Nah, the Challenger is the very definition of a Muscle car. Loud, powerful, comfy, and ready to rock the strip. All 3 are competitive affordable now to get a all thrills, no luxe ride Even getting a luxe model is relatively cheap after discounts.
Necrotic Reaper what makes the lt1 special is that it has a v8 with the same power as an ss and it’s cheaper than some 4 cylinder turbos, most cheaper muscle cars are a v6. Whats also amazing is the mpg this camaro gets over an sti or civic type r that are either the same price or more expensive
@@bryceglidden6473 That's nothing special, Ford and Dodge cut the overall cost of the GT and Scat Packs a while ago. I've been seeing GTs for 28k at several dealers. Lmo The LT1 is basically what they did instead of just cutting the msrp of the SS down a bit.
I’ve watched a lot of videos from different car review channels and yours are some of the most informative out there. The amount of detail that you go into with each car is amazing.
Just traded a 2015 1SS in for a 2020 LT1. The significantly lower sticker afforded me to upgrade the sound system, wheels and add a spoiler for 38K and change. The SS had a manual, which I swore I’d never switch. The 10 speed automatic /manual in the LT1 made me a believer. I’m delighted with this my, 7th Camaro, since 1997. ( OK, one was a Firebird.
I got my 2016 Mustang GT for $32k. I still like it. I looked at Camaro when I was shopping. Price shot it down. Visibility too. GM V8 usually performs! Way different throttle feel than the Ford 5.0. Some people like that tight interior. Mustang is roomier, and Challenger is a living room! Gotta get what fits. Nice to see that there will be more V8 Camaros on the road at this price. As a GT owner, and previous owner of other performance cars, there is no glory without real competition. Just be safe. Great review as usual. Real, and on point.
@@whatswiththissassylostchilld Like I always tell anyone that hasn't checked out a certain car in person, they are usually free to test drive! Seating position in Camaros have been low and tight since the early 80s. Mustang got tighter in 94_95 through 2004 with their re designs. Then they went to a "retro" design in 2005. Like most classics vs modern cars, it was bigger and roomier. Dodge Challenger is retro style still, so it's a living room inside! I recommend you test drive the GT and the Camaro, and see for yourself. Should be fun!
Had a 2017 1SS for three years and 36K miles. A8, NPP exhaust and that was it. Very reliable, fast, handled well, had ZERO issues. Sold it a few months back as I have a C8 Stingray on order. OTHER than the crappy outward view it was pretty flawless. Annd one can live with the outward view by awareness and properly adjusted mirrors.
When other car channels focus on beautiful shots and technical jargon, Joe gets straight to the point. He feels like my father who left for scratchers when I was 5
Camaro has always been my favorite performance for many, many years and this one might just be the BEST bang for your buck EVER!! And it looks killer. I'm loving what Chevy has done with this as an option to the SS. Great review once again my friend!
A car for people that prioritize performance and FUN over everything else. I bet when you got on the loud pedal and had that huge grin, the last thing you were thinking was "hey, where's my mood lighting?" More automakers should be doing this, and i hope Chevy sells a ton of these.
The front end of the LT1 is an exact match to the RS V6 Camaro. The dual-mode exhaust on the LT1 is a must because without it actually ( then) the V6 exhaust sounds better.
This beast is hitting all the right numbers for a car that is only low $30K, I mean, dayumn. The shock color on black is flawlessly done, and the exhaust note 👌🏻 I think I want a Camaro now.
@@RaitisRides you can't beat the performance of these cars. My SS with options MSRP was 41k but with incentives and discounts I drove it off for 37k. I can imagine driving out with the LT1 for 31k ish.
@Kekistani Refugee a little salty my friend? lol my 04 silverado has 200k miles. I wouldn't buy a cruize or crossover suv from GM, but they know how to make a proper V8 and trucks.
@Kekistani Refugee I've owned many sport cars from Toyota, BMW, Ford, Honda, Mazda, VW, Chevy, and Lexus and they all have had their fair share of problems. Sport cars are meant to be pushed so problems will show up faster than a regular vehicle driven normally. I don't expect my sport cars to be as problem free as my wife's Rav4 hybrid because the way I drive each car is different.
