2016 Camaro SS Long Term Review 

Bryan Newman im getting one soon a 2017 1

I'm getting a 2020 Corvette soon myself

Bryan Newman thanks man, I guess I am gunna pull the trigger! Even with like $15 in my bank account : ‘ )

@@PrimePrius 2020 vette with the same features as a 2SS is about $30k more....

Or ever breaking down…

jesus christ I agree I've never thought I had a hard time seeing out of it.

It's not that you can't see out of it - it's that compared to virtually every other car the visibility is poor. Amazing performance, but personally I would prefer a slightly slower car with bigger windows. Still, an amazing machine.

warmongerism You adapt to any car

I am going to be getting my ss in about 2-3 months. i'm putting in offers on houses right now so if i finance a car right now it will fuck up my loan lol, but i'm coming out of a fucking MIATA... I CAN'T SEE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF THIS THING BRO, I have like fucking ptsd making lane changes in this car because i can't see shit and it's so small... I almost felt safer riding my CBR1000rr than i do in the miata lol.

@@imbrandon16 how is it?

Faven2011 thanks man. another thing I've noticed is the Chevy community is amazing and always looking to help.

Did you get it?

@@manuelpiston got it had it for a almost 2 years.

@@Mar-rk3yg how is it? I'm thinking about getting one soon.

@@manuelpiston same bro looking at a 2017 2ss things a beauty

preludin1 thank you!

Melissa stick to your Honda cat

You won't regret it worth every dollar. I've owned many sports cars my camaro is my favorite. I had a older gt350 that came close but the 6th gen camaro is where its at.

@@mr.eastcoastgrow6132 dont they have transmission issues

@@vonksummer9099 the 6th gen camaro or gt350? I never had problems with either one. And the 6th generation camaro has a tremec 6 speed with rev matching. It's a very reputable company one of the best out there. The Shelby used the tremec too.

not there yet..used the mustang money to pay off my mortgage. next april should have enough cash i rekon

steve james aye thats whats up

@@isaachunt5799 The Camaro family will welcome you warmly, and may you never lose a race again

NOT a good idea lol welp. mustang is so good as it is

@@entertainmentmachNO1 yeah right the s550 is an utter pos car. sold mine as i said now got another gen5 camaro 2ss and loving it

John B hell yeah bother sounds awesome. what color did you get?

John B how the heck did you get 20% man? Good for you! (Teach me so I can buy one!)

Jessica Haller Jess, I had the foresight to: # 1: know EXACTLY what automobile I was going to pilot. "B": to realize that in November Chevrolet was going to offer a 20% discount incentive for 2016 model autos . #3: to then, before going to my local dealer, ferret out the model of my desires, equipped as such. "C": to then invite my local Chevy dealers to fight amongst themselves...heeheehee #4: it took one dealer to do a "dealer trade". Dealer two (who had my SS) needed a fully loaded truck. Dealer one traded said truck for my SS. "D": in a nut shell, I paid $37,000 for a Bright Yellow Rally Striped 2SS, 6 speed stick shift, MRC. The window sticker WAS $43,000. #5: I really wanted the 2SS to be Summit White...but I'll just have to live with my Mustang Stinging Bumble B ........... P.S.: Do your homework, wait until October... THEN pull the trigger on a Camaro Fifty. I've had them all, M3's, all the Z's, HEMIS, yadda yadda yadda.... my gen6camaro2ss@gmail.com is most worthy. Hint, hint... reach out if you need more help : gen6camaro2ss@gmail.com Happy Trails...

20% off??? At that type of discount I'd be able to afford one 😂

Dale Walker awesome man, love that 1le!

Certainly for the money you just cant beat the new car Clay ...... Cheers Dale @ Holeshot.com

Dale Walker: I find a pull or two on the left paddle sets me up for a corner (works in/out of manual mode)

Jack Wheeler awesome man! you'll love it.

WamSamDaMan thanks man, a little encouragement goes a long way!

Alpha Camaro thanks bud. I've been watching your videos, very informative!

Clayton - glad you like! Looking forward to your next!

Alpha Camaro wow here I thought that car didn't have any issues I wish everyone would put this out on every car or Pic-up they get it would help so much on going to buy one I'm being Serious it would help and even maybe watch out for these problems & try to avoid them if they still get it. but somethings you can't avoid like bumping my knee (and it's my bad one ) on the under dash of my 2010 Dodge 1500slt everytime I get in so I have make sure I really watch it when I do cause it hurts .!! 😠

Alpha Camaro I could go either way with transmission choice

Auto is boring though. I owned both in the gen 5 and I liked daily driving the manual much more.

Automatic is actually faster in this vehicle, but even so I think the best way to experience a muscle car is with standard. I test drove both before buying mine and I think the standard was way more fun to drive than the automatic

I wonder if a different or better dealer could solve the transmission problem for you. Seems like the mil resetting is a odd reason not to fix it. A lot of times if a problem is known to excist or likely to come back the dealer can fix it. Requires a good tech to actually diagnosis it. Hopefully you can get that fixed. I found nice but persistent usually gets me results with the dealership service. Complain but nicely. Hope you get that fix man especially before it comes out of warranty if it still got warranty. Good luck man.

