Will Chevrolet Discontinue The Camaro - Damino Media

GM Just Threw Away the Chevy Camaro

Scotty Kilmer:

rev up your engines, GM says that the six
generations Chevy Camaro z/28 program
has been cancelled all right now for the
car guys out there that are the muscle
cars
there have been rumors going around that
they're not going to be making the
Camaros in the future they don't have
any particular plans that they have
set in stone with it there's even some
rumors that they're gonna make an
all electric cars which may be what
they're going to do they're canceling a
sixth generation I'm assuming that they
are gonna stop making Camaros they
stopped making the things a few years
back and then they brought them back
again they had a bunch of quality
control with the ones they were making
in Quebec and so then they just stopped
making them entirely I mean those are
terrible machines in the end I had them
where the wiring harnesses would go out
to transmissions and blow up and they
brought them back again I who knows
maybe they'll just eventually have them
only as an electric car and shelving the
production of any sixth generation
Camaro kind of tells me they yeah
they're maybe they're thinking about
making the mental electric cars only
time will tell her that but you're
obviously thinking about getting rid of
Camaro is a muscle car by not producing
these, ash says hey my wife has
an old ML 320 it's forty eight thousand
mile keep it and driving myself for
selling wife wants a new car
forty-eight thousand miles isn't much if
you haven't had problems with it it
hasn't been wrecked flooded or stolen
you might as well keep it you said it's
an old one if it's an old one it has
virtually no value nobody wants to buy
an old Mercedes the resale value was
cramped but with 48,000 miles generally
don't fall apart until they are over
100,000 miles so what the heck you got
it why not use it for your car and then
get your wife another car obviously
you'll put that many miles on the cars
it still could last a while cuz you
getting nothing selling if it works okay
now what the heck I personally wouldn't
buy one but you already have it so you
might as well driving around you'll get
much for it if you try selling it, Bologna is
there any way to buy nitrogen to fill
your tires yeah oh that's kind of an
interesting subject matter realize that
Earth's atmosphere is already something
like eighty percent nitrogen dress is
about 20 percent oxygen some trace
elements but
about 80% nitrogen already so what
difference does it really make if you
have a 100% nitrogen you tires or 80%
for years people tried to sell me as a
mechanic at my shop systems that purify
the nitrogen in our atmosphere and turn it
into almost a hundred percent
nitrogen and filling the tires with
because theoretically it doesn't oxidize
inside and the temperatures don't affect
it that much when they change hot or
cold or they do use nitrogen I believe
in like the jet airplanes because
they're up at 50,000 feet and it gets
really cold there and the pressure the
tires would keep going up and down for
them and it makes sense but you're not
driving your car at 50,000 feet out
there so you know if you can find a
place that sells the stuff go right
ahead but far as I'm concerned you're
mainly wasting your money on that stuff
for a car that you're driving every day
nobody's approached me in the last year
trying to sell me one of these stupid
nitrogen systems and it cost thousands
of dollars so so if anybody has one
they're gonna charge your pretty penny
to fill up your tires cause hey they had
to pay a bunch of money for the stupid
machine
Daniel pina says hey Scotty is the 2007
f-150 a reliable vehicle these days
yeah the previous owner took care of it
2007 f-150 is pretty reliable vehicle
they're much better with the v8 sixes meh
any vehicle if you're talking about
buying a used one have a mechanic like
me check it out before you show your
money out cuz you don't know something's
wrecked flooded stolen there's all kinds
of things you can go around and with our
fancy machines we can tell I spend about
an hour checking out used cars I just
checked out a used car for a guy this
morning you know it's a fourth of July, I
forgot
he made an appointment so I got up
there anyways they can't be great good
cars but you want to make sure there
isn't a problem in it in the first place
cuz you're not gonna get a guarantee
demon says Scotty I got a
2005 Chrysler Sebring Convertible with
eighty two thousand miles my first car
any thoughts baby that thing that was a
big lemon Mobil that they made the v6
engines those things were terrible it's
still running it's 82 thousand miles
let's say it runs and it shifts good now
baby it you got it it's a convertible a
lot of times people think of verticals
are worth money but convertibles aren't
because everybody knows there were
terrible cars but you gotta take care of
a change the oil every 3,000 miles don't
overheat the engine don't race it don't
peel off
pretend you're a little old lady driving
that car and maybe the last one I got
some little old lady
drive them and they're still going okay
because they drive slow but all the men
that I knew that drove them hard they
all burn out either the engine or the
transmission or both, so if you never
want to miss another one of my new car

The 2019 Chevrolet Camaro Is a Horrible Mistake | Carguments

Jalopnik:

Fix your sweater, you've got
your undershirt poking out.
Oh my god.
–Yeah, we can start over.
Edit that out.
Yeah, edit that out.
Hello, and welcome again to “Carguments.”
The show where we argue about—
We're not arguing, we are carguing.
–We're cargu—
We are carguing.
–Where we cargue about the cars.
Yes.
–What we do here, on “Carguments.”
Yes.
I am Patrick George.
This is my horrible car son, Mike Ballaban.
We have bad news.
One of the best sports cars,
the Chevrolet Camaro—
We have good news:
It looks good!
–They unveiled a new
one this week, and it—
–It looks fine.
–It looks tragic, it looks tragic.
–It looks fiiiine.
–They really messed it up.
I believe
the new face of the Chevrolet
Camaro is a horrible mistake.
My colleague Mike Ballaban
thinks everything's fine.
OK, granted,
I'm not gonna tell you it's the
best-looking car of all time.
The best-looking car of all time,
we all agree, is the Saleen S7.
However, what is wrong with that?
It looks like a car.
It's just a car.
It's all grille.
It's all grille now.
They just cut off the front
of the old Camaro,
–This is not all grille!
and put this flat-faced—
–No.
With these tiny little—
–No.
headlamp slits, and it's all grille.
–No, OK, first of all,
the last one had tiny
little headlamp slits then.
They're even tinier now!
–I didn’t hear you complaining.
But second of all, every car’s
got a big grille face now.
–That's the problem!
That's a bad thing!
Toyota Camry's got
a big grille face,
Audi's have a big grille face,
they all have big grille faces.
What's wrong with this
big ol' grille face?
Well, if everyone was—
all your friends were doing DMT
and jumping off the bridge,
would you go do it too?
Just ’cause everyone’s doing something
doesn't make it right, Mike.
I mean, DMT does sound
kinda nice right now.
Ah, it is—it is Friday.
It would make a lot
of the cars look better,
but not the Chevy Camaro,
'cause it looks fine already.
I have issues with this car.
I think that they went
overboard with the grille.
They've taken the grille,
which is supposed to be part
of the front of the car,
and made it the whole thing.
It's all honeycomb,
it's all black plastic.
And I don't know if this is just 'cause
these newer turbocharged
engines just need so much air
to stay cool all the time.
And it's like the whole thing
just has to be a hole.
You're missing the point.
The Camaro used to be a
muscla car, or a muscle car
as some people pronounce it,
but they're wrong.
It is now a sports car, right?
Muscle cars were meant for the drag strip.
You would have one shot.
It would be like, “Ah!”—done.
Right?
But now they're going on tracks,
they're under sustained loads
for long periods of time.
You need cooling.
And how do you tell everybody
that your car is fast and needs cooling?
More grille.
This is an advertisement to the world:
“Look how fast I am.”
And even better, even better!
This signifies you that you just might be
in a four-cylinder 1LE.
Which—we used to think
the V-6 1LE was probably
the best Camaro there was,
but no, now it's the four-cylinder
because less power is always better.
–That's the thing about
the Gen 6 Camaro—
it's actually excellent.
It's one of the world's
best performance cars,
at any level.
So you've conceded
already, it's excellent!
Good, done.
Until they ruined the looks of it.
I’ll tell you what happened here.
–It looks fine!
I'll tell you what happened here.
So the new Gen 6 Camaro,
the one that came out a couple years ago,
looks the same as the
old Camaro, the Gen 5.
It's completely new under the skin.
New platform, new engines, new everything.
They tried to make it look different,
and then all the Camaro focus
group Camaro boys were like,
“Nah, it's gotta look the same,
it's gotta look low slung,
gotta look like Bumblebee, yeah,
gotta build the same.”
–The best part about that is, apparently,
so I don't know if you
remember, fifth-gen Camaro?
Impossible to see out of.
–Impossible to see out of.
–It was a danger!
And GM was like, “Don't
you want more visibility?"
And they were like, “Hell naw.”
And they made a very
fundamental and fatal
mistake when they did this.
It's because when
Americans buy new cars,
they want it to look
like a new car.
They want their neighbor
Tom to see the car and be like,
“Well, damn! That sure is
a nice new car you've got.”
And if Tom doesn't say that,
why did you drop 40 grand on a car?
So they're like, “Holy crap,
we gotta do something different,
make it look different,
do something, anything,
make it look different
than the old car."
And that's what they came up with.
They gave it to some intern one weekend,
and he just cut the whole nose off,
and they were like,”Send it.”
No, I mean, Americans
don't want new cars.
They still want—did you
miss the entire period
from, say, 1998 up until yesterday?
When all they wanted was retro cars?
Do you remember the PT Cruiser?
That was like a handful of cars!
And the Ford GT, which everyone
said, “Oh, it looks so great,”
but Ford really just
took some tracing paper
and just made the GT 40 again.
Yeah, the Ford GT's terrible.
It's just terrible, Mike.
–But that's what I'm saying!
People don't want new
cars, they want old cars.
Sometimes I pray a
meteor will hit the world,
so that we don't have to hear
your bad opinions anymore.
This is a great marriage of
old and new, much like myself.
And therefore, it's good.
It's a good-looking car.
You're welcome.
Thank you for watching “Carguments.”

come to your computer

The Future of Chevy Camaros

Scotty Kilmer:

welcome to wacky Wednesday's, where
everyone has a chance to show off their
car mods, and here's this week's winner
this is my 2018 Camaro SS, this car
either takes me to work or to the drag
strip and I'm currently in the drag strip,
if you want to see more of my races
please subscribe to my channel,
it's right there, this is a 1 SS package
but I do have the active mode exhaust,
I have Brembo brakes with 20-inch wheels
a staggered set which means the rear are
wider than the front, let me show you
what's under hood, and black cars man
they're so hard to keep clean
the hood vents are functional which is
nice, and voila
a 6.2 liter LT1 455 horsepower
this car has apple carplay, android auto
it's an 8-speed automatic transmission,
with paddle shifters, I rarely use them
there's a lag factor I don't like, let's start
it up, not all the
gauges are digital at least 10 years for
now something breaks I can see how fast
I'm going
and you can toggle through a few apps
and performance settings and whatnot
lateral acceleration, zero to sixty
timers
I disable a few of them, I never really
use them but there cool to have, another
cool feature is you have different
display settings, there's 3 of them
and I do it every month or so and it
feels like a drive a different car it's
kind of neat, here's the other one that I
like, it;s neat I really like that
feature, anyways I said previously
mentioned this car is equipped with the
active mode exhaust which through the infotainment
you can make your car quieter
or louder, I live in a condo complex and
my neighbors would hate me if my car
was constantly loud,
I really like this feature
or you can sync it to your drive mode
and it will change based on your driving
mode, on tour it's quieter and sported
track gets louder, it's a must have on a
loud car, the vents are kind of
neat here are the controls for
the temperature and air flow
anyways let's see how this car sounds
again this car is my favorite driver
it's got about 10,000 miles so far and I
race it a lot,
I believe the six gen Camaro is an
amazing performance bargain, thank you
all for spending a few minutes to check
out my car and thank you Scotty for
having me in your channel I'm a huge fan
and everyone remember to race the track
not on the street and thank you here's a
few more clips
well that was this week's video and to
have your car mods shown on my channel
here check this out, so if you never want
to miss another one of my new car repair
videos remember to ring that Bell!

