Is the 2019 Chevy Camaro RS a HIT or MISS?

The 2019 Chevy Camaro RS has received a redesigned exterior that is catching a lot of attention. Under the hood os the tried and true 3.6L V6 mated to an 8 speed automatic gearbox. Has Chevrolet moved the Camaro in the wrong direction, or did they hit the nail on the head?

[@Speed_and_Power]

V6 is 335 hp and 284 pound feet of torque. With a manual it can do 0-60 in 5 seconds flat. ( that’s faster than a Challenger R/T and Ecoboost Mustang)

[@RaitisRides]

I totally tripped over my thoughts with that. I am so sorry about that! You are so very right with the 0-60. I think it would be a good run between the Mustang EcoBoost with the 10 speed.

[@norwegianblue2017]

Thanks for clarifying that. Was wondering how it got such good 0-60 with less than 300hp, which is similar to my 2011 Acura V6.

[@99-Zulu]

@@norwegianblue2017 The 4 cylinder Camaro isn't too far behind. Quickest I've seen a turbo 4 Camaro go to 60 is 5.3 secs. Which at that point, the sensation you get from the acceleration is hardly noticable.

5 years after buying this car new for my 16 year-old son, it drives just as well today as on day 1. It is a shamelessly hot car and I love seeing on the road. Younger brother inherited it 2 years later. Super cool kids already, this car was the cherry on the top of an incredible high school experience for both of them. Will be sad to see it go soon as they move on in life.

I am so glad that you are enjoying your Camaro! Thank you for sharing your input based off of your ownership!

[@dperaltaful]

Thanks for reviewing the RS v6 instead of just the run of the mil SS review! So I owned a 17 2lt 2.0 and hated having it on a Camero just because it doesn't feel like it belongs in that car. It was pretty quick and prob no much slower on a 0-60 but the sound is better on the V6 for sure and thinking the power delivery would be more consistent than that 2.0. One thing when I owned mine is the lost opportunity of not having a cut out on center of the dash to hold key's, Wallet, phone etc. That would have been smart b/c that dash is cheap and slippery too. Im so glad they put leather material on the side panels where your knee hits against... that cheap plastic surface was horrible. I think the V6 might be the right choice especially after the nose job on the SS!

I love reading comments about the Camaro😂 my respect for the car has gone up actually since I was younger. I guess for others it’s not the same, but there are a few things I would change of course, because no car is perfect. Also I see a lot of things about the car’s visibility, and I’m not bragging, I’ve just been more fortunate than others in the fact I’ve sat in high end low slung exotic cars, and I’ve seen REALLY low visibility before, so cars like the newer Camaro I’ve learned to deal with their visibility better. What a great video though dude👍🏼 I enjoy a lot of the videos about the 2019s and so far I think this is the best ones I’ve seen. 😁😁😁

RS = really slow, you are the only guy that would make me watch a Chevy car video. Even though you have so many amazing Ford videos

[@Maljey]

Very much considering purchasing this car later this year. I'm too poor for the SS model. It's almost 10K more, plus extra insurance & extra gas. Can't do it. It's going to be my all year daily driver, so the lower V6 cost will be great. Something else to consider is not only does the V6 get better gas mileage, it also takes 87 octane. That's pretty rare for a performance car, and a nice benefit for those of us wanting good performance on a budget. I'm debating between this, Ecoboost Mustang and WRX. I live in a region which does get snow and has a good amount of hills, so the WRX would be the 'safe' choice. However I think I'll be able to manage with a RWD car on snow tires and extra weight (sandbags) in the trunk for added traction. If I do go with the V6 Camaro, I'm going to skip the RS package. Honestly doesn't seem worth it. The 20in wheels don't appeal to me that much, and I'm kinda meh on the headlights. I'll be buying aftermarket wheels when I get the snow tires anyway.

[@AA-BB]

hold off a year and save for the SS or you’ll regret it

[@RaitisRides]

That is exactly what I would do!