@@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast thanks for the support dude! Yeah i been looking into different shops to go to since they don’t want anything to do with it. Hopefully it will all work out soon enough

Hayder Al Shattawi Ever get that CAI

Chuck Davis All of them have a rear view camera.

Yeah isn't rear camera mandated since 2015 or something? Heard that and wasn't sure if the guy was just talking out of his ass or not.

Camaro Joey no its not mandatory

Yeah these cars definitely have visibility issues. I love the car but every time I drive one I feel like I’m in a coffin.

dry509 I did and drove both, watched every review and comparison available at the time. It all came down to the drive. the Mustang is good but was a little to sluggish and heavy feeling compared to the camaro. it feels much quicker and better planted. the Mustang maybe slightly better for some as daily but for me this is better as a daily. the Mustang has more aftermarket support but the camaro has plenty too. it's sixes either way and comes down to personal preference, you can not go wrong with either. I wanted every advantage possible when I mod and race it and combined with experience I decided the camaro. BTW I am a Mustang guy through and through, have had about five and still have a turbo new edge. hope this helps.

Clayton Yates Thanks for the feedback.

Wahaj Khan thanks

Clayton Yates No Problem M8

Abdul Kalam there are a few simple ways. It's NOT very common that's for sure. if you put a slightly taller tire it will fit so in the rear a 275 45 20 and in the front a 245 50 20 it would look funny but would give you about 10 mm more in ride height. the tire wold be 20mm bigger. besides that a small 1/2 spring spacer. never thought someone would ask to increase ride height but there are some ways.

Matthew Lafferty depends on options and condition. Seems about right though. Find 3 or 4 others for sale in similar condition to compare what they are selling for. Typically any price is slightly negotiable.

Fuel economy is really good on both models. On my tuned car I got 28.8 in a recent test I did. with cylinder deactivation or with a stock tune I think I could have got 30 pretty easy. Problem is you have to drive it really soft to get that fuel mileage. Where as the v6 gets those numbers easier. My average not including tracks days is 22.5 MPG. I would be very interested to see the difference in insurance cost. The v6 model and the 4-cylinder turbo model are both really good options. I think the guy that gets the V8 knows going into it that he wants it. Btw awesome car you have!

Joel Lund throttle response slightly changes. Not very noticeable difference between nodes and performance

Clayton Yates. Thanks man. Gorgeous car btw.

LJ Balongue I have a car with sync 3.

I do too and I even like it better than all the journalists, who have all given it very high marks. It's better than most and is as good as the new 2017 chevy systems IMHO...I have a new SS as well. Both systems are WAY better than their previous models. I like the sync3 responsiveness but chevys clarity.

I agree with you. The Camaro v6 is a really fun car. Feels lighter and handles better with a wheel and tire upgrade

@@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast speaking of the larger wheels, my 2nd reason for not buying that Camaro is I decided I should hold out for the RS package. It's just a matter of getting a certain debt paid, then get my savings back up. So I'm probably going to have to wait for the 2021 model year. But on the bright side, I've had to wait longer than that for weddings.

Hey thanks for the question. Anytime the parameters are met. So low load, cruising, not accelerating. Switch seamlessly

BAD KARMA: Like he said, it's seamless. You can buy a Range AFM defeat to plug in, if it bugs you.

it does. that pissed me off the first time I washed mine.

Rick Klosterman yeah mine does

Back then I believe it was just secondary cat delete and fuse pulled for dual mode. Now it's 2" long tubes into 3" x pipe with factory npp muffler. Changing mufflers to something lighter and a little quieter. Mainly changing axle back to gain room for large rear diffuser. It's a track car now. Sorry long answer for a simple question 😅.

Pedro Napoles good eye, I put it there to get it out of the shot but it did the opposite.

What is holding it up?

Pedro Napoles surprising it stay there really well, I even took a corner at about a great with it there. but nothing really.

I ask because you take some turns pretty hard and it didn't fall over. did you get optional cupholders back there?

hahaha damn that is good. I'm sure you would be upset if it had tipped over. sweet car man. keep the videos coming.

That's tough call man, both amazing cars. I don't know a single person unhappy with the mustang. Cause it's easier to live with on a daily basis. I've never had a problem with the Camaro and wouldn't change for a mustang but all the new muscle/sports cars have gotten so good you can't go wrong. If you haven't driven both definitely do that and which ever one gives that feeling go for it.

its up to you thier both nice cars.

