First Test - 2010 Chevy Camaro

[@TankuBOSS]

I remember watching this video when I was like 10, this was my dream car at the time 😂😂😂

[@vxjlx]

Same when I was 9 (im 14 now)

[@liammaupin9492]

@@vxjlx ever since I saw transformers and the 5th gen Camaro rolled on screen I instantly fell in love

[@markjmarkjack]

I remember when they first came out, saw it in Transformers but what really made me want one was the day some guy in a 2010 SS downshifted and chirped the tires at 45ish passing my aunt's truck. Had already been reading about it in car magazines and it was my dream car since. Finally bought an SS this year.

[@TankuBOSS]

@Certified Big Dog yeah, not anymore, although I still love the idea of owning a Camaro lol

[@Wajjajagg]

I just bought one last month best & most fun i had in a while 2010 2ss i had a slk 55 amg was a little more fun but nothing beats this american muscle feel

[@SauceCaptain]

Props to GM for making these cars so good. The fact they're selling so well is a testament to how good a job they did. I'm not even a Chevy guy, but this made Ford step up their game, and Mopar has improvements in the works for the Challenger as well. Everytime one of the three ups the anty the other two have to follow suit.

[@1AAuto]

I took a ride in my friends new RS SS, what a great car. Chevy did a great job on the interior and retro look of bringing back a modern classic.

[@robcrossan6274]

Really cool to come back to this video now in 2022. I bought a 2014 2SS/RS in 2019 which was lost in an accident due to a drunk driver, and now just picked up a 2011 2SS/RS this year. I remember going to Disney world in 2011 ish, the speed track rollercoaster ride was sponsored by Chevrolet at the time. During the ride it took you outside for a brief time and on the ground there was 2011 Camaro SS's lined up nose to nose in all different colors and stripes. I've wanted one since..if you can pick up a used 2010-2015 SS, Do it!!

[@napoleon2632]

You americans are very happy that the average Joe can drive a car like this. Down here in Brazil they cost a fortune and only the minority who own the country can have them. Even the compact cars here are outrageously expensive.America is the best country in the world.

[@TheCarArchives96]

[@poolboyinla]

Wish they would bring Firebirds back.

[@cjamma123]

i just bought a new camaro yesterday its frickin awsome its red with black stripe

[@speedybullets713]

When i get mine next Spring, the first thing ima do is take off catilytic converter or get Flowmaster stuff.

[@Coolasion]

the red color for the camaro looks really nice

[@prostock69]

We have decided on orange and we are either buying one at a nearby dealership (orange ss/rs with orange leather interior, sunroof) or we are ordering one. I'm I'm a dudette :) Right now, I'm driving a 2007 Dodge Charger R/T which I love. I've owned 2 Camaros and 1 Firebird before. I've always loved the Camaro the most. Can't wait!!

[@SteelRaptor24]

I have watched the "Extreme Factories" episode of the new Camaro. I have always been a fan of all American muscle, The precision that the new Muscle cars go through to become a finished product are just as critical as any of the most expensive production cars on the market. The specs required in every facet of the production process is so precise and critical, you are vertually guaranteed a decent car. The only difference is material quality in the cockpit and the hand-built engines.

[@Revo21384]

6-way adjustable. You'll have no problem... First impression when you get in is that you're not gonna be able to see out, but once you're on the road, the visibility is just fine. Plus, the 6-ways will accommodate any height....

[@punjsher]

i test drove this car a month ago. it was so fun. when i was done and brought it back to the dealer, you could smell burnt rubber. the v6 i drove was so fast, it had fuckin bangin acceleration

[@MarkSeibold]

Nice report here. We just rented the 2010 Camaro for a Portland Oregon to Pacific Coast drive yesterday. Even the low end V-6 screams with break-neck acceleration, especially when the manual shifting is selected. Every time we parked, necks turned to compliment the car and Wow over it. *Whats with the rediculous Ford vs Chevy war talk here? Do these people have any real lives to live? - Mark, Artist-Astronomy Teacher, Portland Oregon

[@REDxFROG]

Best looking car ever made. I want one.

[@carson22s]

my uncle got this car last year in 2009. he ordered it online for 33,000. its orange. it was worth it bro!

[@Slipstream0001]

Yes, if you're talking about hub dyno/wheel dyno's it's because an auto doesn't put the power down as directly. I would never bother driving an auto but it is usually a bit faster.

