New Chevy Camaro SS 1LE Manual: Is This The Perfect Balance Of Power And Handling???

[@sammacintyre2583]

If you don’t need the track stuff the LT1 @ $35k is a bargain. I’ve seen them in the low 30s recently. Very tempting.

Face it, the SS 1LE is dope.

[@HRCfan17]

GM has had the skip shift in its manuals since at least the 90s of not the 80s. It tries to force you from 1st to 4th. It comes on at the most annoying times like you witnessed when turning left into an intersection. You can avoid it by shifting early or holding the shift till it goes away. You can also avoid it by giving it more throttle. There is also a skip shift eliminator you can install. The message will still come up but the solenoid won’t activate. I have it on the SS sedan and it’s not only annoying but i feel it’s also dangerous at times.

[@TheReaper88]

So explain how that works for someone wanting to buy one of these. I test drove a 2022 manual and I was kinda rusty on manuals as it's been since 2006 since I drove a Ford ranger manual lol. So I have no clue about shift skip

[@jb99rapp]

@@TheReaper88 I continue to daily drive my 2015, after a few weeks you get used to the skip shift and can work around it. Getting a smooth shift with these transmissions are a little tricky however with some practice you can really have some fun with it.

[@shanerivers8141]

It's to avoid "gas gussler" tax and keep MSRP down. Chevrolet knows we don't like it. They don't either.

[@EssMotorsports]

Funny you mention the long hood and being careful with parking. This is so true it is deceiving long! I'm guilty...

[@Raven09s]

Thats a 2SS 1LE. The 1SS 1LE won't have the heated steering wheel, ventilated seats, camera rear view mirror, blind spot monitoring, or the interior accent lighting.

[@kenmccune8843]

I like the black on the hood on Camaro awesome sport car beautiful white color Chevrolet built a cool car

[@blackice7408]

This is what chevy should do if they seriously wanna boost sales om the camaro: Put the same lt2 engine in the c8 in the ss trim of the camaro. So the lt1 camaro will have the lt1 455 hp engine and the more expensive ss trim will have the more powerful lt2 engine. That will justify the price bump of the ss and it will have more hp than the scatpack. It will have the camaro performing high 3s 0-60 and low 12s to even high 11s

[@Linknelson]

Bet that’s what Gm does, if they do extend past 2023. Or that would be the new Z28 to answer to the new Mach 1 and keep the z28 NA with no SC

[@TheAow4321]

@@Linknelson The Mach 1 is an answer to the SS 1LE... and its still slower around a road course...

[@Cardiakk]

@@Linknelson Probably won't see another Z28 due to the low sales of the last one. On top of that, Camaro sales are trailing the Mustang and Challenger in general.

[@tomfreeman3640]

The SS does give you tire Temp in the drive screen. Here we only saw the "info" screen. Also, just an FYI, if your in 1st gear, and it takes you longer than 3 seconds to get above 30 mph, meaning you're driving casual, the gate automatically directs you to 4th gear. If you drive the least bit aggressively you don't get that fuel saving gate to 4th. To try forcing it into 2nd gear can cause transmission damage. Great job reviewing the car. No better bang for your buck than the Camaro SS!!!

[@JCTiggs1]

Is it OK to shift down to 1st gear going 40 mph? I know it's a Tremec but seems like it good be hard on the transmission.

[@tomfreeman3640]

@@JCTiggs1 you can certainly downshift to 1st if you're doing no more than 40 mph, but you're go onna wanna make sure that you you either blip the throttle or have the rev match on. The engine is made for high revs, so find where you're comfortable in 1st before upshifting to 2nd, and right around that speed or rpm is where you're best suited to downshift 8nto 1st. Hope I'm making sense. 😂

Funny thing I live in California and they band the sells of the car in January because of the brake pads.

not it doesn't tell you what gears to skip. that's a feature called skip shift. GM has been using it in their f body cars and corvettes since 1993. it locks you out of 2nd and puts you into 4th for fuel economy. its simply the worlds most annoying feature. fortunately companies make a plug for the wiring harness to delete this feature

[@batman-telephoneman5479]

The problem with GM is that they build low quality cars. Yes the engine may be a good engine, but what about all the stuff attached to it? I owned a 90s camaro. The actual switch to turn the AC on went bad... When is the last time you ever had a switch go bad on you? Well if it was built by GM it very well may. This among a lot of other problems. The other issue is the visibility. The Camaro doesn't have any. Then there's practicality. Why are scatpacks selling like hotcakes? They are practical and you could drive them every day comfortably. Do the math and u can see why these cars simply aren't selling.

[@FL50ssp]

I've replaced ac switches in 2 fords and a Mazda... I guess those cars are "low quality" as well using your logic. You do know most manufacturers outsource the ancillary parts and pieces to third parties right? The point is the actual part is not manufactured by the Car Maker directly, in this case, the ac switch. As for visibility how much actual time do you have driving a 5th or 6th gen Camaro? I'm guessing zero and you are parroting the usual internet BS.
