@@josephrusso-ht2ev One little flaw that every 6th gen Camaro has is the door that directs air to the floor/vents/ defroster. It doesn’t form a complete seal, so some heat/air will still come through the vents despite it being set to the defroster, for example. Despite a TSB being sent out about this problem, Chevy still hasn’t been able to fix it. Most likely due to the design of the door itself.
What i love so much about the LT1 is that its an enthusiast car through and through. Its the embodiment of the age of performance cars made for the average working man. Harkening back to the days of the LX Foxbody. I definitely intend on buying one next summer, i have a feeling that these cars are gonna skyrocket in value as time goes on.
I'm not sure my LT1 is going to "skyrocket" in value and I don't care. I didn't buy the car as an investment. I do think it will likely retain value better than the 1LT or 4 cylinder turbo models but I don't think it will ever surpass MSRP. I believe those days are behind us. I do have my eye on the 2.0T models waiting for a deal I can't pass up. I want to build one as a sleeper, ground up with a forged bottom end. Something about squeezing a ton a HP out of a four banger fascinates me.
It's a such a sweet car. For the price, the LT1 shown in this video is a steal! I went the other way and picked up a 2023 1SS 1LE 3 months ago. It's been an awesome experience!
Is the 6.2 l in the LT1 the exact same as the 6.2 l in the 1SS? Really wanted a one SS but all I can get my hands on is a LT1 RS package plus. Was hoping they were the same motors I know it's the same hood
You are the Latino Matt Maran...The pure joy on your face when driving this car is priceless! I'm on my 2nd LT1 manual, only in red. This blue is the best color by far.
Robby I just saw this. Thank you so much! I love driving and reviewing cars immensely. I really hope you stick around for the future reviews and content :)
Mine is a 17' SS 6spd. I bought mine new, most fun car I have owned and I have had 1960s muscle in the mid 70s and 80s. Comfort, reliability , performance and handling in one tight package. Look good too. I had a 5th Gen Camaro before this...great car too. But this one a notch above.
I bought the lt1 last week in sharkskin grey, I had a 2022 mustang gt premium 6 speed. After having both for about a week I sold the mustang, the Camaro is light years better, the steering feel and torque pretty much everywhere is way more fun. The Camaros manual is light years ahead of the crappy 6 speed in the mustang. I miss the fancy interior I had in my mustang but I didn’t buy a sports car for the comfort. The mustang on the top end was definitely faster though.
Yeah for lowend low speed enjoyment camaro is it. Mustang too but it's definitely faster top end and I'm talking like past 120ish. I'd love to make a comparison video on like a drag strip or something
Bought a 2022 SS 1LE with 3100 miles two months ago. Was $46k + tax and title. Car is badass. Love the sound of the engine, handles amazing and looks awesome.
First thing I'll do is get those rims painted to satin black, get the roof and orvms wrapped to gloss black and then it'll look atleast 10 times better.
Had my 2023 lt1 since October and have almost 4K miles. I love it. Mine is black with the RS trim, tech package, and quad tip exhaust. It’s also the 10 speed
I miss my Lt1 loved it I was impressed by the amount of torque it had but health issues and lack of funds I had to let her go but I am happy I got to get her up to 145 what a rush
u can add simple upgrades for some performance enchancment like the active wing from victorracing it looks good provides dowforce and it actually imporves laps
Good overall review. One question - when I ordered an LT1 it was not available with leather, much less the white insert leather. It would have been interesting to see the window sticker on this car to see how it ended up with those seats.
Hey bro, those are seat covers! I think the option for the white inserts is also on the website when you configure your car. Bro thanks for the feedback too.
I have a 2023 Camaro LT1 drop top. I'm not liking the skinnies in the rear what would you recommend? I really enjoy your videos. Stay safe, Brother. GOD Speed and Skinny Pedal down.
You have plenty of options, 275s all the way to 305s maybe even fatter, I’m currently running I’m currently running 285 in the front and 305 on the rear wheels
@@dhanvi.lt1 Sorry, I meant rims, but I was about to say there's no way you fit 305s on the stock ones. Do you know what's the widest I can go with stock rims?