[@stemmadegli]

I agree 100%. While there are waiting lists for new Camaro's, there are Corvettes sitting on the lot. Right now you can probably get a steal on a new Corvette, which out performs any other American sports car hands down. The new 'vette grand touring looks nice too.

[@carlgrahangahan3418]

This is my dream car I always wanted a red Camaro

[@tbsdrummer87]

Old man won one of these tonight at a lottery anniversary, what a lucky man, I'd make love to that car.

[@intrepid_wandering]

I have nothing against this car but the people reviewing it seemed to me like they didn't know what they were doing. If you can't get a faster manual tranny 0-60 time. Then your doing it wrong. Just because it has a clutch does NOT mean you have to drop it from 4k plus. Usually with RWD that helps but by no means always. Plus I don't think 30 degree weather will have that much of a negative effect on traction. Maybe just a little. Still, cool car, good vid.

[@cburn67]

True! I just sold my 89 S-10 Blazer and it had 199,000 miles on it. I could step on the gas and it would squel tires in second gear. Even though I drive a civic now I still love my american muscle and I will have the new camaro soon!

[@prostock69]

I'm getting a new SS this spring! I can't wait. Can't decide which color to get. Orange or Yellow.

[@AllAhabNoMoby]

I am Dutch and usually prefer European sports cars. But lately, the US have been making some really nice cars, and this Camaro is just gorgeous. Nice engines too. I hope it handles better than American cars often do. Great job so far, Chevy!

[@stealers212]

Camaros are the best car ever. i get so excited every time i see one on the streets or at a dealer.

[@Tevlek]

I got to ride in one today. The thing rocked my world and made me want to buy it in spite of the fact I'd be in debt the rest of my life...

[@Feenyxxx95]

No matter how quick the v6 is, it still isn't the same as having a deep rumble from the exhaust and knowing you have beef under the hood when it comes to the pony/muscle cars. I hope we aren't headed for a day where the pony cars lose the v8 altogether and become 6 cylinders on the high end models as well. The earlier rumors of a forced induction 6 cylinder corvette about broke my heart.

[@Texarmageddon]

Last, Modern Elises feel like they could be taken to a track and abused without falling to bits, but then there's not that much inside to break. Don't be worried if the aluminium tub creaks and rattles a bit - there's little sound deadening and most of the interior is bare metal. The pop-in-pop-out roof bars sometimes have dodgy seals too - but that's not a big worry. Taken straight from topgear themselves.

[@Speegs23]

The smog in Los Angeles is overstated, it's greatest concern is a visual aesthetic. The mountainous region traps all types of airborn substances in a linger, it did that when the indians were making simple camp fires or slash and burning crops too, smog is as old as LA itself. Unless you have severe allergies it is a non issue for anyone, it certainly isn't a suffocating haze as found in Thailand or Malaysia or even Mexico City. LA is far from being Mexico City.

[@ferrari575cc]

i was referring to someone who made the argument that the silverado and sierra were the same thing. in fact, they pretty much are, just minor differences in trim and exterior styling. but they are virtually the same truck. btw, i didnt start the truck discussion.

[@jmoneymaker96]

wow and i thought i could only accept a v8 camaro, 6 seconds is not that bad after all. By the way that was one of the best reviews of the camaro iv'e see.

[@Pracerdohczx2]

Yes its true. Thats also why they discontinued the Grand Nationals at 87, they were also able to outperform Vettes. Then you got the GMC Syclone/Typhoons, they were too discontinued for the same reason, matter of fact, i heard the engineers and disigners that blueprinted the Syclone/Typhoon were fired for this reason.

[@skizzle94]

yeah, this car looks great, first saw it in Transformers and I loved it, looks like there will be some new competition with the Ford Mustang, even though I still love the Mustang too!!

[@lpmoora]

Whether it is Mustang, Camaro, or Challenger, I'm just glad to see the Pony wars be revived after so many years. I would like to have all 3 in my lot. 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (an opinion, but still the best sounding V8 out of the lot), and pumping up the return of the 5.0 is only going to make it better. 2010 Chevy Camaro SS (just a total "cool" car. 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 6.1 Hemi..need I say AMAZING Power

[@GwenCoonen]

FINALLY a great american muscle car that comes to europe in official showrooms! I may not have the opportunity to buy a new one, but still it opens up for a possibility to easier find a second hand one . Nevertheless, i have to say : THANK YOU CHEVROLET ! (for bringing some real nice cardesigns to europe ) The only cars we see here are shoeboxes in grey/white or black...now just hoping other brands will soon follow for bringing us some american muscle ! Love you Chevrolet !