2019 Chevy Camaro SS: FULL REVIEW + DRIVE | The Camaro Transformed!

Car Confections:

What's going on everybody?
The Camaro is an American icon
And this generation particularly has been receiving rave reviews since it debuted in
2016 but now it's three years later and Chevy wanted to freshen things up. So it's making a Transformers inspired
transformation
Of course
we wanted to specially thank our friends at Sutherland Chevrolet for providing us with this fully loaded Camaro SS and
If you're in the market for any new Chevy, be sure to pay their dealership a visit or check them out via their website
Which we provided a link to in the video description
So with the Mustang recently gaining some ground over the Camaro sales wise, let's see if this refresh will change the tide
Alright so let's go ahead and address the elephant in the room right off the bat this grille
Now in pictures, I will say that it's less than flattered
But in person it does look much better
Especially when paired with a dark exterior color like this Riverside blue metallic
Non SS models also have a more traditional grille if you want to go that route
But anyways with that out of the way the headlights have also been redesigned
They are now fully LED on all grades of the Camaro and the previous accent light has been expanded to flow into the grille
Below that there is another LED accent and then on top SS models get a special hood bit
There hasn't been any changes to the side but the back did get some subtle refinements
The main thing is that the taillights have been separated again just like they used to be from the 2010 to 2013 models
They of course are fully LED and they have a really neat look with both amber and clear elements
SS models also have the really large spoiler. But thankfully my favorite part has not been changed
And that is the quad stainless-steel exhaust outlets pumping out that wonderful v8 burble
But overall despite some initial
Misgivings, the refresh Camaro is still a nice looking vehicle with a lot of lighting upgrades over last year
Now one of the other SS perks are standard 20-inch wheels
These are the included wheels, but there are at least nine of their options
Ranging from only $200 all the way up to three grand
and
four breaks
13.6 inch for piston bimbos are included up front and
13.3 inch ones in the rear
Moving to the mirrors you have to get this 2SS to have goodies
Like heating auto dimming and blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert
Now we still don't have any other active safety features, but for 2019 we do now have forward collision warning on the 2 SS
Just be aware that Mustang does offer a full active safety package
The last thing to look at is the very generously sized 19 gallon fuel tank
Obviously fuel economy isn't great. But the big tank does still allow you to get 380 miles of range
Chevy does recommend using premium fuel in the v8
So that's it for the redesign exterior, so now let's go ahead and get inside and see what they've done in there
So every Camaro does come standard with Chevy smart entry system
And you will also find a standard remote start system. As long as you choose the automatic transmission. I
Like pretty much all GM vehicles, there's not a sensor behind the handle so you just press this button to unlock
And
Then looking inside the cabin you'll see there's not a great deal of changes for 2019 here definitely a lot less than on the outside
But the cabinet here is already a very very nice place to be now as far as the interior materials and color schemes
They also have not changed for 2019
So your base SS continues to come with black or gray cloth seating and then going out to the 2 SS gets you leather in
black gray
adrenalin red
Kalahari or my personal favorite the ceramic color was very classy looking
And then turning over here to your door trim that same nice look continues over here
So you've got more of that ceramic leather on the armrest here, which looks really good
Although it might be a little bit hard to keep clean
we've got even more leather up here as well as down here and then you've got a real piece of
Aluminum that goes around through here with your accent lighting integrated into it
As far as your windows, there are one touch automatic up and down and you also find two person memory seating on the two SS
As far as the seat it is an eight-way power adjusting but you are lacking lumbar support
And then like I was saying the seats they have a really excellent look and they also feel really high-quality
with nice bolstering nice accent stitching as well as your SS branding and
You can get a Recaro seat if you prefer something a little bit more aggressive
So, like I said at first glance around the cab and you won't notice any big changes from last year
However, there are some little details hidden around the cabin
Now one of the things that has not changed were the materials which were already excellent
So across the top of the dash you do have a heart touch plastic as expected
But once you move down to your lower area, so you've got a leatherette trim with color contrast stitching going
down even further
You've got some more leatherette where you need my touch as well as on the armrest portion and everything does fit together
Really really solidly and feels well built
And standard on all Camaros you do have push-button start
When you turn it on you will see an 8-inch display fire up on all of the SS models
versus the seven-inch display that's standard on your v6 and turbo for
But of course that right there is why you buy a SS
Now another nice benefit of going for the SS is that it comes standard with this
Upgraded gauge cluster with the large 8 inch display in the middle
Now for those of you have been watching this channel for a while
You know that I really like these GM gauges because they have a lot of functions and a lot of customized ability
On the Camaro. It's no different. You've got all the standard functions. Plus you've got this performance tab
This gives you a bunch of different information
Regarding your oil temperature pressure
voltage transmission fluid tire temperature a lot of useful things for performance situations
And then additionally you still get your standard fare options where you can change things like the theme
So you can switch over and go into technology mode. For example
And give a kind of a more high-tech look
To go along with that with that, on the 2SS you're gonna have a heads up this way
Now this also is customizable and adjustable you just press this info tab and switch to your miles
