Nice update! I've got a 2020 LT1 and am well aware of the chirp you mentioned. Brake dust is a pain on my silver wheels. I didn't know oil changes were so high. They threw in 4 free changes for me when I bought mine. Still got 3 left. It helps to be old for insurance rates. Im paying less. Good work!
4 free oil changes are nice that’s almost $1000 savings if you’d only service at the dealership. The black wheels are a big help with the dust and that chirp gets annoying at times but the good certainly outweighs the bad.. Appreciate the comment!
Thank you for this video! I just passed a year with my LT1 and still puts a huge grin on my face when I get into the car. If you are looking for quick mods, look into the red knee pads for the interior, they look awesome!
Wow, that oil change price is insane! I had a 2005 Pontiac GTO and it was hovering around $90 at that time! I started doing my own oil changes. Great video! That Camaro sounds so good!
That’s also expensive for the time and the GTO had a much smaller Oil capacity. It’s the 10 quarts that’s the killer haha but I’ll be changing my own too from now on thanks for the comment! 👍🏼
I have a 2022 LT1 and am getting 20 mpg around town and 26-27 mpg on the HiWay. At the time I bought my Camaro the dealership offered me 5 oil changes for $398.00. I’m glad that I took them up on the offer.
I leased my 2022 LT1 in October and your videos prior contributed to my decision. My dealer offers 5 oil changes for the three year lease and yeah they are expensive from what I hear. Nice update.
Glad I could help brother wish you luck with the car! The 5 oil changes are a game changer haha I’m probably just gonna be doing it on my own from now on.
@@Unknownuser12356 For a lease it’s not your car it’s pretty much like renting a car. You have to return it. But financing you are purchasing the vehicle in monthly payments. It’ll be yours after finishing paying it
Glad to see your still loving your car!! I still love my 2019 as well!! I was wondering if you ever got your door fixed. Sounds like its going to be something you have to live with. I was shocked to hear that oil change price though! My oil changes for my V6 are only 60 bucks at the dealership. LOL Mine also has the RS package but for the interior I also got the technology package with the larger infotainment screen and the Bose speakers. The system sounds great! As for that noise you mentioned I can't say I've ever heard anything like that before. I may look at getting a V8 once GM makes a final decision on the car's fate. But, I bought my car new and its paid for and I enjoy driving it. It still has a 0-60 time of 5.2 secs. Not shabby at all. We'll see what happens I guess.
Still love it haha glad you love yours too! I’d really appreciate a $60 oil change but 10 quarts of 5w30 or 0w40 costs about that before accounting for the filter or tax. 5.2 seconds is really quick tho prior to the sticky tires, my LT1 was having trouble breaking the 5 second mark. The chirp is from the AFM cylinder deactivation which the Auto V6 should also have, but I’ve only heard the chirp complaints with the Auto v8 models. Really not a big deal especially if It helps me get good gas mileage!
@@WTFCRLT1 If you want to change up your interior a bit I would suggest getting the Knee pad Interior Trim kit. It's a very easy replacement and makes the interior look a little more premium. They come in a few different colors. I have a pic of the before and after on my car on my insta page if you want to check it out. They are OEM too.
I had a whistle sound that I fixed on another car. I took some painters tape and put it on the seam on the mirror till sound stopped. Then I tool some clear glue to fill in that area.
Not yet but if I see one in my area, I’ll 100% put it on my list! I’m pretty new to the Tampa area so I’m yet to know of any road courses that have days open to the public.
Don’t let the fool you about Dexos oil. The majority of API rated 5w30 oils on Walmarts shelf are Dexos rated. The labor and quantity is where they get you in price. GM also started recommending Mobil 1 super car 0w40 which is more expensive but not required unless you beat the car every time you drive it or track it a lot.
how much insurance do you pay for a v8 i had a v6 camaro before im looking to upgrade cant be that much of a difference can it?? plus im over 25 now so its time to renegotiate that
Also forgot to ask, Does yours make a ticking noise when accelerating that is more apparent in tour mode from inside the cabin? That’s the only thing I’ve been trying to figure out. Like something behind the gauge cluster almost.
True but I don’t get oil changes every month lol I actually found a place that “only” charges $130 so I’ll probably stick with them since 10q of oil and filter alone cost almost $80 plus the price of a jack, stands, and disposal pan. Appreciate the comment!
Wow as Americans we are talking about how many oil changes. Wait till 1 of your daytime running lamps go out. Major problem with camaros. Oh yeah if your drl goes out the cost is $1800. Yes that is true. Had to replace thermostat at 74k miles. 600 to 700 dollars. Love the handles and looks. Going foreign. Done with lazy Chevrolet. Be good.
I have 255 wide sticky tires on so it’s just about as stable as an SS but before, it would spin pretty bad off the line if you were trying a 0-60 but in regular driving I never had any issues.
How much is your payment? You didn't do any performance testing or compare it to an SS or and RS V6. I have a 2020 Camaro V6 6 speed manual. $325 payment 2.5% $130 insurance (clean rec) $455 and uses 87 octane. Next time please go over the difference in sound of engine with ypur NPP quad exhaust. Does it have race mode? (MY car has NPP quad exhaust but non RS/SS do not have "race" mode in the exhaust but not sure on LT1). Can I get an LT1 with a SS spoiler and a 6 speed? Do the rear brakes have CAMARO by Brembo calipers? No offense. You are very likeable in ypur video but you went on and on in monotone. Not much fun info about different modes or even some fun driving. 🤔
@@WTFCRLT1 dang best ive gotten is 17 on average. Ive only owned mine a couple months so my foot gets really heavy still. I averaged 9mpg the first week I got it lmao. I have the 6 spd though so I dont have active fuel management which I really prefer not to have. you can get a tune and get rid of it on yours too if you prefer to get rid of it.
I have to ask a few things 1. no rear camera mirror on these LT1s? 2. is the dual exhaust mode noticeable since these LT1 models don't have track? or are they louder than the single outlet exhausts?
There is a rev limiter at idle or in neutral on the automatic transmission camaros for 6th gen so the engine literally wont go above 3000rpm. If you buy manual thats not a problem since they dont rev limit or do the weird active fuel management. If you end up going automatic you can get those removed during a tune.
The AFM is a garbage system. If you want to keep that car long term you really should tune it to shut off AFM or get a range device. Pretty fair chance one or more of your lifters will collapse and not return to their 8 cylinder position which will wipe out pushrods and the cam.
@@kingsworld8903basically 4 of your cylinders are just spinning, they’re not active until you get on the gas. This causes a lot of premature wear on the lifters and camshaft. It’s not a matter of IF, but WHEN. Pretty much anybody with one of these cars does a cam swap with the DOD delete

