People are constantly comparing what's quicker than this and that. Who gives a fuck about any of that. If you're not taking it to the track it means absolutely nothing. Drive a car that you like.

In October I got my 2017 Ford Mustang GT with a Performance Pack for $36k. To think I could have bought a 1LE for $6k more breaks my heart. Don't get me wrong, I love my Mustang but when I drive it my smile isn't as big as when I drive the 2SS. I'll definitely be trading it in when possible.

Put $6k worth of mods into the Mustang and make itbetter than the Camaro and end up with a car that looks way better and has a nicer interior than the Camaro. The 1LE package isn't some magic witchcraft, it's suspension and sticky tires.

my insurance agent told me once that part of the premium, is the likelihood of it getting stolen based on national statistics. I reckon that means a Charger is more likely to get stolen than a camaro.

@masonrice97

SRTMUSH most likely the biggest reason is that the charger is a sedan and the Camaro is a two door. Probably more at-fault accidents in the Camaro too.

Selling price is for sure one factore, insured's age, driving record, horsepower, collision repair costs, etc,etc. But I had a Challenger SRT8, and went to a Charger SRT8, same year, and the price went up, thought it would go down by going from a coupe to a sedan. Went from a 2008 SRT8 to a 16 Hellcat, price went down. Agent said one common reason a lot of people arent aware of, is the chances of it being stolen based on national stats. For whatever reason, the Charger was stolen more often than a Challenger. And newer cars are harder to steal with Key Fobs and other security measures in place. Again, this is according to my agent and may not be correct. Just passing along what I was told.

Chevy has pretty much made it so there is no point to buy a vett anymore. the camaro is fast, has its engine and is cheaper. I'm not sure if it's just my area but I rarely see the new v8 camaros for some reason. although my area the price for any vehicle is high.

These are without a doubt the best looking cars on the market today. The best part for you is not having to deal with MOPAR electronic issues. My guess is this car will be faster then your SCATPACK once you get the launch figured out. I still can't believe anyone would think you would buy a Mustang instead of this car. Congrats and I can't wait for more videos.

My choice was between the 2ss and the Challenger Scat Pack. I chose the lifetime warranty with the Dodge.

1) the front plate, has to been installed by dealership if required by state, should have called and requested not to install the plate bracket. 2) insurance on the car is based on repairs and the how many accidents on the models, Camaros are tens of thousands which most not all are 6 cylinders. you'll find more wrecked Charges do to police and the Hellcat wrecks driving up insurance costs up. 3) drive what you like. I worked for a Ford Dealership here in Mishawaka Indiana, for 18 years, asked them to locate the car I have now from a auction. after a week went some were else and bought my Chrysler 300c Hemi. looking forward to more video's hopefully I'll get my Challenger Scatpac one day

He never said it was rare. He said the 1LE is "more rare" than the new ZL1. The ZL1 is easier to find than a 1LE. The same was true with the 5th gen 1LE.

God forbid you let them detail it before they hand you the keys. I think really high end dealerships like Porsche & Jaguar, etc actually do it the right way.

I agree the front plate holder dealer install is ridiculous. I would remove it and find some rubber blank plugs to fill the holes. My dealer was smart enough to not do that with my RT so it is now occupying shelf space and no front holes to fill.

jeezig12 also the tiny back seat, tiny trunk issue. The c7 vette is actually a much more practical daily since the hatch has 2x the storage as the ss. I was going to buy a 16ss but bought a 16 scat challenger for a daily instead. If I had a 16 ss I'd have to use my c6 vette as a daily since it's more practical from a functional standpoint.

I know exactly how your feel about the front license plate. When I bought my 16 mustang GT I specifically told them to not drill the bumper to the point where my salesman hid the license plate bracket in the trunk. Well.. the service guys found it and I noticed it had been installed right as my salesman was walking me out to the car explaining how he told the service people not to install it.. It was definitely a disappointment because I wanted to install a hidden license plate mount but the car was so much fun I forgot about it pretty quick.

Insurance is cheaper because 4 doors are assumed more likely to carry more passengers, more passengers equal more people that can get hurt in an accident, which means higher insurance.

Hey man, those bumper grill inserts are usually pretty cheap overall, in fact, on GM Parts Direct, the lower grill cost about $80. Double check but on my Chevy, that part comes in the finished color so no painting needed. That's probably the cleanest way to get rid of the holes in your bumper cleanly.

I could see the insurance dropping from the Charger to a Camaro. Both are sport cars, the only difference between them is one more person you can kill in the Charger, being a five passenger car. I heard something similar with GT500's being more expensive than a Corvette for insurance costs.

I think that the consumable cost of things on the SS1LE like replacing its wider tires and bigger brakes is not worth it if you aren't planning to take the car to the track often. I learned that after purchasing a Corvette C7 Z51, it wasn't worth it for street spirited driving. The regular 6th gen Camaro SS has already a great handling chassis, suspension, tires and strong brakes that could be used for ocasional track use and for DD spirited driving👍

Well even though the Charger is a 4 door they treat it as a sports car and it cost even more if you buy an SRT. It makes the SRT 392 useless because you end paying more at the sticker than a Scat Pack/Daytona and it costs more on insurance. Camaro also has On Star which helps ease the pressure of covering everything compared to Dodge and Ford.

I like the choice. The new 6th gen camaro is a really good looking car. I am currently in the market for a new daily. I own a Hellcat for my fun car, but Im currently at hat 35k range looking at the camaro 2SS. Im loving the look of the car, the 8 speed transmission, the new interior, the price point, and its a nice change up. I think the new Camaro's give off a futuristic/aggressive look. Im def a Mopar guy, but I show respect to a nice car.

just drill out the rivets, working at a GM dealer we only put those front brackets per request ( state doesn't require front plate) , it's annoying getting a car from Illinois and they just instantly rivet on the front bracket before the car is sold and put out to sit on the lot. it's silly to me.
