Chevrolet Camaro RS.... IS the V6 still fun?

Listen to the exhaust note and take off of the Camaro RS. Is this a car for you? Do we hate it or is this great? Opinionated review on the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro RS.

[@Cirux321]

I drive a 2016 2SS. But I've driven the V6 LT. The V6 is pretty damn good for what it is and it performs better than many late 90's early 2000's V8 Sports/Muscle cars. My only real complaint about the 6th gen Camaro, is the visibility. But you get used to it. With the 2SS I got the Recaro seats, knee pads, steering wheel and shifter boot. So it makes the interior look much better. As far as the back seats, I didn't buy a Camaro to lug people around in. I have a 4 door crew cab truck for that. Camaros never really had much space in the back, most especially with the 4th gen F-body and the 5th and 6th gens. The backseats are there primarily for insurance purposes. As far as performance, the Camaro is bar none, one of the best performing cars on the road. The steering is by far the best I've experienced with the right feedback, you know exactly what the car is doing under you. But with GM going to primarily Electric/Hybrids beyond 2023, my next car likely with be a HEMI powered Charger or Challenger. I've driven and rode in more than enough Mustangs to know they're just mostly garbage with an excellent tuned exhaust.

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

Good feedback and right up. Thanks for sharing.

I just bought a house at 24 it was built in 2016 and has 4 bd, 2.5 ba, 2 story, it has a huge, backyard (very huge), we also have a theater room, and it's 2,400 sqft. Perfect for me and my twin. She has a 7th Gen Mustang Ecoboost. I have a 23' RS Camaro. The funny thing is one of our neighbors have a V6 Camaro and another neighbor down the street has a V6 Mustang. This neighborhood has older homes and newer homes. But the older homes still look brand new. The neighbors across the street from our house have a 5,000+ sqft house built in 2008. It's a beautiful view to look at, it's like a castle. You can definitely tell people in this neighborhood got 💰 💰 I'd rather have an almost paid for V6 living in a beautiful home than have a V8 sitting outside with no garage at an apartment complex. I love our house, because that is where I do most of my living, not in my car. I love pulling up in my driveway and seeing the magnificent curb appeal. For the people that I know that have a V8, that's their "house note".

Thanks for the unbiased review. I’m debating on whether buying a 3LT V6 Camaro or an Ecoboost Mustang. Which one would you recommend in terms of reliability and quality (interior and exterior)?

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

We do have a video as well that is our opinion on the v8 vs Ecoboost mustang FYi. My initial reaction would be Mustang without hesitation. However the Camaro has been the underdog for a bit now, that kinda makes me like it. Ultimately I do think I would choose mustang. I think it is a funnier car to drive, I also enjoy the interior a lot more. Drive them both, let us know what you decide and why. Would love to know. Like, subscribe and check out that mustang video.

The needle doesn't move that fast, on less the performance timer is incorrect my best 0 to 60 to date came in at 4.8 seconds. The V8 can do it in 4.1 seconds seven tenths of a second faster than the V6 i wouldn't call that killing it.

I honestly think you're on to something, the poor sales of this 6th gen Camaro is solely because of its horrendous interior design quality and poor visibility. Its unfortunate because this Alpha chassis is fantastic and now GM decided to kill it which is totally insane to me.

what car has better interior for the money its a cheap car lol!! Bought my 2018 RS with 3000 miles on it in 2018 for $25000. Package is better than the standard mustang or challenger. Would i like better nicer interior of course. Am i put out about it no its still very nice for what i payed. My RS will do 105 mph 13.6 seconds in 1/4 mile that’s faster than most mussel cars of the day. Faster than about anything of the 80 and 90’s including exotics. 150 + mph is faster than most people will ever do. Average 20 mpg over 30 on highway its a daily driver with 55,000 miles on it now. Only problem was sunroof stopped working had to fix. I believe for the money one of the best deals out there. 20 inch wheels not the 18 inch uglys like on 4 cylinder mustangs. My RS turns head’s wherever i go get more compliments than any car or truck iv owned and iv owned a lot. Dont buy a camaro for people to sit in the back why so they can ruin it. Not worse than say a mustang or challenger they all suck for back seat space. Also had a gen 5 3.6 over 100,000 miles on that power steering started leaking only trouble i had with that camaro. Anyway think ur a little hard on this car its a great deal and great performer handling is great rife is good fast and don’t break the bank what else can u ask for. A supra thats same HP thats $20,000 more or a Nissan 300 Z that iv smoked more than once. Lol!!

I just recently got the 2017 rs 50th anniversary edition. I upgraded from a 2013 ls. Engine size wise is pretty much a lateral move. But at least i can hear it. The ls was too quiet. Camaros were meant to be heard regardless of engine size. I like the look of the gen6 as well. Not a big fan of the front end on the 2019 and up Camaros though. They look too much like the newer chargers. I'm happy with my Camaro.

The v8s have a hell of a lot more pedal above 70/80mph but like he says in the video the v6 camaro checks the right boxes but lacks the v8 h.p. you just gotta buy what suits your needs. I drive mine daily so fuel was the deciding factor for me. Also i seen a clutch video on KZbin where the guy shows 380,000 miles on a v6 camaro.

I've been a Mustang fan pretty much all my life, but a Camaro fan since about a year ago. I have spent the last antagonizing over the Camaro, I placed a deposit on an RS and will be picking it up next week. Why? It's all about handling for me, and the Camaro beats Mustang and Challenger easily in that catagory. My reason for picking V6 over V8 is all about practicality. Unless you're driving it on the track, the V8 is just dead weight. A V8 costs $10k more, you'll burn an extra 5-10 mpg, and about an extra $100 per month for insurance. And for what? Bragging rights? I believe the V6 Camaro with manual transmission is the perfect car for those who want to take a break from reality and just have some fun driving along a curvy two lane highway. So for me, it's all about having fun while driving, not trying to win a race.

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

[@stevenhensley7250]

I was looking at all three. Mustang, Camaro, Challenger. This was at the beginning of 2020. I watched prices slowly drop over the year. Covid had businesses closed so I new that would affect prices. By November 2020 it was time to decide. It could have been any one of them however, there was a Mustang MCA black leather interior with chrome, manual 6 speed, 64k miles, that won out. It’s white with a black factory stripe and the wheels are factory dark gray. I paid 12.9 at a BMW dealership for it. It edged out the others having that 68 fastback look that a neighbor had back in the 70s when I was a little kid. But really, I would have bought the Camaro or the Challenger too. I love all three. We are really lucky there was a muscle car revival (retro-futurism) I’m totally happy with my V6 cyclone with 305hp. Before this I had a 92’ Celica GT. 134hp. No issues with the Ford engine yet. I did have to replace the A/C compressor but that’s it. Regular oil changes of course. Just got back from a 2.5k road trip. I’m super happy with the cheap pony fun. 🎉 PPS: it got about 28.5 mpg on the road trip.

I own a 2018 Chevrolet Camaro RS. I love this vehicle. The vehicle is fantastic performance and comfort is amazing. Unlike the Chevrolet Camaro SS. The Chevrolet Camaro SS makes an extremely unnecessary loud noise. All that is for people that want to be noticed. I think that the RS is for people that are more conservative. But still want the power and performance. Also the RS I think is for people that are more financially conscious. Do you really need 445 horsepower? Unless you live in Arizona where you can really use that amount of horsepower.? And not being afraid of killing yourself? 335 horsepower it's enough for me.
