The common theme of all those reviewing the SS1LE is the sheer joy in their voices and on their faces. My only disagreement with you is on the refresh posted earlier... While not the hugest fan of the refresh in most Camaros, the refresh on the 1LE looks spectacular. The combo of the black hood and accents with that big new grill, is amazing. So amazing that I ordered a 2019 SS1LE in Satin Steel Gray metallic and am awaiting it's arrival any day. Thanks for the review and keep the rubber side down.

[@TheDutchTexan]

It truly is a great automobile! And I am glad we can agree to disagree on the styling. What’s under the skin is nothing short of amazing! Have fun with it!

[@artagain8977]

Congrats on your car. I have an ‘18 1LE and I absolutely love it!

[@BRAINFxck10]

The 2019+ grill looks horrible man 😂 This 2018 looks much better

[@richardwaddell6037]

I am an S550 guy and I have always had a little remorse for this car. Absolutely love the 1le's

[@antoineaaron3754]

Your excitement alone has me sold. I just test drove one and I have it on hold til I have time next week. I’m getting mine babyyyyy!! 💪🏿🔥💯

[@TheDutchTexan]

They’re a ton of fun and have the perfect power level for sure!

[@davidreagan7156]

Great review DT! I love my own '17 1LE, and its fun to watch and listen to someone experience the performance and abilities of 1LE option firsthand. Keep the great content coming!

[@StiltsRU985]

THANK YOU for showcasing the noise this car makes! A lot of reviews out there, but not enough sound.

[@TheDutchTexan]

I try to get exhaust clips of all the cars I review. It's part of the package for sure! Thanks for your comment! I appreciate it!

[@MrNemo721]

Man, Texas is the perfect place for high power RWD sport/muscle cars.

[@TheDutchTexan]

Plenty of straight roads, that's for sure!

[@rafatattoo3273]

The Dutch Texas, the home of the fastest cars in the world.

[@TheDutchTexan]

I wouldn't quite go that far... LOL!

[@rafatattoo3273]

The Dutch Texan watch the street car video channel.

[@artagain8977]

DangerousDan you’re not kidding. I live in Boston. When I was looking for my 1LE, none of the dealers in my area could get the hyper blue metallic. When I flew down to Austin TX for work, a local dealer had 8 in stock, 3 of which where hyper blue.

[@wiseassbiker]

I have a black 2018 I have owned Mustangs, Z28’s, and Corvettes but my 1LE is by far my most favorite vehicle I have owned

[@tejanoboi7243]

@Virus world What's up with the paint? Asking cause I'm looking at a 2020 RS rn if not that then a 2019 EcoBoost premium.

[@tejanoboi7243]

@Virus world wow I didn't know that's kinda sad tbh. I want the Camaro in white. I love and always will love white cars. We have 3 cars all white

[@tejanoboi7243]

@Virus world How much is the average price for a ceramic coating? As for the clear wrap I'm guessing at least 2k or above for the whole car

[@ryankymer9120]

wiseassbiker i have a black 18 ss 1le too

[@Kamken81]

you can get a skip shift eliminator plugs right into the transmission for like $20 takes 2 min to install and then skip shift is gone the light will still come on in range or the skip but you can put it in any gear at any time first thing to install for sure i have had a 99 trans am 98 ss camaro 2009 c6 corvette did it to all of those works great

[@artagain8977]

Kenny Thomas when you drive aggressively it does skip.

[@BobcatBart]

Great review - you weren't annoying like so many car reviewers these days.

[@TheDutchTexan]

I appreciate it. I just do my own thing as much as I can.

[@AdamSchoenstein]

Great video. Love the camera angles for the car

[@TheDutchTexan]

This is one car that shoots extremely well! Not a bad angle at all honestly. Unlike the 2019's...

[@1LElife]

i just picked up my 18 1LE coming from a 15 1SS AT and MAAAAAN is this thing sweet!!!!

[@TheDutchTexan]

Pretty awesome to be able to go into the garage, get in and drive one when you want to! Sweet indeed!

[@tr3ynag4ta]

The only thing that Chevy did wrong was putting those plastic e-brakes on those cars. Also those seats are uncomfortable, no reclining like you can on a Mustang or Challenger. Those camaros are REALLY nice, but I think they lacked feeling for owners who truly want to enjoy the cars, as far as comfort and long drives wise. If I do happen to get one, I'm hoping I can find some way to install custom leather seats, or somehow modify the factory seats to go all the way back for optimal back support. Driving those cars is almost like riding in a cheap go cart, then again, they still aren't bad. I hate how the newer models look from the front, great review!

[@TacticalJay.]

Amazing review bro I love this car hopefully i can get my hands on one when i graduate 🤩

[@stainsonmycouch3655]

Me too

[@bigbluezo6]

love that 1LE sounds amazing

[@TheDutchTexan]

Oh yeah! And the best thing is it was a manual naturally! Such a cool car! The other SS was an automatic, but the 1LE definitely takes the cake!

[@thynysan]

Just bought me a 2018 Camaro 2SS Redline. Haven't gotten a chance to test it out BC there was a downpour right as I was about to pull off the lot. Dammit!