Love your reviews. But, just to be clear, the LT1 gets the V6 front fascia, which wasn’t changed from its introduction in 2019 and carried over to 2020. Its the SS-exclusive front end only that was revised from 2019 to 2020. The LT1 does not have that SS front fascia.
I had a Camaro for almost 8 years. It’s crazy to me how much people complain about the blind spots. Never really cared about it. I drive a Honda Accord now and I really don’t know why people complain about the blind spots
I'm approaching 2 years with my 2020 Camaro LT1 10 speed rally green w/ black wheels, dual mode exhaust, and moonroof. It is my daily driver and I still LOVE driving it. It will be tough to turn it in next December. Hell of a car for $425/month that I drove off the lot with zero down.
Now that the LT1 exists I don’t think I would bother with the SS unless I was buying the 1LE package for track use. Unless there was an SS deal that was too good to pass up, which can happen with GM end of the year sales. Btw, if it has the quad exhaust tips it is the dual mode exhaust, as is the case with this one. It’s a $995 option. The standard LT1 has dual tips which are larger. Also, the modern Chevy pushrod V8’s (formerly LS, now LT) are fully modern and absolutely amazing engines. I like the LT1 6.2 a lot more than the Coyote 5.0 mostly for the torque and the sound. The only advantage the Ford engine has is higher revs.
Great price, performance. 190 mph? Wow. The good thing about being older (I am 51), many of us in this age bracket can afford it (and the insurance and new tires every few months). My #1 concern is getting in/out of it and those blind spots. I do like the simplicity of the Camaro vs the Mustang GT. But, the Mustang "looks" better
Love that color though, I have a black 2018 2SS. I am waiting for a 2020 SS 1LE in that shock color to come into my local dealer. They have a 2019 but like you mentioned in the video, that flowtie is an eyesore.
LOL !!!! It seemed like you were honking everything about the car until the 12:00 mark win you mashed on it. You were all smiles afterwards. Cracks me up every time I watch this video. It's also why I'm thinking about buying one next year. I love that motor. 😁👍👍
Raiti I gotta admit I really like your reviews, so much more informative then others. I just picked up my 2021 lt1 in the same color with all the premium options for 36k. Your video definitely helped me make the decision. I may do a review on the 2021 on my channel.
Would love to see a 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe RST 1 day. I know u already told me that u want to wait for the Refresh of the Tahoe but hey it's never been featured on Raitis Rides 🙏🏼.
the current gen tahoe is really just not worth it. There are so many improvements coming in 2021 that they only removed options for the 2020 model year, this goes for the yukon and escalade too.
@@james2042 Yeah pretty much. They only basically just removed couple things from their GM lineup. 2021 big year for GM I hope with their redesigned Yukon, Escalade, Tahoe. Thanks for sharing your opinion on this matter 🤝.
Love this LT1, I will finally upgrade from my 2012 LS. I’ve been disappointed in the versions following my2012 so I’ve been looking at The Mustang GT and the Challenger but just could not commit to either. Chevy has my undivided attention once again. I will upgrade.
I think they improved the grill, which reminded me of the Joker. The car is amazing for the price point, good to praise GM for getting it right, excellent review.
My 22 ss has body color mirror caps and the blindspot monitoring and digital rear view camera helped tons with the blindspots I have no problem seeing out of it at all
I'm sold! Great review. I regret having sold my '98 Firebird Trans Am 10 years ago, maybe I should get a '20 Camaro which is the closest "spiritual successor" to that car.
For my latest car, I wanted a new American car with a V8. I test drove the Mustang GT and it felt awful. No low end torque and it felt big and floaty. I test drove a LT1 and it had all of the torque and felt tight and planted, and ended up driving it home the same day. Fantastic car.
@@JordanSVT you're completely wrong. I don't know where you're looking to see that. Go to the Chevy and Ford websites and build both cars. The net price for the Camaro was $33,600 for the LT1, with the only option I picked was a rear spoiler. Then I went to the Ford website and built a basic GT. It's net price was $36,400 with no options picked, because it comes with a spoiler. And you'd probably get that Camaro for UNDER $30k without much issue because they don't sell very well. Also, the basic infotainment screen in the GT is a damn disgrace. Not even touchscreen. It's also hideous to look at. Sorry, like I said, I'm a Ford guy, but GM has Ford beat on infotainment and the price of these two cars. And it has Ford beat on torque and only five less horses. Don't be so biased.