Per hour radio functions navigation and various other things or you can leave it here
Which is the probably the coolest one shows your rpms as well as the G reading so that's pretty cool
And then coming back here to the steering wheel
Thankfully Chevy did not change anything here because this is already a really lovely steering wheel. We've got a nice flat bottom design
contrast
contrasting and perforated leather stitching
And it just feels really really great in the hand
Now as far as your buttons, you've got your cruise control as well as your heating and then on this side
You've got your controls for that display as well as your typical phone and voice commands and below. You've got some radio controls
Back behind the shifter you will find paddle shifters
If you get the automatic transmission, of course and then the wheel itself is manually tilt and telescoping
I know this is not your main concern when you get a muscle-car, but let's talk about the storage
It's actually decent
If you have a pretty large for muscle car center console
So I've got enough space you can fit a phone or something else small
You've got your two USB ports and an aux jack right there
Confirm that you've got your two cupholders
As well as a 12 volt outlet
And then you can maybe put something up here as well. Although it's not really designed to hold anything
So for a muscle car believe it or not this pretty decent
Now, of course we do have the automatic transmission this is optional on the SS
So just like any automatic you pull back to drive and pop over to the left to select your gears manually or via
those paddle shifters
When you go into reverse a backup camera is standard
It does have active trajectory as well. And I think the resolution has been upgraded this year
It looks a little bit nicer than what I remember looking like last year
And then of course there is an electronic parking brake as well
I like you to expect from any good muscle car. You've got a host of different drive modes to select from
Now what it's been in so far during this review has been tour mode
However, you can go down into sport and that immediately even here at Idol you can immediately tell that the engine no changes everything gets
more aggressive
Then you can go into basically a full manual mode where everything is off for track use and
Then you get a snow and ice mode just to kind of help you try to navigate
different situations if you try to use this as a Four Seasons vehicle like some people do
And then this button defeats, of course your traction control
Alright, so now let's talk about the unique climate controls
These are dual zone automatic on the two SS
And of course what's unique about them is you've probably seen on previous Camaro reviews is that you adjust the temperature by twisting around?
the vent and you
Can see that temperature show up right there. I
Really like this, I think it looks excellent
and it's easy to use easy to understand the only drawback I can come up with is that
Say you have it. I had in our really high temperature like I didn't which was high 90 degrees
You kind of have to stick your hand into the belly of the beast
so to speak and burn it up a little bit to make that adjustment, but overall I think is really sleek looking and I
Like it a lot
Now also on the 2 SS you've got three-stage heated seats as well as three stage ventilated seats
Also on the two SS you've got the upgraded audio system
So let's go ahead and take a listen to the Bose 9 speaker sound system
Overall sound quality is excellent, especially for such a small cabin
That brings us to our first
2019 change or the most significant that is
Which is our upgraded Chevy LT man free system. So let's go ahead and take a quick look around this system
As you can see this has got the upgraded graphics as well as the upgrade of processing and everything in the backend
So you've got your homepage. You've also got some shortcuts along to the bottom and a home button as well as physical one below it
Now you can click on any of these sections to expand them
so for instance
We can click on our navigation which is a $500 option as you can see it loads up Chevy's latest navigation
graphic graphic quality here and performance is excellent much improved and this map doesn't even include things like your
Map tilt which is a pretty cool feature
Heading back here to our applications
You've course got your standard audio controls where you can play and pause through your standard bluetooth
As well as your other audio sources and then your presets across the top
And do I want to mention your phone
That's your keypad as well your contacts which are automatically sync over and there are awesome. That's text message support as well
Like every Chevy product you have a standard Wi-Fi hotspot powered by OnStar and
You do have standard Android auto and apple carplay
So you do have the ability to have navigation through Google or Apple Maps without having to pay that extra charge for the integrated navigation
if you don't want to
Now one of the other nice 20:19 changes is that your accent lighting has been upgraded further that already was super customizable
And really nice set up before but now you've got these split blended color rows
so as you can see, you've got your solid colors and
of course that takes the whole strip and make some one color, but if you go into one of these blended modes, so we'll do
this one right here as
you can see now our
Top part of the accent is a different than our bottom part
So it gives it a really unique look and you just have a ton of different options available here to choose from
But anyways, that's pretty much it for the Chevy infotainment system 3
However, we will have a more detailed tech help video available
For those of you who want to learn more a link said that is provided in the video description
Heading on up here to the mirror initially this does look the same as last year. However, it is actually not
Look this switch and you've now got GM's
rear vision camera system
Now you think do I really need this for a car so small since it's typically in trucks and SUVs
But as many of you know, the Camaro struggles with rear visibility and nothing has changed in 2019 in that regard
So the back window is still very small and you can still see very little out of it
So this definitely helps and cuts out all the obstructions
Integrated within this you do also have your home link universal remotes and
Then above it you get your OnStar buttons as well as LED light
