I left this morning to go buy a 2019 Mustang GT Performance Pack 1, and decided to drive this car before signing the paperwork. There’s a 2018 Camaro SS 1LE in my garage. Amazing car.
Ryan Clark same here. I almost ended up with a 2018 Mustang PP2. I’m glad I bought a 2018 Camaro 2SS 1LE.
@@mike98ws666 Did you test drive the Mustang PP2? Deliberating between the two now.
Daniel Membrillo I drove the PP1. I wasn’t too impressed. The Camaro was the better car for me.
I had a 2017 2ss and sold it for a Jeep. Regretted it and went into a 2018 2PP (Mustang) and haaaated it. I really miss my Camaro.
@@culley65 you sold a Camaro for a fucking jeep!? LOL
This kid loves every car he drives. It’s hilarious.
He really appreciates cars
Avon Barksdale Better than any other reviewer
Shit if peiple were handing me sports cars to drive id love it too. I like everyrhing fast👌
*"Let's turn onto this straight-road/back-road here"*
Alanz0 straight back roads are a thing..
I know...he just always says one of these in his videos
I didn't know this guy still made videos. I was mistaking him for VV. Not sure which one I can stand the least.
At leas this guy didn't fuck over his best friend, and ruin someones car.
or "Let's turn onto this back-road mother-fuckers! Wooooooooofuckyeaaa bitches!!! Beeeeep beep.
zzzhuh what happened with vv?
I'm a Mustang guy all around. But this makes me want a Camaro. Not gonna lie.
Josh Rolfe never liked camaros but these new ones imo are beautiful
I'm the same - even though I'll probably order a 2018 Mustang (sold my 2015) I think I'll at least have to drive one of these....
Josh Rolfe damn I'm proud of you
Almost the same here...I consider myself a Challenger guy, but I've had my eye on the Camaro's lol. I don't like the way they styled the back of the newer Mustangs -- they seem like they have a 'bubble butt' lol. It doesn't match the traditional Mustang style I guess imo.
EBSting I agree,
Can we just get a compilation of "Okay, so let's turn onto this backroad here..."
Whats funny is that I believe this is THE car I own today, thanks for not beating on it too much
yup I just noticed the same scratch under the hood, I believe it was done at the factory
8:55 ... What we all came for.
Sudzy sudman very true
Oh I came alright.
Huh??? Never mind. I'm afraid to ask......
Sudzy sudman thank you! This is indeed the moment I was waiting for. The money shot.
He nuts harder every time 😏
Absolutely fantastic review Matt!
RP Productions Lol I had a feeling I'd find you here!
Thanks man!
Should kept the 1Le Riley Matts review and your videos sold on getting mine.
I'll never get tired of this nigga's reactions lmao
Gotta admit the new Camaro looks better than the newer Mustangs.
JD JoyrideTV Not the facelift though.lol
It has a more aggressive look. The new one has that new down syndrome look. Why chevy, why? the new mustangs look badass, what was chevy thinking?
The new mustangs hoods remind me of a clam. Ugly!! Can’t beat the amazing Camaro!
Damn that's a lot of trunk space. Wasn't expecting that.
Kiliab Gonzalez Bigger trunk to hold all the parts you will need to upgrade it.
Large trunk to keep another engine incase it brakes down Best case scenario! Right babe?
Moises Palacios yup
taipeikartman a your joking right?
Yeah, I think they should have made the back seats a slight more roomier at the least vs the humongous trunk space.
admit! how much better this machine is over its competition. I've owned mine for 2 months just over 1000 miles. This thing is incredible, believe me.
Ya Wan Shum true, I've had both. camaro leaps and bounds better.
Upload your videos, dumbass
Mine are up!
Clayton Yates Yes they are. Good man.
That thing is a monster
the American bull
54v3 7h3 W0r1d Honestly this car gets pretty good gas mileage. with the 8 speed this car can achieve almost 30. name another car with a v8 or even a turbo 6 with similar power getting that mileage.
oaccessasia1 it's not bad
It's an SS 1LE......there is no 8 speed.
"Not much storage space." That's what the back seat is for lol
Exactly. A two seat sports car with piles of storage.... compared to other two seat sports cars.
My buddy just got one of these like 2 weeks ago, SS 1LE with manual transmission, god that car is a beast
Just think it beat the GT350 *(not the R version)* and it beat the last gen Z/28 for far less money on track. not to mention the V6 1LE was only 4 tenths off a hellcat. this chassis / 1LE package is amazing.
