People are constantly comparing what's quicker than this and that. Who gives a fuck about any of that. If you're not taking it to the track it means absolutely nothing. Drive a car that you like.
mclovin'78 I like this information , ppl sometimes mention the 2015-17 charger v6 are slow don't get , a Honda will dust you , like really? We're on a street not track so really can't test out speed unless we're both in front the red light ..
mclovin'78 exactly, always going to be a faster car and unless your going to an actual track it doesn't mean shit lol. You wouldn't believe the feedback I get for driving c63 over m3 lmfao "you can beat me in a straight line but on the corners your smoked" wtf lol who gives a shit
In October I got my 2017 Ford Mustang GT with a Performance Pack for $36k. To think I could have bought a 1LE for $6k more breaks my heart. Don't get me wrong, I love my Mustang but when I drive it my smile isn't as big as when I drive the 2SS. I'll definitely be trading it in when possible.
Put $6k worth of mods into the Mustang and make itbetter than the Camaro and end up with a car that looks way better and has a nicer interior than the Camaro. The 1LE package isn't some magic witchcraft, it's suspension and sticky tires.
my insurance agent told me once that part of the premium, is the likelihood of it getting stolen based on national statistics. I reckon that means a Charger is more likely to get stolen than a camaro.
SRTMUSH most likely the biggest reason is that the charger is a sedan and the Camaro is a two door. Probably more at-fault accidents in the Camaro too.
Selling price is for sure one factore, insured's age, driving record, horsepower, collision repair costs, etc,etc. But I had a Challenger SRT8, and went to a Charger SRT8, same year, and the price went up, thought it would go down by going from a coupe to a sedan. Went from a 2008 SRT8 to a 16 Hellcat, price went down. Agent said one common reason a lot of people arent aware of, is the chances of it being stolen based on national stats. For whatever reason, the Charger was stolen more often than a Challenger. And newer cars are harder to steal with Key Fobs and other security measures in place. Again, this is according to my agent and may not be correct. Just passing along what I was told.
The car community is full of tools man just do you, haters are gonna hate and their are plenty of them in this hobby sadly. The new Camaro's run circles around the competition and you made the right choice.
I can't tell if I'm happy the camaro is no longer a muscle car or sad. I mean I thought the corvette was the sports car for Chevy and the camaro was the muscle car. Chevy has pretty much made it so there is no point to buy a vett anymore. the camaro is fast, has its engine and is cheaper. I'm not sure if it's just my area but I rarely see the new v8 camaros for some reason. although my area the price for any vehicle is high.
the 1LE is manual only.... The 2SS keeps up with the Gt350 on the track. The 1LE surpasses it. Both are Amazing cars though. Can't wait to see the Gt350R face up against the new Z/28 in the future.
Owning a scat pack here and love seeing your balanced reviews.. Glad to see you don't have blind loyalty to a brand. A manufacturer needs to earn their status.
Christian Kaestner I'd be pissed too. They should never molest a new car unless the owner requests the front bracket. And yes the 6th gen ss is a hair quicker in the 1/4 than a scat but on a road course the scat will not compete, especially against a 1LE. My daily is a 16 scat.
jeff grabowski I work at a dodge dealership and I know the scats can't handle like their competitors. The straight line speed is impressive but they really need to shave some weight and put some better tires on the cars stock. If they shaved even 500 pounds the cars would be heaps better
Christian Kaestner agreed, they are great boulevard cruisers, very comfortable touring cars and good at the drag strip. Hopefully the next gen challenger/Cuda? will be smaller, much lighter and nimble. When I park my c6 next to it my vette looks like a go cart, or a 3/4 scale car. The challenger/chargers are huge.
So pretty much just buy a zl1 or hellcat 2 just look at or drive on the weekends? Sorry but I didn't pay 70 grand 2 just look at a car I paid that much 2 drive the shit out of it!! It's a street beast it doesn't want 2 just sit up in the garage...
big Mopar fan here too, definitely would pick this over a stang and 392 charger/challenger. just the handling aspect alone is worth it. until Dodge wants to drop about 600 pounds outta the twins, they won't compete around the curves
Kevin Wollenweber I go to the track, there's more than just drag racing. Autocross events / TrackX events are fun also, and theres one going on almost every weekend even in my rural area.
His insurance isn't that great of a deal if he's under his parents policy. I pay $83 a month for my 16 1SS, with gap insurance and everything. Now that's a deal!
mikexcanxjerk you bet, about $500 every six months. Through Allstate also. We have our home, all the cars, etc, been with them for many years, my record is perfect also so maybe that helps.