Incredible price for the performance you get. I definitely think Chevy has the best bang for your buck when it comes to a performance car with this model. Kudos to Chevrolet. If I was in the market for another car, this one would be on my list as well as the V6 Camaro 1LE. Great review Joe and glad you had fun in it. The blind-spots are a real drag though...
When are you doing a review for 2021 camaro 🙏🏼 im planning to get mine soon but would love to see a review from you first 🔥🔥 please do it soon! There are some out there
Great informative video. Thank you for this. Much better and friendlier than going to the dealership and being haggled to buy. Will you please review and drive a manual transmission LT1 2020? I'm torn between choosing manual versus auto although I hear auto transmissions help the value stay strong and get better gas mileage.
Your reviews are top notch , I knew I could count on you to find out about the LT 1. I like storage for twinkies or king size snickers so I can hide them from everyone on trips to Myrtle beach and have a snack attack when everyone is zonked.
I used to hate the 2019 LT front end. This is not looking bad. Can't tell if 2020 has changed anything or if it has just grown on me. Unlike Joe mentioned, I think bowtie placement was same in 2019 for LT models.
Hi Joe my dealer has a bunch of these on the way. However after seeing your video I realize there is no reasonable spot to put a smartphone, Huge zonk for no USB or power on dashboard. No vent to attach a charging dock too. Would need a Qi pad inside center console and open it every time you get out of car. Deleted prior comment but shift indicators should not be a zonk as the tach is a shift indicator.
Ok now THAT is the best sounding STOCK exhaust for any of the base model v8 sports cars.... Mopar with a simple mid muffler delete is 2nd for stock sound
Surprised to hear u say that. I often hear about Mustangs having the best sounding exhaust out there, especially modified. Not even being biased, just from watching UA-camrs I hear Chevy and Dodge guys that say Mustangs win when it comes to sound, but everyone has a different taste.
2004 Terminator Cobra for stock exhaust the Mustang needs modified but once a Mustang exhaust is modified it’s very hard to beat the sound. Especially if it’s a modular motor with 4 cams.... but as far as stock exhaust this Camaro makes a good case, next up would be the Hemi cars that only need the mid muffler deleted. New Mustangs usually need x-pipe and axle back but once they do that it’s a whole different car
The flowtie was on the bumper of the SS which changed for 2020. The bowtie is now in the middle of the upper grille of the SS and the bumper is no longer painted black. The front end of the LT1 is the same as the LS and other LT models. The rear spoiler and the dual mode exhaust are not standard on this car either. A sexier start-stop button? Why? An awesome car and it reminds me of the fox body Mustang LX of the 1980's. Thanks for the video!
This has to be the best option for a naturally aspirated V8 with a manual. I think they finally got the tail lights right for this year finally. Not a Chevy guy, but if I had to have a V8 muscle car, I’d save money buying this and use the money Saved and have fun modifying it.
I still love my 2016 Camaro LT with the 4 cylinder turbo, I got her brand new, and put 57,000 miles on her. I Love the Visibility, there is not other car like it, and the Bind spot are not as bad as people make it out to be.
I feel like the LT1's probably the most clean design for the 6th gen Camaro, but I felt like Chevy could have taken more design cues from the original first-generation 67' Camaro with shaper lines and rolled fenders.
The way I see it, chevy gave you a v8 that's quicker, better sounding, and relatively cheaper. While Ford gave you a 2.3 EcoBoost that's slower, lawnmower sounds, relatively equal fuel economy.
Nope, the 2020 Mustang GT is a V8, not an ecoboost and it costs less than the Camaro reviewed in this video. Aftermarket is always cheaper for Fords aswell, I know this from personal experience. Currently, the Camaro probably has slightly better handling, but it's hardly noticable and most people won't be heavily tracking either cars to their full potential. The 2020 Mustang GT is faster, has more horsepower, looks better, is cheaper to mod, and it costs less! Costs about $6,000 less. So I'm not sure you can see it very well.
