Should you buy a Camaro SS 1le? Owner Insight

[@danieljohnson4418]

I own a 2019 Camaro SS 1LE, and it is an awesome vehicle! My vehicle has not required any warranty work, and I have completed the engine oil and filter changes myself. To anyone who does own a 1SS, I highly recommend installing the leather-wrapped knee pads from the 2SS. P.S. - You should install black lug nut covers from ColorLugs---it's an inexpensive modification that makes a big difference.

[@Hot-1LE]

That's the way to do it all yourself. I honestly have no other issue with the car it's awesome otherwise. I'll look at the lug covers 👊

If you want to eliminate the loud door chimes and cheap stereo sound. Get an AudioControl DSP (Digital Sound Processor) that will make your sound system sound amazing, but you will also need to upgrade the speakers. It will definitely fix the loud annoying door chimes. I had the same issue with my 2018 Chevy Camaro 1SS 1LE. Good luck brotha.

Shock looks good man you'll get a ton of attention. Appreciate the positive feedback good luck on your purchase man

[@silversled123]

Either Bose or non-Bose, feed the speaker level inputs into a good DSP which then drives the amp(s). The DSP will correct all factory coloration in the sound and fix the door chime volume.

[@AmericanSCPO]

Great video. You nailed something no one talks about. The dealerships not backing or making any effort to provide customer service once the sale is made. I like the fact you don't hide any down falls of the Camero but it's what you like. Hey man if that car makes you happy drive it till the wheels fall off. Nice ending.

[@Hot-1LE]

Thank you man. It's hard to say something negative about something I think is pretty much perfect. There's always many aspects to a car and I'm not a proper fan boy, even though I own a ton of 1le merch 😅

Shreve ... can you help me understand what the major differences are btwn the 2SS 1LE & the 1SS 1LE ??? .... If you could do it again would you do the 2ss or 1ss ??? Thanks

[@shrevewaxter4876]

2SS is only a higher trim level. You’re getting pretty much everything offered in the SS package. No performance difference. I think the Bose sound system might be one difference, but don’t quote me. For me, the 1LE package was more important than any interior trim. Would have been happy with either, as long as it was a 1LE equipped SS Camaro!

[@Sboo78]

Thanks for covering that stuff. No other videos go into details of the interior.

[@Hot-1LE]

Very welcome. Thank you for watching!

Man, that shift comment is the reason I dumped my 2020 Charger scat pack. It also wanted you to drive it hard, if you drove it around town within speed limits it felt extremely clunky but ripping it was smooth. Currently shopping myself, almost talked myself into a V6 but I think i would regret it. Trying to find a used SS 1LE, prices are just crazy at this time though. :(

[@Hot-1LE]

Go for the v8 man. If you have any speculation the v6 may not fill the need. Save yourself some future money and buy the v8 now haha. Good luck man!

My shifting is fine when I first get in unless its below freezing only then is it stiff until it warms up. The Tremec is a good trans. The Mustang GT500 went with the Tremec over the Chinese Getrag in the base mustang GT.

Love the video, very informative and confirmed my goal to buying one. Saving up for a used one pretty soon ('17-18). I think dealers in general are just crap (never had a good experience with sales or service). Which is why I'm looking to purchase one through FB marketplace from a private owner. Can't wait for it (coming from an '16 STI it'll be a huge upgrade in my opinion).

[@Hot-1LE]

Thanks for the feedback bro. I do suggest getting these used if you can find a good one. The STI is a good car but yeah this is going to blow you away. you might even get a increase in gas mileage over that 2.5l which is kinda funny

I have the 2SS. The Bose system sucks major balls. It is the worst sounding system I've had, and the third party measurements verify this. BUT I never have anything playing when driving this car because the car itself is music. The speakers I only use for GPS directions and phone calls and they're fine for that.

[@Hot-1LE]

That's exactly how to use this car my man 🤜

[@billwilliams6433]

If you have the single radio with no amp then you can easily change the head unit. Look at audio control for amps with built in sound processor. Get a good alpine head unite and some good speakers. If you have the Bose system your gonna spend some money to upgrade that one. You should interface with a digital sound so you limit the distortion. A nav tv or something comparable for the Bose interface. Then add the rest.

[@ExtinctSS]

Word. Just picked up my 21 SS 1LE. Every 6 speed car I've had from GM (00 SS, 01 Z06, 06 GTO) the trans didn't like to go into reverse unless I put it in 1st or 2nd before hand or I slowly let the clutch out and pushed up a lil then it would engage, so I got into the habit of doing that, I noticed this 6 speed in mine isn't like that, I wonder it that will come on with age.

