Why I Bought A Chevy Camaro 2SS 1LE

[@Turbo329]

I just bought a ZL1-1LE and I literally went through the same thing with my friends who were telling me to get anything but the Camaro. M5, this, that, etc. I'm so happy I went with the ZL1. It's so silly why the Camaro gets so much flack. It's an excellent car and hands down the best performance per dollar ratio currently available on the market. Dare I say it's quite rare too.

[@Gonin60]

That ZL1 will hold up against any other car. You made a good move.

[@islandgringo1134]

I'm currently waiting on my ZL1 1LE to be shipped(according to them it is fully assembled chip and all). Did you have to wait long, or did you luck out and find one at a dealership? It's driving me crazy waiting and not knowing an estimated ship date.

[@Turbo329]

@@islandgringo1134 I bought a 1 owner ZL1 1LE with 8,800 miles. New ones that are assembled could be a few weeks depending on dispatch.

[@islandgringo1134]

@Turbo329 Thanks for the reply, still not sure why they didnt just enroll me in order status update email or at least give me the status code(should be 3800from whatbthey have told me). I've since learned it's something they are supposed to do, but often do not.

[@adrinz4870]

Your friends don't want you to get a camaro bc they are going to be so jealous. Especially the zl1 1le haha

[@anthonyzr1ftw]

I have an 18SS 1LE. In real life the 1le adds the perfect stance with the wider tires and magride and slightly lower ride height. I have received more thumbs up in this car than I can count. Almost every fill-up or ride. Driver engagement is one of the best out there as well. Enjoy!

[@davidszakacs6888]

Having many more years experience than probably most posters here, I’ve opted for an LT1 6-speed. For my uses, 455 HP is more than enough for my purposes. No racing and doing donuts and burnouts. I expect it maybe in December.

Congrats on your 1LE purchase! I bought mine new in 2020 and its the most rewarding car I've ever driven. I have owned many corvettes, camaros, trans am, and several mustang cobras in the past. They were all great cars. There is just something special about these SS 1LE. I also like the fact that they have a cooled manual trans and also a cooled rear differential.

[@dmar5565]

Great quote and motivational video. And a the beautiful v8 growl in the background.

[@Gonin60]

Thank you!

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

The best things about the Camaro are handling, looks (especially the pre-facelift), ride, and chassis. No other sports car (not just muscle car) compares to it for the price. Be it a LS, LT1, or Zl1. Plus Camaros hold their value better than ford and Dodge, except in the current market where Dodge is doing better.

[@Gonin60]

Agreed!

[@greggd2027]

Glad I came across your vid! I recently came upon a 2017 2SS convertible with just over 17k miles on it. In nearly perfect shape. I paid $40k out the door for it. I think it was a great deal. It took me a couple of years of contemplation before I decided to go for it. Not regretting it at all. The power, performance, and handling is there when you need it (or just want to show off a little), but it is also a good cruiser. I drove up the CA coast a couple weeks ago, and averaged 25mpg. Not bad for a muscle car. And I got on it in some of the twisties on Highway 1. What a joy that was. Not disappointed at all with my choice! And I too thought the commencement speech by Steve Jobs was one of the greatest I've ever heard!

[@Gonin60]

Thank you so much! Enjoy your sweet ride!

[@thagoon8000]

YES! You are correct, I chooses the Camaro ss 1LE also because I knew that the charger, and challenger are over rated cars. Don’t get me wrong they are cool, but the Camaro is slept on !

I feel the same way you do about Camaros. I had a 2022 SS, that I sold simply because I could and we’re trying to do a pool so I had to reserve all my funds for that. But hopefully I will be able to put an order in for my 2023ZL1LE That’s interesting that you said you like the fact that not many people have the Camaros. I say the same thing.