White Camaro great idea man. it is non mag ride. there are a few reasons why non mag but the main was cost vs how good it drove with out. mag ride improves the already great handling and kinda wish I had got it 🤔

My friend with a CTS-V says it's overkill for a street car and I'd never use it to its full potential lol. There's also chatter on forums about how the mag ride would hold up long term and the cost to maintain it. There's a bunch of 100k mile cars running around with it still working fully, but it's like electric power steering - if it breaks, it's gonna cost you to fix it. So I've always wondered if getting the mag ride is better or if you should get stock and save the money, then go for a coil-over? I wanna see coil-over vs mag ride comparison. Mag ride lets you adjust from within the car which is nice but if you're tolerant to bumps then a good set of coil overs will make it one mean handling car.

I agree with what your friend says, being able to adjust does give a sense of money spent well but is it worth it?? Probably not for me. I'm on a budget so things like that matter a lot. I too worried about what if it fails in the future, outside of warranty and that made up my mind. If I had money to blow I would get it though. Great topic man!

505 enthusiast 26k. I broke a carrier bearing and had some radio issues.

Yes they go up and down a lot

Clayton Yates alrighty it’s cus I’m 5’4 and I was wondering if I could make it taller Thank you !

REDZONE thanks man you're awesome!

Clayton Yates

I want to understand and tried but sorry I don't get it. What's bloody roots?

elitist m umm where is a picture of any 5th gen?

In the driver information center, the screen in the gauge cluster. If you open the door it shows a pic of a 5th gen.

Well there was no 5th gen ever in any shot so idk what you're talking about. What is the time in video, I'm curious now

right around the 7 min mark, when you open the door (in every 6th gen) there is a display of a camaro in the gauge cluster. It looks like a 5th gen... Im not bashng the car as I own one as well. It just looks strange to me

I noticed that on my 2018 RS. I was thinking WTH? Lol

g0nzal3s 1. Cause I don't have OCD. 2. What's roots got to do with anything?

5:26 on your video

JC Ramirez financed or what?

I'm currently 19 and i really want to get the 6th gen 2ss But i have so many questions!

JC Ramirez got mine at 17

JC Ramirez I wish you Dad will be mine 🌶

@@stunna_CODM You didn't get it if someone else bought it for you and you don't own jack if the bank has the title

Yeah - that was a deal breaker for me as a daily driver

I tripped off the visibility on the test drive only. I got used to it really fast and it is not an issue. I have an 18 1SS 1le and love everything about it. By far the best car I have ever had!

And it is my daily driver

Lol sorry I asked before I watched the whole video. Great review and awesome car

Dmeech100 none for me yet and I live on a very bumpy road. my wife's 16 ford escape rattles on some of the bumps. the camaro is a stiff chassis car and very solid feeling over bumps and pot holes. very German car like in that regard

Brian Rainwater that's any new car and that's actually really good. new cars are not investments. have to pay to play imaige how bmw owners feel.

Clayton Yates Actually thats not correct only these cheap built cars lose value that fast, And what do mean a car isnt an investment, anything can be an investment, even if it loses initial value. theres trade value ect... do you believe that a z06 vette loses that much value in two years. I think not. pay to play? really there cheap cost and build is why they lose value so fast. ive owned chevys my whole life but never have i seen a loss in value at these levels prior to 2008.

Brian Rainwater a z06 loses more value, look at the numbers. it's your car man. not sure you understand the numbers cause you are saying the complete opposite of what I've seen throughout the years. I've been buying and selling cars my whole life and if your 14 v6 is worth what you said that is way more than I would expect. most vehicles lose 50% of value in 5 years so your camaro by 2018 if bought in 13 should be worth half or less than purchase price. so it's on track and doing better if the numbers you say are correct. all new vehicles lose like crazy. if losing money is your investments then....

any problems with the car in the time?

Roberto Alire audio issues with the mic

corey blacksher That's not something to be proud of...

It actually is so you're telling me you would rather have a car that is not durable and does what it's supposed to do and be broken by this point in time with this mileage on it your comment is completely irrelevant

corey blacksher I have a fully loaded scatpack bought on may (memorial day to be more precise) and barely reached 5000 miles last week. I'm not bashing camaro or your choice of car I'm just stating that it's not the smartest decision to bump up your driven milage given its a brand new car. Assuming you aren't that financially solvent since our cars dont reach the 50k mark, you should really start caring more about your car. & before you rant about having loads of money, your current car selection invalidates that arguement.

You obviously do not realize cars are made to be driven made to be Museum pieces I think you're just a little upset because you didn't have the extra money to get you a quality car so instead you just went and bought a boat so you're mad and place what it sounds like to me because I give it to you no Scat Pack will beat this Camaro and I've ran them

corey blacksher yea not quite buddy, my car is more expensive than yours, your interior is complete crap. I bought my car cause I have a kid and camaros don't have any real back seats. & finally yea I bet you have beat scatpack challengers, so have I you win some you lose some I upgraded my tires and my brother's 2SS has a hard time keeping up. so be quiet kid you don't know shit about cars. mine will go strong into the 100k miles while yours will probably be on a salvage auction.

Kjraider2009 must be the light.