Just got me a 2SS Camaro 50th anniversary. Msrp was 47k and got them down to 42k I work for GM so I got a discount for that and Black Friday stuff. Absolutely love it.
congrats brother !! wish you nothing but the best with this !! sucks you're not my purple bro any more lol but as long as you're happy, that's what matters !!
RP Productions I just came from buckalew yesterday and seen barney right up front next to a red vette on the used lot. Let's see if it gets sold locally soon before it goes to auction nation wide. It will usually sit for about 2 weeks to a month if not it's gone.
I can remember the first time that I even had a semi-realistic change of getting one and went out looking at Mustangs. A fully-loaded GT was just north of $13,000 back then. Times have changed!
I had a similar experience with the insurance side of things. I went from a V6 honda accord (2 door) to a camaro SS and the insurance cost was the same. I was stunned (in a good way).
awesome car. I was close on my guess of what you were going to buy. I am a diehard MOPAR fan but I absolutely would have done the same deal. These are without a doubt the best looking cars on the market today. The best part for you is not having to deal with MOPAR electronic issues. My guess is this car will be faster then your SCATPACK once you get the launch figured out. I still can't believe anyone would think you would buy a Mustang instead of this car. Congrats and I can't wait for more videos.
My Dealer installed the frt plate bracket on my 1 SS. I drilled out the two rivets with a 3/16" drill , then filled both holes with small plastic plugs, bought at ACE Hdwe. Then bought one of the Sto N Sho frt plate brackets. THE way to go.
NihselAuto hell no thats shits a lie you only get 2 free services I know that cause I just got a 2018 camaro ss and they were completely honest with me with that
I had my 2017 Chevy Camaro for 2 weeks before it got pummeled with hail! Unfortunately, mine didn't escape unscathed. Over 4K worth of hail damage to the backend of my baby. 😭
Great video man! Just picked up a 2018 1LE for 39k, coming from a 15 Mustang GT. Had 4 stangs and none of them compare to the smile factor of this car. I think I’ll hit 50 miles tomorrow on the odo 😃
I got a ticket when I was 18 but it was not reported to my insurance. What insurance company do you have? I have Geico, they seem to always have the best rates.
you have to shop around, when i turned 25 i didn't get a lower rate. The biggest discount i got came when i purchased my house. i only pay 170 for full coverage on all 4 of my vehicles ,the newest one being my 2016 srt . I am a lot older now though 44
BigRoB I don’t know why he didn’t just save/spend the extra 9k for a ZL1, if you’re gonna pay over 40k for an SS might as well get the ZL1 with super low miles for around 50k
I've never had a sunroof in any of my vehicles! The 1LE option doesn't allow for a sunroof to make the car more rigid and safer in case of a roll-over on track.
I agree with your review and as you can see by my screen name I was a Mopar owner but the Camaro is just an incredible car so I brought one to the 2SS.
congratulations riley!!!. I actually got a black ss 1le on new years eve. It was at $46,335 sticker price. I didnt have ice falling on my car, paint was good, and they didnt drill that hideous license plate holder on my car!!! :D
He never said it was rare. He said the 1LE is "more rare" than the new ZL1. The ZL1 is easier to find than a 1LE. The same was true with the 5th gen 1LE.
A car Guy Yeah it pisses me off how negligent car dealer across the US are in terms of paint. They think its no big deal driving a brand new car through their dirty automated carwash. God forbid you let them detail it before they hand you the keys. I think really high end dealerships like Porsche & Jaguar, etc actually do it the right way.
i have a 2016 v6 rs camaro white with the hood in black gloss and its soooo nice to drive here in Mexico its so easy and gets alot of attention i love it
I have a 2017 ss. My cost went down as well from my Chrysler 200. They said on star saves money, car is the safest in its class, and believe it or not having a parent mode in the car saves you money. Food for thought.
RP, Nice pick for your new car bro !! I have a 15 ZL1 and if I were to get a new 6th Gen Camaro, I would get a 1LE simply because of what you stated...Best Bang for the Buck !!! Congrats !!!
I know exactly how your feel about the front license plate. When I bought my 16 mustang GT I specifically told them to not drill the bumper to the point where my salesman hid the license plate bracket in the trunk. Well.. the service guys found it and I noticed it had been installed right as my salesman was walking me out to the car explaining how he told the service people not to install it.. It was definitely a disappointment because I wanted to install a hidden license plate mount but the car was so much fun I forgot about it pretty quick.
I agree the front plate holder dealer install is ridiculous. I would remove it and find some rubber blank plugs to fill the holes. My dealer was smart enough to not do that with my RT so it is now occupying shelf space and no front holes to fill.
Nice explanation on your choice of the Camaro. I found your channel because of your Charger and the tire selection videos you did for the Charger,. I am a Mopar fan, but that Camaro is a nice looking ride. Your decision making process was well reasoned and more mature than some comments I have seen. Have fun with it!