[@ExecOutcomes616]

Wow. What a car! Good job GM. I'm going to buy an SS. Looks stellar.

[@newyorkyankeef4n1018]

@SweetCash33 just because the grille's made of a cheaper material doesn't at all mean that the actual vehicle is bad. Perhaps the reason the grille and some of the other materials are cheeper is to keep the price of the car lower. It's not a bentley, it's a ford. It's supposed to be affordable and decent quality

[@Cheznikkkk]

I don't really think you can claim the Ford guys sit back quietly because they know their stuff. 90% of the Ford fans I meet are ignorant, trash-talking, fanboys who know nothing about cars. Granted, there are fanboys on all sides though. And Canada made is pretty much American made, even Ford produces cars in Canada. Other than that, you seem to be one of the few that are not completely ignorant and close minded. I agree 100% with you on the subject of torque. HP is not everything.

[@ZULUBRAZIL]

I rented a Red Camaro SS for one week last month when I was visiting US. The Camaro is amazing. Im a brazilian chevy fan, so my choice is the SS.

[@screenz2020]

I never thought any new car would ever look as good as the '60s muscle cars. But the new Camaro is a knockout. A little too high and big, but great design! It looks even better in real life than on photos and you can stare at the lines and details for hours...

[@tbirdsport302]

i cant wait to see the comparison against the SS vs. the 2011 GT and im sure they'll throw in the R/T Challenger as well, that will be a good one for sure :)

[@Mechknight73]

@quietfamily With the help of a crew of Australian engineers. If ever you get the chance, look under one of these Camaros, then look under a Pontiac G8. The G8 is a restyled Holden Commodore, GM's family car in Australia. The Camaro uses a shortened floorpan from a G8, the Zeta platform Holden was asked to design.

[@p4horror]

Listen to that growl of the V8 SS model. Damn, I have to get me one of those.

[@Transam941]

It does. Its between the tach and speedo. I don't care for the Navi on it.

[@bros6661]

okay but don't take credit away from the new v6 cars, they're as fast or faster then older v8s.

[@whattheheck1000]

I got to ride in a 2011 Camaro on January 26, 2012... first one of the new Camaros I've ridden in... needless to say, darn nice car, I felt so swaggin in it! I'm 19 by the way. January 27, 2012 1:18 am

[@TanisC2zz]

not really a fan of these cars bet i just love how the V6 sounds

[@mattcox3373]

Lol you’re like the only person I’ve ever seen say that

[@skyflyer900]

wgla- Beside what Im saying is based on observation. Most of the time I see a vet it is driven by an old guy (35-60) who can afford it, and knows style. But whenever I see a Camaro it is driven by some kid who thinks he's a racer and who probably sunk everything he has into buying it. and news flash buddy, vets had better engines.. no actually it was based on the option you chose when you bought it.

[@longlivethe80s]

yeah...the 80's kicked ass! i'm sure chevy fans can agree to that...

[@d14d]

Let's not make this a turf war. We all share the same space and breathe the same air. We are all here for our love of motoring, never forget that

[@XxThEnEwYoRkBeAsTxXx]

regardless, this is definitely a great car that in my opinion picks up the torch from its predecessors and carries on the true meaning of a muscle car

[@wgla]

But Audi isn't the only manufacturer with several vehicles in high demand. Detroit has a fine showing with Chevrolet's super-hot Camaro, which is sold out virtually everywhere--its sales even topped those of the iconic Ford Mustang in July. Ford's Escape and Escape Hybrid also made our list of the cars that are most difficult to get this summer. dam there it is

[@coffeejunkie33]

I test drove the Camaro 2SS Manual and liked it. The car did seem kind of bulkier than my 94 Z-28 6 spd man. My old Camaro would out corner the new one. My old Camaro having less HP would probably be able to keep up with the new Camaro despite HP difference. It's all about customizing. I liked the new Camaro but it doesn't resemble any old Camaro really. And when it came to price Holy Crap over $44K! My 94 Z-28 was way less. I kept my 94 and will only continue to keep upgrading.

[@luminaeus]

I love the look of the 80s Camaro. It's so boxy, haha. How can you compare a Camaro to a BMW? It's pretty easy, drive one then drive the other. BMWs earned their spot in the automotive hall of fame by putting a well-tuned suspension on a solid chassis. BMWs manage to blend in a comfortable ride without compromising sporting ability. Guess what? The Camaro also has a solid chassis with a well-tuned suspension. It rides comfortably and still takes corners very well. A comparison is natural.