This particular model does not have a moonroof. However, it is optional if you want one
But overall the small refinements that Chevy is made for 2019 simply make this an even better place to spend time
this is a cabin that feels everyday livable even though this is a performance vehicle and
Honestly, I just don't have any complaints about it. It's luxurious
It feels pretty spacious and so long as you can get past, you know, compromise visibility and stuff like that
This is definitely a car that you can be comfortable with living with on a day to day basis
Now we'll go ahead and hop outside here and let Mason check out the rest of me
All right, so getting in the back seats of the Camaro is pretty easy
So you just fold this seat back forward and then slide it with the power seat
Now once you do you won't have an entryway into the rear seats
now, of course
These are pretty cramped as with any muscle car and their technical
Measurement comes in at twenty nine point nine inches of legroom and thirty three point four inches of headroom
That does make it pretty much class competitive. Now, you will notice you have to climb over the seat belt. So just pull it down
Then you can climb right in
Now my first impression back here is actually a pretty good one now the seat is scooted all the way forward
So this is obviously more like room than the average adult would have
But I'm actually really comfortable these seats are buckets in the back still made that two-tone beautiful design and they're actually really comfortable
Here in the middle. You have another two-tone black leather here as was a little storage tray
And then off to your right you do have an armrest though. It is not padded
But overall
You don't really expect much out of these rear seats and Headroom is lacking of course and as well as you know
really like room but
This is not really that bad of a place that's really competitive with the class. And I really like that the seats are comfortable
Now to get out just go ahead and fold that up push it forward and climb right up
Getting around to the trunk, all you have to do is locate the button under the lid and it will pop right open
Now inside this is one of the spaces where the Camaro is smaller than the Mustang so you're going to find
9.1 cubic feet for the coupe model dropping down to 7.3 cubic feet for the convertible now
Like I said, that is smaller than the Mustang since it has 13.5 cubic feet
However, this is actually pretty big it goes back quite a ways and it does look pretty deep to me
You could probably fit quite a bit of stuff back here. Maybe a couple weekend backs and
The opening is pretty good-sized
Now, of course the passenger seat is that beautiful design with SS branding
In this model, it is two-ton as well as six-way power adjusting on all SS
I'm really pleasantly surprised with the materials in front the passenger since you do have a leather area up here
close up at a dashboard and
Down below that you do have a good sized glove box opens quite a ways
And above that you do have a Sun Visor with integrated mirror and lights that gently fade in
And it does also detach an extent
Well guys that sums up all the boring stuff
So now let's go ahead and get to the real reason you buy an SS the powertrain
So like we've already talked about this refresh is mostly cosmetic
However, there have been some adjustments to the powertrain still as far as the main part of the powering the engine it is unchanged
So we still have the lt1
6.2 liter v8
putting out
455 horsepower and
455 pound-feet of torque and
That's good for a 0-60 under 4 seconds, which is just about in line with that of the Corvette
What's different this year is that you've got a 10 speed
automatic transmission to replace the 8-speed automatic if you choose to go that route or
You still have the six-speed manual if you want the more purist experience
Now, of course in a vehicle like this fuel economy is not your biggest concern. However, we do have cylinder deactivation on the v8
So you still get a decent 20 mpg combined
Now believe it or not. This car can go up to 25 combined
If you go for the 2 litre 4-cylinder engine and that's really impressive for a performance vehicle
But anyway, so that sums up our basic
Powertrain information. So let's go ahead and go for a quick test drive
Now of course this is not my car
And it's very cold
Out there ice on the road and the tires are very cold. So it's not gonna be like a super exhilarating
burnout drag race
Donut type of test drive but we will get a little taste of just how nice that engine sounds even at low speeds
I mean, that's really why you buy the SS because you're not driving
you know the
Throttle matted all the time actually most the time you're not going to be because this is just a ton of power
So even when you're just driving casually around town
Whatever, it just sounds fantastic and that to me is just the biggest reason to get the SS
So in case you're wondering this is a fun car even a 25
It's just it's really irresistible
To just a goose that throttle listen to that exhaust note and I you would enjoy this at any speed and
Also, I think the notice is that you capture everyone's attention when you're driving down the street in this thing
It's a captivating blue color and all that noise. It's making everybody will be looking at you
Now, of course we're not gonna have any meaningful impressions for you know handling at the edge or whatever
Because this has capability that there's no way I'm gonna be able to test out
But uh
You know, you can't tell of course the steering is excellent very commutative
Super fast right now. We're in the sport mode. That's what I think most owners would want to stay in just to
make sure you get all the entrance note that you can get all the time and
Keeps that steering and throttle response as sharp as possible
And let's play around the manor moer just a little bit before we return it
Wow
Flip that throttle Wow, just excellent I get home. I'm gonna see why anybody would want to home this car
If this is not something you consider at least considered owning, you know, it's not the most practical type of vehicle
But if you drive this thing you start to make excuses for reasons why you should have it
and
And it's not it's not horrible. No you quality
You know just driving down the street if you put it in the touring mode, it doesn't make a lot of noise
but if you can get past the noise which you know a lot of people like
It's really a comfortable car. It doesn't ride too too rough or anything like that. So
Overall I'm very impressed with all those car drives

