Why the 2LT Camaro is a Rip Off

[@OmniRider]

I will be using a Dash Cam from now on in the upcoming videos (again); turns out a lot of y'all prefer dash cam view. Also, I will have the gopro video (what I use to film these videos at the moment) off to a side viewing window. Heads up: This weekend I will be showing my 2017 Camaro SS and 2017 Yamaha R6 so look forward to my thoughts & opinions of owning both of those beasts.

[@mauricemotors8207]

Omni Rider I spy a Texas registration sticker lol what part are you in?

[@JamesMcilwaine23]

I own a 2017 2LT rs convertible, I saw a 1ss go for a few grand more than mine but one of the main reasons was cost. Sure they may be very close in cost but look at insurance, tax, fuel economy and cost of maintenance. Sure v8’s May be better but in the long run, it’s more practical to have a v6 over the v8. Not to mention the fact that you don’t need 455 bhp, 335 is still gonna get me from a to b and the 2LT has all the luxuries of the ss with less cost long term. I am 2LT and proud. But then again that’s just my opinion.

the justification for the 2LT V6 (vs SS) is if you are on a budget, live in the city, and use this car as your daily driver the v8 burns too much $$ (considering only using the full potential of the V8 on a race track or thru way without the police harassing you), at the same time the car will be fully loaded for your comfort - hope this helps

[@Mral236d]

Go buy a prius if you care about gas mileage and not getting pulled over as easily. Getting a v6 camaro or sports car in general is a joke. If someone is on a budget and cant afford to fill up a sports car then there's plenty of other vehicles that are gonna offer nicer interior and better gas mileage than the v6 camaro for the same price and in many cases actually cheaper.

[@nrgrlsd9931]

The v6 is still a sports car and it performs well. As well as any car would need to for the person who is going to drive it daily and never hit the track. 335 hp is legit. No it isn't a demon but I see videos of guys wrecking those high hp cars all the time. Some cars were made for the track. Some were made for the street. Buy accordingly. I own an lt with the rs package. It's wonderful for what I use it for. Hell, the v8 that it replaced only had around 280 hp. Hp isn't everything to everybody. It still drives like a sports car. Not like a honda or a Camry.

[@blackice7408]

I love the thought of having an SS Camaro but at this moment it's smarter to get a V6 (for me personally). I would rather get the Camaro with luxury bits (2LT), simply because I love Camaros V8 or not but I also love a luxury feel and since I am under the age of 25, car insurance will kick my ass for having an SS. I want to be able to enjoy my Camaro without insurance breaking the bank.

True Camaros are more expensive than ever, but they have really stepped up their game for the new generation. Handling, luxury and of course power are all better than ever.

Totally agree, I think the price is justified. I'm just thinking the 2LT is a bit price gouged, especially by the dealerships.

Quinn Kirlew you have a good point, in 1997, you could get a Z28 Convertible for 26,995. we need the Z28 back.and GM could price it between the 1LT and 1SS. gm makes bad decisions at times.

Why you may ask - the 2ss costs almost $500 more per month on gas...I drive 50+ miles per day and at 16miles per gallon.... that would be a little steep. Second insurance costs increase. The fully loaded v6 is still really powerful and looks exactly the same as the SS when fully loaded.

[@Icosiol]

I got my 2017 2LT 1LE for $34k brand spanking new. That was a price I could not turn down considering that package goes for about $42-$45k. My insurance went down, and my highway miles are ridiculously good. Sure, I'm not the fastest guy in town, but the car looks great, and outperforms 95% of other vehicles in corners. Do I wish it was a V8? Yes, but that was out of my price range in a 1LE package, and it's nothing a pro-charger can't fix.

[@hunteraltman4762]

Nice pick, good point!

[@surrealinabox5220]

Gotta say the 1LE package is a really good pick for the V6 especially on the track. The V8 is so beautiful sounding but it's a bit more costly. Eats up gas, costs waaay too much if your not 25+, and maintenance is a little bit more costly too. I say the V6 Camaro with the 1LE package is a true steal of you ask me.