Thanks Cardo! Yeah the future is looking kinda stale, but at least we got to enjoy it. I'm going to keep making videos to preserve as much as possible!
You have a better chance of hitting that 4.3 0-60 with the A10 than the M6. I have a 2022 Gen 6 A10 and I like it more than the 2017 Z51 3LT C7 I traded in for it. I don't have the ambient lighting but I do have every other option you mentioned and then some including Recaro seats. There's very little not to love about the LT1 at the price point. I don't yearn for an SS because the differences are minimal for the higher price asked. Good video, thanks.
I looked at this model in 2023. With decent options it was $48k but still looked to cheap inside. I opted for the 2LT v6 with shock and steel package fully loaded for $43k. To me, a stripper v8 isnt worth $5k or more than a loaded v6.
Hey man, I just added the link in that section of the video! It's a card where you can check it out! Let me know if you find it. Thanks for pointing it out.
@@gvaspirated I found it thank you I’m def going that route with the seats they look amazing. Thanks for sharing the seat company info too. You guys are funny AF in that seat video btw…so the Camaro is your boys and he let you beat the piss out of it in the review video?? 😂🤣 Love it man keep em coming I subscribed and liked of course 👍
Who evers car this is in the video, thank them for getting a license plate that donates to navy/marine famiies. And no that is nit a veteran plate. If it was, it would say veterran on it. This plate anyone can get.
Can you comment on what you feel are the must have options? I test drove a 2018 1SS today and liked almost everything except the seatback did not recline as much as I would like. It felt too upright for me, any way to fix that issue? Just want a base LT1 with very few options, rapid blue, dual exhaust.
Hmmmm honestly I wouldn’t know since I haven’t driven the SS but I’ve driven the 1le and it’s significantly better. I’m guessing the 1ss is probably better since they have two brembos
As a life long Gear-head : A little advice: Stick to the track ; as anything 25 MPH over the speed limit in most States - is a Felony and vehicle will be towed and compounded !
@georgehill7881 Yet the title of felony was origanlly intended for rapist and murderers. Thanks to our politicians they expanded that title to crime against the state. But we live in a free country right?
Does the Camaro LT1 6 speed get a tremec or is a worse transmission kinda like the base mustang GT has with the getrag and only tremec on the higher trims?
Oh man, two very different but exciting cars! I'd say if it's your first time the BRZ. But the Camaro is one of those cars that you could truly learn and tame quickly. Both of these cars are daily drivable, IN FACT, I did a video on daily driving an FRS for a week (I know it's not as great as the new BRZ). What I will say is the BRZ is a car where you can literally DOG and it will not be utterly dangerous to drive necessarily. Maybe i should make a video hahah
Hi friend, I have a question! how tall are you? I'm 6' 4". I have two not so big kids, will I be able to put them in the backseats for short trips when I need to? we have a 7 sears car in the family, but sometimes I have to pick them up from school or something. I was looking at the new mustang, I already know the interior space, not the Camaro, but between paying $42k for a premium ecoboost or $42k for a Camaro v8, I think I'll go with the Camaro!
Hey man! I'm 6'2. I'd anyone over 5'8 is going to have a hard time back there especially with someone as tall as us driving. You definitely would need to move up a bit. If it's only like 1 kid in the back and the other up front, it's not as bad. The Premium eco boost will have pretty much all options but man the V8 feel is something else. If you have the time, take the kids to a dealership on a Saturday and sit in a Camaro (any model is fine) to test out the space situation.
@@gvaspirated hey thanks for answering. I will do that soon. Today I live in Minnesota in a small town that doesn't have a Chevrolet lol. But I'm moving to Tennessee in early June and I really don't want the kids to have to squeeze into the backseat for a few minutes a day lol
The LT1 does NOT get enough love. I catch hell, occasionally, for making content about my LT1 because it's not an SS or ZL1. They call it a base model. They just don't know.
Its a great way to drive like an asshole for cheap. I might be making my 2SS the wifes care and grab an LT1 just to save money based on the MILEAGE i put on.
