Can't argue with the bang for the buck engine and performance. $35k for a 455hp V8, RWD performance chassis vs. $30k for a Honda Civic SI with 200hp, FWD. That's not a dig on the Honda.
@@dnegel9546 The worst part isn't even the higher price, its that they removed dual-zone automatic climate control, heated seats, electronically adjustable suspension, and multiple other features.

I just picked up a 2021 pre-owned base LT1 with 5k miles and absolutely love it! I was shocked by how comfortable the ride it!

This happened to me at the dealership. The price on the website was $36k, then when I went in and test drove it, the first figure they brought me after was $44k (with tax) due to "dealer-installed equipment" that apparently isn't included in the website price. Stuff like floormats, window tint, green tire caps because they put nitrogen in the tires, door protectors, and some security device that as far as I know doesn't exist. I wasn't having it and was able to negotiate down to the original website $36k price, and drove off the lot paying $39k total after taxes and fees. Despite the shitty dealership experience, I still think it was a bargain. Driving it around is incredible fun. If only premium wasn't $5/gallon right now haha.
Rs and Red Line package are different. Red Line gives you , the red of course .and red inside. Black wheels, the lower front extension piece (kind of like a splitter) A black spoiler and blacked out between tail lights. Black mirrors. And a red line on mirrors. And your supposed to have red marks on the left side below spoiler. This is the second Red Line Camaro I have seen like this, my LT1 has red striping on both sides below spoiler. The RS gives you. Signature LED lighting Dark tint taillamps Black front and rear bowtie emblems ,RS-specific front grilles Decklid-mounted lip spoiler, Since it's the LT you already get part of the RS package and that is the 40 profile tires and 20" wheels. The Camaro you show here is just like mine, same options. Mine is the Satin Steel Gray Metallic.
I got a 1SS about a year ago for around $35k. I think if you’re going to spend close to 40k, just try to get a 1SS with no options. For $45,000, you should be getting the 1SS 1LE track package with 295 tires in the front and 305s in the rear, Recaro seats, Alcántara shift knob, etc.
@@nickr8829 I've been trying to spec out a 1SS but I won't have it without the 1LE package ($7,000). The only options I've added are orange paint ($450) and lighted door protection sills ($410) and it comes to $46,500.
I have the plan jane single exhaust on my 2022 LT1 , initially I was disappointed with the lack of rumble, but once you punch it, it roars. So, I appreciate the stealthy idle and cruise more now. I also own a '05 GTO with SLP Loudmouth 2 catback, so glad the Camaro is more tame.
Why would anyone one spend 43k on the lt1 instead of just getting the SS? Might as well stretch the extra money to get the better looking front end and these options as standard lol
Might’ve been different a few months ago but the SS keeps going up in price, a low spec SS is running 48-50k now, especially in 2023 model years which price in increasing by 2k in the SS alone
The wheels and red trim are NOT part of the RS package. That is a redline package on that car. An LT1 with RS package and dual mode exhaust will run 41000 MSRP in the 10spd Automatic.
I’m a mopar guy but if you compare this LT1 to the R/T challenger in power to weight ratio the LT1 is still cheaper and it’s better buy because you get more power out of a 6.2 compared to the 5.7 hemi and you also get 10 gears instead of 8 and not to mention the LT1 is 700 pounds lighter than the challenger. So the answer is yes because you’re getting more bang for your buck in a LT1 compared to the R/T challenger and charger but in this video the car had 2 unnecessary options which is the redline edition and the RS package which made it cost over 40k. Here’s Ben video reviewing the R/T challenger and you will realize that the LT1 is still affordable and gives you more bang for your buck. ua-cam.com/video/ldsoJSw_Fr8/v-deo.html
I went through the same comparison. I'm trading in my 2013 challenger SXT plus. You need to buy the scat pack to outperform this LT1. I order a convertible LT1 with the leather seats and upgraded screen and speakers. Still cheaper than scat pack, and I just want to have a convertible once in my life.
@@paulh2282 I have a 2020 LT1 and I've beaten Scat Packs regularly. The Scat Pack's weight holds it back, and it doesn't handle nearly as well as the LT1. The only thing I fear is a Hellcat.
@@GearheadK20C4 My dads Charger Scat Widebody has beaten both GT's and LT1's/SS's all day. It all depends on how conscious a driver is lmao. Not to mention his car seats 5.
I have an LT on order but was able to keep the sticker just below $41 K. I tried optioning an SS but the sticker was higher than I wanted to spend. If you had left off all the gingerbread interior pieces and RS package your sticker would have been more reasonable. Mine includes Vivid Orange paint, 6-Speed, strut tower brace, center stripe, forged wheels w/chrome center caps, tech package, optional exhaust and machined pedals.
Camaros are nice. But drive a used Vette and any mustang before purchasing. You can feel why the Vette body sets it apart from any mustang or Camaro with a similar engine.
The video title is misleading. Yes, any car's price can balloon with lots of unnecessary options. The LT1 model is a great value, as long as you keep the configuration simple. For example, a base Porsche Boxster/Cayman can have $30k in options. The base LT1 model has plenty of standard features, such as 20" wheels, LED headlights, heated seats, etc. A base Challenger Scat Pack has ugly yellow halogen projectors, and is $4k more than an LT1 base price.
I don't think they have heated seats lol. They do have remote start on the A10 versions, as well as wireless apple carplay/android auto, power seats, brembo brakes up front, etc.
I am from Greece and i always wonder why in the U.S you drive automatic cars why there are no manual shift cars? Is it because of some law or some sort of it??
There are manual cars in the U.S., automatic transmissions are just more common because people are lazy and imo shifts quicker depending on the transmission unless the manual car has a driver mod.

