[@FPSOrangeTV]

Anyone else watching this in 2018 because you can't afford a 6th Gen SS and you don't wanna get teased for owning a V6

[@TheKing-dm3br]

DevinB Automotive yea...:’(

[@FPSOrangeTV]

The King sameeee lmao

[@mikeu.s.n.9099]

Yup

[@dariojob100]

yes lol

[@hotboym9376]

Yes I have an 2002.....

[@SwishaSilva]

I don't care how much of a Mustang fanboy you are, nothing will beat the roar of a LS engine.

[@rodrigoaragon2394]

Alex Silva dnt care how much u camaro lovers love your ls the coyote will always sound better

[@_LEONKING_]

They both sound just as good in my opinion, american V8 all sound great but if you want a exhaust note that will beat american I'd the 6.2L Amg is just a killer. I love Americans over Germans but their V8s just sound so much better

[@Fr3sh-Kush]

Lol glad i like both😎

[@deecee4644]

I own a nice sounding Mustang GT with all the usual aftermarket goodies - exhaust, CAI, tune etc but nothing beats the sound and performance of the LS6, hands down. Looking forward to getting my Camaro this coming year.

[@isaachunt5799]

yep the ls is miles better engine..the coyote is a pos imho...

[@elijiahmartin5442]

Everytime he gets to higher RPM his mouth opens wider

[@MrGaMeR777DP]

I definitely prefer camaros exhaust over mustangs. Sounds more muscly.

[@ukaszs419]

Me too, please tell me, this was stock exhaust?

[@coop4274]

Łukasz S no it’s not stock lol. It’s a chambered exhaust. Watch the review he mentions it lol.

[@everythingjonathan8008]

Łukasz S the 45th edition already has different sounding exhaust than normal and then the person upgraded it more

[@cnnlive10]

I test drove one of these after watching this video. It's now in my drive way!

[@_LEONKING_]

I came here because I found a Camaro being sold with a couple bolt ons done to it by the dealer that's selling it and it comes with extended warranty. I hope I can tell the same story as you when I decide to go check the car out

[@uscgsj9549]

León how did it go?

[@sheliasmith1536]

cnnlive10 me too

[@shmoofgang]

That's about to be me

[@Schluckebierd]

pre facelift 5th gen's exterior is way cooler than post facelift

[@graczmisiek]

they tried to modernise the retro look and that just doesn't make sense. What's the point of making another car look more like a toy like all the supercars

[@Polack101]

You can literally see the blood rushing thru ur face every time u floor it lol.

[@rooftopshootaz8927]

That means he loves what he does lol

[@BlakesGarage]

+WALDO I found you.

[@thestang8289]

Im sure this is the reason like many people including myself love hearing him say "lets see how it does" 8:41

[@holdthissl]

The stang your really not even lying

[@Mustang46liters]

The stang definitely. I personally enjoy all of his reviews but the high horsepower cars are always my favorite

[@thestang8289]

*****​ Toushé

[@Frostxgrizzly]

"shall we?"

[@thestang8289]

Frostxgrizzly​ lol

[@jtubbs7135]

This guy always cracks me up when he gets on the gas.

[@TWRX_Chuck]

Those turn signal/wiper stalks are so enormous. I can't unsee little arms reaching out trying to hug you.

[@NickMurray]

What a beast

[@joshuaviloria9621]

This made me appreciate my 2012 SS even more! Recently straight piped it and man does it scream. Thank you for your awesome reviews Matt.

[@HGChannel2020]

arms getting bigger bro

[@a7xliker]

RB26 likeaboss Swoleasaurus rex

[@brandonmiramontes7059]

Its all those going around the backroad clutching Lol

[@HGChannel2020]

Sal1 99 compenstating for the lack of displacement on his ecoboost. jkkkkkkkkkkkkkk hahaha

[@Jason-512]

I'll never understand why the owners of these cars don't clean them out before the review.

[@devantelewis8535]

I’m here watching this in 2019 like i want a camaro

[@StreetSpeed717]

Little changes make a big difference! Great job as always Matt! I'm a little underwhelmed by what I've seen of the 6th gen so far but I'm withholding judgment until it actually comes out

[@TheKing-dm3br]

Street Speed 717 I’m surprised to find you here! :D

[@danielrocha-garcia8609]

I got myself a 2011 Camaro 2SS with the manual and I was debating with getting myself the 6th gen one but I’m actually very happy with my choice and think I made the right one because I really do enjoy the retro feel they put into this car. There’s little things that you wouldn’t notice if you didn’t know but still look good regardless. From the headlights, to the track pack gauges in the center console, the big 3 spoke steering wheel, all the way to the gauges in the dash. So much work was put into this car to make it seem like a retro classic camaro and although there’s a lot of V6 ones out there, the V8s even with the automatic L99 are ALOT of fun. And the cool factor you feel really is awesome. Also when someone knows that you have an SS it feels good. I specifically took out all the SS badging on mine and left the stock black bow ties so the only way people can know are the fake hood vent in the front

[@supersteve1585]

How does the manual gear shifter feel because I hear couple of people complain about not great shifter feel on the SS.