[@Na1984]

I bought a brand new 2020 Camaro 1LT in august 2020. The Camaro has been my fave car/obsession/dream car since I was 5 years old. I finally got one 2 days after my 36th birthday. I couldn’t afford aV8 at the time, but my v6 has been a lot of fun for almost 2 years now. All that said I ordered a red hot 2023 1SS with black wheels and sunroof, and red seat belts to trade my current Camaro in for since the value of my current car is still at what I bought it for in 2020. I really would have loved a 2SS, but I’m so excited and happy I can finally get the 1SS. Especially since rumor is 2024 May be the last year for the Camaro. (Well again lol) all that said I love your car, you made the right choice for you, I’m glad to see you’re happy with your choice and thanks for sharing it with us.

And of course, the next year, which was updated with a copper free brake option, was delayed for an eternity...

[@keithcastleberry3993]

Simple question for the Camaro owners. I test drove a v6 LT3 Camaro before buying my 2SS 1LE. I had never sat in a Gen 5 or Gen 6. The v6 test drive had a manual. Smooth and easy clutch and shifting. Get in the 1LE and the clutch is smooth but also pushes back. Seems much stiffer. Engagement is narrow. Very touchy and I have driven and owned manual trucks, compacts, atv's, dirtbikes street bikes, heavy equipment, 1 ton dually with granny low. This initially was the most challenging clutch pedal I had driven. Laugh, poke fun, whatever, just looking to clarify this ordeal. Is it the 1LE track version? I have not driven a 1SS or 2SS. Would like to feel those. Thanks guys. Merry Christmas!

1le is the track version. That was my 6th gen. I actually found the clutch to be light. But I would recommend driving other cars with clutches. The challenger I had was by far the stiffest. Mustang had the lightest. The shifter in the Camaro is the best imo.

[@Gonin60]

By shifter I mean manual transmission

[@cardo1111]

Very nice car. You live in a beautiful state as well. Did The Mighty Five about 2 years ago 👍🏽

[@Gonin60]

Thank you!

[@Z06C5]

Well. Rumor says it will be discontinued. Now the rumor is an LS2 in 2023. A 2023 with an LS2. In a convertible would be great

[@Gonin60]

We will see!

[@salvadorismo9595]

Excellent decision bro. It indeed was a wise one. Why drive what everyone is driving? Be the one tha stands out of the crowd. The Camaro would also be my first option.

[@Gonin60]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@Hellcat_Fuego]

The exact reason I bought my SS... I feel like a unicorn at meets and driving around.

[@Gonin60]

For sure!

[@johnnyshipula6934]

I’m awaiting for a royal blue 2022 camaro 2SS 1LE to come in to the dealer has upgraded stuff as well

[@Gonin60]

Nice!!!!

[@lreed31]

First great video here Austin, but yea man I know exactly where you're coming from. When I got my Challenger I was listening to someone else about what to get I originally was gonna get a Camaro and once I got the MOPAR I liked it but I didn't love...not one bit it had more cons than pros for me so it had to go... not to mention the Mopar community is a weird place lol...I love my 2SS and wouldn't trade it for anything....

[@Gonin60]

Glad you ended up with what you love!

[@libertyordeath8351]

I never get tired of my 2016 Camaro SS!!! Cheers!

[@Gonin60]

Thanks!!

[@lenalingreen7596]

It’s such a beautiful car. I love it so much I can’t wait to get mine. Shadow gray metallic ❤❤❤ so excited 😊

You will love it

Bought 2016 2SS loaded-Mag ride-auto-new!!-70000 miles later and cross country trips in comfort I still can’t believe you can buy a car this good off the show room floor-when I was looking to buy it was the only and still the only car I can afford that feels like a track purposed car every time I drive it-cross country averaged 30 mpg to Canadian gallon and I drove it anyway I wanted-comfort is great for 700 mile days-drive in sport mode continuous--drive year round in Canada-actually wish I had a 1LE-by the way this is not my first car of this type-I have owned lots of muscle cars and built pony cars-nothing compares to this!!-I am 66 years old-drive the wheels of my car and would gladly purchase a new 1LE-and consider a new or used ZL1-although a lot of the ZL1 power can’t be fully utilized and keep your license and yes I have driven them--

[@Gonin60]

So glad you’re enjoying your ride! They are great machines and can be great daily drivers. You did great on MPG. My best is 24.5 on the highway. Maybe it will just take some time to break in.

