Supercharged 2016 Camaro - One Take

Use code TIRE for special TST deals at Beckett-Simonon! go.saleshandy.com/sh-trk-112p...
Out of the store the 2016 Camaro SS is a pretty good choice. But if you want to turn things up a bit, the Alpha chassis takes to it like a dog to tennis balls. This 2016 Camaro SS is like a Franken-ZLE. Supercharger, a bit of suspension, some flashy touches, and a whole lot of noise. It's not often we revisit a car but when it's gained 110WHP, brakes, suspension, aero, and a set of Michelin PS4s, it seems worthy of another drive. Mod list below and more of it @maplefed.

matt you lost a lot of weight

[@mwhodatboi]

Homer Thompson seriously where is matt

[@Oreo_5oh]

Homer Thompson Prolly lost it all after driving the bullitt 😂

[@husky701rider9]

Original.

[@YouArentSlick]

That joke sure isn’t getting old

[@bboydrae]

Another good one, Zack is getting better.👍

[@HBMAN1995]

I felt the same way when I first test drove my 2SS. It had so much grip that it literally felt AWD. Amazing car.

[@krakdaus5442]

I don't touch meth either

[@1997TL1000]

What are the tire sizes again front and rear? I have a 2017 2SS and getting ready to throw a pro-charger setup on it.

[@roremster]

That was a really good explanation of steering feel. I think it's something that people often have a hard time describing. That pretty much put it into words correctly though.

[@mavricxx]

Those wheels look amazing, I love that they're different and he didn't do the "murdered out" look which is lame.

[@bcbw07]

True fans of this channel shouldn’t care wether it’s Zack or Matt, listen to the podcast and you can tell they’re pure hustlers that vibe well with each other. Both are skilled partly trained drivers and great presenters. Keep on Keeping on, I was a fan of this channel before y’all started the one takes and seeing it grow is amazing/ inspiring. 1 million subscribers is coming close!

[@cashmony3]

Great review! I love those smoked out sunglasses! where can I get a pair?

[@Gilamang]

Sounds amazing. Zack is fast as usual.

[@donzeropoopsgiven8304]

Absolutely love the car!! Looks and sounds amazing!!!

[@mynameis63]

super nice car, and an awesome video. Thanks Zack.

[@goatmonkey2112]

Those wheels look awesome.

[@johndessire399]

Zack "What so good about this" Klapman.

[@rxraider4778]

One of the nicest looking camaros I've seen.

[@Dolby109]

On steering feel - when I imported my Honda Beat it came with a really crappy aftermarket steering wheel, and it was so flimsy it was actually absorbing a lot of the steering feel. I didn't entirely realize this until I replaced it with a much better one, but the new one transformed the feel of the car and vastly increased my confidence.

[@slimhardaway8]

I love his taste in appearance and performance mods. Good job sir ✊

[@dexterjsullen]

Derick Lee well you can't go wrong with all black

[@slimhardaway8]

Dexter Sullen 'TRUTH' you right but there's many blk on blk cars. This is my fav combo on any car

[@Ghettochild.2600]

Thinking about adding a supercharger to mine. Not sure what one to go with. Love those wheels. Look like the MRR FS01? Put the PS4's on mine as well. Man do they grip. Sounds great! I only removed the rear cats, but it makes a huge difference. Have you looked into BMR suspension?

[@alexmoore5970]

I like it! The car is almost a life size hotwheel!

[@gustavomaya8999]

What can I do to make my zl1 sound like that?

[@realtalk4689]

That thing looks and sounds amazing.

[@rexjewels8754]

Lmaoo “NO I DON’T TOUCH METH” 😂

[@racerxxxonlyracingwilldo4919]

Do you put it on the track?

[@nicholasborrelli7544]

Matt already did a One Take on this....great job

[@herolbelica2143]

Do you think that a camaro ss that is supercharged with an aftermarket blower can still be reliable for many miles to come?

[@NDEEZMiata]

same engine as the ZL1 to my knowledge...so as long as you aren't pushing much higher than stock ZL1 numbers, I don't see why not. Though I don't really get buying a SS and then supercharging, might as well just get the ZL1? Unless you found a great deal or a used one or something... A stock SS 1lE is already fast as hell...I can't see putting more power in mine. It's already jail territory.

[@JoshuaC0rbit]

I have a 17 GT in my driveway and I'd rock this SS in a heartbeat.

[@BaconKFilms]

You wouldn’t rock it if your GT is stock

[@fidelmendoza6092]

That fly by tho 😍

[@mickey2036]

That ZL1 is one bmf. Beast.

[@rxraider4778]

I'm more into JDM cars than anything, but that fact that a lot of ppl say the 2jz & Rb26 are the best sounding motors I just can't agree, this sounds better imo.

[@noahp2430]

In-line 6s sound like trash

[@todddavis240]

Love my 2014 1LE straight stick no BS....thank you GM

[@newfie-dean5803]

I don’t touch meth, I just bought a fuel system to get set up for E, lol, funny conversation on your drug usage 🤪

[@codyhack]

Anyone know what rims those are? Description just tells us the tire.