I brought my Corvette to the local dealer 364 days after buying it only to be told that the period for the complimentary oil change had expired the day before......Not the end of the world, but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I will be doing my own oil changes from now on.

Now if I need warranty work, hold on tight I guess. I'm used to the worst of the worst at Ford, we'll cross that bridge when it comes lol. As for the Tremec Trans, it is LIGHTYEARS better than the MT-82 in the Mustang GT. I just came from that, so I have driven both and I can tell you the Tremec is 100,000x better than anything the MT-82 does in any possible way. Awesome video as all of your stuff is bro!

Great video man a lot of help! I have a question I’m stuck here. Highly considering a 2019 2ss 1le right now. Selling for 47k with discount! But I found a 1ss 1le 2020 150 miles away for 43k. Are there any main differences except heated and cooling seats and safety equipment?

[@Hot-1LE]

Main things between 1ss and 2ss 1le is the 2ss has: upgraded stereo, interior lighting, wireless cell charger (that fits no phones lol), lane alert in the mirrors, the rearview mirror is actually a screen with a camera facing backward while driving, dual climate control. So up to you if you want to pay 4k for that stuff. Maybe go sit in them both and decide :)

[@StirlingMossDrives]

Hot 1LE Yea none of that is worth the extra money for me. I think I can get 1k off the 1SS for 42k since the 2SS gas a 2k discount. The car at 44k msrp already feels like a steal for the performance. I test drove the 2ss yesterday and it blew my mind. I have a lot of seat time in a bmw m2 and it feels much tighter and way faster obviously . I drove the new supra as well, great car but it needs a manual badly

[@Hot-1LE]

Ah ya the supra would be better in manual for Shure. I looked at those too. Make sure a 1ss going to keep you happy. I'm sure it will though 😊

[@StirlingMossDrives]

Hot 1LE Oh it will so much. The Camaro blends the perfect personality of a track car and a street-able bmw. I was looking at bmws but for the absolute bargain the Camaro it’ll be stupid to consider anything else. Plus it’s faster than all those cars and won’t break.

I tried the bose sound system in a 2019 convertible 2ss camaro. And my opinion about it is its alot better than the stock sound system. However its only better than average overall imo. The bass is good however, it feels like the inside rattles and is "hollow" every time the bass hits. Plus the mids are above average but not mind blowing

[@gtrance3567]

[@blackice7408]

I would rate the bose sound system a 6.5/10. Its alot better than the stock system but its got nothing to the harman kardon sound system in the chargers and challengers. As much as i love the v8 chug in a muscle car, i love to misten to music very much and the sound system is one of my majors

[@Hot-1LE]

I agree bro. Its actually got better? I am not sure but apparently a sub and speaker swap goes a long way with these. I really appreciate the info bro.

[@TheShiftKnob]

Great information on a great car. Chevrolet does really good at providing a monstrous machine but Ford kicks them as far as advertising and creating hype is concerned. All in all, I'm still intoxicated by the Shelby's FPC sound - the 1LE would instead be the bigger bang for the buck I assume. At least to me; because the more I look at them more deeply, the more I'm fascinated by the Camaro's true value.

[@Hot-1LE]

Appreciate it man. Your right on this is a huge bang for buck car. Ford has always been better at marketing. They really know how to sell, chevy sits back and let's those who know buy. I wish they did a bit more commercials for the Camaro, I never understood why they don't. So I'm here 😅. Can't disagree about the Shelby's hell even the 5.0 sounds absolutely glorious.

[@kevinmoloney19]

Have you had starter problems? Apparently there is a lawsuit over the starter not being shielded enough from engine heat which can cause the starter to turn over slower or even fail and have to be replaced. I am selling my BMW M3 to get a Camaro.

[@Hot-1LE]

Nope no issues. gen5DIY has a fix for it it's to upgrade the grounding cable for the starter. I thought it was heat shield too but apparently it's increased resistance that helps cause the issue. I think lethal Camaro has put some info out on it. But no issues so far at 16k

Oh ya that could do it. I set as low as it goes. Even with a sunroof I still got 4 inches or so. But ya I got some long ass legs that keep me from driving other cars :(

@@Hot-1LE im in process of looking for a camaro my challenger rt got stolen so i was interested in lt1 camaro but i love yours though i had a 5th gen ss before the challenger it had 600hp

[@Hot-1LE]

Damn dude that thing was a beast! Sorry about your challenger that's crazy how those cars get stolen so much. If you can afford it a 1ss 1le is a ton of car. Lt1 is great too

[@richarddiaz6100]

From Ford to Chevy , it’s become more common now , don’t think it happens the other way

[@Hot-1LE]

Man that's so true. A lot of the Camaro guys I talk to used to have Mustangs. They are a bit cheaper and cheap to build and maintain. The camaros not that much more but eventually we make it to the more performance orientated car.