[@jaymuzikelsensacional]

ill go for the all options, i dont need the v8 when the v6 is pretty fast and enough for every day driving, ill take a Camaro over any bmer, plus remember insurance is lower then v8, 2lt is a great choice, love having leather and all the gadgets makes it less boring

For me it was about what I could afford and how long I wanted to save and go without a having a car. I have a 2016 V6 2LT RS, that I got for $23,000 with only 24,787 miles on it with every option including quad pipes and I love the car. When I was searching for a new car I knew I did not want to finance, so the car had to be in the right price range, I could not afford a V8 at the time. I did know before I bought my 2016 Camaro that I would be trading it in for a 2SS after I saved a bit more. All I am doing now is waiting to see what the 2019 Camaro refreshed car will look like and then decide If I like it or not. If the refreshed car does not look good then I will buy a 2017 or a 2018 2ss. (That's the plan at least.) You can see my car on my page, I have since added 22 inch replica camaro wheels

Agreed. Price is not always a factor. For me, I got the 2LT V6 because luxury was more of a factor to me and performance was secondary. In MY OPINION, camaros aren't true muscle cars anymore, they've turned into more of a luxury sports car and that's exactly why I oped out for the 2016 Camaro V6. It's also great for insurance. I'm in my early 20s and live in Los Angeles California, I pay as much in insurance as my car payment.

[@pollutedcrimson]

Cant believe no one's mentioned the fact that the V8s need premium fuel while the V6 runs fine on regular. The massive of a price difference for fuel is what makes me lean towards the V6. I'm fine with 335 horsepower, it's not like you can ever really use the full V8 power anyway unless you take your car to the track. V8s are more for bragging rights and V6s/I4s are more for efficiency for daily driving, cost savings, longer commutes. I know the I4 ruffled a lot of V8 Camaro purist's feathers but honestly, who cares?

[@TheulimateBearsfan]

See I own a 2012 1LT V6 RS and I do wish I got a 2LT because the technology would be a plus but honestly what gets me im the 2LT or 2SS is the interior lighting bigger screen and the heated and cooled seats. I’ve thought a lot about a 2LT V6 or 1SS and made up my mind to go used 1SS 6th gen. Really cloth isn’t that bad and the heated and cooled seats would be not be used much where I live.

[@reeses-puffs7567]

So I bought a 2lt v6 camaro 2016 brand new in early 2017 so for me the price was equal to a base camaro, but also for a 16 year old insurance between v6 and v8 are decently different , then for a 16 year old driving around all the time and I have to pay for my own gas It would have been a lot, I also wanted to have all the new technology like the blind spot and all that, I would still say personally paying 28k for a 2lt if I was slightly older like 18 and found a 2ss for 35-37k and was how I wanted it. I would have gone with 2ss

When you factor in the insurance and running costs of bmw, or any luxury German brand, it becomes far more expensive than a comparable pony car. Especially over the long term.

[@trentthompson627]

I’m looking at a Blue 2018 2LT Camaro (coupe). My reasoning for wanting the 2LT Camaro is that I love the exterior design of the 18 Camaro and the 2LT has that exterior design along with all of the interior features that I want. I noticed in your video you said you’re aimed more towards performance but I’m aimed more at design and (as you put it) luxury. That’s why I want the 2LT specifically because it offers the design that I’m into while also giving me the option to have those interior luxury features. I want a sun/moonroof, the safety features (like lane change, park assist, etc.) and the fancy technology like the radio display. I’ve put off getting it because when I first looked at one near me that had all of the features I wanted it was $40,000+. Now that I’ve waited so long it’s dropped about $10,000. I plan to wait until probably summer 2019 to get it so I think/hope it’ll drop more in price. But that’s why I’d get the 2LT myself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@NotKenBlock94]

I personally am planning on purchasing a 2lt V6 Camaro this fall. I'm not making the purchase because "it's a Camaro". I'm making it because it's a RWD V6 sports car that's got decent fuel economy, doesn't require premium fuel and has two-zone automatic climate control with heated and cooled leather seats. It also has the option to get a nice Bose speaker system and Android Auto/Apple Carplay. All of this comes out to just under 32k. With the dual-mode exhaust setup, it's just under 33k. I have been saving up since my Subaru Impreza started rattling just a couple months into my owning it back in August 2016. Don't get me wrong, the Impreza was a FANTASTIC first car and I'm very grateful that I was able to get such a good deal on it (a young couple had bought it but the husband returned it like a week or two later since his wife had influenced his decision originally, so it was in pretty much perfect condition). Back then, I liked cars but I didn't have the appreciation for them that I do now and I feel like the 2lt trim is a good middle ground when it comes to sportiness to luxury (for lack of a better term) ratio. I do believe though, that no matter what car I have after my Impreza, I will have more fun than I currently do.

I agree. I bought the 1LT (RS). It was roughly 32 grand. The fully loaded V6 Camaro’s run over 40 grand, some of them on up there at 45 grand. It’s ridiculous. I could have got an SS for that price. (I chose the V6 though because it’s cheaper on payments, cheaper on insurance, and better on gas. I drive roughly 100 miles a day a get around 40 MPG.) And I had heated leather seats installed, and the car came with a Bose stereo system. The only thing it’s lacking that the 2LTs have that I have blatantly noticed is the heads-up display, duel climate control, and the fancy light show. And I do not envy any of it when it costed an extra 10-15 grand.