[@Maljey]

@@AA-BB Bro it's more than just the initial cost of the SS. Everything is more expensive. Gas, tires, insurance. If it was just a higher base price only then yeah I would swing for it, but those other costs are more than I'm willing to spend. Also, I'm coming from a life of base Honda Civics and 4 cyl family sedans. A V6 Camaro is going to be faster than anything I've ever owned haha.

[@RaitisRides]

I daily drive a V6 2012 camaro. It’s Great, I’m a teenager so it’s perfect for me. Insurance isn’t crazy and gas is manageable. Also the girls love it (; only people that are gonna worry about the engine are guys. Great thing is... you can still have a lot of fun in the car. The V6 pulls a lot. But isn’t the new one a 4 cyl with turbo?

[@rudfil]

This Camaro is a love/hate thing for me. Its a great chassis, drives fantastic and looks really cool but the interior design is a disaster..lol. After looking at Mustangs for a while I checked out and drove a '18 Camaro with a 4cyl. and I was smitten by its handling and steering but the interior is what bothers me about this car. I may over look its cheap plasticky interior and poor storage space to go ahead and get the new '19 2LT Camaro w/V6 and own it until I tire of driving it daily since I am 59.

V6 and 300hp is nothing to dismiss but growing up in the 70's and early 80's the V6 Camaro is what Girls drove. A guy would never drive a V6 Camaro. Guess that is why so many remove the RS badge. $40,000 for 300hp? My GTI tunes stage 1+ has 310hp and 358ftlbs. Weighing 3,100 lbs it likely feels better to drive than a 3,500+ lb car. Rear wheel drive will not be much use in snow and even in rain will hurt. At $40,000 the VW R with AWD and 300+hp is the better buy. Also much better interior and build.

[@RaitisRides]

Very good points you bring up! I appreciate you sharing your input and perspective!

[@Joe_Friday]

That's what I've screamed for years. I'd never even consider driving a 4 or 6 cylinder muscle car. V8 all the way. If I'm going for less than a V8 I'd rather drive a STI, Golf R, Type R etc. Surely those cars would also hold value waaay better than a base Mustang or Camaro too. Also, every car guy that sees you in the V6 is gonna say, "Aw, it's just a V6 Camaro/Mustang." There will be no appreciation of the car.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for the great comment! I really appreciate you watching!

[@ivannevistic1088]

V6 Camaro probably sell more overseas where big engines are not the usual everyday thing as in the States theres plenty of countrys where havin' 6 cylinders is already badass despite is a 6 or 8 banger!

[@Joe_Friday]

@@ivannevistic1088 I could see that overseas but like I've said to others a 4 or 6 cylinder in say a Camaro, Mustang or Challenger etc just doesn't seem right. The purpose of these cars is to have raw power. If they actually give them good handling too then that's great. If I think of a good performing car with let's say a 4 cylinder then I'm thinking of Subarus, Hondas etc. For example I'd much rather have something like a Type R or an STI if I'm gonna have a 4 cylinder. A "muscle" car with no muscle just doesn't seem right. Think of a true body builder as a V8 Camaro vs a synthol oil user as a V6 or 4 cylinder Camaro.

[@linchester8464]