Have to say, definitely thought you were gonna go with a gt350...so much happier you went with this..looks really nice, love the color. Sad to see you set the mopar life aside.glad to see we didnt lose you to a mustang though...
You made the right decision. I have had my car for 9 months and I love it even more. I'm planning to get as much hp out of it as possible before getting the bottom end built. Good luck and congrats!
If you are looking to making it decent faster but don't want to mess with reliability too much I would say get drag radials,air filter,tune and if the car holds up decent and no issues your first big mod should be a heads and can setup! I've grew up with molar but anyone who would unsub just because you moved to gm is closed minded congrats on the car Riley!
1) the front plate, has to been installed by dealership if required by state, should have called and requested not to install the plate bracket. 2) insurance on the car is based on repairs and the how many accidents on the models, Camaros are tens of thousands which most not all are 6 cylinders. you'll find more wrecked Charges do to police and the Hellcat wrecks driving up insurance costs up. 3) drive what you like. I worked for a Ford Dealership here in Mishawaka Indiana, for 18 years, asked them to locate the car I have now from a auction. after a week went some were else and bought my Chrysler 300c Hemi. looking forward to more video's hopefully I'll get my Challenger Scatpac one day
I had a 300c with a 5.7 hemi, it was a beautiful car, and it sounded really nice with the exhaust I had on it, but I gave me so many problems, almost every week I had to replace something and it was never cheap, I traded it for an 01 ws6 trans am end of summer and it hasn't given me a single problem since, I'm a big GM person now
congrats on the camaro man i like it!i currently drive a challenger 2015 r/t auto.i used to have just a v6 2010 charger as my first car.ill never be in the v6 again lol.i didnt realize how much i enjoy the 2 door over 4 doors too!.i like how open minded you are about it.i like all of these muscle cars myself too.
as an owner of a 2016 mustang v6, the 2016+ camaros are damn sexy and i agree with a lot of people, as long as you love your car, that's the most important thing!!
If you're happy and get the Dodge you like, you can also get a lifetime factory warranty with unlimited mileage. this won't help if you modify a lot which to me means you didn't buy the right car in the first place. My choice was between the 2ss and the Challenger Scat Pack. I chose the lifetime warranty with the Dodge.
I told the dealership to not even wash the car prior to me picking up the Scat Pack...also no front plate and no stupid dealer stickers. They did end up washing it but it was by hand. Both my previous chargers had to be paint corrected after pickup.
I'd like to see you address the visibility of the Camaro. I hear some people say it's the only thing that kept them from buying it, but I also hear others say it's something that you do get used to.
jeezig12 also the tiny back seat, tiny trunk issue. The c7 vette is actually a much more practical daily since the hatch has 2x the storage as the ss. I was going to buy a 16ss but bought a 16 scat challenger for a daily instead. If I had a 16 ss I'd have to use my c6 vette as a daily since it's more practical from a functional standpoint.
jeezig12 omg alll these vag hurt girls complaining about visibility, I have. 16 ss and can see just fine, also had a 14 ss and saw just fine in it. Granted I sat in a s550 gt and can see slightly better but nothing to whine about. U want good visibility get a fucking truck.
you know, that lighting on the wheels shows that it would look sick with some bronze wheels. Some MRR wheels in bronze would look great and probably be a little lighter than the stocks too.
I had a Dodge Challenger v6 and had it for a year. I recently bought a Camaro SS and I love it. But it's still a little difficult to adjust. It's faster yeah, but the challenger was so smooth in the road. You couldn't feel anything. But with the camaro you feel loads of objects on the road.
I'm an insurance agent in CA , usually the insurance companies go off the liability symbol on the vehicle , and yes the symbol on this Camaro is lower than the charger you had , It's kind of confusing , but that's how insurance works lol .
I went from a V6 pontiac G8 to a '15 1LE and my insurance went down about $20 a month. Like you, I was amazed! I mean a 4 door V6 to a 2 door V8. Who knows how they figure that out.
yoo bro this is the sickest new sports muscle car choice, so reliable and so modifiable i cant wait to see what youll wanna do with it l8tr on in its life span as well like racing, i have a 95 z28 camaro build that im swapping an LS4 into, doing a bunch of suspension and tuning mods to it as well as bolt ons and probably gonna make it full blower
Man I'm going to miss you're old Scatty, My work buddy has a Sactty as well, he was sad. I'm a Subie guy but really enjoyed seeing how the Scatty held up for you. I'm hoping that the Camaro will do well, but you gotta name her something ! p.s. I enjoy detailing as well, just got a Tourq 10 FX polisher, I've been using mainly Chemical guys V series line and they seem to work well.
congrats again, i saw you joined the 1LE group on FB I'm in. its a great group were like a 1le family lol. but I'm excited to grab mine. i plan on FBO and a procharger.