[@lordsavoy]

I just picked up a 2011 rs ss 2 and I absolutely love it.

[@mauriciotmr]

Yes, NEW Camaro! Congratulations and lucky NEW GM!

[@Tunerboy8732]

I like that blue on the RS but I would much rather have the SS.The only thing I dont like about the new camaros is the plastic looking black grill.I would replace that with a billet grill :)

[@mucura1]

@Mach1club i actually like the new body style. It sure as hell looks better than the previous gen. I think the GTO guys got the short end of the stick when it comes to asthetics.

[@RYNORICHIE1]

The 06 concept was.Its called a Zeta platform.Its just a layout for chevy.

[@ShaneMac777]

1. The Ford GT is a super car, different class than the Camaro. 2. You 2011 Mustang fans must realize that Chevy will put out a Z28 Camaro right after the new mustang comes out just to top it. 3. The only Mustang that can top the Camaro is $55,000 Shelby GT500. Almost twice the price of the Camaro SS.

[@Heavymetal350Z]

the new camaro was design by Luciano Nakamura, GMs lead exterior designer for the Camaro, who is Japanese. and the prototype was designed in Hiroshima. so the new Camaro is part Japanese.

[@userofak47]

GM has been making cheap cars but recently the newer cars have been very impresive.

[@Pardoned]

Very nice looking road wagon. I wouldn't mind one of these if I wasn't so damn poor at the moment.

[@Live2Fly94]

Yep, I'm getting a corsa exhaust when I get mine, needs a loud deep touch.

[@Snoopy7666]

Great looking car that came to production almost straight from the car show concept car gig with only slight changes...It won't get the mileage advertised, but the EPA has been lying on those numbers for so long it's irrelevant. Take any EPA estimate by about .8 and you MIGHT do that well...With a car like the Camaro, which tempts you to gun for fun, and you may not even do that well. Reliability is another issue, but it's likely to be far better than prior generations of this model.

[@Tophermen]

For me, yeah. Why not think fuel efficiency with power and performance for a muscle car? I know for sure I do not want to be paying $50 plus each week for a car that has great power and performance, but crappy fuel mileage. Car and Drive states that the V6 3.6L Camaro gets 17 city mpg and 29 hwy mpg, and has a 19 gallon fuel tank. That's impressive for a sports car, but I have a feeling that the sticker mpg is somewhat skewed.

[@amer1cancer2753]

It is stock. I dont know if it is GSR or MR Evo X. It was a 1/4 mile run.

[@RenanGreca]

I'd get a Camaro rather than a Mustang just because it's so friggin' sexy. Afterall, the performace difference would hardly be noticeable by us mere mortals.

[@sanketkm]

Between a S3 2.0 litre turbo and a Camaro SS/RS, I would take the Camaro any day of the week. You want good gas consumption? Buy a Prius, or Honda Civic. I think they would be more suited to your needs. The Camaro does 0-100 in another test, 4,7 secs with rollout. So the Audi is outperformed and outblinged by a long way.

[@MRAWESOME22]

Ahh. I figured it out. Not that anyone else cares, but depending on what you click you get two different build your own screens. on the one it says what all the dealer installed options are and the other doesn't. so yea from the factory, about 38K is right. and then with all the dealer option stuff it's about 46K max

[@ArenaAccessories]

It's actually got 312hp, they under-rated it. The CTS has 304 with a totally different exhaust.

[@Cheznikkkk]

And the only thing that I dislike about the Camaro with the V6 (aside from the fact that it isn't a V8) is the annoying ass exhaust note. I would prefer a quiet muscle car over one that sounds like a ricer. Don't get me wrong, the new V6 is faster than a lot of the "GT" versions of other cars, perfect car for a younger person, but an exhaust mod would be a must have in my book.

[@LovinSporkful]

@jdrizzo21 I was talking about the old American cars. The US was on top of the automobile market. They had vinyl bucket seats, and leather interiors. Oldsmobile Cutlasses were fast and luxurious. They had the most comfortable seats around, and the realest looking faux wood. There was barely any cheap plastic in those cars, and they went for $3,000-$4,000, compared to Porsche cars of the era, going for around $12,000. I agree that today, we have hit rock bottom of quality, especially Ford.

[@littlegoobie]

don't know if it's true but that's the same reason i've heard about discontinuing the fiero. a kickass little mid engine pontiac that out performed the vette at a fraction of the cost.