[@SamBollinger35]

Well, if you were looking for gas mileage and insurance, why did you consider a Camaro? I mean, if you're gonna pay 30k for a Camaro it might as well be a 1SS. If you wanted a sports car with good gas mileage, I would have gone for something like a 350 or 370z personally.

[@zackleitheiser6606]

I haven’t read through all the comments but like you said you want input. And understand this is an old video. I have owned my 2018 Camaro RS 2.0 for about a year now and purchased mine pretty new with only 2,500 miles on the car and not even broke in yet. As you said your a fairly young individual and so am I being 22 years old. The main selling points with me on the turbo 4cyl were easy for me. Light weight, great fuel mileage, comfortable, 2lt package loaded. Had all the top features I wanted except for a sunroof which I’m fine with. But the big things that took affect was insurance on the vehicle. It’s insane. But with research and studying on them, they out perform the V6, and can compete with the V8’s from Ford and dodge. The 4cylinder camaro is not a car to sleep on at all with just a cold air intake and throttle controller and pushing 4.4 second 0-60 with 18 pounds of boost STOCK. Yes it is a 4cylinder and nothing fancy but motor wise you can get them close to 6.2 zl1 horsepower because you can push higher RPM’s through smaller motors unlike the bigger motors and with it being a 1,000 pounds lighter it makes them very competitive. I got the luxury, the power/performance, and the affordability to own it without sacrificing a limb to own it. Loved the video and look forward to seeing more content from you! 👍🏼

I traded in my BMW 550i GT with a Camaro 2LT fully loaded V6. Sometime it is not about having a V8 or V6 but having a decent sport car with high end configurations. The 550i GT has 400hp and goes from 0-60 about 5 secs, pretty much the same as 2LT V6. I had a 2015 Mustang GT before and the 5.0 V8 just don't feel as same as a twin turbo V8 powered BMW. I sold it for a used maserati quattroporte, but the quatrroporte was a headache when comes to F1 transmission issues.

[@burakoshimazaki]

It could be that people just love their favorite cars, so it may not matter if they love Camaros.

[@JZ-hy1yc]

Hey man love you and ur bro's videos! Keep it up man! Have a great night!

[@RCbashingtheKRATON]

i got a 2Lt RS.. I dont have to justify but the Fifty anniversary edition only comes in a 2LT... Ther is only going to be limited Fifty edition and there is not going to be alot of people owning same car as you have.

[@alanramkumar3132]

I know this video is 2 years old but I liked your video and reasoning you have given for the cons of a 2LT. I am actually looking at a 2019 LT2 model and with rebates and incentives the price is $22k. In your opinion is that worth getting? The MSRP on this model is $34k. I know they are trying to get rid of the 2019 models on the lot since 2020's have already arrived.

[@ceomark.]

I purchased my 2017 Camaro 2LT RS new with 10 miles last year for $33k out the door , I drove a 1SS rental and actually wish I would’ve gotten the 1SS instead. My LT got totaled so I’m getting a 1SS Convertible for $33k with 6k miles next week

[@wortega563]

When buying a car, most people first look for the style of car they want. In the case a Camaro. Then they way in on the factors of purchasing the car. For example, is it a daily drive, does it snow, insurance cost, how many miles they drive to work, fuel cost and etc. then comes the features(do I want comfort or not). That is the main reason people chose the 2LT RS over the 1SS. I could simply say don’t waste your money on a 2SS Camaro and buy a sting ray for $2k more. Trust me, I know. I have a 2017 RS Redline and a 2016 vette and I don’t plan on driving vette in the snow...I also love all my luxury features

[@johntuffield1457]

I don't understand, am I missing something? I have been looking at Camaro 2LTs lately because I'm interested in one, the 1LTs and 2LTs with the v6 are right around $22-25k. Did they come down in price significantly, the examples in your video say a 2017 and 2018 Camaro 2LT are $40k.

[@jacobrzeszewski6527]

Personally, the way I see it is that the 1LT, 1SS, and 2SS are the performance versions of the LT1, LT2, and LT3 respectively. You can therefore conclude that the V8 will add 8k to the price of any given model (accounting for standard options not available on the V6 and I4). For many, 8k is just too much for a 150 hp increase when the 275 hp is more than enough to get a felony on its own. Some people just want a Camaro with leather and premium audio. And that stuff is more worth it than extra horsepower at the expense of quietness and gas mileage.

