2022 Chevy Camaro LT1: Wait...Isn't This Supposed To Be Affordable? 

The si is 30k ??? I thought it was 25k

@@dnegel9546 Nope, they cost 28315 including destination. Currently, they have markups too so pricing will be around 30K maybe more.

@@ayushmalpeddi2793 jeez that's a hard buy.

@@dnegel9546 The worst part isn't even the higher price, its that they removed dual-zone automatic climate control, heated seats, electronically adjustable suspension, and multiple other features. I've completely forgotten and ignored Japanese cars (or JDM) these days. I pretty much only care about Korean ( or KDM) cars these days. They easily offer the best value, warranty, unique designs, and lots of good stuff in recent years.

@@ayushmalpeddi2793 yeah looks so dull too. Myself I'm thinking of getting a Elantra n line or forte gt.

Same here dude I bought my LT1 wild cherry in October

I was surprised when he said V6 is definitely looks like one but then the V6 is look like V8

Personally I think it looks significantly better then the SS.

@@dnegel9546 huhhh

K bud

I can assure you that electric is not nonsense, I personally drive a Camaro 2ss but my wife drives a Tesla model 3, the acceleration is much better on the Tesla but I still prefer my Camaro. Performance based electric cars are miles ahead of gas cars these days, I've driven a Tesla model S Plaid and I was blown away at speed and acceleration on that thing People still have their personal preferences (like I said above I still prefer my Camaro) but electric is far from nonsense

Perfectly said, my thoughts exactly.

And, they perform in all trims. Even Randy Pobst bought one, and he bought the 4 cylinder!

This happened to me at the dealership. The price on the website was $36k, then when I went in and test drove it, the first figure they brought me after was $44k (with tax) due to "dealer-installed equipment" that apparently isn't included in the website price. Stuff like floormats, window tint, green tire caps because they put nitrogen in the tires, door protectors, and some security device that as far as I know doesn't exist. I wasn't having it and was able to negotiate down to the original website $36k price, and drove off the lot paying $39k total after taxes and fees. Despite the shitty dealership experience, I still think it was a bargain. Driving it around is incredible fun. If only premium wasn't $5/gallon right now haha.

How much for the used Camaro?

100% agree. Got my LT1 for $31.8K just before the pandemic. $45K takes the value aspect away from the LT1.

Doesn’t the SS round up to 40k? And 2SS for 45k and 1LE for around 50k? Well with taxes

ive never seen a brand new SS under 40k???

@@Guti518 My local dealer just sold a 2022 1SS manual in rapid blue, MSRP was $39,090.

@@nickr8829 I've been trying to spec out a 1SS but I won't have it without the 1LE package ($7,000). The only options I've added are orange paint ($450) and lighted door protection sills ($410) and it comes to $46,500.

Cool. My 2015 RS Camaro has a SLP Loudmouth 1 exhaust. The best exhaust you can buy for a V6 IMO.

Non-negotiables 💯

Might’ve been different a few months ago but the SS keeps going up in price, a low spec SS is running 48-50k now, especially in 2023 model years which price in increasing by 2k in the SS alone

U get it yet?

I went through the same comparison. I'm trading in my 2013 challenger SXT plus. You need to buy the scat pack to outperform this LT1. I order a convertible LT1 with the leather seats and upgraded screen and speakers. Still cheaper than scat pack, and I just want to have a convertible once in my life.

@@paulh2282 10 speed LT1 will eat an 8 speed scat. You need to move up to a hellcat to outperform this. Even then, this will eat it around corners

@@azimy9388 was just going to say most every race I've seen so far the LT1 beats the scat no problem. And not just by a nose

@@paulh2282 I have a 2020 LT1 and I've beaten Scat Packs regularly. The Scat Pack's weight holds it back, and it doesn't handle nearly as well as the LT1. The only thing I fear is a Hellcat.

@@GearheadK20C4 My dads Charger Scat Widebody has beaten both GT's and LT1's/SS's all day. It all depends on how conscious a driver is lmao. Not to mention his car seats 5.