Justin Bouche I don't care about it .... I just care about the ZL1 1LE.... screw you guys fight me
Dan The Man (I hop in mustang)
How dare thee!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Didn't beat the gt350 and who cares if the v6 was close to a boat
I absolutely love your reviews you're enthusiasm is so genuine. Always a great video Keep it up man. 👌🏽💯
Tip: When the trans locks you out of 2nd. go directly to 3rd instead of 4th. 4th gear will borderline lug if going to slow, 3rd at low speeds is a non issue and still good for gas mileage.
U can still go to 2nd u just have to push a bit
"Of course it's keyless entry, push button start so just leave the key in your pocket, hit the engine start button....And it roars to life" lol. I swear I could watch his videos all day. Nice review of my favorite car, Matt!
Wonderful car, but the placement of the ss badge on the rear bumper... so random.
MotoAZ I know right I always say that
yeah definitely an afterthought, would look better without it
I agree
there's not a better place for it. i bought a set of black badges for mine and i was thinking the same thing as you but Chevy got it right anywhere else looks weird
Tbis2399 replace the chevy badge in the back with a "SS" BADGE that'll look good
I love your content. I purchased a 2013 Mustang GT track package. Paid it off and just purchased a 2018 Camaro 1 ss 1LE because of your video and reviews. Hope this comment reach you directly. I'm a big fan, and if you're ever in my neighborhood, I will throw my keys to you with no worries. Purchasing the Camaro 1 SS and the 1LE was a tough decision because I have been a Mustang fan and owned them for years. Thanks for your content my friend. My car will arrive on the 15th of March so I watch your video daily in suspense! Love you man.
Hey James, congrats on your new Camaro, I'm so glad the videos helped you decide! Thanks for the comment and for being a fan and I hope you enjoy the Camaro for a long time!
I've been reading car reviews since well before you were born. Your professionalism is exemplary, and you could easily write for high-end automobile publications or newspapers. Thank you for this fine public service.
Man I already know that I'd be as excited as this guy is driving that beast!!
This guy should consider sales with his review...smooth talker and obviously brilliant
Zion Akinjide he would probably make more money just doing reviews. Car sales isn’t what it used to be
@@t2thek idiots think there is $10000 profit in a $15000 car bahaaha
the 1LE definitely should have come with blacked out or cleared out taillights, awesome car none the less!!
Great Review Matt
Should get this instead of saving up for another Crashstang.
The Camaro has been and will always be better than the Mustang
BuilderBro9000 that's not true at all my friend
BuilderBro9000 yupp, especially now with the 6th gen maros are shiting on dodge and ford
Especially the 65-66, and 2003-2009 models!! Oh, wait......
The 98-02 SS and WS6 was too much for the 05-09 Mustang. It took Ford 9 years to figure out how to beat GM's retired N/A pony cars without supercharging their Mustang. Good job.
BuilderBro9000 Lol if it weren't for the Mustang, the Camaro wouldn't even exist. If it weren't for the constant one-ups Ford throws out with the Mustang, the Camaro wouldn't be pushed so hard to match or be better. They are so closely matched that I would be perfectly content to own either. Instead of bashing the Mustang, you should appreciate their half-century rivalry that has kept both cars alive, and the enthusiasts/consumers entertained and satisfied. When it's all said and done, neither of them would be what they are today if it weren't for each other, and that is a fact.
these reviews are priceless, i find myself looking for the reaction more than the action itself
Best color combo I've seen with this car
It's irritating when people argue between mustang and camaro, I like both but then I realize, at least they're both American cars and not unreliable german junk
Stuff stuff and More stuff ya the 6.2 v8 from GM is way more reliable than the 6.2 Amg from Benz.
The 1LE package is a pretty good deal. You get:
-Cooling package
-satin balck hood+splitter
-LSD
-magnetic ride
-Forged wheels with wider Eagle F1 tires
-Bigger brembos up front, 6 pot
-Dual mode exhaust
-recaros
All of that for $6500. I'm pretty sure it'd probably add up to be more than that if you did it aftermarket or added them separately as options.
Just FYI, the tires are pretty cold at 50 degrees. Above 70 degrees, or hot on the track, they stick like glue. I own one, and it is completely different depending on tire temp.
I'm a Mustang guy but have no problem saying this car is a BEAST!
50 yrs? Chevrolet obviously isn't counting the 8 yrs it was out of production.
Agreed but can we really count the Mustang II (except for Cobra)?
Scott Warmbier I don't even know what that means. It's 42 or 43 yrs not 50. Hopefully, they can keep this one afloat unless they need another bailout from taxpayers again.
Looks like the interior is finally improving
though. Good job GM
I'd say it's a little misleading. 50 years since the Camaro was first introduced, but not 50 consecutive years of Camaro.
The Mustang II was a re-badged Ford Pinto. If you want to be technical, I guess you can call that a Mustang. It's a stretch. A Pinto. I'll just leave it at that.
it's still the 50'th anniversary of the camaro. . .
