1563]

I agree that the interior is too plasticated for this price point. I'll guess there is an aftermarket steering wheel that suits your taste.

[@demouptown4957]

Have my 2SS for 2.5 years agree front camera would be nice, they should’ve at least made it an option. Going over hills and pulling out of spots have to be VERY cautious. But going to miss the controlled rawness and exhaust of the 2SS when I look at a C8, it commands more respect on the road than I thought it would too

[@Steve-cp4vl]

To fix the shift skip just pull it out of first gear and let the shifter spring to it's center position. Then just pull the shifter to the left and go ahead and shift to second gear. It only takes a split second if you leave your handlightly on the shifter and don't fight it. Practice makes perfect. I can do it to mine in a millisecond. Try it out.

[@gregory7414]

Hey!! Thanks. I have to try this!

[@goodbyecalifornia3567]

Totally agree with you on these points. I have a 16 camaro and I just bought a 21 vette, waiting for it to be transported to Hawaii. Keep up the good content, new to the channel.

[@davidwynn3971]

To adjust the exit setting; go into the vehicle setting and set it in the comfort section. I had the same problem as you, but once I set it, the problem went away.

[@Bike_bender]

I have a 2022 ZL1 ,,I agree it needs a front camera,,I can imagine the cost of caving in my front splitter,,,I added a cheap backup camera for $35 and it works great but I wish it was built in,,,my backup camera has really weak lines,,,hardly noticeable. And no garage door opener???

[@livinglife3230]

My ‘18 SS m6 is my next vehicle out. Gotta see who has the better options/price for the ‘24 zl1 or ‘24 c8. I’m so undecided, cause I’ll miss my manual wit the camaro but I’m on my 4th camaro & I think it’s time to move on

[@steveanderson7304]

No front cameras was a shock to me for 55k. My wife's 39k Equinox even has them.🤔

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Yeah, it definitely is mind blowing.

[@al151]

I think Chevy never thought about it during the original six gen reveal due to competition not offering as well. Later on it was too late, especially with the chip and supply chain shortage.

[@mikesowell7969]

39k for an Equinox?😳Didn’t realize they were that expensive.

[@steveanderson7304]

@@mikesowell7969 Everything is now. It is loaded and all wheel drive but still not worth 39k. Even though kind of cheap junk my wife seems to like it. Lol

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

4k front dash cams are less than 200 bucks folks. The chassis alone beats a 120,000 dollar car. If you spent 70k more in aftermarket parts, you can easily make a race car. There is no deal like this in the auto industry, and you can't build a Mustang to this cars track capabilities.

[@kerry_glock]

Agree with you and strong dislikes for the Camaro over time are the Circular HVAC Vents and Instrument Pods. GM isn’t looking into dropping any more money on an outgoing model, don’t ya think? GM should have made a 1000 Horsepower Camaro to compete with the Dodge Demon 170. 😊

[@Kudzuken1]

I think you're being a little too picky. I had a 2022 Camaro 1LE 2SS while I was waiting for my C8 Vette to be built.. I love a skinny steering wheel. You have less hand fatigue. Also the only thing I actually hated on mine was the wireless charging. It's in the back seat and it only is large enough to fit an iPhone if you have a Samsung Android phone, it's useless. The Camaro is a smaller car than the Vette. Not fair to compare it to German made cars. But You Do You!

[@annmcleod8023]

What your saying makes a lot of sense!. Chevy pay attention.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

[@christianslense455]

I have an "18 2SS 1LE. Watching your video is kind of surreal because absolutely nothing has changed on the interior at all. Except the SS on your center console. Im not as annoyed about the thinish steering wheel as i am that its diameter is kind of small and i have to tuck my elbows in a bit and Im a bigger guy. In any car there is room for improvement. But these small issues only endear me to the car more. In contrast to the engine, chassis and breaks ,mag ride and e diff 6 pot brembos.And considering the absolute feeling of driving on rails on vented recaros. I think we both know that as The Rock says " IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER"😎 love the channel. If you want a content idea it would be cool to see if you can get with BMR and get some traction mods for launches. Thats been my only gripe and thats with all front engine rear wheel hi hp cars. But if this car could sit down better on take off i would be quite happy.

[@455LT1]

Skip shift saves you from paying the Gas Guzzler tax on the SS 6 speed. Notice, the ZL1 does not have skip shift but you have to pay the tax. Even with skip shift enabled, the LT4 would still be subject to the tax, so they omitted the feature. Just order the eliminator plug and you won't have to worry about it.

[@JohnnyBlaze5680]

@chaz This skip shift isn’t a problem as people make it out to be. All you have to do is keep it in gear longer so the rpms raise higher and that feature disengages. You get to hear the glorious sound of that exhaust longer and eliminates that feature. Two wins

[@Steve-cp4vl]

The skip shift has nothing to do with the gas guzzler tax. It’s due to the supercharged LT4.

[@Kamken81]

Skip shift is easy fix just plug in the CAGS plug you can get for $10 plug in the transmission takes 5min and never have to skip shift again.

[@timothybrickley4025]

[@mjrhavok3929]

My 2007 Corvette has the same issue with the seat memory. Sometimes it just goes braindead for a cycle and then just magically works. It is not just your Camaro. I have seen reports across the GM lineup of this for years.

[@brianb7844]

They wont be making any changes to the 2024 before it gets axed. Makes no financial sense. That being said, owned a Camaro for 8 mos. and dumped it. The interior was a big let down to me and driving it felt like I was in a tank.