[@deathcab4booty]

MRR wheels FS06

[@DarthVaderOG]

Now this is a muscle car dayum.

[@willp5376]

The feel you were trying to describe is like the amount on turn on a doorknob vs how far the latch is opened, Like having to turn halfway to get a quarter open. Or worse it would feel like the know is detached. That’s how the steering will feel. Lol... broken steering.

[@panchonorthmann6408]

"...got blessed to drive the irocZ..." Man, I feel like I knew I wouldn't like this dude just from the ear plugs. Lol, nice wheels, though, and Alphas are probably the best chassis GM has ever made... 2 stars out of three, sir!

[@G55STEYR]

You got the sound right, it is primal, and just like a lion roar, it increases testosterone

[@NightRid3rs77]

It's a screamer!

[@barfly246]

isn't this the same guy with the last 2016 supercharged one that Matt drove back in 2017?

[@SocketToMe]

Nice review

[@WillPat-zd7qq]

That thing sounds so angry!

[@fafinaf]

Meth is bad.

[@Tomm192]

fafinaf Stay away from it kids.

[@looper451]

u made me wipe my screen u fucker

[@juniorg5726]

fafinaf bro

[@hoonaticbloggs5402]

I had a slp 575 for two weeks on hire, and the Ediff was rubbish compared to a proper plate diff.

[@kelvintorres2675]

That baby sounds good!

[@djaftermath4313]

Just more proof how bad ass the GT350 sounds stocks, even more so with the GT350R

[@blaw9571]

bad ass ride

[@artagain8977]

I was waiting for it to turn into a robot.

[@PrimePrius]

The 2010 to 2013 Camaro looked more aggressive visually but the 2016s have a nicer interior. I still prefer my Charger Hellcat as a bad ass yet comfortable daily. A must do Hellcat mod is wider and stickier tires on wider rims. Consistent hook and go.

[@seandalejackson2525]

Its a manual, why are there paddles on the steering wheel? She beautiful but its time for new suspension, they are wobbling in those seats. Very cool build!!!

[@madmikeg37]

Seandale Jackson it should have rev match. My 17’zl1 has them

[@robertwise690]

Thought he was Tanner Foust 😂

[@commantrosexetlos4700]

damnn nice ride

[@patandedwardsreviews398]

Does that dude work on other people’s vehicles?

[@Prodriver33]

21’ SS 1LE 6SPD owner. Best car I’ve ever owned.

[@munich_zpeed]

Sad that these cars are so rare and expensive here in Germany :(

[@JoshuaC0rbit]

Someone please tell me I shouldn't Procharge my Mustang. Tell me I'm too old to be irrational. Remind me of how much of a pain in the ass it is to change the oil in the ProCharger like it was in my 2011. Please keep me from doing bad things.

[@LiquidSSSnake]

That's why I personally got a fwd performance car, I can still have a little fun and be in the car scene if I want. I'm not tempted to mod it because it's fwd. My plan is still working after 7 years...

[@justinwright6142]

Ysi if u do

[@bmx687]

Have a kid or another kid...thatll hinder your mods

[@westcoastmaros3088]

I know that cool guy 😁💨💨💨 #WestCoastMaros

[@keltonderkach9601]

Not a camaro fan but that thing is fucking sick I would drive it all day

[@xavierberber5801]

Thought stock zl1 made 567hp to the wheels 😄

[@greatdakota1014]

Gotta love American muscle...car is sick

[@TL-ds8ux]

I never understood why people mess up otherwise good looking cars with a ton of stickers

[@bmwmdude]

T L AMEN! I’m all about the sleeper. As much as a LOF Camaro can be a sleeper.

[@Bagger1978]

Sponsors.. was a SEMA car and is scheduled to be back to SEMA again.

[@TL-ds8ux]

Ah, yes, that makes sense.

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

Because they got the shit for free and it’s part of the agreement

[@bmx687]

You don't understand it because it isn't your car nor what attracts you. Before you respond, read my initial statement a few times and the enlightenment will come

[@NoClassic]

You lost me as lowering springs and stock shocks. Get that glass roof though

[@panagiotisf7228]

These cars shocks are very good with just springs especially if u have mag ride

[@skagerstrom]

No fan of american cars in generall but this one is just mean looking :P Perfect look for a Camaro!

[@marksalisbury1132]

no such thing as too loud. it's a race car....so..... looks and sounds sick!

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

Damn, Camaros look so evil in black.

[@273VIPER]

Nice 👍🏾

[@goatmonkey2112]

How do people not know what steering feel is? You would have to have only ever driven one car, or only played video games.

[@willywillywillywillywilly]

goatmonkey2112 they’ve probably felt it not knowing what it was.

[@hoonaticbloggs5402]

Steering feel is a mk1 escort with a quick rack

[@MrFootball150]

Doing a T-Top roof

[@noahp2430]

“I don’t touch meth”😂😂

[@H1GHD3FF]

Dude is mad Matt isn't there

[@mikeylikesit2675]

The owner seemed pissed the whole time.