The 6-speed manual is go good.
I am a Mopar guy but this.. this makes me want a Camaro. Also thanks for using only the good sounding part of the music, very disapointed by the original.
Such a great review Matt. I've been on the fence with my next muscle car purchase. I love all of them and was a former owner of all three: The Camaro, The Mustang, and The Challenger. I love this model and option of this Camaro and for the money, it is one hell of a deal for the performance you get. Minus all the nuances, which all three brands have, I'm certainly leaning on getting the ILE; Waiting for 2018 SS ILE w/10 speed auto. They better put that option in there. Thanks for the review
Odd that this comes out when I'm trying to decide between a mustang and a camaro
mrjoshua1983 that GT350 R is a monster bro
Firstly - I'm a Ford and Mustang guy - that said - if I had a gun to my head TODAY between the '17's I'd probably pick the Camaro if I wasn't going to be in the driver seat for hours on end - as Matt said the Camaro is a better car for the track and general hooliganism. If you want a nicer interior (personal preference) and with nicer materials then the Mustang is the way to go. Definitely drive both - and remember that as it gets closer to mid year here that Ford will be taking orders for the 2018's and current inventory might be down a bit but prices will also be better. I think you'll always get better discounts on the Chevy
I am in the same boat! Trying to decide what J want. Very tough decisions have to be made!
I'm a Mustang guy and took the 11-14 Mustang over the previous model Camaro, and would do it again 10 out of 10 times. That being said, if I had to choose between a 2017 Camaro and a 2017 Mustang, I'd probably lean toward the Camaro. Unless its a GT350 Mustang, that one trumps them all.
I say this thinking that the 2017 Camaro is ugly. Problem is that I think the new Mustang's were a step down visually from the 11-14 Mustang's, and the new Camaro has taken back the top performer mantel. Price sucks for the Camaro, but if that's not an issue for you I'd have to lean towards the Camaro.
I really enjoy your reviews bro. Your reactions to acceleration should be a GIF. Nicely done
That exhaust is just soo nasty, oh my.
Tire Killer345 imagine muffler delete
Best sells pitch ever ! Chevrolet should give you that car for all the ones that will sell from your video, I’m getting one myself.
I LOVE my new 1LE! I got mine with the only option available which you mentioned Peformance Date Recorder but will most likely never use it lol I can't believe the performance of this badboy! I find reasons to go driving now...lol
Great review!
LJ & Son's VLOGS would you mind sharing the price?
Can't wait to review one for my UA-cam channel
Came here for the arm rest softness commentary and the giggling under WOT, wasn’t disappointed!
You know, this color is starting to grow on me.. AWESOME WITH THE BLACK ACCENTS.
"Let's turn onto this ____road and see how she does" - signature quote. Gotta love it. Shoutout to Dylan Presko who works sales at Tom Henry Chevy.
Matt, your reaction during this drive made me get off the fence and buy this car in White.
Same here... in Wild Tintcoat Cherry
If your a hater get off this channel and go watch someone else. This guy makes good quality videos.
The manual will never die
RIP FORD MUSTANGS
How so? If you're talking about overall performance then yes - Camaro has beat Ford for quite some time. I didn't buy my last two Mustangs to track them - if I had I'd of bought Camaros. I bought Mustangs as a "GT" car - I often drive for 5-6 hours without stopping - IMO the Mustang is a better choice for that. I will still look at Camaro when I'm ready to buy another car - I'm biased towards Ford but I'm willing to keep an open mind every time I buy...
Pfffff hahaha the gt350 is better, more special than this crap
ps31871 totally different price ranges... that's what the zl1 is for 😘
RIP visibility.
You mean RIP Nissan 350Z/370Z visibility.
Chevrolet must be really happy with this review... If they are watching. Sounds like a great car and I'd buy it if I could see out of it
chevy has balls for giving a mustang fanboy a camaro to review
PVKLoL shows how confident they are
Finally an interesting car review!!!!!!
Man never thought I would buy a camaro but these new ones....damn 😈
+Subaruwrxfan if you didn't notice the climate control cluster is actually different from the 2SS. It doesn't have dual zone like the 2SS. The 1SS and 1LE looks much cleaner.
This guy is having the time of his fucking life. Look at him
The SS 1LE is great but, I can't help but drool over the 'Baracuta G9' that you're wearing.
Haha thanks, I love it.
This guy has the best job ever.
i'm liking this video for 2 reasons. 1) you always make amazing videos 2) when you showed Apple CarPlay it had Starset playing and they're my favorite band
There was a white SS at my dealership with burnt orange colored seats. Very hot color combo.
