6 gen Camaros that have diff issues are v6 and 4 cyl. Ss camaros especially zl1 have iron cased lsd diffs with hardened axle shafts. The pics you showed are of the aluminium cased diffs. Non SS. Not only do I own a 6 gen, SS 1LE. But I am a GM Certified tech and have been over 15 years. I have never, ever seen a G80 rear diff blown or howling in a ss 6 gen. Other than that good video bro

Noah Adams .....thanks a lot for your professional info.....I feel better now because I too am a owner of a 1LE. A 2018 2SS 1LE to be exact. Only have 5400 miles on it so far after 13 months but so far so good ....no mech issues whatsoever, it’s actually just now breaking-in running and sounding better ( I did obey the proper break-in rules just FYI ). I put Amsoil in it around 800 miles with no metal fragments in the factory oil. I did have to add 3/4 of a quart at 4500 miles but can you explain why the “change oil” indicator ( or oil life percentage indicator) starts coming on at around 3600 miles when GM knows you’re using synthetic oil that should be good up to 10k miles ? Basically right now it’s telling me I have 0% life left in my oil but after checking it the oil looks perfectly fine and as I mentioned it’s damn good oil too. My next mod will be a catch can, maybe help with the having to add oil part but that won’t prevent the change oil indicator coming on prematurely. Just wondering.....any advice or input would be helpful, thanks

Bought mine a month ago. Love this car so much. Great handling, great speed. The blindspots actually aren't that bad at all. Just keep an eye of the rearview mirrors occasionally to check if someone will be eventually behind you. If you are going to buy one, my one tip is to buy an RS or a higher class & buy one with dual exhaust on it.

I am 6ft 1 and over weight, I fit in my 2016 camaro just fine. my only complaints about the car are. the very long doors make it hard to get in and out in tighter parking spots. The car has very little storage in the cabin, the trunk opening is too small. The rear seat on the 6th gen has no head room. But the pluses are, I get very good highway gas mileage. The front seats are very comfortable and I have plenty of leg room. The car is very nimble,fast and fun to drive. the cars handling is superior to it's competition. The cars looks amazing and I have no issues with visibility like many reviews bitch about. my car has no shakes and raddles. The interior lay out is very simple and looks very cool. The exhaust sounds great, even on my 3.6 v6 RS. The features even on the base interior are better than its competitions base interiors. you still get a 7 inch touch screen with android auto,push button start and remote start. automatic climate control and other nice features.

People complain about the visibility 🤦🏽‍♀️. It’s actually not as bad as people complain about. You have to adjust your mirrors to the blind spots and all you have to do is turn your head to see. Also adjust the passenger seat so it’s sitting the bar. I like the 6th gen because it feels more like your sitting in a race car. It’s more snug than the 5th gen. One thing people don’t know is the room issue isn’t as bad as you’d think. The back seats fold down. I was able to fit a tuft and needle mattress in my back seat I did have to remove the box but it fit (folded of course)

Good video. I'd like to add just one comment. The original tyres are made for temperatures exceeding round about 15 C. I live in northen Europe (Sweden) where it often is below 15 degrees, like in the mornings. This leads to problem getting the power down, especially in sport mode. More than 15, no problem. I thought this might be good to know.

2017 Camaro 2 SS LT1 6.2 V8. So far the worst of it is just replacing the rear rotor and break pads and the 2 rear tires. In just one week I ended up spending $1,400 on it just for maintenance , and a full tank of premium gasoline lasts maybe 2 and a half days, gas mileage depends mainly on how you are on the gas pedal and how much you play with it. However, it's the most fun and power I have ever had in a vehicle and the car is just gorgeous and sleek it is even nice to look at, I wouldn't have it any other way.

EBSting I entirely agree with you on the scat pack. The thing is I was at the dealership ready to pull the trigger on the Charger scat pack but the salesperson wasn't budging at all on my trade in. Matters got worse when he told me my KBB cash value for my trade in is only 13k so his trade in offer of 17k was doing me a HUGE favor according to him to which I replied with a are you fucking kidding me? Plus there was this pressure to purchase their 50k scat pack and that there's no other cheaper ones around which was a blatant lie. Anyway the Camaro 1SS is a lot cheaper.. leaning towards it right now.

Got a 17 SP Challenger. Went through the Costco auto buying program. The MSRP on the window was just under 48K. I got mine for just over 40K using that program. Mine is only missing a couple options. Very easy transaction with no problems. As far as the car goes. Love it. No regrets. As far as performance goes, sure the SS is better for a road course, but for straight line performance, both are very close in that category. I don't live by a track, so would never road race mine anyway. Anyways enjoy whichever you choose to go with.

Well, I have had three 6th generation Camaros, a 2016 with the turbo four with a manual, a 2017 six manual with the npp exhaust, and finally a 2017 SS convertible, which I am totally in love with. I put 5 to 10 thousand on each of these cars with no problems at all. The biggest problem is visibility, you sit low in them, you just have to get used to it. The performance is good on all of them, the sound from the four was not to great, but was a little better when i removed the mufflers, the six had the dual mode exhaust and left it loud all the time, I actually bought it because I liked the sound of one I heard on You Tube. But the best one is my SS, it has an automatic which is not my normal choice, but it works great with this engine, better I think than the manual, I tried both. I did not have the dual mode exhaust on it, so I had the mufflers removed, you need to do this, it sounds so good.