[@sebastianromero420]

When you started talking, I thought I had the playback sped up, but when I checked, it was normal. 😂

[@vetty8751]

I really wanted a camaro SS but then I drove the C6 corvette, feel in love and went with the C6. I still want an SS though but I want to buy a 2010-2013 model because I don't like the 2014's rear lights, the car is a masterpiece though.

[@a.quintero8373]

I agree.... except with the 2016 models lol reminds me of the c7 rear light

[@zachdavis3974]

I've been subbed for a while now and have enjoyed every review you upload greatly.

[@coreyoakes340]

Do a 2009 Crown Victoria And Lincoln Town Car Side By Side Review please

[@aquateen77723]

^^ Yes, this!

[@aj-95p95]

😍😍😍 Personally I like more the 5th gen. There's something about the 6th gen that really doesn't convince me, it might just be its design but its performance definitely improved from what i've heard. I'll just have to wait and see until it's released.

[@11bvette10]

I like 5th gens, but they're tanks, stock for stock a 4th gen SS could beat it. I believe Chevy is going the right way with the 6th gen making it lighter/smaller and LT1 powered. The design could've been better though.

[@aj-95p95]

TheDirtyBirdLT1​ Yeah don't get me wrong, they are definitely going the right way from what I've heard but the design looks a bit outdated in MY opinion 😔 But oh well hopefully its performance makes up for it! :P

[@notasolution]

You guys like the pre face lifted 5th gens (2009-2013) or the face lifted ones (14/15s)? Personally I love the way the 2014 and 2015s look but a lot of people like the earlier 5th gens better. Idk, just wanna know which other people prefer haha

[@aj-95p95]

Kenny M Hmmm i like both honestly, but I like more the '09-'13 models they just look more muscle and menacing imo! ☺ But I pretty much like the '14/'15 just as much hahaha

[@11bvette10]

+Kenny M I prefer the 98-02 catfish front end lol

[@toeknee811]

great review, I have been shopping for a camaro SS, preferably 2010-13 cause I love that body style.

[@zachg9065]

Great Video as always Matt. Love the 5th Gen Camaros. My mom had a 2010 SS and loved it!

[@johnson_brandon1356]

Your Mom had a Camaro? What a badass mom :)

[@isaachunt5799]

one of the greatest cars ever made...million times better than the s550 mustang.i have owned a 2013 2ss and buying another one next week

[@AaronBond007]

Love the grin you always get when you tromp the accelerator... and I love the exhaust note the upgraded exhaust system gives... one of my favorite things on mine... snap, crackle and pop...

[@ethangee96]

Great review matt, it looks like you had a lot of fun with this review! It sounds amazing as well, and I bet it's even better in person!

[@angry_tankdriver4549]

Every time I watch this video, it makes me anxious for April to get my 45th out of winter storage

[@Lax10000000]

I love how it just keeps on getting louder and louder

[@stanleyperez5396]

this is 100th review car, congrats

[@simmsationcannon6270]

this was one of your best reviews. you really seemed to enjoy that car. you should get that one instead of your gt.

[@BoKush]

I have a bone stock 2013 2SS/RS with a factory optioned Hurst short throw shifter.. I absolutely love it. The only difference is I have the updated touch screen radio that Chevy introduced in 2013 and it exceptional! loved seeing this review because it is pretty much my car, Thank you for such a great review!

[@brandoneleven]

ian bokesch same haha

[@TomDeVito]

Your reviews keep getting better and better keep up the great work man

[@ajeirj]

I loved seeing you enjoy the car!

[@gigatron2008]

great review! Love the SS I'm still debating which out of the three to buy. right now the camaro is the cheapest(used) and it felt awesome to drive!

[@ABMTV01]

7 years later and used 5th gens are usually going more than mustangs and challengers from the same era unfortunately, still gonna save up for a nice used one tho!

[@sb-ml9iv]

The sound is so fucking amazing

[@batmanxgr]

in 2012, the camaro got a slight refresh to the interior. new steering wheel, gauges and soft touch materials on dash. the 45th camaro, only for 2012, has 45th graphics on the hood and trunk door (Missing from the camaro in video), badging on side and unique factory wheels. It would have been nice to review a stock 45th anniversary camaro.