COOL Review: 2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE (Manual)
Just the tire set up alone I’m sold on this car!
That color is awsome
I was all set to buy a 2018 Mustang with PP2, then I test drove a 1LE, game over! Funny it turned out to be Artic Blue Metallic just like this one
Face it! You're going to get you Bullit Mustang because you've always wanted one and at sometime before the end of this generation Camaro's run you're going to get one because you love it and because it's one of the best cars ever and you want to get your hands on it.
I work 2 minutes down the road from Tom Henry !
I don't think you stopped smiling that whole review. :)
I drove a 2018 yesterday. Un-fucking-believable! And this was the SS, not the ZL1. Power, handling, braking, sound...Damn son, you don’t need to do a thing to this car.
Next video why I traded in my Mustang for a Camaro 1LE :P
kevinsdb1 😝
The moment when you want a Camaro...
The moment when you have no idea how to drive a manual...
The moment when you have no money...
Are you sure you don't like the Camaro more than your GT, cause you seem to smile alot more when your in a Camaro?
Jay Simpson he's said in the past if he had the money and drove back roads much much more he'd buy a 6th gen ss rather than his current 5.0.
The Camaro is definitely the better driving car for sure. I still like the visibility, looks and interior of the Mustang better, otherwise I'd be driving a Camaro for sure.
subaruwrxfan interior of the Maro is better in my opinion looks more of a modern sports car the mustang interior still looks very classic with aluminum everywhere and those huge as gages
I agree...I like the interior of the 6th gen Camaro a lot. And the Mustang is improved as well, but (IMO) isn't as ergonomic as the Camaro's.
The visibility is really the Camaro's Achilles heel.
am I the only one who likes the 5th gen camaro interior better than all of em??
Awesome! I was trying to see a video of the 1le in this exact color, it really helped!
Just thought I'd let you know that I was unsubscribed... But I found my way back!
I love how his voice jumps up 2 Octaves when he smashes the gas. lol!
I think I'd put some black tape over those red and blue lights on the rear view mirror.
Good to know he read the brochure.... sounds like a car salesman.
1LE only comes in a manual, but I'm sure you already know that.
As it should! :D
Hell yeah!
Monopoly #savethemanuals !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES! I have two of them. One of my cars is also only avail in manual. The way it should be!
Top DCT's are faster. If the responsive of traditional automatics become nearly instant and have more gears than I'll take an automatic without question. It makes the car faster.
Viper has a smaller windshield but the Camaro has a small one.
Thinking about buying this car, makes me want to buy a pair of driving gloves to go along with it. Just feels right...
He can be driving a Ford Pinto and still be excited as fuck.... Love it!
Awesome camaro and awesome review mate
I came so close to purchasing one that was identical, great car but I just didn't care for the visibility as well as the complaints with the engine on forums.
Wouldn't be a Subaruwrxfan video without 9:00 and his expressions
@9:05 when he stepped on it, it reminded me of the episode of “Family Guy” where Stewie is asking Brian about his novel. Lol Great review tho!
Love your reviews man! Only thing you left out was that the front seats barely recline at all. Don't kill me if you already mentioned this on your 2016 Camaro SS review. It still wasn't a deal breaker for me, I love my 1LE.
I have an m4 and this on the way can’t wait to see how different they are but I also have the 2ss on the way
Christ the trunk in that looks bigger than my '16 impalas trunk!!
In the beginning of the vid, that panel transition from the front quarter panel to the front bumper...... Doesn't look too smooth. However, for the money, the new V8 Camaro is hard to beat. The ZL-1 is around 65k and does 0-60 in 3.5s, qtr mile in 11.5s. pretty damn good.
you are such a happy man
nice review as always. since the new 10-speed is slowly trickling down the pipeline to a few GM vehicles is it possible that we still may see that transmission in the 1LE SS?
your intro is insanely cool ...
JUST BOUGHT ONE !! PICK-UP 3-18-17 !! Bright Red
My Camaro is that same exact colour but the v6 version
I want this car. Will even get rid of my 70 454 Chevelle for this!!!!
A beast in a nice paint job!
That intro is amazing
On a scale of 1 - 10 how does the 1-LE match up to the base GT 350?
I was always a bigger fan of the Challenger's looks .. and even Mustangs. But wow this Camaro here looks too good. Love that light blue color, with the black touches. I used to think the slightly older Camaros were better lookin with the bigger headlights. But these thin headlights are growing on me. :) Nice review.
To really enjoy these car you need to live in a cop free zone.
car=cars
Love My 2007 Mustang...But Dam Do I Want a SS Silver With The Black Acsents Like This...Sooo Freakin Clean!
Video is a little old, but wanted to add that the 1LE has a short shifter
