2023 Camaro LT1: TEST DRIVE+FULL REVIEW

[@josephshatrowsky]

I just bought a 2023 LT1 RS package in black with black wheels and the performance exhaust. I love the car. The front face looks better in person. It’s a great value.

[@WTFCRLT1]

I agree with the front face looking better in person. Good luck with the car hope you continue to enjoy it! 👍🏼

I like these LT1 models. Don't like seeing them creep towards $40,000 though

[@richki.24]

I'm in the Phila PA area and every dealer in my area has a +$5,000 Market Adjustment on Camaros ...

[@john_frangione]

My sticker was 41k without markup on my 2022

[@richki.24]

@@john_frangione my 2018 1SS was about $41k New and came with SS features so good luck with paying that much for a lower optioned LT1. I paid $32k after financing.

[@john_frangione]

@@richki.24 look at numbers. LT1 is faster. Lower weight. I don’t need all the bougie features of the SS. It’s a go fast car. Not luxury car.

[@yungthorough]

They're tra$h... the 2010-2012 Camaros still the best 👌🏾

[@seeingghosts]

Great videos bro. U were a big influence in me getting a 2021 LT1 shadow metallic grey. Color is amazing blue/greenish depending on the light. It was super clean with 23K on it. Figured last hurrah for a V8 6 speed. Should not depreciate much. First car was a 78LT. I am coming full circle in my 50s lol. Really has everything u need, nothing u don't. Mine is tinted dark so its feels like the bat mobile inside. Just starting it up makes it all worth it.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Glad I could help man happy to hear you’re loving the car! It sounds really sweet especially with the 6-Speed hope you continue to enjoy it for years to come👍🏼

[@antdiesel3]

Just got a 23’ 1SS 1LE and am loving it. As a long time BMW owner, I can say the M3 reference to the steering is on point. Car reminds me of the E92 M3 without the understeer and much better brakes. Love the videos.

[@drewmorg.]

How have you been hanging in there with it? Is it a daily? I'm seeing these 1LE go for low/mid 30's used and I'm ok with a 30-40k mileage one. These things are built to last I'm not worried about it at all. BMW's are usually cozy. I'm really looking at these more Mustang GT.

[@antdiesel3]

@@drewmorg. I actually sold it to Carvana about a month ago. With 1360 miles, they gave me $1500 less than what I paid for it last November. As a daily, I would definitely say no. For me, it was just a weekend car and I found myself driving it less and less. It has a lot of great attributes, but it's biggest downfall is a lack of practicality. We were moving a few months back. My wife was using our other car (Tesla Model Y Performance) and I had to take a couple of boxes over to the new house. I could not fit a normal sized box in the trunk, due to the shape, and it wouldn't fit in the passenger seat with it all the way back. The other negatives I found are pretty much the same ones that everyone else mentions. The Mustang has a lot more practicality. I think that's why it outsells the Camaro. Don't get me wrong the Camaro was definitely fun, but it just didn't fit my needs. I wound up placing and order for a G80 M3 with a manual. I had a 21' G80 M3 Competition for about 8 months and loved it. Aside from the automatic transmission that is. Hope the info helps you.

[@drewmorg.]

@@antdiesel3 It DOES help! A lot! I was already edging towards Mustang GT and you just sealed the deal. Thank you so much.

[@Jwdude123]

One other crucial point that almost every other auto channel neglects to mention the LT1 model is several hundred pounds lighter than the SS. Facts.

[@andrewhuamani1224]

Even though I got a 2022 LT1 of my own back in January, i still watch videos of people testing/reviewing them out😂 absolutely love my Camaro, im also on a lease & will most likely buy it afterwards🙏🏽 great video my man

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thanks Andrew I was the same way😂 always watching LT1 videos until I just started making them myself lol glad you’re loving the car tho wish you luck with it!👍🏼🙏🏼

[@joemama2455]

100% buy it at the end dude!!!! That was my plan and i got into a WRangler and 100% regretted it and it cost me a lot to get back into another one which i pick up today!

[@shredwerd009]

same bro, 2022 LT1 lease here. all black redline edition with RS package. sleek as hell

[@Hokage2001]

Im thinking about leasing, was the lease expensive?

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

This will be my very first Chevy muscle car. Terrific job with your content as always bro.

Thank you man it’s a sweet car!!

That engine sound is intoxicating. NPP is the best stock exhaust note I've ever heard. I love loud V8's, and usually need to delete or modify the muffler to get the sound I like. The NPP doesn't even need to be modified on the Camaro.

[@acdc5579]

Love my 2021 LT1 Camaro. great bang for the buck. With the performance exhaust and Bose stereo.

[@x24amd]

Do they come stock with bose ?

[@joemama2455]

Ferman was the dealer that finally got the numbers I was looking for for supplier pricing. Rebecca at Ferman couldn't of been happier to help me. Picking it up this evening and its my 2nd LT1, my first was a 2021. Can't say enough about how grateful I am to them at Ferman. I got quotes from 8+ dealers on LT1s ranging from 39-43k and was getting quotes from 495 all the way up to 780 a month.....Ferman was by far the easiest to work with and by far the more enjoyable of the 10+ dealers I dealt with.

[@COSTA0302]

Arghhh the sounds of that beast is just 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 bout to get mine next month❗️ Thanks man u just made me boosted on getting one❗️🤝🏻

[@walkdawlrdnaj7227]

I'm definitely buying this as a first car

[@twiceonsundays]

Great choice! Fair warning: This type of car will spoil you. You won't ever want to own or drive anything less.

[@koala2686]

@@twiceonsundaysis it true it has many blind spots or did u not face any issues?