OOF! 40 grand for a V6 RS is kinda steep if you ask me That same amount will prob get you the base Mustang GT V8 or the GT Prem which is 39 grand and some pocket change back. Styling wise for the exterior, the Camaro LS/LT looks bulky and plain looking to me. The SS is the most horrible looking children of the bunch. No pun intended. I feel that the 1LE Track package just like the Ford Performance Pack gives the plain Jane Camaro an aggressive look. And it includes the bigger brake calipers from Brembo, performance suspension, upgraded cooling, LSD and black out hood and a nice factory front splitter. I tried to match the Camaro turbo 4 banger with the Ecoboost Mustang with all the bell and whistle similar to what both could offer. The Mustang Ecoboost Performance Pack 6 speed manual fully loaded with goodies comes at around $42,755. The Camaro 2LT 1LE Track pack oddly even with all the possible options comes around $38,845. Point to Chevy for pricing. Thou 2 points have to be given to Ford for having Magnaride and Active exhaust on the Ecoboost, while one point is given to Chevy for giving the option of the Brembo 6 pot big brake kit. Gauge cluster, IMO Ford takes the win here with the 12 inch full LCD. And I find the center console LCD on the Camaro looked like a Android tablet that is glued on to the dashboard to me. Chevy was trying to borrow the style of air vents similar to the AMG GT but failed to give it a nice airplane feel to it. I am wondering why is there a light bar on the cup holder. I don't need a light to see where i put my sippy cup. Ford gives you the option to have the 10 speed auto even on the 4 banger is another point to Ford. The Camaro 1LE Track package has only a 6 speed manual option. Otherwise, both have decent Premium sound system options, Bose for the Camaro and B&O for the Mustang. And both can be fitted with Recaros seats. I watched another KZbin channel where one guy traded his Camaro for a Golf GTi. His main complain for the car is the hefty insurance premium and financing since its a Muscle car. And the boot and rear legroom is terrible. It prob down to individual taste and brand preferences. You can't have best of both worlds and you do have to make sacrifices if you decide to buy any brand. Great video And thank you Tom.

I wasn't aware the V6 kept the 8-speed auto though, so that was interesting! I'd love to see Ford bring back a V6 (perhaps the 400hp/400lb ft 3 litre twin turbo from Lincoln)..........just so long as a normally aspirated V8 is still available.

The softer vinyl or leather top tend to crack over the years, unless really cared for, due to the sun damaging it. That's a nice looking car, and I've always been a V-8 man myself, but after watching the video and how fast this 6 banger takes off, I might have to reconsider. You'd make a great car salesman Joe. You got the presentation down cold. Keep em' comin', thanks!

[@RaitisRides]

Thank you Paul for your excellent points! I think if the material had a different texture or pattern my view would change! I really appreciate the compliment! I jut really love sharing my passion for cars! Thank you for being so great!

[@SocketToMe]

To be honest, why do car reviews always point out hard plastic in places it makes complete sense, like the top of the dash? As long as it looks good, what’s the big deal? No one touches these spots other than on initial view... Again, as long as it looks good, why is it bad for an OEM to save cost and weight?

[@bennybodash855]

SocketToMe They use all low quality materials.

[@RaitisRides]

I totally understand where you are coming from! It doesn't look good. I wish it had a different texture!

[@RaitisRides]

So very true!

[@maverickmason4946]

I very much prefer the 16-18 model year RS. It was perfect. This IDK kinda meh.

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you!

[@Puck90a]

Not only is the 16-18 a great looking camaro, I think it's one of the best looking cars ever made. WHY MESS WITH IT???? They should have run that design for several years. I'm curious why they decided to ditch it, and replace it with a design that's so....iffy.

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

I'm thinking of buy a used 19' Chevy Camaro.

[@joshgessinger4509]

Not a V8 but will smoke fox body 5.0 or the 4.6 modulers As fast as a 2002 SS camaro or the 300 hp vets. My 18 RS will do 13.6 at 105 mph in the 1/4. Thats as fast as any mussel car from back in the day. Faster than irocs or Z28’s most of them anyway. Its a really fast V6 is what it is not as fast as today’s v8’s but as fast or faster than yesteryear’s. To bad the price has gone up bought my 18 RS in 18 with 3000 miles for $25000. Like u mentioned great fuel mileage 20 average over 30 highway. My wife drives ours daily in winter here in upstate NY its a awesome fun car. I might by another one twin turbo it be a great fun affordable hot rod. Have turbos already was going to put on ours but after 5 winters idk if ill keep or not. Good video Thanks.

[@TjD__99]

I like Camaro's, I kind of wish Chevy would have done a Hide away Headlight option to pay homage to the 1967 RS/SS model.