Glad I could help brother good luck with the car! 👍🏼
Hey super helpful thanks! Oil change price surprised me,
Yes the wind noise is a thing! Thought I was the only one. I hear it on my ‘18 SS as well.
Love the review. I have a 2022 with six speed manual. I'm ripping the highway.
Thanks man hope you enjoy the car! Sounds sick 👍🏼

What’s the difference from leasing and Finance
@@Unknownuser12356 For a lease it’s not your car it’s pretty much like renting a car. You have to return it. But financing you are purchasing the vehicle in monthly payments. It’ll be yours after finishing paying it
Bro don't lease it. You don't own it. It's a stupid financial decision. It's basically renting it
Just got a 2021 red hot lt1 rs just like yours hope yours is still going great

Keep in mind the 10 quarts of 0W40 mobile one is $10 a quart so just an oil alone or over $100
Does the car rev past 3K rpm when in neutral? Or can you pull up on both paddle shifters when driving to rev?
Video on how much maintenance is on this car ?
whirling noise is from the mirror design outside the car. Love my LT1!
I had a whistle sound that I fixed on another car. I took some painters tape and put it on the seam on the mirror till sound stopped. Then I tool some clear glue to fill in that area.
Have you participated in a road course track day yet? I hoping to take my 2022 LT1 later this summer.
Not yet but if I see one in my area, I’ll 100% put it on my list! I’m pretty new to the Tampa area so I’m yet to know of any road courses that have days open to the public.
I’m averaging 21.2 in my ZL1. I don’t drive it like a maniac most of the time.
That’s really good!