[@TheSmokingTire]

Matt has driven this car before (when it had different mods). Owner knew Zack would be driving it, and emailed him to let him drive it again at a runway event.

[@JoshuaC0rbit]

Farah is cool and all but he has about as much personality as the cardboard Amazon box I just opened. This dude cracks me up with his subdued and dry humor because that's pretty much how I am.

[@jonesjonz1]

Love the car minus the wing...wheels are the TRUTH!!

[@ronthemogul]

I guess im late but where is the other host?

[@mod91Kauai]

thesmoothone he rarely does one takes anymore

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

He died

[@granvillefriel1877]

Bad Ass Camaro

[@MrUltraworld]

Nice car (too loud), like the body mods/wheels. Should have started with a 1LE.

[@Maplefed]

Fred Garvin I would have.. but it wasn’t out yet and I like my butt to be cooled lol

[@MrUltraworld]

Funny you mention that. Because I live in FL & I rented a car with butt coolers & swore my next car would have them if I had to install them myself. For that reason, I went with a ZL1 with the stock seats. It's truly one of life's simple pleasures.

[@slimhardaway8]

We always look back and say we should've just upgraded, same with my scatpack 😓

[@oc0dyc]

The 1LE can have cooled seats - I just test drove one last weekend when it was 99 out. They were a godsend!

[@chrissorreda4982]

Yeah i don’t get ridiculously loud cars too

[@danraucci621]

As much as the wind noise muddys up the audio that open window section was needed. Matt never does that

[@ScottDreyfus]

Vortec blower weight about 50lbs.

[@goatmonkey2112]

I have to disagree on the V10s. You're thinking Viper V10, those generally don't sound good. But a Lambo/Audi/Lexus LFA V10 sounds amazing.

[@greenespirit4973]

goatmonkey2112 viper v10 doesnt sound good? lmao wtf thats one of the best sounding cars out there

[@kingdavid8870]

Greenespirit he's foreign...they tend to hate American cars just for the fuck of it.

[@DDMSteveB]

The E60 M5 V10 also makes the list for best sounds.

[@goatmonkey2112]

Yes, the BMW V10 sounds awesome especially with an exhaust upgrade.

[@Erevos85]

That's where I agree with Zack. For me, the LFA is the best sounding car. But the V8 engines are the automotive equivalent of hard rock (NA) and metal (supercharged).

[@westsidevadios]

K... next!

[@blackhole4]

What happen to Matt?

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

Rip

[@Zher0-]

wait wtf ... wheres matt ?

[@joshharrison1169]

i was about to get those same bronze rims from STR Racing but i went with another bronze rim from them

[@55pillsbury]

That’s maplefed

[@FU-Utube]

Where's matt?

[@sunnyside9273]

Matt is such a Camaro hater that he vanished! That Maro is beasty!

[@guynoir3116]

royce washington I'm not crazy about the new GIANT grill trend .

[@al151]

Where is Matt?

[@hoonaticbloggs5402]

7:01 ‘ GM chassis engineers are the best in the business’ Funny.

[@Itsnotfast]

Hoonatic Bloggs he's right you know. ferrari uses GM's mag ride.

[@hoonaticbloggs5402]

Derek Strickland Oh ok then. Gm must be better than lotus, mclaren, Porsche if you say so. I’m trying to remember when GM won a world class race, but funny is I can’t remember.

[@Itsnotfast]

Hoonatic Bloggs 19 zr1 ran sub 7 minute ring time. only behind the 918. for $900,000 cheaper.

[@dbestsk8ter]

Did someone scream at 7:48

[@totobyafrica847]

Wheres matt

[@2gj906]

Of course his name is Kyle!

[@whatsup4447]

So when is Matt coming back

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

What’s Up he died...

[@Cheeseypoofs85]

More like "it sounds like we're being chased by Rob Zombie"

[@WHERESSS]

Cam and supercharger on stock bottom end...

[@mogulme6190]

Your point?

[@mikewright7674]

weres matt ???????

[@willc5023]

copper wheels not orange lol

[@JB-ut7mu]

Meth is good for your productivity lol

[@TorquilMcLeod]

I put decals on my windows so I can see less.

[@joshlira7591]

Shit that's a nice ass camaro

[@YNTGUNS]

Who the hell is this guy

[@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt]

I have yet to see a single video of a Gaymaro where the driver's shoulders sat above the window sill. I can only imagine the tens of thousands more of these they would sell each year if it wasn't an ergonomic fucking nightmare. The vast majority of people who buy this are buying it for the engine only. And as this buyer proves, almost everyone that buys a Gaymaro absolutely hates the shit out of it stock, and can't wait to blow another $15k-20k on mods to make up for the garbage it is off the lot.

[@TheMrIVXX]

this is basically in need of a big block ford performance crate motor and a set of wilwood brakes.

[@TheMrIVXX]

guns are illegal in china but that $4 would feed me for a week.

[@TheMrIVXX]

make a wish foundation - you should run for president! nothing screams bald eagle like cruising in a ford hot rod around China as you pass the chevy parts store..