Well done. The 1LE Camaro is hands down the fastest track/backroad car you can get for the money. It probably is also the fastest in a straight line you can get for the money (aside from the dealer-supercharged Mustang GT).
Hey Riley congrats on your new awesome 1LE. If you love it who cares it's faster or slower than anything. It's your car dude and I'm just happy for you. Dude drive like 200miles a day so you can us show us big heavy revving pull in your next video lol say you planning on taking it to a long trip or taking it to the track since it can design to do both? Happy New year to everyone.
People are constantly comparing what's quicker than this and that. Who gives a fuck about any of that. If you're not taking it to the track it means absolutely nothing. Drive a car that you like.
Why go to the track when we got "Mexico"
mclovin'78 I like this information , ppl sometimes mention the 2015-17 charger v6 are slow don't get , a Honda will dust you , like really? We're on a street not track so really can't test out speed unless we're both in front the red light ..
Best bang for the buck. That's 1 reason.
Angel Espino he can literally go to Mexico 😂 he's in Texas
mclovin'78 exactly, always going to be a faster car and unless your going to an actual track it doesn't mean shit lol. You wouldn't believe the feedback I get for driving c63 over m3 lmfao "you can beat me in a straight line but on the corners your smoked" wtf lol who gives a shit
its impossible to hate on that thing
Mr Random Reviews oh snap what up I'm subscribed to you bro
Martin Ortiz whats up my boy
Mr Random Reviews Same with the Charger SRT 🖒
Walid H 👍👍
Mr Random Reviews ehhh, I don't like the looks of the 2016
In October I got my 2017 Ford Mustang GT with a Performance Pack for $36k. To think I could have bought a 1LE for $6k more breaks my heart. Don't get me wrong, I love my Mustang but when I drive it my smile isn't as big as when I drive the 2SS. I'll definitely be trading it in when possible.
Cali Livin_s550 I traded my 15 Mustang for a 17 SS. Worth it.
Put $6k worth of mods into the Mustang and make itbetter than the Camaro and end up with a car that looks way better and has a nicer interior than the Camaro. The 1LE package isn't some magic witchcraft, it's suspension and sticky tires.
Trevon Adams yeah but for 6k you can make 650 rwhp in the mustang...
Trevon Adams Yeah but the almost 6k more expensive so for those of us that pay cash for cars you can have 250 more hp for the same amount of money.
Trevon Adams also, I'm impressed that you know what ford was thinking. Are you psychic?
I completely agree, get the car that you like, and if someone else doesn't like it that's fine, they don't have to drive it.
right? i always tell them "is YOUR name on the title?"
my insurance agent told me once that part of the premium, is the likelihood of it getting stolen based on national statistics. I reckon that means a Charger is more likely to get stolen than a camaro.
SRTMUSH there's a lot more to it than that lol.
there is a ton more to it, but one reason why two seemingly similar cars can have a big difference in insurance
SRTMUSH most likely the biggest reason is that the charger is a sedan and the Camaro is a two door. Probably more at-fault accidents in the Camaro too.
Wait I misunderstood. I thought the Camaro cost more.
Selling price is for sure one factore, insured's age, driving record, horsepower, collision repair costs, etc,etc. But I had a Challenger SRT8, and went to a Charger SRT8, same year, and the price went up, thought it would go down by going from a coupe to a sedan.

I hate that the dealer drilled holes into my bumper as well annoys the shit outta me lol
Ro Formance I told the dealer not to drill the plate bracket into my bumper when my car arrived. Simple fix.
Ro Formance They try to tell you it was "added performance ventilation"? 😁
Flanvan Basir bought a pre-owned so didn't really have a choice in the matter lol😫
Yeah it sucks but Texas is a 2 plate state and it beats the shit out of giving PD probable cause to pull you over and getting a citation!!
Ro Formance It's not that big a deal
Its a nice "sports coupe" with plenty of power and handling. The Camaro has really grown on me, Congrats.
Your insurance is low because you are under your parents policy.
Ricardo Chavez your right about that under his parents. insurance lol he's just a young kid
Ricardo Chavez this is hilarious
I can't tell if I'm happy the camaro is no longer a muscle car or sad. I mean I thought the corvette was the sports car for Chevy and the camaro was the muscle car.

I'm not sure if it's just my area but I rarely see the new v8 camaros for some reason. although my area the price for any vehicle is high.
Ricardo Chavez hahhahahaha that's sad...and how old is this guy ? its called grow up and be on your own insurance policy
You sound mad. Why not be on it if it's going to be cheaper and save money it's just being smart bud.