LX..and they were actually quicker than the GT because they weighed less

Don’t be mad cus you can’t afford those gingerbread interior pieces 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@Mrmudbone_gaming LOL. I'm paying CASH, Wiseguy. All those pretty extras don't make the car any faster.

What SS goes for $65,000 and up

@@samuelgonzalez1891 an SS 1LE.

@@davidszakacs6888 not everyone is 😎 ballin. I get that. I understand bud.

Heat exchangers are in Furnaces…..it’s called a heat EXTRACTOR …..

@@SofaKingQuick bingo!

I don't think they have heated seats lol. They do have remote start on the A10 versions, as well as wireless apple carplay/android auto, power seats, brembo brakes up front, etc.

That’s scary considering I want one next year

CAMARO…………there’s no “E” in there anywhere, sorry, I just see too many fans that spell it wrong, especially when they own one!!

@@69RSCamaro I didn't realize I even did that

Base 2020 1SS is $37,000+ I paid $33,300 plus TT and L came to $35,300 for a LT1 sticker was $36,300.

Why? This car is quicker…

you can get so many options on a LT1 for under $45k when SS starts at $40 by time you add tax and options you will end up at $50k prob $52k

Camaro badge is optional but I think it costs more to put that there

That how much I got mine for. It was 35k but I guess where you live and where you get it from is that much of a difference.

The SS sells for $ 65,000 and up

@@samuelgonzalez1891 uh no that’s a zl1. 1SS starts around 40k. 2SS is like 44k

@@DanielRodriguez-dt9rt I buy only Chevrolet the the Camaro Chevrolet was priced at $65,000 if get a used SS your looking at $45,000 and some Camaro go for $80,000

@@DanielRodriguez-dt9rt come and pick me up we well go to dealer I have 2020 Chevrolet Equinox and going to trade in for Camaro I'm sticker price insane on 45,000 of 40000

Nope, used cars Def ain't cheap anymore as most of them are going for the price of a car NEW off the lot with zero miles so you're correct. What they're charging for the used market is insane, might as well go and spend $3-4,000 more for a brand new car.

There are manual cars in the U.S., automatic transmissions are just more common because people are lazy and imo shifts quicker depending on the transmission unless the manual car has a driver mod.

the liquid kind

I get 19 mpg combined with my manual LT1.

I average 18 MPG around town with my 2020 Mustang GT 5.0 with 460HP and I don't drive like a grandpa. If you are worried about the price of gas, you buy a 4-cylinder econo car. The type of car in this video is a toy, hobby, or a passion; that's how you have to view it.

@@AStanton1966 I could have easily bought and american V* --even looked at a SRT Jeep--but fuel milegae can become a big cost--I am upper middle class--not rolling in money to blow several more thousands of dollars on gas.Also the must ang is the most frugal--the dodges are outright awful on fuel mileage.

The mpg of the Camaro is actually fantastic for what it is, up to 27 mpg highway. With cylinder deactivation and direct injection that could easily make it a daily driver without breaking the bank. How many SUV's on the road are in the same range? As far as AWD is concerned, that would literally ruin the appeal of the car. If you think RWD is dangerous then don't buy it. Most of us buy cars like this specifically looking for high HP and RWD for the thrill of it. If you don't know how to handle it then go buy a Civic. My SS performs exactly how I want it to, even in the rain, and the fact that I can get that performance along with some fantastic MPG for what it is, is a bonus. This car never lets me down when it comes to putting on a smile. If you want to save gas you only have to go light on the go pedal, which sounds easy.

@@LtDan-ni5rw Thats why I mentioned Dodge specifically.Like I said I have owned a few muscle cars in my life and tracked several times.The Stinger is a nice balance of comfort and performance.I also have almost 40k in the bank with what I saved on the Stinger.If I goto the track now--I just pay the extra 1k and get a race/GT car the tracks provide which are usually much faster then any stock cars folks bring.I know how to drive never wrecked 25 years no tickets--but RWD american cars and bimmers are some of the most dangerous on the road to the many untrained folks that buy them.

Manuals are much slower and there is no resale market for a slower car bud…..they don’t make as many for a reason and they absolutely will not appreciate in value vs the A10