2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE Hot Lap! - 2016 Best Driver's Car Contender

MotorTrend Channel:

- [Presenter] What's a Camaro doing here?
You won't be asking
that question if you're
familiar with the sixth generation Camaro,
our 2016 Car of the Year.
More to the point, if you
knew how transformative
the 1-LE package was on the
fifth generation Camaro,
you'd know that the new
1-LE is a real contender
for the title of Best Driver's Car.
The 1-LE package consists
of special tuning
for the magnetic dampers,
six piston Brembo brakes,
Goodyear Eagle Supercar tires
with Camaro-specific rubber compound,
forged alloy wheels, Ricaro seats,
extra oil differential
and transmission coolers,
and of course, a black hood.
Performance is impressive,
tying cars like the
Shelby GT-350R and the BMW
M4-GTS in our handling tests.
That alone makes this
1-LE a steal at $45,000.
But what can it do on the track?
Especially keeping in mind
that the fifth generation
Z-28 lapped Mazda Raceway in one minute,
37.82 seconds?
Have a look.
(engine revving)
(laughing)
You can really hold a
line through the corner
with this thing, what a sweetheart.
(engine revving)
There ya go.
Throttle action is a little
too severe, little too quick.
Woo!
(engine revving)
Parts flyin' around this car.
(engine revving)
This Camaro SS 1-LE is a
terrific car to drive on track.
The engine is a big, V-8, great sounds,
fat torque curve, takes a
while to get to the redline,
I think partially because the
car has really tall gears.
I did a lot of the track in third gear.
Really great to drive on track,
best feature, the front end grip.
All the way through the
corner, I could adjust the car
with the steering.
(engine revving)
The worst issue
is probly that I don't own one.
A little bit of the brake fade,
and the throttle is not as progressive
as I would like.
The 1-LE strikes me as
an incredibly good value
for the performance, the lap time,
and just the all-around
performance automobile
you can get for the price.

2019 Chevrolet Camaro v Ford Mustang Comparison | carsales

carsales.com.au:

[Marton] After 40 years of Falcon versus Commodore,
welcome to the new V8 rear-drive grudge match.
Camaro versus Mustang.
[Bruce] Come on Marty, this one writes itself.
The Mustang is newer, it’s cheaper, it’s
got more gear.
[Marton] Bruce, the Camaro is more exclusive,
it’s got a bigger V8 and it looks the duck’s
guts.
[Bruce] So what are we going to do?
[Marton] Well, one of two things, road or
track?
[Bruce] Well what about both?
[Marton] For once, we agree.
If you’re watching this you’ll know the
latest Mustang is the first global factory
model.
While the Camaro comes to us via HSV which
is converting just 550 examples initially
and that’s why they’re a lot more expensive.
Both are 2018 models but while that means
the Mustang GT is upgraded with a 10-speed
auto and new driver safety aides, the Camaro
misses out on them but matches the Ford for
power and beats it for torque.
At $86,000 plus on-road costs, the Camaro
is almost 20 grand pricier than the Mustang,
but that hasn’t stopped up to 80% of them
being pre-sold.
[Bruce] So Marty, one of the big talking points
about the Camaro is being the local right-hand
drive conversion job by holding special vehicles.
I’ve got to say, I’m pretty impressed.
They’ve done a great job.
It’s almost to OE standard, I reckon.
[Marton] I agree.
You’d be hard pressed to pick at it.
If anything, the Mustang looks more like a
conversion than this because the handbrake
and the volume knob are both on the wrong
side.
[Bruce] Yes, you’re right but I reckon there
are a couple giveaways in the Camaro.
Well, I get the armrest while you get the
cupholders.
You get to put your elbow on the cupholder
which is something that they obviously haven’t
spent the money on.
[Marton] Not ideal.
But something they haven’t been able to
change is the dash, which is plastic.
They’ve left it all right-handed.
It’s plastic.
Something Mustang doesn’t have.
[Bruce] No, Mustang has a higher level of
presentation than this car.
I think the Mustang has an advantage.
It’s got a broader width of capability in
terms of, with those optional MagneRide dampers,
you can go from just toodeling around on them
or wind them up into sport plus mode and you’ve
got a pretty firm riding car.
This car, is just firm all the time.
[Marton] It’s the biggest difference between
them, isn’t it?
This is just tied down, old school.
It’s not compliant like the Mustang.
[Bruce] No, not at all.
No, the Mustang has got an advantage there.
[Marton]It’s the more complete car.
[Bruce] I’ve got to say, I love this Chevy
small-block, it winds and winds, it just pulls
like a train.
[Marton] Enormous mid-range, sounds okay,
only really sounds good up top but the Mustang
sounds good everywhere, doesn’t it?
[Bruce] It does.
And that Mustang, gee, it can even rev so
quickly.
[Marton] And the 10-speed auto, it’s almost
like a dual-clutch isn’t it, compared to
this?
[Bruce] It is so quick and it reacts early.
Braking for a corner, you’re lifting the
throttle and it reads and it goes bang, bang,
two gears.
Whereas the 8-speed in the Chevy, it’s slower.
[Marton] Sure, it’s a bit slower.
It doesn’t always do what you want it to
do.
The Mustang is always in the right gear.
People say it hunts, I disagree.
It’s busy but of course it’s going to
be busy with 10 speeds.
So on the road, these two muscle cars are
pretty evenly matched.
But the bumpier the surface gets, the greater
the Mustang’s advantage.
And it’s also more comfortable to live with.
But as they say in the classics, when the
flag drops, the bull dust stops and the let’s
face it, straight line speed is what these
pony cars are all about.
Despite the Mustang’s dragstrip mode and
the Camaro’s willingness to break traction
even mid-strip, the Chevy was consistently
quicker by about a tenth to a hundredth and
more than two tenths over the quarter-mile.
So just as I suspected, the Camaro is quicker.
[Bruce] Yes, you got me but only by a fifteenth,
Marty.
And I know one thing, I’m going to be more
comfortable than you riding home to Melbourne
today.
[Marton] Well you enjoy that Bruce, because
when I get home, I’ll be the only bloke
in my street with a Camaro.
[Bruce] So you take the Camaro, I’ll take
the Mustang and we’ll agree to disagree.
[Marton] It’s a deal.
Let’s hit the road.