Considering how fast this car is to a GT350 it is a great decision to go with the Camaro. It is one hell of a performance bargain.
ZL1Gimpelson they're no where near as fast as a base gt350 the auto only keeps up in the straights
the 1LE is manual only.... The 2SS keeps up with the Gt350 on the track. The 1LE surpasses it. Both are Amazing cars though. Can't wait to see the Gt350R face up against the new Z/28 in the future.
ZL1Gimpelson gt350 is the best sounding car
ZL1Gimpelson eh, gt350 handles better imo, sounds way better, and better visibility of course lol
+Michael Parks I agree. I like the GT350 better for me. Also think the looks are much better as well. The 1LE is a great car too though
Owning a scat pack here and love seeing your balanced reviews.. Glad to see you don't have blind loyalty to a brand. A manufacturer needs to earn their status.
God I hate how dealers drill those license plate brackets into the front bumpers.
I'd be very mad if they put the front plate on my car. I work at a dealership and we don't drill in the front plate unless the customer asks for it.
I think that car is faster than a scat pack too.
Christian Kaestner I'd be pissed too. They should never molest a new car unless the owner requests the front bracket. And yes the 6th gen ss is a hair quicker in the 1/4 than a scat but on a road course the scat will not compete, especially against a 1LE. My daily is a 16 scat.

It's all about power to weight
Christian Kaestner agreed, they are great boulevard cruisers, very comfortable touring cars and good at the drag strip. Hopefully the next gen challenger/Cuda? will be smaller, much lighter and nimble. When I park my c6 next to it my vette looks like a go cart, or a 3/4 scale car. The challenger/chargers are huge.
Gotta say, it's goddamn good looking.
I like camaros, but u should have really just went 2 the top and got the zl1
KING LOS he told you exactly why. You can't dainty drive a zl1, he wants a daily driver
Mubashar Ayub trust me it's gonna be people that drives there zl1 everyday I drive my hellcat everyday and I have more hp!!
KING LOS that's on you but these cars for longevity is not good idea to be a daily.
So pretty much just buy a zl1 or hellcat 2 just look at or drive on the weekends? Sorry but I didn't pay 70 grand 2 just look at a car I paid that much 2 drive the shit out of it!! It's a street beast it doesn't want 2 just sit up in the garage...
Not everyone can afford a zl1
now that you have a man's car I can subscribe
Austin Haley 😂😂😂😂
Lmao
big Mopar fan here too, definitely would pick this over a stang and 392 charger/challenger. just the handling aspect alone is worth it. until Dodge wants to drop about 600 pounds outta the twins, they won't compete around the curves
Kevin Wollenweber handling means more than at a track.
Kevin Wollenweber yeah no one's goes 85 around turns on highways, especially in Texas.
Kevin Wollenweber k
Kevin Wollenweber I go to the track, there's more than just drag racing. Autocross events / TrackX events are fun also, and theres one going on almost every weekend even in my rural area.
His insurance isn't that great of a deal if he's under his parents policy. I pay $83 a month for my 16 1SS, with gap insurance and everything. Now that's a deal!
Alfred Hernandez fuck that no way ,
mikexcanxjerk you bet, about $500 every six months. Through Allstate also. We have our home, all the cars, etc, been with them for many years, my record is perfect also so maybe that helps.
mikexcanxjerk maybe the guy put the car under my dad directly or something, but either way $83 a month is a steal for a brand new SS.
damn! wish i had a mommy and daddy that took care of me.
RICARDO P haha you wish, I bought this car all by myself. I'm only saving about $30-$40 a month on insurance, but something is something.
Riley this was a very informative video, you really answered all the pertinent questions. That hood absolutely makes the look of the Camaro.
Just got me a 2SS Camaro 50th anniversary. Msrp was 47k and got them down to 42k I work for GM so I got a discount for that and Black Friday stuff. Absolutely love it.
I love your car man, and GM will last longer. Can't wait to see what you do to it!!
That color combo is beautiful.
You made the right choice. I too drove other cars but once I drove the camaro I was blown away. Can't wait for more videos to see what u do with it
Great sound effects on the door closing @ 6:27 lol. I call that the Power Close. It's what we do for our muscle cars getting in, out and door closes..
I got a 2017 SS Fifty Edition. Love the Camaro's. Welcome to the fam XD
Digital Car Addict I just got a fifty on Monday. Love it so far
Stfu the both of yall
Digital Car Addict i have on but four banger turbo summer time more boost and mods
What options you got on it?
What options you got on it?
congrats brother !! wish you nothing but the best with this !! sucks you're not my purple bro any more lol but as long as you're happy, that's what matters !!