What problems are you having ?

Also forgot to ask, Does yours make a ticking noise when accelerating that is more apparent in tour mode from inside the cabin? That’s the only thing I’ve been trying to figure out. Like something behind the gauge cluster almost.
Nah no ticking noise. Just the chirp from the AFM and an occasional wine noise while engine braking in 4Cyl mode.
That may be the high pressure fuel pump and the GDI injectors. As i'm pretty sure this is a GDI engine.
$766.00 * oil change $200.00 = $966.00. whatever else you should buy a BMW. Great job explaining costs. Thanks

I pay $128 a month for full coverage insurance!
I heard the new stickshift Camaro's ave this feature where it will only let you go from 1st to fourth unless you drive aggressively. Is this correct?
You’re correct but it only does it if you don’t go over 2200 rpm In 1st gear!
2200 a year is outrageous
Hello,
What was the price on the car in 2021?
What options?
I’m conceding getting on and I’m curious if the 10 speed auto pulls harder then the 2018 Camaro ss auto
Maybe by like 1% but it’s probably not a noticeable difference unless you’re racing or recording times
The 2018 was an 8-speed right?

yea gm used to be good along time ago
GM is A over priced Old Car Company. Outdated
y’all think going FOREIGN (depends on brand) is better?
Does it ever spin out our anything? Or pretty grippy?

nice car my dude! looks like a good daily driver. hows the fuel economy?
Thanks man! I personally get 22.7 mpg combined which is awesome. I do a decent amount of HWY driving but I also spend a ton of time idling.

So that $215 dollar oil change, hmm - maybe not so bad when non factory shops end up bending your door frame.
I spent around $150 to get mine done in texas. Full synthetic
23mpg? I have a 1SS 10spd. Never averaged over 20mpg unless doing only highway miles.
I have to ask a few things
1. no rear camera mirror on these LT1s?
2. is the dual exhaust mode noticeable since these LT1 models don't have track? or are they louder than the single outlet exhausts?
No rear camera mirror but the dual mode exhaust is a must. I made the mistake of cheaping out on that on my 2022 SS. It’s worth the extra 1000$
what do you meam by 3000rpm limit
There is a rev limiter at idle or in neutral on the automatic transmission camaros for 6th gen so the engine literally wont go above 3000rpm. If you buy manual thats not a problem since they dont rev limit or do the weird active fuel management. If you end up going automatic you can get those removed during a tune.
Clean up those rims with some black lug nuts.
Can you get the a 8 cylinder without AFM?
Not with the automatic. Manuals don’t have afm but they use skip shift instead
Thank you. You did a great review. I was a Mustang guy but the Camero is a better car I think.
The AFM is a garbage system. If you want to keep that car long term you really should tune it to shut off AFM or get a range device.
Pretty fair chance one or more of your lifters will collapse and not return to their 8 cylinder position which will wipe out pushrods and the cam.
Chevrolet needs to keep making the Camaro. Just make a single trim V8, and update the interior, and people will buy it.
It isnt that it wasnt being bought. Its that they had a silicon shortage for the ECU's and they had to prioritize other higher selling cars
I blew my clutch on my lt1 at 10k miles 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
My fault 100% tho 🤣🤣🤣 oh and I also blew my engine that was covered under warranty but not my clutch lmao
@@CAM62633 Damm bro how much do pay to get it fixed though
You kids get screwed on car insurance.
you wont complain about the 4 cylinder mode?
ok, enjoy the complimentary lifter failure after the warranty expires
I literally just said the same thing. My G8 got destroyed.

under 300/mo for a 24 yr old NO WAY!!! I am at 410 at age 50, flawless recrd.
And You Paid For That Oil? I Would've Lost My Shit On The SM And Paid The Original Price
Shutting down to 4 cylinders will eventually destroy your GM product. It kills their trucks and destroyed my G8. Look it up.
so what should I do to prevent? keep it at v8?