[@TEUFELHuNDEN420]

my 91 300zx just humiliated one of these @ the track. This gotta be the best looking american made car i've seen in a looong time.

[@selbor13]

Manual has 426hp automatic has 400hp. I might be wrong but manuals seem to always have more HP than automatics of the same model

[@bigrockslider]

@whattheheck1000 the new 2012 V6 camaro is 323Hp

[@byronmohawk]

@ThunderChicken12 Because it's only a little over a second slower, gets 29mpg, and costs almost $10,000 less.

[@MRAWESOME22]

well, when i went to the camaro website and clicked "start the experience and then "build your own," the highest price i could get from it was about 46K. i guess that would be msrp and not necessarily what you'd pay at the dealer.

[@jbrian80]

I find the Chevy Suburban drives way easier than the Camaro, it so intimidating experience yet, it makes me feel manlier than driving a Suburban. The Camaro is the best value in its class, the SS accelerates and handles better than the Challenger SRT-8 for LESS and offers more displacement for buck than Challenger and Mustang. GM were known for making awesome power, but surprisingly efficient engines.

[@amer1cancer2753]

328i, 528i, and 128i. It may have a hard time but it still will beat the ss.

[@Thedudemanification]

Camaro is the best. Chevy is a lot more reliable than any other brand, especially ford. Buy a ford if you really like repairing your car monthly.

[@Revelatore]

Camaro is off the hook. Straight up!

[@amer1cancer2753]

It is the base model what do you expect. The performance for the base is right on the line with other cars such as the BMW. The Evo has a huge turbo with a small wastegate and anti lag systems of course the evo is going to beat it, the evo can beat the ss.

[@eye1em]

I'm going to hold on till the 2011 model comes out. I dont have the cash to get one now

[@brent66robbins]

lot ford fan boys are talking all about the 2011 5.0 mustang walking over the camaro, but recent test have all been against the 2010 camaro SS, 2011 specs haven't been releast, and I would apsect a surprise GM. GM performance isn't going to be lay dead on this one, they want to keep the camaro on top.

[@TheCarArchives96]

the 2010-present Chevrolet Camaro is assembled in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada

[@zazzman26]

I love the new designs of all the new muscle cars ever since ford came out w/the '05 mustang. I definitely wouldn't mind havin one of these camaros, but my very first car was a mustang so i'm stayin loyal to the pony.

[@Frank289100]

The LS engine is literally a Ford 427 engine which now dates back 46 years. Cross bolt mains, Ford oiling system also using dry sump oiling systems like the cobra. Four bolts sealing each cylinder. Sodium filled valves. Symmetrical intake and exhaust runners. The intake ports are raised vertically allowing a straight shot for much greater flow big block numbers. This all came from the Ford 427 high riser. Imagine all of this was taken from Ford. For you Chevy guy's its a sad truth.

[@tabbysp85]

lol. Dude did you not get the memo? They changed their name its: Government Motors. I like the skid test I need to watch more of those if I ever decide to buy another car. I totalled a Malibu once-raining, curve, tree,skid. Don't care to much for the 0-60 thing-but that's just me apparently.

[@MRAWESOME22]

For the base price. You can get up to like $46K with all the factory options.

[@philster628]

Cant wait, i'm renting one for prom this year!

[@7stefan7vn]

when are they going to do the test with the new camaro, mustang and challenger

[@EngleSackJus]

*As a college dude I really wanted one. I have a good job. Only one major set of problems to look in the mirror with. When you really add in all the overall costs. It's not worth it. Think about it. Your messing around with high weekly fuel costs, maintenance service, high Insurance, Car payments unless your rich, new tires when you burn em out, and police want to nail your ass to the wall for driving a unecological beast on theyre highways especially if your black.

[@lukaszlew77]

This car looks amazing for me. Truly beautiful, but on this red one, there should be black stripes and black rims.

[@cvin519]

I was expecting Bumblebee to show up, but guess not. The silver camaro is definitely the sexiest, and the car itself is very sexy. Damn I want one, yellow with the black stripes and please let it come with alien technology to transform itself!

[@kblopp]

The Mustang hasnt beat the Camaro since 1992. Cold hard facts

[@Mechknight73]

@Marshmallowrex They build them in North America, and they were designed by Holden, the Australian wing of GM. They have about as much in common with Rice burners as AC/DC fans would with the opera

[@CS1503]

Sure the Mustang is faster (for now) but there are WAY too many of them! Both of them have their pros & cons but I believe the Camaro is a much better choice if you just take a minute to think about it.