[@twiceonsundays]

@@koala2686 Yes, the visibility is terrible! Lol but don't let that stop you. You have to be VERY careful until you get used to it. Mine had the rear spoiler camera, do that helps out a ton. I traded it for a C7, which is the only thing better than the Camaro in my opinion. If it wasn't a Corvette, I'd still have the Camaro.

[@Jwdude123]

One final point the color he’s referring to in the video is called wild cherry tint coat. They only made it for 2021 and 2022 GM discontinued Wild Cherry tint coat after that. It will be a collectors item. It’s about as close to Candy Apple red as you’ll ever get on a Chevy!

[@scottdavis_34]

This one is spec out pretty well but I’d rather have the tech package included instead of those dealer installed options. Hope u made it through the storm ok!

[@WTFCRLT1]

At this price point I’d have to agree especially since most of those options haven’t been installed yet lol. Thankfully everything’s fine at least for most people in my area.. Fort Meyers, Naples, and parts of Sarasota took the worst of it I appreciate the concern Scott!! 🙏🏼

[@MasterCarguy44-pk2dq]

Dont beat on it until at leaat 100 miles for the vakes to seat etc. And the TR6060 manual trans is actually quicker (provided you are really good with stick). And max acceleration is obtained in D dont use the paddles, they're just there for sporty feel and do not enhance accelerstion

[@jessieshutter]

I got the same exact car!!! Well worth the money. A little more cash put into it. Gonna have a monster!!!

[@seeingghosts]

Will add that I think the lip on the Goodyear run flats protect the black rim a bit. Had the firehawk Indy 500s on my 2015 Q60 and the rims were constantly getting blasted. How r your rims holding up with the Firestones u have?

[@WTFCRLT1]

You’re right about the lip the Goodyears certainly had more of it. I haven’t had any issues however I’ve been pretty lucky when it comes to curbs lol hopefully the luck doesn’t run out!

[@chriscraft77022]

that would be a perfect daily driver.. i traded my 17 ss in for the big dog camaro and I dont even feel comfortable parking it out of my sight

[@josephs3613]

I have over 90k miles on my 2021 LT1 Camaro, They are reliable.

What is gas tank capacity? 19 gallons?

[@turbinexman]

19.1 gallons

When skipshift pops up, you can go into 3rd, you're not forced into 4th.

[@dougmaverick3287]

Why did you get the automatic over the sweet shifting 6 speed Tremic manual?

[@Americafirst-i8q]

When you buy a new car I always recommend putting a nice steering wheel cover on it

[@thermionic8530]

Hey Buddy, I can tell you're really into the Camaro, and that you know what you're talking about. I can verify, everything you say is factual. Raul huh? Okay. Good job with this video. Thanks!

[@WTFCRLT1]

Yup Raul is the man to see! Love the Camaro I’m glad you like it too!!🙏🏼👍🏼

Soon I wanna lease this kinda of Camaro and I hope they still stay this price 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@mygaminginfo1375]

I just wanted to ask about the gap between driver window and quarter window I did pour water on that gap and water goes in and the side of the door to bottom is wet. Can you make video for that issue because im sure im not the only one bothering about it

[@matrox]

2023, is exactly like the 2022 except has a higher price tag.

[@goata8]

Anyone know the part number for that polished/chrome-ish V shaped piece on the front grille? Is it addable onto non rs bumper or is that part of the whole bumper?

[@russelldesalvo3728]

The Mustang does finally get struts for the hood in 24

[@anthonylossie9680]

I’m looking at the 2023 and it’s not showing me the option for the 10 speed on the lt1 it’s just showing the 6 speed or when u get it in automatic does it automatically put it as a 10 speed

[@Tommy_Irish]

I'm 6'5". Do you think I could fit in this?

[@WTFCRLT1]

Yes. I have at least 6-8” of more room to slide the seat back but I have the steering wheel all the way towards me and it feels perfect. It may feel a tad far away for you but barely bc I’m sure u got longer arms.

[@Tommy_Irish]

@@WTFCRLT1 That's what I wanted to hear. Thank you.

[@miathehusky6860]

Would like to go cheap with 1ss blue with black stripes. But the Wife needs heated seats. So I will probably go 2ss

[@redcloud870]

Great review my friend. Thanks

[@lawpilot8526]

3/7/2023 The driver seat does not recline beyond 20 degrees from vertical, unlike the Mustang GT seat which reclines 50 degrees. The Camaro's unreclinable seat was a deal breaker for me. Next time, show the viewers just how little that driver seat reclines.

[@technicallywizard4847]

Can you elaborate about blind spot’s please

[@driftracerr34]

Blind spots suck but it’s nothing you can’t get used to. It’s a two door pony car

[@xsixinfantryx]

LT1 also doesn't have the 3 radiators like the SS does..... and pretty sure also dosent have the heat exchanger in the rear like the SS.

[@firstlast8703]

Great video , definitely going to get one 🔥🔥

[@kennethj164]

How to do the flashing headlights?

That’s just an effect that happens when they’re on camera, they don’t actually flicker in real life!

Did you notice the 2023 models all have the SS style headlights

[@WTFCRLT1]

I believe the 2020,21,&22s all have the same lights

[@EddieHDee]

this is just me but... my only complain is the black plastic underneath the headlights.

[@gilbertahsam643]

You forgot the dealer sit charge and taxes

If Your a Ford die hard all you have is the Mustang. If your a GM fan then you have Camaro, Firebird (over most of the Camaros Life Span), Corvette, and many other performance GM cars. Thats the real reason Mustang usually out sold the Camaro.