[@somanyroads74]

Great great video. I’ve had a couple mustangs gt’s , a 5th Gen SS Camaro and currently have a Ram 1500 with the 5.7 in it. So kinda a taste of all 3 brands. But I just placed an order for a 2022 2SS 1LE and this video was so relevant to me. I went through every emotion you talked about when deciding what to buy. I thought about the 10spd but I just couldn’t do. No way I was getting this car without a manual. I’ve always had them and I wasn’t going to buy what potentially could be the last new muscle car I ever buy in an automatic. I’m probably 14 weeks out on the build and already I’m dyin to get into it. Thanks so much for a great video. I really enjoyed it. 😎🏁

[@Gonin60]

You bet! Thank you so much for watching!

[@cnewell1971]

I have a 2021 2ss 1le A10 and i thought same thing but i went with the auto..its amazing!! Fast as hell!! Shifts are lightening fast..and i average 24.9mpg.. glad i went with the A10 ..i can sip on my coffee if i want or i can run thru 9 gears if i want..its awesome!!

[@evancontos2267]

Good for you, congrats! Future content idea, curious to see if Ford ditches the MT82 for the Tremec in all of the Stangs when they redesign the S550 platform, especially with the law suit pending. The Mach1 is pricey but awesome! I too switched to the smaller Camaro 2SS 1LE manual, super well balanced 😎😎

[@Gonin60]

I like the idea! They really need to ditch it! Glad you’re enjoying your ride. They are very well balanced.

[@Tusuperbis]

My friend who has a 2020 mustang gt pp2, now has a tr6060 in his car before it even had 8k miles on it.

[@JoeSmith-nu8oo]

1LE Camaro's are like Good Women, you know they exist but good luck finding one!

[@Gonin60]

Lol I love it!

[@mauricejordan2265]

You’re right about seeing mustangs everywhere haha I chose between a 2020 black mustangs GT PP1 or Camaro SS and picked the stang I kind of regret it lol

[@Gonin60]

Both are great cars

[@Ac-ly8tx]

These will be the last of the v8’s! Can’t wait to get one!!!

[@Gonin60]

Thanks!!

[@michaelpackulak2833]

I got a 2022 Camaro LT1! 455 horse’s is very respectable for that LT1! Plus if I wanted to up grade the car all I have to do is supercharge it and I’ll have a ZL1 with out all the stuff your car has or the ZL1 has ! And possibly faster cause my car will be lighter then yours ! My cat isn’t here yet ! And now I’ll have to wait till summer to even get to drive it ! But I’m super excited 😊 and I’ll try post it on here on you tube !

[@Gonin60]

LT1s are lighter that’s for sure! Summer will come before you know it.

[@Hogwarts-Dropout]

Anyone else think the body kit on the ZL1 looks a little too cartoony? I've been wanting to get a new Camaro ever since I sold my 5th gen last yr, and the body kit and the wheels on the ZL1 is the only thing that's keeping me from getting one of them. I much prefer the look of the SS 1LE with the standard rockers wrapping underneath the car. It makes it look like an old school track car, which is definitely a good thing.

[@Gonin60]

The wind is too much for me on the ZL1 1LE

[@ignaciogutierrez9729]

[@thullraven1]

I'm in Texas. Trucks are BY FAR the most populous vehicle on the roads here. That said, I see pretty much the same amounts of various trims of Camaros as I do Mustangs and Challengers here. They are all represented here. Black Mustangs are a popular sight, but I did things to mine to make it stand out from the crowd. Some look similar, but none are exactly like it.

[@Gonin60]

Right on!

[@davidjordan6378]

Bought a 2017 2ss convertible brand new. Kalahari top and interior. I get more compliments on that car than any I’ve ever known. A little side note you will eat a challengers lunch in a race . They are just to heavy.