[@shanedoink]

How am I just now watching this? I want one!

[@TheDutchTexan]

It was a riot!

[@ericprosser1234]

Nice review as always. that 1-4 gear skip would drive me nuts though

[@TheDutchTexan]

Absolutely, but it was in the outtakes. I literally cursed it (but that part I left out of the outtakes).

[@johnb3231]

I put the delete kit on mine. Took 10 minutes

[@TheDutchTexan]

100% the first mod an owner should do!

[@noblevengeance312]

Very nicely done. Nice attention to detail with every aspect you covered. Hope to see you at concorso today sir!

[@TheDutchTexan]

Thanks man! But I will not be at the concorso.

[@noblevengeance312]

The Dutch Texan oh no :(. It’s pretty good so far!

[@TheDutchTexan]

Enjoy! I don't have time to shoot and edit two shows.

[@noblevengeance312]

The Dutch Texan yeah I totally understand you’re a busy guy. Hope the rest of your day goes well!

[@TheDutchTexan]

Not busy at all, I just want to keep my sanity and have some fun with the family! I spend too much time editing as is.

[@mattjones1378]

There's a used one of these, 2018 for $35k with just under 5k miles. Is that a good deal?

[@eastoakland-S65feen]

Fuck yea

[@yaseryanes2220]

yesss

[@al151]

Can’t decide between a brand new 2019 black ss 1le vs 2017 stingray 1lt manual with 4000 miles! Corvette looks exotic and special but the new black ss 1le looks so aggressive and mean!

[@TheDutchTexan]

Never driven the stingray so I can't form an objective opinion on that one sadly. I do think they look better than the 2019 Camaro's though. I think the Chevy design team was sleeping when they pushed through the front end and rear end redesign for the non ZL1 cars. Sometimes something does not need tweaking. Totally the case for the 2018 Camaro SS. It looked perfect IMHO.

[@johnb3231]

I just went thru the same exact decision. I drove both and ended up going with the 2019 2SS 1LE in black. More of a muscle car to me than the corvette and 1les are rare if you ask me which was another reason I went with it

[@LiveInTheNow247]

Looking forward for the 2020 1LE

[@bigsterms]

Man I want one so bad. But don't want to sell my harley for it lol. Hyper blue is my color of choice.

[@Mors_Atra_]

I own a 2020 5.0 and I'm seriously considering swapping out for the 1LE.

[@TheDutchTexan]

It a great piece of kit IMHO! (But you already know that since you watched the review... LOL).

[@Mors_Atra_]

@@TheDutchTexan Exactly. Haha

[@TheDonmackinnon]

What is the fuse number you pull?

[@shanekelley1307]

You sure know how to keep a secret buddy 🤫

[@TheDutchTexan]

Only those who know... know!

[@DaLizMs]

I'm getting this exact same car in 3 days. 2nd owner 15000km 43k CDN + fkn taxes!

[@TheDutchTexan]

Taxes always kill it. But it pays for the roads to open her up on so... worth it!

[@DaLizMs]

@@TheDutchTexan 2week update, Car is DOPE! I don't even complain about the TAX anymore.

[@TheDutchTexan]

Hahaha! Glad you are enjoying it! But, how could you not? Take care of her!

[@gabrielmeloche2168]

I man wath is your spoiler it is wicker bill blade

[@jamessheret]

Thanks man. Fuck€n love it!

[@TheDutchTexan]

My pleasure!

[@quickdubbs328]

From you, driving the car, when does the 1-4 skip gears come into play?

[@TheDutchTexan]

When you take off gingerly. It just guides you into 4th.

[@quickdubbs328]

@@TheDutchTexan I'll asked about that when I go into the dealership, tomorrow! Great video, with the SS1LE!

[@TheDutchTexan]

Thank you for watching. And no problem, I enjoy shooting these videos when I can, and if they help or entertain someone that’s a major bonus!

[@quickdubbs328]

@@TheDutchTexan It helped, me brother! Keep em coming👏

[@williamloza8137]

They do sell a cheap plastic thing that gets rid of that 1 to 4th skip shift

[@TheDutchTexan]

Would be the first mod I would do! 100%!

[@ericwillis5031]

If I got one, this is what it would look like.

[@TheDutchTexan]

It looks pretty darn clean!

[@sjengvendrig]

Goed bezig

[@TheDutchTexan]

Bedankt!

[@4nthonylopezprettyboy304]

How much is this car in the dealer ? Is my biggest question

[@TheDutchTexan]

The answer is always google. But right now, July 2021, probably much more than it is actually worth due to the shortages.

[@undefeatedgaul3201]

There is a very easy delete for the skip shift

[@shanekelley1307]

I thought you might slip it in the outtakes

[@TheDutchTexan]

Nope! It's a secret!

[@spartan9329]

I used to have a 2017 ss now I have a 2019 mustang gt !!! The visibility and the comfort of the mustang is way better plus it’s quicker to I guess I’m a stang guy

[@TheDutchTexan]

Never had a go in a 2019 and up actually! The newest one I drove was a 2017 GT350 (review edit pending, probably March 2020).

[@jmassey03]

That curb rash 😬😬

If you focus on the negative you will never see the positive!