[@belminzvekic4694]

How is the cabin space? Thinking of getting a 19 zl1 1le but I’m 6’5. Mustangs I fit fine in them

[@Hot-1LE]

I'm 6ft 4 so I can empathize man 😂 I fit fine in the mustang too. The Camaro to me has a hair bit more leg room. Seats sit lower. The door controls like windows are a bit close to you ( for our long arms) but it's not a big deal. Head room on both was a non issue but I probably got longer legs then toroso. The Camaro feels more closed in but it's really just the high dash/doors. Imo this car is made for a big guy. Works perfect for me but there is some loss of interior square footage compared to the Stang. For me it was in areas that don't really matter (roof line low in back, back seats, high dash etc.) Let me know if you end up sitting in one would like your feedback !

[@belminzvekic4694]

Hot 1LE perfect video then!! Hahaha

[@kevinmoloney19]

What about that hood vent. Doesn't rain water leak down through it and spray all over the engine?

[@Hot-1LE]

Not really. Maybe a few drops but it's positioned in a way it dosnt get much in there

[@BeatTheD3viL]

considering daily driving would you rather get a 2022 GR86 2.4+MT or a 2021 Camaro 3LT V6+MT ?

[@Hot-1LE]

That's a tough decision. The v6 Camaro carries a stigma (if you care, but it exists), but the gr86 is a bit slow in the straights. Me personally the Camaro, but it's a totally personal decision dependent on your situation needs and wants. Go drive them both

[@BeatTheD3viL]

Actually I got an update coming for that really soon. But to answers that it shouldnt at least not how mine did.

[@ajiglesias8369]

Is there a kit for both warming and cooling on the recaros?

[@Hot-1LE]

For the 1le the cooling ducting is already in place. Unlike the SS where you add the ducts. It's a different design but no need to do it on the 1le

[@ELKOBRA03]

Same issues with mustang coyote mt-82

[@thatreviewguy6109]

You have a 2nd gear lock out buddy. My dads 2018 1ss 1le had that. You can get a delete for that online

[@Hot-1LE]

Ya I got the phastek skip shift eliminator but been lagging on putting it in.

[@thatreviewguy6109]

@@Hot-1LE yeah my dad bought the same one and we were gonna put it in. Decided to do a bunch of research and it turns out the seal on the delete module can leak in water and create issues with your transmission. If I were you I'd stay in 1st gear until 3k rpm then shift to second so your passed the 2and gear lock out.

[@Hot-1LE]

Ya I been worried about a cheap part on an expensive trans haha. I do shift about 3k almost always. It's just a bit notchy when cold. Will be changing the fluid when I get a chance.

[@ceansilorcaso5820]

Thanks for the INFO in conclusion you need to buy the 2SS 1LE

[@Hot-1LE]

I know guys that have paid 50k+ for a 2ss 1le. In theory you should be able to get them a few thousand over a 1ss. I'll probably add a sub then some lighting and be done with the car and use it for track stuff. The bang for buck is the 1ss1le. Thanks for watching man 👍

Twin disc have a chatter. Could get a cheap ass single disc and slap in there if it bothers you badly

Not so much the chatter that bothers now. Once the first throw out was replaced that subsided. Your right twin disk do chatter but when I stepped on the gas it actually got worse instead of going away. But appreciate your advice man!

It's all rumors right now but it looks like possibly 2023. However there have been findings of new engine codes which would maybe replace the lt1. So at this time hard to say.

Graci brotha. They do pop up just keep looking. And if you do see one don't sleep on it they move quickly.

yeah man i think it's going to be different for everyone in terms of dealer exp, mainly bc dealers are independently owned and operated. It would be in their interest to represent the brand well but there's always shitty dealers.

Every negative you pointed out can be solved by going with the 3LT V6. The 3LT is loaded. All the creature comforts that you can get on a Camaro. Besides, 335hp is plenty for me in my daily driver.