[@RaitisRides]

That would of been amazing! Great suggestion!

[@DucatiDiaries]

Brother you took the words out of my mouth on the bowtie. Although the black is an improvement, I wish they'd remove all Chevy emblems and replace with "Camaro" or "SS" or "RS." Note it only says Ford in one small place (top of windshield) where you can't even see it on my GT350 and on regular GT's. Smart move.

[@RaitisRides]

Great minds think a like! Thank you for sharing your input!

[@Venom143_JR]

I purchased a 2019 Camaro rs and i love the car...but i wanted to know if theres a way you can use the gps on the screen without useing a wire connecting to your phone?i want to use it wirelessly

[@RaitisRides]

That is a great question! Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@1992justinz]

I just bought a 2019 R/S package. Was wondering the same question as Juan. Was told it has built in GPS on the screen. Haven't been able to figure it out.

[@darkin10t61]

Yes I have the 2019 3.6l non-rs and did alot of research on this. An sd card with the maps and flash for the software is available IF you have the 8 inch screen. The sd card slot in the armrest (under USB ports) is what it is meant to be uploaded with. It costs around 200.00

[@Slotsforfun2]

Does anyone know if there’s color changing lights for the inside? Can’t seem to find the option

[@darrylnelson05]

Love my 2019 V6 Camaro. My last vehicle was a V8 Mustang and yes I took advantage of that GM rebate money.

[@pjkr123]

I came from the future, this car became a BENCHMARK for the next gen 2020 Blazer

[@willoverkill]

That V6 would look even better with an Overkill supercharger on it. The 2019 RS restyling looks nice in this color, in particular around back. Good review

[@RaitisRides]

Thank you for the compliment and I would love to see this car with a blower!

[@iaj7517]

What color is this?

[@pontiacGXPfan]

I wish this camaro was cheaper than it is on the secondary market.....330 horsepower on regular gas? sign me up

[@NashKetchum]

Imo the 1LE package, while great, is a waste unless you live in an area with perfect roads and plan to track it very often. $4,500 is a LOT of money. If you plan to daily drive this, get a base V6 with a stick. Maybe the 2LT for heated+cooled leather seats/extras. RS package looks nice but is $2k and is purely aesthetic, minus the upgrade from 18” to 20” wheels, which is not a good thing btw. Pro tip, go with smaller wheels and bigger sidewall tires. Car handles better, is significantly more comfortable, tires are way cheaper, and car will be slightly faster due to lighter rims. A 2LT manual with v6 rings in at $29.5k, and that is before any haggling. $27k our the door is common on these, which is bananas. You get a well optioned dedicated sports coupe for the price of a fully loaded corolla. Love the 2019 looks, personally.

[@RaitisRides]

Thank you so much for sharing your great input and thoughts! I really appreciate you taking the time to do that!

[@jmhellison]

I'd much much rather the V8 and would never buy this car with a V6. That said, the V6 is no slouch.

[@zero00-100]

I think the RS looks fine. It's just the SS that looks odd.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!

[@jimmmyz169]

Wow I like the look more than the v8! Real tempting! Edit: After hearing the MSRP, more tempting when it's slightly used and half the price.

[@RaitisRides]

Thank you for sharing you input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!

[@mrholoway7843]

Absolute facts, got the 6 because I like the look better

[@jesusbaez4427]

Great review very thorough in my opinion and ( got yourself a new subscriber ) your right about the RS BADGES they should replace the bowtie especially for the $$. better brakes would be nice as well but $40k for a V6 PASS!!!

[@RaitisRides]

Thank you so much for the compliment and I am very grateful you are joining this journey with me! I totally understand where you are coming from with your points!

[@shanepressley831]

For my unpopular opinion, the body really hasn't altered drastically from the 2010 comeback body. The newer ones just have more refined, sleeker body panels and a sharper front end but overall still shows of the same overall body style.

[@RaitisRides]

Thank for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!