[@donniedunlap3820]

I personally want a ss Camaro but I also dont have 800 dollars a month for car payments and I wont be on the race track every day so I'm just fine with a 5 second 0to60 times and a cheaper price point

[@jasonkennedy3991]

I would have said the same thing as a younger man, no way I would have wanted a V6 Camaro, but The 2LT is def the best value for the money.

[@NeoxUnderxGOD]

With all due respect, it sounds like you are just trying to justify buying your 1ss? I’ve been looking at the 1lt RS package for a while now, and the 2lt has some nice technology behind it. Either one would be fine, but it your looking at a long term daily the 2lt would have a more bearable shelf life. The whole car interior is very well put together but the dash cluster that the 2lt has is sexxiiiiiiiiiiii bruh. Just get in the car and watch it go. All in all, buy what you want people. If they aren’t putting money towards your payments, their opinions do not matter 👌🏾 o and the girl u like, she doesn’t give a f what the trim is, all she sees is that sexy ass maro ✊🏾

[@wildfreak101]

You get it because you’re 16 and your mom loved you enough to buy you a Camaro but also loves you enough to not let you get a v8 yet

[@IbanezGuitarz87]

2lt is a great car v6 or v4

[@xs8372]

I got a 2016 1lt RS for 22k!!! Brand new. Super bargain. You have to shop around and get all the rebates possible. Do wish I had leather seats tho lol

[@RealRealDemocracyDiscourse]

It has the luxury i want and the look i want.

[@maxcchiru]

plus the vette is always a convertible with the removable roof panel, sure it takes 10 mins, but that is definetely worth it

[@donmob07]

2lt rs v6 sounds nice for 32k, i wouldnt say its that much of a rip off, i would prefer a 1ss but the 2lt aint that bad

[@carterscantlebury7021]

2LT is better for daily driving in my opinion. I consider myself a car enthusiast and have been looking for my next car purchase. I am only 23 so money is obviously something I must consider. I currently own a 92 Miata & a 13 Dodge avenger. Looking to get rid of both and buy 1 car. The smaller engine provides cheaper maintenance & gas while providing me with a car I can still enjoy driving with a manual transmission. I love the look of a sports coupe but I'm not out here racing people. I work a business job and am using my car as a commuter.

[@brandondavis4269]

I don't want a bmw I'm not buying a 2lt to do any sports racing I'm getting one just to ride chicks around town. I'm more for style and I want the car ever since I saw it in transformers IM A MASSIVE MOVIE GUY plus the v8 engine takes a higher brand of gas than just the v6 for what I'm using for again to get to point A to point B the 2lt is fine with me. I may do some comparison with the 1ss but I'm almost certain I'm going to hit the 2lt plus it's only 20gs

[@betoortega408]

Its 2019 and I want a fully loaded v6 Camaro the price has gone down from 35k to know 22k in only 2 years I'm going to go pick one up next month if it's not fully loaded I dont want it !I rather get a 5th gen Camaro ss for the same price and low miles

[@thisthingmint250]

The v6 when twin turbo can be very powerful if the engine gets rebuilt and twin turbocharged

[@brandongerardo1282]

Hey guys am looking at a 2LT Camaro with very clean interior and exterior. It has a clean title, no accidents, and only has 3,000 miles. The price is $24,000. Is it worth buying?!

[@SamBollinger35]

Simple. Get a 1SS for the same money.

[@Seba_305]

i got my 2018 camaro rs and it runs perfectly, i was gonna go for a v8 but then i realized that the gas is getting mad expensive and i know since i drive a lot,a v8 wouldn’t be a good idea for me to drive, i know for a fact the gas is gonna be 8.50$ in the future..

[@benjamintorio5457]

What do u think of the turbo camaro...i think it kick ass...

[@Laperdash]

Unfortunately this only counts for USA. In Europe (Atleast in my country) you pay a couple K more for a ZL1 which has around thesame miles and is the same generation as the 2.0 version. Tax and insurance is obviously way more expensive as well than it's 2.0 version. A brandnew 2.0 Camaro however, in this example a 2.0 Camaro of the year 2019 without options was for sale for €65.000. The V8 version was double this price, €120.000. Ofcourse it would be epic if you drive a true muscle car where I live, but it's just stupidly expensive to own one, even if you don't drive it. The 2.0 still has the looks on the road, it's pretty powerfull for a 2.0, tax/insurance is doable and there's no need to pick up new gas every time you came back from your drive (Gas is also 4 times more expensive here than in the USA.