@@JordanSVT I'm not talking about the GT. Essentially the GT goes against the SS. I'm talking about how Chevy came out with the LT1 while while Ford came out with the high output EcoBoost turbo 4. Relative price goes with demand, beings that the mustang is more desirable. It will retain its price as opposed to the Camaro gaining discounts to sell them. As for mods, I'm not one to mod cars so that viewpoint is moot in my eyes.
Is the whole "I'm not sure you can see it very well" an attack on my view point? Maybe if you to comprehend my points maybe you wouldn't have came up with something that I'm not talking about. I was not talking about the GT nor will I. Because its not apart of what I brought to the table.
@@99-Zulu I get where you are coming from, but I feel like if someone is in the position to buy a brand new car, it would just be the smartest move to go with the Mustang GT. I'm not a fan of the EcoBoost so that's why I mention the GT at all. But if you must stick to Chevy I would go for the SS.
@@99-Zulu Yes it was an attack on your, "point of view." What you said just makes no sense, why would you settle for less performance for more money? If there better performance for cheaper and it'll hold its value better, go for that!
The LT1 defines what muscle cars used to be. Affordable fun.

For my latest car, I wanted a new American car with a V8. I test drove the Mustang GT and it felt awful. No low end torque and it felt big and floaty. I test drove a LT1 and it had all of the torque and felt tight and planted, and ended up driving it home the same day. Fantastic car.
Thanks for sharing that great input and perspetive!
No, the Mustang GT is the best sports car under $40k... plus I can pickup a 1SS for $32k in my area.
Good call1 I personally like the Mustang better.
No it’s not
Herschel Walker mustangs are UGLY
@@mikestackz854 If you own a Camaro all I can say is lol.
Herschel Walker they look better lmaoo
It’s the v6 front grille, there was never a center flow tie on the v6 grilles. Only on the 2019 ss trim level
I'm a Mustang guy, but the price of this has me thinking Camaro!!! This will be a winner for GM.
U do know that a 2020 Mustang GT costs less and has better performance right?
The price point is incredible.
This undercuts it.
@@JordanSVT you're completely wrong. I don't know where you're looking to see that. Go to the Chevy and Ford websites and build both cars. The net price for the Camaro was $33,600 for the LT1, with the only option I picked was a rear spoiler. Then I went to the Ford website and built a basic GT. It's net price was $36,400 with no options picked, because it comes with a spoiler. And you'd probably get that Camaro for UNDER $30k without much issue because they don't sell very well. Also, the basic infotainment screen in the GT is a damn disgrace. Not even touchscreen. It's also hideous to look at. Sorry, like I said, I'm a Ford guy, but GM has Ford beat on infotainment and the price of these two cars. And it has Ford beat on torque and only five less horses. Don't be so biased.
Spenser Hawk it’s also ugly as shit. Under 30? Lol
I absolutely LOVE the front end. I know most people hate it, but I think it's awesome.
Color is amazing
Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
My dream muscle car!! Amazing job Joe.
Incredible price for the performance you get. I definitely think Chevy has the best bang for your buck when it comes to a performance car with this model. Kudos to Chevrolet. If I was in the market for another car, this one would be on my list as well as the V6 Camaro 1LE. Great review Joe and glad you had fun in it. The blind-spots are a real drag though...
Thanks for sharing those great points Jason and thanks for the compliment!
I personally loved the 2019 Camaro SS design, but that’s just my taste. This LT1 is a great idea GM did. Affordable V8
When are you doing a review for 2021 camaro 🙏🏼 im planning to get mine soon but would love to see a review from you first 🔥🔥 please do it soon! There are some out there
As soon as they hit dealerships!
Raiti's Rides thank you🙏🏼❤️
You can`t see what`s on the road when you`re in this car, but everyone on the road can see you with this body color haha
I love the twinky/skittles/mints etc to describe spaces!
Thanks for letting me share the snacks with you!
That front end is not the revised-for-2020 SS front end; it's just the non-SS front fascia that came out in 2019.
Great informative video. Thank you for this. Much better and friendlier than going to the dealership and being haggled to buy. Will you please review and drive a manual transmission LT1 2020? I'm torn between choosing manual versus auto although I hear auto transmissions help the value stay strong and get better gas mileage.