Well hey...now we're blue bros :)
RP Productions ok ok lol I can handle that :)
RP Productions I just came from buckalew yesterday and seen barney right up front next to a red vette on the used lot. Let's see if it gets sold locally soon before it goes to auction nation wide. It will usually sit for about 2 weeks to a month if not it's gone.
Getting a 6.2L V8, 455hp muscle car with around 40k? Forget what other people say man, I think it's a monster deal! Congratulation on your new ride!
I can remember the first time that I even had a semi-realistic change of getting one and went out looking at Mustangs. A fully-loaded GT was just north of $13,000 back then. Times have changed!
So glad my dad works for gm and I can get this for under 40k 😁
what the heck? what state do you live in? I wish my insurance was this low.
Dave Dj He's in Dallas Texas
Dave Dj Houston, TX to be exact college station near Houston
Dave Dj he lives in Texas
Alright that's pretty nice
I'm on my own insurance with my truck and my 2011 Charger RT and I only pay $150ish.
I had a similar experience with the insurance side of things. I went from a V6 honda accord (2 door) to a camaro SS and the insurance cost was the same. I was stunned (in a good way).
Wife wants a Camaro and I can't hate, gotta love Camaro. SS for the win
Trading in a new car and taking a loss of $7k is nuts, not a good move.
Yeah when I traded in my C6 for my 2016 GT I only loss 1.5k.. no way I could stomach 7k... I would have just waited and doubled up on payments.
spoiled kid!
slickman1953 man 7k over 9months that's insane to think about. That's two Craigslist miatas!
He wouldn't be able to do that if he worked hard for that money.
she's a beauty 💙
Hanna Herman yes and so is you beautiful

Don't you get a 2 year 24k mile free service for your camaro? Save you lots.
Thats really cool the insurance dropped when you purchased the Camaro.
NihselAuto hell no thats shits a lie you only get 2 free services I know that cause I just got a 2018 camaro ss and they were completely honest with me with that
Whipple supercharge it!!!! (when you have the funds)
I like how you kept it real and understood, the warranty will be voided, live with it
I had my 2017 Chevy Camaro for 2 weeks before it got pummeled with hail! Unfortunately, mine didn't escape unscathed. Over 4K worth of hail damage to the backend of my baby. 😭
Congrats man. Just a joke but:
$30 decrease for 30 horsepower decrease?
dat debt though
Great video man! Just picked up a 2018 1LE for 39k, coming from a 15 Mustang GT. Had 4 stangs and none of them compare to the smile factor of this car. I think I’ll hit 50 miles tomorrow on the odo 😃
Glad to see that there are some camaro bloggers out there
How old are you Riley? Insurance's go down when you reach age 25. You seem close to that age.
WirelessHotShot He's in college so he's probably right around 20-21 lol
WirelessHotShot he's lucky hell I'm 33 with not a single ticket best price I got on my scat was 178 a month
I got a ticket when I was 18 but it was not reported to my insurance. What insurance company do you have? I have Geico, they seem to always have the best rates.
WirelessHotShot I had geico but they went up on me I'm with Erie now there supposed to be the best out there but who Tha hell knows they all suck
you have to shop around, when i turned 25 i didn't get a lower rate. The biggest discount i got came when i purchased my house. i only pay 170 for full coverage on all 4 of my vehicles ,the newest one being my 2016 srt . I am a lot older now though 44
Only 46k??! Not bad
slimgoody503 he got it for 42k as mentioned later :3
Billy Bob Joe yea I didn't watch the whole video until now.
slimgoody503 ya then it'll break down and he'll lose more money on that then the Charger
BigRoB I don’t know why he didn’t just save/spend the extra 9k for a ZL1, if you’re gonna pay over 40k for an SS might as well get the ZL1 with super low miles for around 50k
i never liked Camaros but I saw this car in person at a dealership and I fell in love.
I had a 2014 1LE. Loved it. Have a CTS V now with about 850hp but I've been eyeballing those 1LE's again.
You should have got the gt350, could have been running people over when you leave cars n coffee
no sunroof no more huh
I've never had a sunroof in any of my vehicles! The 1LE option doesn't allow for a sunroof to make the car more rigid and safer in case of a roll-over on track.
RP Productions oh i thought you may have had one on ypur scat pack
kyles thurman I love sunroofs, makes the car seem bigger on the inside
George Rickett actually makes the headliner sot lower on this car.
Great choice. I would keep that Camaro for a very long time. You won’t ever get bored of it
you buying a Camaro is why i subscribed to this channel.. cant wait to see how it turns out
they would be giving me a new grille fuck that
Beautiful car but I'm not the biggest fan of that hood...
I agree with your review and as you can see by my screen name I was a Mopar owner but the Camaro is just an incredible car so I brought one to the 2SS.
congratulations riley!!!. I actually got a black ss 1le on new years eve. It was at $46,335 sticker price.