[@zmanmotors6649]

Just got the 2SS in jet black. I love it!!!

[@chrishasse2871]

Would my 72 year old mother have a difficult time getting in and out of this car?

[@entombedentity7059]

I GUESS THEY NEVER MISS HUH

[@RaitisRides]

I guess it depends on who you ask. Thanks for watching!

[@austinrasmussen1870]

You got a boyfriend

I am married! Thanks for watching!

Austin Rasmussen he doesn’t understand 😂

@@RaitisRides #rwoosh

[@ryantidwell19]

I love the camaro platform. Especially seeing mustang and camaro both in person. Camaro has its downs but has a higher quality set up. Which to me is more important. And the SS in hyper blue looks amazing in person I think along with the mosaic black rims

[@RaitisRides]

I am so glad tat you liked this one Ryan! Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective!

[@Evillt1]

The new Camaro in general is a miss...just looking at sales numbers...nobody's buying these ugly cars! mustang and challenger are crushing these ugly gm,s! Gm in general is doomed! Boycott gm people!

[@RaitisRides]

I appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you so much for watching!

[@tomc8854]

I think they’ve done all they can with this body style. It’s basically a modern version of the first generation. I would love to see them do a modern version of the lower, sleeker second gen Camaro!

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you Tom on that!

[@justinschultz4325]

I checked this out. I'm in the market for a used 6th gen Camaro. That V6 has great power. Nice sound too! Looks like it shifts at nearly 7,000 RPMs.

[@pricey000]

It was honestly just the grill, ever since they connected that middle piece together it’s looked fine to me

[@RaitisRides]

Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch!

[@2010challengerRT]

The front end of the SS is the big miss. RS not so bad looking.

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you!

[@ericgonzalez3553]

2010-13 and 2016-18 are the best camaros in my opinion

[@patcurrie9888]

V6 2LT you get leather on top of door and knee pads with NAV, light package and memory seats, no change from 16-18, What's the color name? Looks darker than Riverside Blue, but overcast day.

[@RaitisRides]

It's called shadow gray metallic! I appreciate you taking the time to comment and ask questions!

[@myvalium1]

Thnx Joe. Really great review - very informative. Nice car - sounds surprisingly good for a six. Having said that - I’d only be happy if it had the V8. I took this gen Camaro for a test drive when it was introduced. The limited visibility was an obvious issue. I’m guessing it’s something that would become less of an issue after some seat time. Look forward to your video on the SS

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very welcome! I am totally in agreement with you! I can't wait to drive it and feel the difference!

[@hatchell18]

get your facts straight man, you said this v6 has 275hp??? that's the 4 cylinder. The v6 has 350hp not 275. Otherwise great vid

[@version.x342]

V6 has 335HP I believe, not 350

[@stealthmode8444]

“Pin the RS on the camaro” lol

A total hit when you see it in person is awesome, love your videos man great content greetings from Bolivia and happy new year

MUAH

[@phantomstratocaster]

If any vehicle could benifit from a rear engine its the camarro ,them they could drop the hieght of the front eliminating thay M1 Abrams look.

[@RaitisRides]

I think you might be the first person to ever suggest that for a Camaro! Maybe after Chevrolet has completed the mid-engine Corvette this will be next on the list? Hey you never know!

[@sublimegt500]

I actually prefer sippy cups LOL

Nothing wrong with that! lol

[@pokegmaestro4631]

[@JC-bc1zk]

I picked up a 2019 RS 3LT convertible last month. I love the new front grill and rear lights. The car is total fun to drive and I was impressed with the quality and leather. The 3lt has blind spot and backup camera so back visabilty is not an issue. The mustang convertible has no metal cover for the roof when folded so you see the canvas and arms when the roof is down. Leaves and dirt get inside. Totally unacceptable. The Camaro metal roof cover looks super expensive. . Great job on your reviews. Keep up the good work .

[@MC-ie8xl]

I’m looking to buy this Camaro, any advice on the vehicle or should I go for something else