I appreciate you letting me share it with you!
Your reviews are top notch , I knew I could count on you to find out about the LT 1. I like storage for twinkies or king size snickers so I can hide them from everyone on trips to Myrtle beach and have a snack attack when everyone is zonked.
This makes you wonder if they actually could sell vettes brand new optioned like this for under 40k as well.
A nice car but rather have something with more space like a charger
Charger's drive like a boat in comparison. But if you need the space.....
@@jamievidd775 well I'll stick with my yacht then
I used to hate the 2019 LT front end. This is not looking bad. Can't tell if 2020 has changed anything or if it has just grown on me. Unlike Joe mentioned, I think bowtie placement was same in 2019 for LT models.
Thanks for sharing your input on this one!
6:20 Red 2020 Toyota GR Supra.
STEP-DOWN...TOYOTA-RYDER!!!
@@scottbarker9058 True. Basically a BMW Z4.
Love the LT1 but I went and bought a 2019 ss with the weird front end for roughly the same price. 3k miles but all the interior goodies.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!
You are so very welcome!
Hi Joe my dealer has a bunch of these on the way. However after seeing your video I realize there is no reasonable spot to put a smartphone, Huge zonk for no USB or power on dashboard. No vent to attach a charging dock too. Would need a Qi pad inside center console and open it every time you get out of car.
Deleted prior comment but shift indicators should not be a zonk as the tach is a shift indicator.
Ok now THAT is the best sounding STOCK exhaust for any of the base model v8 sports cars.... Mopar with a simple mid muffler delete is 2nd for stock sound
I agree. In regards to Mopar, I did a delete on my 18 Challenger RT with active exhaust and it sounds awesome. I feel no need to get a custom exhaust.
J. Morris they sound better than any of the exhaust kits I’ve heard for them
Surprised to hear u say that. I often hear about Mustangs having the best sounding exhaust out there, especially modified. Not even being biased, just from watching UA-camrs I hear Chevy and Dodge guys that say Mustangs win when it comes to sound, but everyone has a different taste.
2004 Terminator Cobra for stock exhaust the Mustang needs modified but once a Mustang exhaust is modified it’s very hard to beat the sound. Especially if it’s a modular motor with 4 cams.... but as far as stock exhaust this Camaro makes a good case, next up would be the Hemi cars that only need the mid muffler deleted. New Mustangs usually need x-pipe and axle back but once they do that it’s a whole different car
Thanks for sharing your input on this one!
The flowtie was on the bumper of the SS which changed for 2020. The bowtie is now in the middle of the upper grille of the SS and the bumper is no longer painted black. The front end of the LT1 is the same as the LS and other LT models. The rear spoiler and the dual mode exhaust are not standard on this car either. A sexier start-stop button? Why? An awesome car and it reminds me of the fox body Mustang LX of the 1980's. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the info! I just see some great design on the interior and that start stop button looks like junk. You are going to press that every day!
Damn that thing sounds GOOD!!!
I totally agree with you!
Joe: Can we put a little sexiness into the start button?
Me: Shaped like the leg lamp from a Christmas Story?
PERFECT!!! You are awesome Victor!
@@RaitisRides It's my snarky Northeastern humor coming out. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I still can’t get over that blind spot in these cars.
AGREED!
Ever heard of a mirror?
wa muigai Its really not hard once you get used to it, after a week with it, it becomes natural
Johnny Ringo you obviously don’t know what a blind spot is 😂😂😂
Damn that much power for $35k is insane. It’s honestly hard to make an argument for any other vehicle on the market in this tier.
I totally agree with you!
Can you do the 2020 Zl1 next . that would be great.
I will get that together for you!
watched a lot of your videos, and you seem to have the most fun in these v8 camaro's!
The inside still looks very uncomfortable like wow
The seats are comfy but you do feel cramped.
Love the seating in mine. Idk it feels tucked, special
This has to be the best option for a naturally aspirated V8 with a manual. I think they finally got the tail lights right for this year finally. Not a Chevy guy, but if I had to have a V8 muscle car, I’d save money buying this and use the money Saved and have fun modifying it.
