Is the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro SS the BETTER sports car to BUY than a Mustang GT?

It is the FINAL YEAR of the Camaro from Chevrolet for 2024. On the outside of this Redline Edition you will notice uniq gloss black painted 20in wheels, body colored front splitter and black rear wing. On the inside you will be greeted by a black & red leather interior. Under the hood is a 6.2L V8 that churns out 455HP & is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Happened to call Gibbs Chevrolet in Palm Coast Florida. Salesman said the guy who had put a $500 deposit on the car had just called thirty minutes earlier and asked for his deposit back. I asked if they were doing a supplemental on the Panthers. He said he would sell it for MSRP. Had it since 11/23. I go to the garage and rub it somewhere daily.

This is a beautiful well-equipped convertible, but that NPP exhaust I would argue is a must-have option. It certainly can be addressed in the aftermarket, but of course will cost more than the $1000. factory option would have.

Great video Joe!!! It sucks to see the Camaro gone. They stopped the 2024 production line in December. So shitty of GM. However I do prefer the Mustang S650 over the SS.

Then again, the way things look, electric car sales aren’t looking so good and a lot of companies are losing money. Dodge and Chevy will realize how much money they’ll be losing making a bad choice to kill the v8. Also, I hate the fact that part of the reason Chevy is killing the SS is to push sells of the overpriced corvette smh. I love Vettes, but they’re just WAY TOO expensive at the moment.

I’m a mustang guy. Another great review! HP sells cars, torque wins races, someone once said. I am surprised they didn’t do red stitching. Chevy always seems to outdo Ford with the interior but it looks like they cut back a little. The billboard screens in the new mustangs don’t do anything for me but probably tickle the younger crowd. I think the interior is great. These cars are for driving, not a home office. That’s a hell of a car and must be a blast to drive. Tremec trans is worth a lot too! Great looking car. 👍

Both Mustang and Camaro's are great cars in their own right but this Camaro pushrod V8 has the grunt down in the lower rpms where you would want it IMO, I owned a 1970 Chevelle SS with 396 V8 so I would probably get one of these Camaros over the Mustang, - American Muscle with low end power and a great tremec manual trans makes this a classic style American Muscle Sports Car already. Also Chevy will still support it for many years into the future so there is no issue in the respect that they aren't making any more.

I just couldn't get over the two big screens. We need to watch the road and those around us, not Oh hey look at that screen or this one while driving. If your tastes, go that way great. I have never owned a Camaro, even after building them. Until now. Only an SS 1 with some performance touches. I really enjoy the car. The recaro's are comfy, the gage package can be left to just what you need right there, no game show going on. It's an auto due to finding a six speed can be a Challange due to the build is over. I was late to the party. My last mustang was a 2016 GT performance package that I had ordered and put FORD performance parts I added. This Camaro stock runs every bit as nice and feels great. Better in some ways. Gald, you got to review the 2024. Oh, the EV they call a Mustang. I really hope that the Camaro doesn't come back as a four-door joke. High hybrid Coupe OK, as long as they keep it simple with performance in mind.