[@coryschmoyer9386]

Nice review man, I am trying to decide over one of these and a 11-14 Coyote Mustang.

[@claytonl644]

U liftin?

[@Francolepe94]

Great Review man!! I really feel like you gave the car the justice it deserved !!

[@scottcollins7513]

Great sounding V8. Seems like w/ the staggered tire widths the car would be very prone to understeer -- did you notice any? Cool car. Fun review.

[@MrScooterboy53]

You review some of the best sounding cars man like wow did that sound awesome

[@chuyonthego]

Am I the only one that also gets exited when he accelerates?

[@kevindelavega3746]

You can leave 😂

[@austinsmith675]

Omg THATS where the aux port is!! Always just assumed there wasn’t one cause it’s not on the dash haha

[@rs4jay]

I can't wait for him to review a sixth gen Camaro! He also needs to get a review on the Hellcat, I can't wait to see his reaction on that hahah!

[@iRobYourLunch]

Nice little surprise video! I was expecting the Chrysler 200 or the CTS-V this week. Glad to have gotten the Camaro :)

[@danthecarguy5494]

This video made me just take the plunge on a Camaro ss It has been my greatest car purchase so far and I am happy with it if anyone is thinking about it get one the 5th gen is starting to drop in value and they make 360-370whp from the factory what more would you want stock.

[@terrytolentino8709]

Favorite part of his videos is when he floors it. The faster the car, the bigger teeth smile.

[@Maza675]

Your vids are getting better and better man. (Plus as soon as I click on one of your vids I turn the subwoofer right up...)

[@mrackelito1]

Great review as allways, very informative. That car is really sweet, it sounds so much better than stock!

[@GTRSv]

You reviewed this one on my b-day :P

[@MattMaranMotoring]

GTRSv Happy belated birthday!

[@TheNuke95]

Happy b-day! It was mine too!

[@GTRSv]

Haha thanks, where is the best place for updates on your trip to NJ? And happy bday to you too Nuke, ive only met one other person with the same bday as me/us lol

[@MattMaranMotoring]

GTRSv I will be giving updates in my Weekly Update videos, but will probably do a separate announcement video once I know the dates.

[@BrandoCamaro]

Hey subaruwrxfan, I've been a subscriber for a while and love your videos! very high quality and informative. I have a car review request if you can eventually get to it. The 2012 or 2013 Chevrolet Camaro 2LT V6 with the RS package. I know you did the 2010 Camaro V6 but the interior improvements and the 2LT trim really make it a better package. Thanks. P.S. Hope your Mustang GT repairs are going smooth and you have no problems.

[@PolarArctica]

"Let's go on this backroad here and see how it does". That's when things get real.

[@ITB_E86]

As much as I love the Coyote motors (the fact that they can rev so high with the Boss manifold), they can't compare in sound to the LS3. Sure, the Coyote sounds good, but there's something special about the way this pushrod motor sounds.

[@FreakEkyth]

Perfect review, was actually looking to buy myselft a 2012 ss so this review fits perfectly

[@neoknight14215]

This is what I need in my life.

[@cobra454tim]

Matt I put Michelin Pilots A/S3s on my Legacy and they transformed my subie !

[@bmillz5.054]

It'd be super cool to see you do a 2011 Camaro 2SS Automatic!

[@enriquecarrillo6066]

🙏🏽

[@paulgumbo5694]

No it wouldn't autos r boring lol

[@emeraldages]

Kind of debating between a 2010 camaro SS or a 06 Corvette base model.. Corvette seems way more special but camaro is more muscle car which is pretty nice. more room for a bit turbo an dback seat. But vette better mpg way cooler to see but still more expensive. Only has ls2 and t56 not ls3 and tr6060 and smaller wheels/tires.

[@nordwhal-S550]

Go with the vette over a 10 model Camaro. 2010 was the launch year and it had several issues at the time. If you want a Camaro then go with at least a 12 model.

[@Mateo12485]

Nordwhal-LS2 what issues? I've had a 2010 camaro for 2 years and not a single problem...

[@bingobango170]

I asked around, nobody gives a shit.

[@TheLbls1]

Outstanding review as always!

[@scarcatch]

that was an awesom review, keep up the good work

[@thetamelesscreeper]

That exhaust sounds EPIC! And I'm shocked that thing could hook up in 2nd.

[@michaelmcaleer59]

The Tameless Creeper 315 pilot super sports... NUFF SAID

[@brexxebender1204]

I just got a 2012 - wide well kit installed - but - mine doesn’t have that scream and crackle … what’s up with that ? Two exhaust-

[@rebelyell22]

Thats a rotofab intake and stainless works exhaust lol. Nothing THR about it

[@ateazy12]

You have worn that American Eagle Polo in like 10 reviews already.....