Thanks for sharing your input on this one!
I still love my 2016 Camaro LT with the 4 cylinder turbo, I got her brand new, and put 57,000 miles on her.
I Love the Visibility, there is not other car like it, and the Bind spot are not as bad as people make it out to be.
SoppyBottomBoys if you say so. It’s like sitting in a tank with a bathtub
Thanks for sharing your input on this one!
Yes sir!
I feel like the LT1's probably the most clean design for the 6th gen Camaro, but I felt like Chevy could have taken more design cues from the original first-generation 67' Camaro with shaper lines and rolled fenders.
I was looking at this last week. Personally it doesn’t really do it for me. Mustang GT all the way!
I'm thinking of buy a used 20' Chevy Camaro.
only 455 out of a 6.2L. what a joke GM is so behind the times with these motors. No wonder they are getting out sold.
Because it's not the high end model...
The zl1 Camaro also has a 6.2L engine but with 650hp
@@dono2926 it’s supercharged
@@Ryderwoollen The lt1 isn't, but if you're talking about the zl1 then you're right.
@@dono2926 I’m talking about the zl1’s 6.2L being 650 hp solely bc of the supercharger
The big three are all awesome. Great video, man. Thank you!
Yep Joe u probably guessed it by now. I didn't get the notification 😰.
Make sure you update your setting!
@@RaitisRides I did. I have the absolute latest update possible for UA-cam. Thanks Joe for your help 🤝.
Your vids are great and honest
Thank you so much for saying that and letting me share it with you!
Sooo hows the LT1 top speed 190? But it only has 180 on the dash someone inform me ?🤣
It only has 160 MPH on the dash, and it does 150 MPH.
2019 zl1 went 12.1 in the 1/4 mile at my local track, I usually add almost a half second onto factory produced 1/4 times, and usually it’s right on
12.1 zl1 needs a driver mod
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
AGREED!
A ZL1 should run in the low to mid 11's.
5:55 ☠☠🇱🇷🇱🇷🤯🤯
You mean 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I will be getting a 2023 lt1 I cant believe they are going to stop making them.
Nice Chevrolet Camaro 2029
toufik lebcir algeria you can say that again.
The way I see it, chevy gave you a v8 that's quicker, better sounding, and relatively cheaper. While Ford gave you a 2.3 EcoBoost that's slower, lawnmower sounds, relatively equal fuel economy.
Nope, the 2020 Mustang GT is a V8, not an ecoboost and it costs less than the Camaro reviewed in this video. Aftermarket is always cheaper for Fords aswell, I know this from personal experience. Currently, the Camaro probably has slightly better handling, but it's hardly noticable and most people won't be heavily tracking either cars to their full potential. The 2020 Mustang GT is faster, has more horsepower, looks better, is cheaper to mod, and it costs less! Costs about $6,000 less. So I'm not sure you can see it very well.
@@JordanSVT
I'm not talking about the GT. Essentially the GT goes against the SS. I'm talking about how Chevy came out with the LT1 while while Ford came out with the high output EcoBoost turbo 4. Relative price goes with demand, beings that the mustang is more desirable. It will retain its price as opposed to the Camaro gaining discounts to sell them. As for mods, I'm not one to mod cars so that viewpoint is moot in my eyes.
Is the whole "I'm not sure you can see it very well" an attack on my view point? Maybe if you to comprehend my points maybe you wouldn't have came up with something that I'm not talking about. I was not talking about the GT nor will I. Because its not apart of what I brought to the table.
@@99-Zulu I get where you are coming from, but I feel like if someone is in the position to buy a brand new car, it would just be the smartest move to go with the Mustang GT. I'm not a fan of the EcoBoost so that's why I mention the GT at all. But if you must stick to Chevy I would go for the SS.
@@99-Zulu Yes it was an attack on your, "point of view." What you said just makes no sense, why would you settle for less performance for more money? If there better performance for cheaper and it'll hold its value better, go for that!
I'm still a Camaro fanboy ....
I was NOT expecting that exhaust note especially for less than 35k 😍😍😍
AGREE!
I like the V8 6.2 L on the Camaro LT1
I am so glad that you like this one.