to the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro.
The Chevrolet Camaro offers an optional collision
warning system, which detects an impending
crash through forward mounted sensors and
flashes a bright light and sounds a loud distinctive
tone to warn the driver to brake or maneuver
immediately to avoid a collision.
The Chevrolet Camaro’s optional blind spot
warning system uses digital cameras monitored
by computer to alert the driver to moving
objects in the vehicle’s blind spots where
the side view mirrors don’t reveal them
and to help make backing safer, the Chevrolet
Camaro’s optional cross-path warning system
uses wide-angle radar in the rear bumper to
alert the driver to vehicles approaching from
the side, helping the driver avoid collisions.
To lower fuel costs and make buying fuel easier,
the Chevrolet Camaro uses regular unleaded

2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Model Review | Edmunds

Edmunds:

[MUSIC PLAYING]
CARLOS LAGO: That's the
new Chevy Camaro ZL1,
and in this video we're going to
give you an overview about what
makes it special.
And the quick version is, it's
more than the 650 horsepower
underneath that hood.

You might be surprised to
hear that the coolest parts
about the Camaro
ZL1 are actually
the stuff you can't see.
The exterior doesn't look
dramatically different
than the standard
Camaro SS or RS models.
You can tell the
ZL1 is different
because it has big exhaust pipes
and a ZL1 badge at the back.
But over on the side, as
we get to the profile,
it retains the shape that we
know to love the Camaros by.
The wheels are bigger, they're
20 inches front and rear,
but they're a staggered
fitment, so the front tires
are a little bit
smaller than the rear.
And that gives it a
nice purposeful look.
But it's the stuff
underneath here
that really makes the car
drive as good as it does.
You have magnetic
fluid-filled dampers
that react super quick, more
so than your traditional motor
controlled dampers when you're
making adjustments on the fly.
You have an electronically
controlled limited slip
differential that continually
biases power left or right,
controls it with a
granularity you can't achieve
with a simple mechanical unit.
Up at the front you
see the big differences
that come with the ZL1.
Up on the hood here, of course,
is the badging and the carbon
fiber dome of the hood.
And there's actually
a heat extractor right
through the bottom there.
You can fit your
hand in, we'll show
you the vents in just a second.
But when we were
talking about making
650 horsepower, what we
really had to pay attention to
is cooling.
This is the same engine that's
in the Chevy Corvette Z06.
And in here, you can
tell the front fascia
is dramatically different,
and it's much larger.
And there's all these
gigantic air openings.
And that's because
this needs a lot of air
to go through it
to keep it cool.
You have heat
exchangers here, here,
here, here, there's
inner coolers
underneath the supercharger,
there's another heat exchanger
lying flat.
And all of this is designed
to get as much airflow
through the front of
the vehicle as possible.
I mean even the Chevy Badge,
you can stick your finger right
through it.
These gaping holes
right here, I mean,
you can imagine what happens if
a small animal flies in there.
It's all made in the name of
getting air through this engine
to keep it cool
under heavy use when
you're making all that power.
Now, let's take a
look at that engine.