I don't think the rear diff is necessarily a weak point. On the cars with the eLSD (1LE, ZL1) it is recommended to change the fluid around 1500 miles. If you don't do that, be prepared to have issues come up. Also the 1LE's come with different half shafts than the regular SS, not sure if they're the same as the ZL1 or not.

I have a 2019 camaro 2SS A10. It has over 50k miles an track my car on the weekends. Have been for over a yr an I just broke my carrier bearing so I decided to buy a one piece drive shaft from DSS. It’s a 3.5 aluminum driveshaft an hoping everything will be stronger an a lot less hrsp lose to wheels. I’ve heard a lot of 6th gen guys having this problem

So I've had my 2016 Camaro SS for just over two years now and have had none of these problems, except the paint swirls, brake dust, and the exhaust rattle. I've had no diff problems or half shaft issues and I've taken it to Race Wars, half mile roll/drag races, and even taken it road racing and haven't changed my diff fluid...although I probably will now. The skip shift eliminator kit is pretty awesome. Also I saw some people say that the 5.0 mod for mod has more gains and that is not entirely true. You have a 5.0 vs. a 6.2 the bigger motor would react better to certain mods than others. Plus you have to factor in the tune, the dyno, and the tuner. You can take a car that puts down higher numbers on one dyno than another car on a different dyno and still get spanked.

I just got mine in late April, I just had a complete paint correction, and ceramic coating done. Definitely, plan on having the rear end fluid drained at 1,500 miles. did my first oil change at 500 miles. I plan on putting about 5,000 miles on mine before any major mods. I did add a catch can but I can quickly remove it if I had to bring it in to a dealer.

I have a 2016 SS Camaro manual transmission. I noticed that I was burning oil quite a bit. Like 1.5 qts every 1k miles. Took it to the dealer and they told me that it's perfectly normal for it to do that. I don't buy that bull. Have you or anyone you know of experienced this? They specifically told me it was because it's a manual transmission and it was "user error" that it was happening with it.

I Just bought my V8 Camaro ss convertible automatic and I love it! It's 6.2 liter where as the mustang is 5.0 liter. The Camaro goes 0-60 in 4 flat the mustang in 4.3 The value is amazing. A base model ss for around 30k is very upgradable. You can slap a supercharger and twin turbos for around 10k in parts or alot less if you rebuild some used performance parts. I can build an ss to out perform a ZL1 with 40k cash vs the 50k plus purchase price of the dealership superchargered ZL1. Pros Bigger fuel injection 6.2 liter Brembro brakes Tight steering in track mode The ability to disable traction and stability control The Camaro is made out of metal and feels good to drive. The Corvette is lighter and feels like it can get away from you easier. Sure Corvettes are faster stock, but being in a solid built car like a Camaro has advantages in a wreck. The ability to add aftermarket forced air induction was one of the reasons I bought the ss Camaro. The convertible is a contender on a drag strip, if you go to the trouble of removing the top. To reduce weight but you might as well buy a dragster at that point.

Thanks Riley for this very informative video. I am quite disappointed GM is still struggling with rear axle/half shafts/driveline robustness. This was a big issue back on CTS-Vs and I would hope GM would have learned how to develop a reliable driveline system since then. It would be a hasty generalization at this point to say it is a chronic problem but it is very concerning to say the least. GM may have cut corners during the vehicle validation which can explain also the interior rattles (not enough cycles on the 4-post shaker).

I already had to take my 17 redline automatic to the dealer for the diff. The was a loud humming sound when cold.

I'll put it on my channel one of these days. I had to change the tires to all seasons just because the stock Goodyear's just kept getting nails. Iit is what it is

How would you compare throttle response on this car to a C7? I owned a C7 for 3 weeks and a lack of immediate and crisp throttle response was a huge factor in my decision to sell the car. Gm's throttle programming to control the torque is too conservative on the C7. I wonder if they reprogrammed it for this car.

you should replace the diff fluid on all vehicles at 500 and again at 1500. it will be nightfall gray at 500. There is now a fix for the NPP rattle. I have no rattles in my 17 2SS with NPP and a build date of 6/12/16. the only factory problem my car had was scratches on the inner door panels.

Their was a sweet spot for paint quality on some American cars. It was between 1977-79 and the best, thickest, paint was on Ford personal luxury cars. Today the paint on Mustang's and Camaro's is very thin. If you want good paint go to European cars.

I'm pretty sure all of this stuff that you are mentioning is fairly rare especially the rear diff issue. You do want to upgrade the axles and stub axles that's a given especially if you're going to be launching the car a lot. That is a massive amount of stress for any car that is stock. Not only that, it depends on how bad you beat the car. KZbin has given a great example of truly what people do with their cars and makes me terrified to buy anything used. If you're good to your car it will be good to you too. Nice video.

RP PRO, If I ordered a 2017/18 Camaro SS "without" the NPP Exhaust Option would the car always be in the louder mode or in between? Second, That NPP adds zero torque and H.P correct? With the Stang coming out with a 10 auto and the SS sticking with it's 8 speed I wish I could find the new Torque/H.P #s on the Mustang GT?