I didnt have ice falling on my car, paint was good, and they didnt drill that hideous license plate holder on my car!!! :D
No 5th gen Camaro is "rare!"
G. Warren That's a 6th gen Holmes
allemem1 well using GM math, isn't this a 7th gen? I mean since GM celebrated its 50th anniversary....without a single model from 2003-2009?
G. Warren Nope. There have been 6 generations. The 2016 MY is the 1st year of the 6th gen. Sorry.
allemem1 oh my bad so the 5th gen actually ran from 2003-2015. Makes sense! Either way.....no 3,4,5 or 6 gen Camaro is rare!
He never said it was rare. He said the 1LE is "more rare" than the new ZL1. The ZL1 is easier to find than a 1LE. The same was true with the 5th gen 1LE.
wait..how does a new car have a fucked up paint
A car Guy Its very common! The dealership detailers are untrained, and they also use automatic carwashes with bristles.
Harris Montevallo omg i never knew that.
A car Guy Yeah it pisses me off how negligent car dealer across the US are in terms of paint. They think its no big deal driving a brand new car through their dirty automated carwash. God forbid you let them detail it before they hand you the keys. I think really high end dealerships like Porsche & Jaguar, etc actually do it the right way.
Every car comes from factory with orange peel paint... Even your top dollar car comes with paint imperfections
Harris Montevallo porsche and Jaguar dealerships mess up too dont get it twisted.
i have a 2016 v6 rs camaro white with the hood in black gloss and its soooo nice to drive here in Mexico its so easy and gets alot of attention i love it
I have a 2017 ss. My cost went down as well from my Chrysler 200. They said on star saves money, car is the safest in its class, and believe it or not having a parent mode in the car saves you money. Food for thought.
The rims and their color is absolutely perfect
RP,
Nice pick for your new car bro !! I have a 15 ZL1 and if I were to get a new 6th Gen Camaro, I would get a 1LE simply because of what you stated...Best Bang for the Buck !!! Congrats !!!
I know exactly how your feel about the front license plate. When I bought my 16 mustang GT I specifically told them to not drill the bumper to the point where my salesman hid the license plate bracket in the trunk. Well.. the service guys found it and I noticed it had been installed right as my salesman was walking me out to the car explaining how he told the service people not to install it.. It was definitely a disappointment because I wanted to install a hidden license plate mount but the car was so much fun I forgot about it pretty quick.
Glad you finally got your man card back with the manual.
I agree the front plate holder dealer install is ridiculous. I would remove it and find some rubber blank plugs to fill the holes. My dealer was smart enough to not do that with my RT so it is now occupying shelf space and no front holes to fill.
That color combo is just fucking awesome. Tint the windows, muffler deletes, and an intake for starters
Nice explanation on your choice of the Camaro. I found your channel because of your Charger and the tire selection videos you did for the Charger,. I am a Mopar fan, but that Camaro is a nice looking ride. Your decision making process was well reasoned and more mature than some comments I have seen. Have fun with it!
This car was a great choice. It looks absolutely amazing
Have to say, definitely thought you were gonna go with a gt350...so much happier you went with this..looks really nice, love the color. Sad to see you set the mopar life aside.glad to see we didnt lose you to a mustang though...
You made the right decision. I have had my car for 9 months and I love
it even more. I'm planning to get as much hp out of it as possible
before getting the bottom end built. Good luck and congrats!
Congratulations to your mom and dad for buying a new car. *Sarcastic golf clap*
If you are looking to making it decent faster but don't want to mess with reliability too much I would say get drag radials,air filter,tune and if the car holds up decent and no issues your first big mod should be a heads and can setup! I've grew up with molar but anyone who would unsub just because you moved to gm is closed minded congrats on the car Riley!
1) the front plate, has to been installed by dealership if required by state, should have called and requested not to install the plate bracket.
2) insurance on the car is based on repairs and the how many accidents on the models, Camaros are tens of thousands which most not all are 6 cylinders.
you'll find more wrecked Charges do to police and the Hellcat wrecks driving up insurance costs up.
3) drive what you like.