Feast your eyes on the glory
of a supercharged 6.2 liter
V8 that makes 650 horsepower,
and 650 pound feet of torque.
This is, frankly, a
hell of an engine.
It doesn't rev that
high, 6,500 RPM.
Actually that's pretty
decent for a pushrod V8,
but really the story is
the breadth of that power.
But also consider it's
a fairly compact engine.
And it can be compact because
that supercharger, this guy
right here, isn't as big as the
last generation supercharged V8
that the previous ZL1 used and
the previous Corvette used.
Now and also the nature
of a pushrod motor
is, because it doesn't
have two overhead cams,
there's not a lot of valvetrain
up here, so it can be short.
And that can help
with visibility.
But as you'll see when
we hop inside this car,
the visibility isn't
really quite there.
And we showed you
the heat extractors
that come through here.
They're functional, you can
stick your hand right up
in there.
And the goal of that is to
promote air flow out of here
to keep pulling air through
the front end of the vehicle
to cool it down.
Let's take a look inside.
Well the first
thing you gotta do
when you slip into the interior
of a Camaro ZL1 is fire it up.
So that's how you
set things off right.
Now, couple of things
you have to accept
with the interior
of the Chevy Camaro,
especially this generation.
There is no interior storage.
You have a couple of pockets
on the left and right.
There's some space
in the armrest.
But there's basically
nothing for anything
bigger than a phone.
Even my phone has difficulty
fitting in the center armrest.
Also, rear visibility
comes up short.
It's like looking out
of a cardboard box.
But at least if you
don't want to sit low
you can raise the height up.
And that certainly helps your
view over the hood and just
at a point, there you go.
If you're concerned about
looking forward over the hood,
you can always do that.
OK now we're back
to normal height.
ZL1 specific changes
are few, but are nice.
These seats are Recaros,
they're nice buckets
with good amounts
of lateral support
but they don't
feel uncomfortable.
The material they're
wrapped with,
and especially the stuff
on the steering wheel too,
is this microfiber
suede-like substance.
It's also on the dash.
It looks and feels nice.
This is, of course,
the 10 speed automatic.
And we'll talk about how that
works once we take it out
for a drive.
For now though, it
just looks and works
like a normal
automatic transmission.
Behind it, these
controls here are
what get us into sort of the
electronic sophistication
you'll find in the ZL1.
You have four
different drive modes,
there's tube or track, sport,
and snow and ice modes.
Now those adjust a
variety of settings,
but within those settings
are further adjustments.
For example, when you go
into track like we are now,
you can double tap the
stability control button
and access the performance
traction management function.
Now this is a multi-configurable
stability control setting
that has one, two, three,
four, five different levels
of adjustment.
And you can also turn
everything completely off.
We'll talk about launch
control, too, and a line lock.
This has both those tools which
are great for drag racers.
And it speaks to the
legacy level of intent
that Chevy knows
Camaro owners are
going to use these cars for.
The ZL1 doesn't do any
one thing particularly.
It's not focused on
just doing one job,
it's focused on being
able to do everything.
It wants to ride
comfortably on your commute.
It wants to be able to tackle
a mountain road or a racetrack.
And it wants to
be able to get you
through a night
at the dragstrip.
And all that stuff
comes together nicely
in this package.
Now this display, as we get back
into more traditional Camaro
grievances, this
display looks funky.
It looks like it's tilted in.
Although when you start
using it, you realize
it's super intuitive.
It also supports Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto,
and that's really nice.
In front of you, you
have two analog gauges
and in the center is
a digital display.
That's multi-configurable
and shows
you a lot of really
nice information.
And above that is
a head up display.
As we dive into the
dash, we'll explain
how some of the drag racing
focused technology works.
I'll put the car in
its track setting,
and then I'll turn the
advance stability control
system to sport, for example.
And what you can
do here is you can
define the amount of traction
the surface that you're
driving on has.
So if you're in sport
one or sport two,
it assumes you're
on a street surface.
But if you go up
to race, it assumes
you're on a drag strip that
has a prepared surface, that
has the traction of
a prepared surface.
So it'll actually account
for all that stuff.
When you go into
the launch control,
you can set custom parameters.
There's an automatic
function, but you can also
set manually your target
RPM, your slip target--
and that slip target is
how much the rear tires
rotate versus how fast you go.
Tires like to spin a little bit
faster than you would think.
They like to have a
little bit of slip
to get the best
launch out of them.
And you can actually define
the percentage of slip
that you want the
rear tires to have.
Which is nuts.
And then beneath that
you have a line lock.
And now what a line lock does,
is it holds the front brakes
but allows the rear tires
to spin freely, which
makes a burn out a lot easier.
I'm in the school of thought
that if you have 650 pound
feet, a burnout's
pretty easy to do,
but it's nice that
the feature's there.
And this is a level
of granularity
for a drag racing that I
haven't seen in a production car
outside of the Dodge Demon.
And it's really cool, because
this car, again, is just
sort of an all-arounder.
Now up next we'll show
you what that means
when we drive it on the street.
Driving on the congested
and Toyota Prius
filled streets of LA may
not be the most exciting way
to experience the Camaro
ZL1, but it does give us
the opportunity to illustrate
just how nice this car is
to drive in general.
Sure the ride's firm, sure
you get some road noise,
but it's nothing that would
make this car difficult to live
with.
This 10 speed automatic
transmission, you might think,
wow that's a lot of gears.
I'm going to constantly see
the tack bouncing around
as it shifts.
But you don't.
You barely notice when
the shifts happen.
And the way they've
tuned this transmission
so it can skip gears
when you step on it
makes for a really
nice experience.

What's funny is
when you really see
a gap, when you nail that gas
it's almost as if the car has
night terrors.
Because suddenly it starts
growling out of nowhere
and making all these
noises and screaming.
And then it gets
really silent again.
It gets really quiet.
It just seems to get more
aggressive the more you drive
it in an aggressive manner.
But of course LA
traffic is the worst.
So we're going to go to a
place where we can explore
the abilities of this car.
[MUSIC PLAYING]

There's just so much power.
The performance of this
vehicle is just incredible.
But it's the tractability
that makes it so dominating.
It just feels so good,
feels so much fun.
This is a large, heavy car,
with pretty poor visibility.
But it just comes into its
own in this environment.
It's so much fun.
Modulating the power and
controlling the Camaro,
got to love that sound.
Get a little sideways.
So even though the
stability control is on,
it still gives you
a bit of freedom
with how much
sideways you get when
you dig into that throttle.
And there's so much
power on tap here.
We have 650 horsepower.
I'm getting a
little bit too close
to the limits of the
stability control system.
I'm feeling it grab
me a little bit more.
But what that's doing
is it's telling me
I'm applying too much throttle.
You can use this system
like a driver's tool.
You can lean on it and
use it the wrong way,
and have it try to fix
your sloppy mistakes.
But you can also
pay attention to it,
pay attention to when
it's cutting the power
and how much power
it's giving you,
and you can dial back
your choice accordingly.

Now what's working
in conjunction
there is the stability control
and electronically controlled
limited slip differential.
Which is biasing power
as it deems appropriate,
based on whatever the vehicle
sensors are telling it.
That's really nice.
And we haven't even talked
about the brakes yet.
These brakes provide
very good stopping power
and have a nice long travel.
So you can dig in to it
without using too much force,
and get the right amount
braking force that you want.

I like this car a lot.
Listen to that.
[ENGINE REVVING]

amazing Camaro ZL1.