[@Hokeymokie]

I bought a camaro 2017 2lt for 27k with the 4 cylinder turbo, good buy?

[@ericfan1223]

Im a salesmen at a chevy dealer in maryland, and y’all showed a blue vert car on 3:59 and that cars still for sale, and im buying it in a couple of days. I want the 2lt but am paying for a car 659 days old... its alllll mine 😋

[@heinkmeister8415]

The point about wanting comfort vs performance is precisely why Euro car guys love european cars -- you get great comfort and performance all in one package. Whereas American performance is all about ditching comfort in the name of performance just so that performance is cheaper. Basically, think of Euro cars as skipping anything below the 2SS in the first place -- you pay a higher price at first, but you're rewarded with better comfort without any sacrifice to your performance.

[@RandySoWavvy]

heinkmeister but the technology lacks like Audi for example their Nav and radio systems couldn't hold a candle to Chevy. I have an Audi and I'm about to trade it in for a 2LT Camaro because the Nav system is basically useless and just for looks. the radio and speakers are crap too. It's such a shame to because unlike Chevy you do get a lot of room I'm 5'11" and can drive very comfortably for hours behind the wheel no problem.

[@spillow762]

100% true

[@chitownflava1]

this is a ignorant perspective... first off you buy a car for one of several reasons.. the 2lt is 335HP iits faster than some V8s ...its easy to mod out to get V8 power n not price.....2nd .. a V8 insurance is gonna be higher... so to get V8 performance in a V6.. dont know what stats your lookin at but the challenger .. charger and mustang V6s have less power and around the same price n higher.....just say YOU cant justify it because what YOU want .. Gas is better... n no matter how u stretch it is a SS is higher.. so YOUR opinion dont speak for facts

[@awawaop]

Frank Sutton big facts

[@huskerfan7660]

but the V6 Mustang is faster than the V6 Camaro (of the same year).. granted Ford stop making the V6, but it was faster and with less HP... Oh and I drive a Camaro. I like them both, but gave the advantage to the Camaro, better look overall, IMO.

[@Ravens69]

You answered your own question..if you want a "performance" car you get the SS. If you want heated ventilated seats..heated steering wheel and don't mind sacrificing SOME performance you get the 2LT. If you want it all..get the 2SS 1LE.

[@stratis722]

U can get the 2SS for luxury and performance

[@vaeretta]

Only thing I can think is maybe insurance is cheaper with a v6, maybe I’m not I really don’t know but that’s all I can think

[@BLSS95]

1. Insurance 2. Winter driving 3. Less room/seats

[@shadusx]

In certain climates, heated and ventilated seats are a must. Try getting into your car at 0 degrees and having a freezing cold ass for 20-30 minutes driving to work, or try getting in your car when it's over 85 degrees and within 5 minutes there is a river of sweat from your neck to your taint that doesn't dry off instantly. Getting older exacerbates these symptoms, and most people who buy lower trim cars daily drive them. Daily drive, what's that mean? Gas exists, and it hurts your wallet filling up 2x as much per year with v8 engines (and insurance, tires, oil, premium fuel for higher hp, etc). If anyone is even half way decent at math, you start to see the benefits of having a less powerful engine. How often can you actually use even a fraction of the power you pay for in a v8? 60-100 pulls in that v8 on a highway will end up landing you with jail time or massive fines. Guess what feels very fast? 2L turbo that's about 400 lbs lighter and has about ~1s less 0-60 time. If you want performance that's fine, but you literally wont be able to use it in most places that are urban/suburban. It's still a great feeling to own a sports car regardless of their performance because they look badass; it's not always about vroom vroom, I personally own one exclusively for the aesthetic.

[@mchlcordell]

The performance of the v6 vs the i4 on the journey it was worth it, I didn’t care about parking sensors back up camera leather, Bluetooth it was just drivability and better performance.

[@excalibur800]

Do people realize it's only more expensive because of the upgraded leather seats and technology. That's honestly why I would buy it because it's cheapest Camaro model that has leather seats but still holds a decent horsepower. Smh just cause a car didn't have upgraded horsepower, people think its a rip off but they didn't even bother to look at the other things Chevy upgraded that's beneficial for comfort.

[@chadbullock6326]

Michigan’s no fault insurance is why not to buy anything with a v8

[@bingster-223]

I think you're right about the price of the 2LT and the 1SS being too close. Although I don't consider it a rip off but i agree before I'd get a 2lt I'd go with a 1SS. In fact im getting a 1SS early next year. I dont mind paying more for it than a mustang or challenger V8. Rather have a v8 than all the interior goodies also