I worked for a Ford Dealership here in Mishawaka Indiana, for 18 years, asked them to locate the car I have now from a auction. after a week went some were else and bought my Chrysler 300c Hemi.
looking forward to more video's
hopefully I'll get my Challenger Scatpac one day
I had a 300c with a 5.7 hemi, it was a beautiful car, and it sounded really nice with the exhaust I had on it, but I gave me so many problems, almost every week I had to replace something and it was never cheap, I traded it for an 01 ws6 trans am end of summer and it hasn't given me a single problem since, I'm a big GM person now
congrats on the camaro man i like it!i currently drive a challenger 2015 r/t auto.i used to have just a v6 2010 charger as my first car.ill never be in the v6 again lol.i didnt realize how much i enjoy the 2 door over 4 doors too!.i like how open minded you are about it.i like all of these muscle cars myself too.
as an owner of a 2016 mustang v6, the 2016+ camaros are damn sexy and i agree with a lot of people, as long as you love your car, that's the most important thing!!
get the stripes trimmed in blue. do the thick part trimmed and completely colored in on the small stripe. would look super clean
If you're happy and get the Dodge you like, you can also get a lifetime factory warranty with unlimited mileage. this won't help if you modify a lot which to me means you didn't buy the right car in the first place. My choice was between the 2ss and the Challenger Scat Pack. I chose the lifetime warranty with the Dodge.
congrats on the new car. being 6'6.. I don't see myself fitting in this car as rad as it looks
good video man. can't wait to see where you go with this one.
As long as your happy WHERE HAPPY!! can't wait to see more man
phillip arsenault ooh the grammar
I told the dealership to not even wash the car prior to me picking up the Scat Pack...also no front plate and no stupid dealer stickers. They did end up washing it but it was by hand. Both my previous chargers had to be paint corrected after pickup.
I'd like to see you address the visibility of the Camaro. I hear some people say it's the only thing that kept them from buying it, but I also hear others say it's something that you do get used to.
jeezig12 also the tiny back seat, tiny trunk issue. The c7 vette is actually a much more practical daily since the hatch has 2x the storage as the ss. I was going to buy a 16ss but bought a 16 scat challenger for a daily instead. If I had a 16 ss I'd have to use my c6 vette as a daily since it's more practical from a functional standpoint.
jeezig12 omg alll these vag hurt girls complaining about visibility, I have. 16 ss and can see just fine, also had a 14 ss and saw just fine in it. Granted I sat in a s550 gt and can see slightly better but nothing to whine about. U want good visibility get a fucking truck.
Drill the hole out. Then get some plugs at lowes. I did that to my 2012 camaro and you could barely notice
you know, that lighting on the wheels shows that it would look sick with some bronze wheels. Some MRR wheels in bronze would look great and probably be a little lighter than the stocks too.
I do appreciate you sharing the price and what you actually paid as well as the trade in value on the charger. Most people don't tell everything
Gears already been banged at the factory and who ever test drove it before you brotha. Do whet!
lol hardcore at "dammit" when the window sticker fell.
I had a Dodge Challenger v6 and had it for a year. I recently bought a Camaro SS and I love it. But it's still a little difficult to adjust. It's faster yeah, but the challenger was so smooth in the road. You couldn't feel anything. But with the camaro you feel loads of objects on the road.
I'm an insurance agent in CA ,
usually the insurance companies go off the liability symbol on the vehicle , and yes the symbol on this Camaro is lower than the charger you had ,
It's kind of confusing , but that's how insurance works lol .
I went from a V6 pontiac G8 to a '15 1LE and my insurance went down about $20 a month. Like you, I was amazed! I mean a 4 door V6 to a 2 door V8. Who knows how they figure that out.
yoo bro this is the sickest new sports muscle car choice, so reliable and so modifiable i cant wait to see what youll wanna do with it l8tr on in its life span as well like racing, i have a 95 z28 camaro build that im swapping an LS4 into, doing a bunch of suspension and tuning mods to it as well as bolt ons and probably gonna make it full blower
I like how more aggressive the ZL1 is than the LEs
Man I'm going to miss you're old Scatty, My work buddy has a Sactty as well, he was sad. I'm a Subie guy but really enjoyed seeing how the Scatty held up for you. I'm hoping that the Camaro will do well, but you gotta name her something ! p.s. I enjoy detailing as well, just got a Tourq 10 FX polisher, I've been using mainly Chemical guys V series line and they seem to work well.
congrats again, i saw you joined the 1LE group on FB I'm in. its a great group were like a 1le family lol. but I'm excited to grab mine. i plan on FBO and a procharger.
And here I am in Miami paying 200 of insurance for a corolla!!
Well done. The 1LE Camaro is hands down the fastest track/backroad car you can get for the money. It probably is also the fastest in a straight line you can get for the money (aside from the dealer-supercharged Mustang GT).
Man this thing will be a beast around corners!
I only subbed because of him yelling "dammit" at his paper that was flying away.
Hey Riley congrats on your new awesome 1LE. If you love it who cares it's faster or slower than anything. It's your car dude and I'm just happy for you. Dude drive like 200miles a day so you can us show us big heavy revving pull in your next video lol say you planning on taking it to a long trip or taking it to the track since it can design to do both? Happy New year to everyone.