[@Gonin60]

Thanks for sharing!

[@robertmoore5467]

Have to agree with you, Camaro is not often seen on the highway. Go to the track and you see the SS/1LE, ZL1 and Mustang well represented but hardly ever a Mopar(talking road course here). Got a ‘19 1LE and sold it before the summer to my dealer as the money was too much to turn down. I really enjoyed that car on the track but hard to fully enjoy on the street as tire always cold, outward visibility issue. After another round of exhaustive research here I am, waiting for my ‘22 1LE...still the best bang for the buck (IMHO) in the OE ready track car plus the misses likes the sound and even enjoys driving it. Get one while you can. If they offer the rumored ‘24 farewell edition sign me up.

[@Gonin60]

They really are the best bang for your buck!

[@-android-7074]

Congrats on the amazing Camaro. Great video and life advice. Subbed. OH! Did Chevy ever help with any of your doorside delivery concerns? Thanks in advance!

[@Gonin60]

Thank you!!!

[@m1k3y_]

I ordered a 2022 Camaro 2SS with the 10 speed automatic transmission. Thoughts on manual vs automatic? Main reasons were I heard automatic is better for launching/roll racing and remote starter (I live in a place where it snows/experiences cold winter). What are your thoughts on auto vs manual for the Camaro?

[@Gonin60]

I’m a manual guy but the automatics are fantastic in the Camaros

[@Americafirst-i8q]

The difference between the manual transmission and the automatic transmission is with the manual transmission you feel more connected with the vehicle since you're more in control of it

[@Tusuperbis]

I've always driven manuals because they are just more fun. You feel like an integral cog in the machine instead of being just along for the ride.

[@jordanmasaki2676]

Love your videos! I am actually looking around for a Camaro for the near future and has always been my dream car. I am really wanting a 2SS, but not sure if I want the 1LE package. Any recommendations on pros and cons on it, and do you know how I can go about searching for a similar car?

[@Gonin60]

2ss is a great choice! 1LE gets you magnaride, heads up display, you can get PDR on 1LE. I don’t think you can go wrong either way. If you plan to race or track it then 1LE. However all Camaros handle so well. If buying new I used the Chevy inventory tool on their site and other online car search tools.

[@stevegiu4232]

Heads up display on 2ss non1le also

[@ammooth1592]

The Camaro, is the only car in my mind, that makes sense. Basically it comes down 2 what's affordable, and what u are feeling 💯. My concerns about the Camaro, if I were 2 get one is the monthly note, insurance garage space 2nd daily driver vehicle 💯. Now the reality, of the Camaro, being discontinued after year 2024 really concerns me 🤔🤔. I really would like to know 1rst hand about the car I wanted since I was a kid before it's gone 💯.

[@Gonin60]

You got this!

[@eduardooneal]

Where i live, for every camaro i see, i see Atleast 2-3 mustangs and 5-6 challenger/ chargers

[@Gonin60]

Same!

[@jamestravis1037]

Love it!! Congrats!!

[@Gonin60]

Thanks!

[@Dntevntr11p]

Im actually looking in to getting one soo and I am super excited what mods would be good to go with?? (2023 SS 1LE)

[@Gonin60]

Depends on if you mean performance mods or just looks or protection. I highly advise rock guards and paint protection film especially before the rear tire. The 1le tires throw rocks like crazy.

[@anthonyr829]

I've owned Camaros for 30 years. Having said that I am currently looking into buying a Challenger Scat Pack. I test drove a slightly used 2019 2SS and felt too cramped. I love the looks for the 6th gen but the small trunk, interior is not for me. I agree with you on the manual transmission option. Its why the Charger is off the table for me. Mustang is a fun car to drive as well. Enjoy that beautiful Camaro because this muscle car era is coming to a crashing end soon.

[@Gonin60]

You will like the Challenger. The clutch gave my leg a work out the most but has much more space. Enjoy!