[@stunna_CODM]

ateazy12 lmao

[@davva360]

I love how these look on the outside but not a fan of the windshield. Seems really small to me from the inside. Other than that, pretty nice cars but I would still prefer a Mustang myself.

[@THATREALBREW]

I love this guy! NO HOMO.

[@angelksh567]

I used to hate camaros im a mustang type but now they’re growing on me i would hate to have my guages down there lol 😂

[@ThatJMacGuy]

Nissan 300zx twin turbo sometime in the future?

[@brandonguidry1056]

As more of a mustang fan, I would totally get a Camaro

[@RarelyReplies]

I think that is the quickest he has ever said his name.

[@Mattdechamp-]

That cold air intake looks sick!!!

[@thomashalikas4812]

i love Gen 5

[@picodegallio3255]

I'm trying to decide between a 2012 or a 2018 right now. SS of course

[@xXSuperFerriXx]

When you first started talking, I had to check if I had my speed at normal. Chill out Bro 😂

[@cbzo6]

Nice review and cool car. The only Camaro you haven't reviewed is the 1LE. The car that was built to beat the Boss Mustang. That would be cool if you can get your hands on one. Keep up the good work.

[@YoloSwegLordYoloSwegLord]

you seem so happy with the camaro... why didnt you get one? seem happier. idk, who knows.

[@everythingautomotiveeta5839]

awesome review matt! thanks for this!

[@mustbebc]

Hi, I really enjoy your videos. Can you review one of the 3rd Gen 2.5L Mazda 3. It's not a performance car but as an every day driver I'm loving its better than you'd expect performance, handling and comfort. Would love to see your opinion on them.

[@realsoul4465]

Hi , what is the different between the engine of 2ss 1le 2010 and 2ss 1le 2013

[@85funnyguy]

I want one, but it would have to be my daily. My work usually closes when it snows, but I'm not sure i want to take the risk. Also, not sure if i want to daily a manual.

[@Kazzidy]

My cousin has the transformers edition, pretty awesome

[@michaelmcaleer59]

Kazzanova is he 12?

[@slimshady69969]

What type of exhaust is on this car??

[@neoknight14215]

This camaro is perfect in my opinion.

[@rellnumbah8245]

Expect nothing less :) owner really personalized it looks good. You were flexing with that steering wheel though.

[@demitriusterrell6578]

yoooo slow down on your intro man lol. You seemed like it was your 15th take and you were mad. Stay awesome man

[@MrMister1227]

Kinda thinking about buying this over a 2011 mustang GT everyone has a mustang now -_-

[@meljohn2202]

MrMister1227 I'm about to get a 12 camaro

[@stunna_CODM]

Melvin Johnson did you get it?

[@brandonblackwell8932]

hey man I love your reviews and I'm actually using them to assist me in picking my first "big to me purchase" car. I want something fast, American muscle definitely. but I also want something refined and comfortable to take on trips. and not cliche. so I'm not crazy about the camaro or mustang bc you see them everywhere now. but I was wondering if you could get your hands on preferably challenger srt post 2010 but not the newest bc I can't afford those any way, to review. also, if you have any thoughts from your experiences that would be great too. thanks!

[@nflyoungboy3772]

I love Camaros ❤️!

[@alexshep8976]

Love that exhaust! Sounds like a Ford GT

[@CaptainAries98]

great ride...if i had the money i'll get Bumblebee, a ZL1 and a 1LE (5th gen)

[@Antifaith29]

Those facial expressions are great.

[@hamzabhatti_24]

This is probably the best Camaro you've ever reviewed lol.

[@SnipingSwitchHD]

Was recorded on my birthday c:

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Peril Swtch - Co-leader Happy belated birthday!

[@SnipingSwitchHD]

subaruwrxfan Thanks man! I've really enjoyed your videos during the 10 months I've been subscribed to you. Keep up the good work! :)

[@alexchavez6203]

Amazing car seems like a lot of fun

[@walidh6114]

His reaction is PRICELESS ! 😂

[@hooliganismx2151]

Fav car review channel 🤟

[@FourQed]

Best looking Camaro ever made

[@frankzane3760]

His face at 9:45 says it all😂😂

[@horschrl1]

Did this have the No Lift Shift clutch for you to be able to power shift?

[@RayHuskeh]

How is it a 45th anniversary if the Camaro went out of production for years? Either way, very cool car, and that sound is downright menacing.

[@betoortega408]

Zx6r Mutt the camaro went out from 2003-2009 but that dorsnt mean they were not making the motor and tranny in them they were doing the corvette and the pontiac gto cadillac ,cts V ,pontiac g8 gt ls3 ls2 and LS1.
