I test drove this car yesterday. Badass🔥🔥

It seems outward visibility is very poor. Is it that bad when driving it?

This review helped me make my decision. I did buy an ss with 1LE package. Awesome car

Nice review, just got mine a week ago and slowly figuring it all out and breaking it in. 👍

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thanks man it’s an incredible car!

[@josueconcepcion350]

How much are the monthly payments??

[@TimCausleyhorsemanship]

Just drive it-not many people-“break” them in-ok so put your 1500 miles on it the first week and go for it--70000 miles on mine-driven lets say lively the way it was engineered-only car out there for that kind of money that lets you feel that it belongs on the street and track in comfort-also much more fun useable power than a ZL1-even though they have great torque but insanely fast on the street and tire shredders

An excellent/comprehensive review. Camaro prices have gone up significantly a 1SS is now more expensive than the pricing you mentioned on this 2SS before the 1LE package.

Man I appreciate you pointing out the seats won't be uncomfy if you're a bigger dude... I test drove a mustang GT and the stock seats were just too tiny narrow for my back.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Appreciate the comment man I haven’t been in the mustang Recaro seats but compared to the stock cloth seats, these are certainly tighter so if the cloth seats were too tight for you, these likely won’t be any better. However compared to recaro seats in the Focus ST, Focus RS, or even the C8-R edition, these Recaros are miles ahead in terms of bigger dude comfort.

Phenomenal video...

[@seasidewalktosand6567]

The car zooms. Change the tires tho. - too sticky - they pick up everything on the road. FYI - if you don't, you'll spend more time at the tire shop than behind the wheel!

[@michaelzinger8019]

Hey. I watched all your LT1 videos. I watched this video, seen your reaction to the the 1LE. I asked around and everyone says that the 1LE is a different animal. So I cancelled my LT1 custom spec order, and bought a 1LE.

Well this video is a year old but im here because i jumped ship from Dodge ,and i just ordered a 2023 2SS 1LE Shadow grey ,red seatbelts and a M6 ,I cant wait till my car is built but it will most probably be 6 to 9 months

Excellent review of my ideal car! Ideally equipped and apex color and trim...but how much extra for the 1le wing?

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thank you man glad you like it! There’s no extra charge for the wing, its just that the car isn’t shipped with the wing fully assembled and the prep guys need to install it during PDI. These guys just didn’t install the side pieces until after I mentioned that they were missing.

[@kenny3217]

You are brave sir, I am only 5'6" and I cant stand sitting in the back seat of my 2021 2SS, I have to cock my head to the side and it hits the ceiling. I had a 2011 2SS and it was actually tolerable, not sure why they made the back seats even smaller.

I am currently driving my 3rd Mustang GT. I’ve had a 93’ Fox, 19’GT PP1 premium in black on black and now a 21’ GTPP1 premium in Oxf White with Showstopper red interior. I also had a C6 Z06 in Lemans Blue 07’(this car was insane). I’ve only had my 21’ GT for a few months and although it is a great car! I’m kind of wishing I roled with an SS 1LE. Has anyone owned both a newer GT Performance Pack AND an SS 1LE? I’d be throwing away my down payment on the GT which sucks but since the Camaro is going bye bye…. I’ve always respected this car even though I’ve had Mustangs. I even entertained getting a 14/15’ Z28 with that fabled LS7 I had in the C6 Z. But if I want a new Camaro, I need to act soon. Anyone owned both? I’d be interested in hearing your feedback…

[@2iBMX]

I had a 2017 GT performance pack, premium and just got an SS 1LE, I'd choose the camaro 10 times over. This thing is a track weapon no doubt.

[@FL50ssp]

@@2iBMX Agree.

[@sumatai1]

[@Millenniumvett]

It seems like the front is way higher than it should be! Did the dealership take out the spring spacers meant for transport before you drove it?

[@WTFCRLT1]

That’s a good question.. the rear spoiler wasn’t fully installed so I wouldn’t be surprised if the spacers were also left on. I doubt it tho I feel like they’d really effect the handling on the car and this felt razor sharp.

[@robbyrockets1]

The Magride doesn't make a difference between settings when one includes the 1LE package, the ride quality is always in track mode, even when it's not. I had a 17 1LE with Magride and how it felt between track and tour was barely noticeable. Standard 2SS has a more dramatic difference in feel because it doesn't have the 1LE track pieces.

[@15thelongway]

Is magride worth it?

[@FL50ssp]

Sorry but I disagree with your MRC comment. I have a 2019 SS 1LE and definitely feel the difference between the drive modes. The car is not always in Track mode. And you can get the 2SS version with the 1LE option.

I've heard that the vented seats in the camaro are trash and the vented seats in mopar vehicles are the best. If u get the chance, can u verify that? Vented seats are very important to me since I'm here in houston where its always hot and humid even in the winter🤦🏿‍♂️. I'm striving to get a camaro 2ss 1 day but I'm still a mopar guy

[@WTFCRLT1]

The best vented seats I’ve felt to this day are in both the RAM Limited and Ram Longhorn Limited edition which could be where you heard that from and in that case I’d 100% agree, however compared to the scat pack plus or R/T plus when it comes to the suede seats in the challenger, these vented seats are just as good while being far more supportive. I’d go with these all day although the high trim RAM trucks have better vented seats, not nearly as supportive tho.

[@captainjinx42]

So that’s accurate black ice.. remember the Camaro seats are “vented” and not cooled. You can feel them and it certainly helps but my friend’s scat was better. The intake for them is under the seat so if you use floor and vent ac it’s pretty good.

[@cnewell1971]

They are decent...you can definately feel it..

What do u recommend as replacements

But they stick when it’s warm like they’re supposed to. All the track based tires do this. If you want a little more mild with good “normal” driving, the nitro nt’s I’ve heard are better for overall driving.

I personally think the auto is the way to go. The manual is becoming a thing of the past anyway. All of the C8s are auto only. And it’s very nice!

[@honeybadger4389]

@@Cpayne931 I personally prefer the manual. Everything I owned was manual. Even the semi trucks I drive are 18 speeds, so driving in traffic is a breeze, plus I prefer to shave time off lap times by improving my braking points, turn in points and other driver responsibilities as opposed to shaving so little time at the cost of daily driving fun. Plus the auto rev matching and no lift shifting aid in shifting so I can't stomach autos.

Only one thing I didn't like about mine, the gap between the tire and fender lips. Took care of that with a set of Eibach lowering springs, and no, it didn't mess up the cars O.E.M handling package, just make sure you order the 1LE springs, not the standard SS springs.

[@ElectricBlueIX]

The 6th gen was not when “it all changed”. The 5th gen ZL1 and 1LE were the benchmark for handling in the American v8 sector.

[@WTFCRLT1]

You’re right however even with it’s solid rear axle, the Boss 302 was really close to the 5th gen 1LE when it came to handling and overall thrill. The 6th gen just eliminated the competition with its lighter weight and stiffer chassis basically forcing Ford to take the new mustangs to an all new level. Which they’ve still not been able to do in my opinion when it comes to handling at least for the non performance pack trims.
