In this video we go over some of the costs involved with owning a 1LE Camaro SS and we also show some more differences between the 1SS 1LE and the 2SS 1LE! #CamaroSS1LE #1SSvs2SS #Savethemanuals #Racecarfriends #chevrolet
SHHEEEEEEIIIITTTTTT!!!! How much?! When my brakes and rotors are done I'm selling lol. Be careful Charles. Almost burnt his hand on those money pits we call rotors. I feel your pain on the tires Charles. But 3 sets? Yikes. I have received lackluster service from American car companies. For anything aside from an oil change that is. Audi, Toyota and Acura had superb service.
@@RaceCarFriends honest opinion tho if you can go back would you get a regular ss or would you still get the 1LE cus i would like a convertible 2SS but the way the 1LE does performance wise and you can get it with a sunroof
@@KnockFire Wow that's a really good question, honestly it would depend on whats available, but if I had to choose right now I'd probably still get the 1LE and swap out the seats for a regular 2SS seats, I wish there was a way to option the car out that way because the 1LE seats aren't that comfortable on a long ride.
Great video brother I love seeing Charles on the channel, we gotta get a race between the both of you at some point 1SS Vs 2SS Automatic Vs Driver Mod Looking forward to more of your content it seems like you're getting better with every video.
What?! 4K for brakes and rotors + labor that’s rape! No way I’m paying that. You better tell people Bluprint will get you together. No way I’m paying that. 1300 + 300 for labor not bad. A good aftermarket product for brakes if your not tracking would be powerstops for pads and rotors and give you less brake dust. That collision warning is scary I experienced that with Q and I don’t like it but this a great video RCF giving people insight on these cars
Thanks brother I been telling all my fellow Camaro guys that they gotta go to Bluprint Academy if they want the right price on parts for these cars lol, and yeah man it's super important to have good brakes on powerful heavy cars like these.
Yo never go to a dealer, they over charge you for gm parts. I changed my own oil, filters and breaks not that hard just takes a little time. Order your own parts from gm! Yw
If something happens to your car with motor or transmission will they cover it? I believe the point of taking it to the dealer is to keep track that you done all your maintenance.
LOL! The cost of maintenance, the fact that performance brakes don’t last as long, and because I never intend to track mine are why I didn’t want the bigger Brembos when I ordered my ‘23. I can’t wait for it to come in.
Make sure to get the SS because you will need the rear view mirror onyour car it helps alot and a automatic 10speed. The only thing I wished I got that I never is the exhaust package with 4 pipes at the end. And the carbon side skirts. But this spring I will put on the side skirts from American muscle
front brake rotors: $1265 rear brake rotors: $320 front brake pads: $206 rear brake pads: $96 labor: $0 (this is something you can do yourself in an afternoon) total: $1887 *all parts were found through a basic google search
Great video! Yes, I hear the replacement of brakes for many if not all performance cars is quite expensive especially through a Dealership. Question for you: I noticed you have a 6 speed manual. How is the shifting as far smoothness & do you regret not getting the 10 speed automatic? I personally feel the manual keeps you more involved in the ride. Just my opinion
Thanks brother I really appreciate it, to be honest I feel like I would have regretted it if I would have gotten the 10 Speed Auto, the manual is super intuitive on this car and extremely rewarding I love it.
You guys in central FL? if you feel a vibration when u brake you need to replace your front rotars, the front rotars always go first back rotars last a long time now labor whole diff story always better if can do it yourself weather its brake pads or rotars but both should last a long time 🤔
they got u brother jesus christ 4k? i got a 2ss i can get a oil change for like 110$ and buy my own brakes and rotors for like 700$ af get it done for like 1200$ all together 🤷🏽♂️
The dealer that gave you the quote should be avoided. You can source front rotors for $400 and up each. I go to Summit Racing for GM OEM pads and rotors. Matter of fact I just received 2 x front rotors (rears are still good) and pads for all four corners for $1.3K... parts only no labor. My local Chevy dealer changes these and performs brake fluid flush for $400 total cost including tax. At this point, I am just over 12K miles and on my 4th set of front rotors and the second set in the rear. I lost count of how many pad changes I've done to date. As for when to change your rotors... when they begin to show tiny cracks you are getting close. If you see cracks that run to the aluminum hat (black centerpiece) it is time to get new front rotors.
Smart, I guess just type it out without putting the link and that should go through, so weird it's almost like Google is purposefully banning your comments.
@@RaceCarFriends I did type it out in my last response. It was there for a few mins and then gone. What is odd is I haven't had any issues with my responses in other threads... just this one. Maybe locate another youtube channel and send it to me and I will post it there?
Bro that is absolutely insane that they’re charging you $4,000+ for brakes and rotors, oil change I change my own oil doesn’t cost much I do my own brakes doesn’t cost much and I have replaced rotors. I put power stop rotors on my Camaro SS and I have not had one problem. I have put power stop rotors on every car I’ve ever owned and I have never had one problem with them. Yes they are not the most expensive, and they might be the lowest But for me they work I race and drive my car like the way it supposed to be driven and I have never had a single problem and I spent $550 with the brake pads included. And everything I just stated all added up together cost me around $600 for everything maybe a little more yes I did my own work, but even if I took it to a shop, there’s no way in hell I’m leaving there without paying more than $1200 match for everything . GM it’s not the place to go unless you literally had brake pads and rotors and oil changes in the contract that you signed when you bought that car. That is the only way I would take my car there.
What are you doing to that thing that it needs brakes AND ROTORS Already!?!? I had almost 13000 miles on my 1LE and zero marks/ grooves on rotors. I did consider changing pads because they are horrible with dusting those nice wheels the 1LE comes with. Two piece rotors are pricey, however, why are they damaged??
@@QueTheChaotic Lol sorry brother no poo on the RCF channel it's not allowed, this is a poop free zone lol I get enough of real poop in my everyday life with the kids!
If you don’t track the car go with a “SS” or “2SS”. I purposely went 2SS because I knew I was not going to track the car. If I did I would rather rent a car and track rather than wear and tear my own vehicle.
Bro they are ripping you bro. Just change the pads bro. You need to check around for someone else to do the job. And how many miles dose your car have at this time?
@@RaceCarFriends when you go to a mechanic they get paid my hours so you can say naw bro some other place can do it for less hours. If they said then go there or why didn’t you went there say “ that was my first place i went I’m looking around just. Or ask he can do it at his house which can be less labor cuz your paying for his and shop. Don’t get no mobile mechanic they charge a lot find a shop or person that can do it at home. Facebook market