Ain't sh!t affordable about any new car. Buying a new car in most households is a very contentious topic!! You may really need a new car. But, used is where we all go. Which ain't much cheaper...
Nope, used cars Def ain't cheap anymore as most of them are going for the price of a car NEW off the lot with zero miles so you're correct. What they're charging for the used market is insane, might as well go and spend $3-4,000 more for a brand new car.
Here's the problem... people don't know how to order them. The RS and Redline packages are a complete waste of money, for starters... Dual-mode, Bose, Recaros... those are the options that matter on this trim level. I ordered that in a Rapid Blue convertible with a tremec for $47k. Find another car on the planet with a 455hp V8, manual, convertible for under $50k... I'll wait.
Should’ve reviewed the six speed manual that’s the one that’s going to go up in value. Why? Because less than 13% of all Camaros are 6 speed manual transmission with a giant V-8 look your not going to be able to get these new in a few years when everything goes electric. And don’t give me that crap that the automatic is 2/10 of a second faster on the track you’re not going to track this car. Get the manual 6 speed. It’s more fun. With an automatic it drives you with a manual you drive the car.
no it’s not. Its a crazy price! In my country it costs 50k$ which is insane, compared to the mustang. This is no way near cheap and affordable for youngsters who want to have fun
Manuals are much slower and there is no resale market for a slower car bud…..they don’t make as many for a reason and they absolutely will not appreciate in value vs the A10
I own a Stinger and could have bought any american muscle car.I test drove them and what is unaffordable right now is 4 to 5 dollars in premium gas these cars DRINK.My stinger requires premium also but in comfort mode I can at least average 20 MPG--you could be at nearly half that in most of these cars--Dodge is the worst--the 392 is routinely about 2 MPG lower--and yes even foks that have the money for these cars take that into consideration--it can add thousands of dollars a year to the ownership costs.I cringe when I meet at the local gas station and people are putting regular gas in these.Also most of these cars are now well above 40k.They also need to AWD these cars--say what you want but it rains almsot everywhere in the US and sadly RWD is outright dangerous in the rain esepcially with this much HP.
I average 18 MPG around town with my 2020 Mustang GT 5.0 with 460HP and I don't drive like a grandpa. If you are worried about the price of gas, you buy a 4-cylinder econo car. The type of car in this video is a toy, hobby, or a passion; that's how you have to view it.
@@AStanton1966 I could have easily bought and american V* --even looked at a SRT Jeep--but fuel milegae can become a big cost--I am upper middle class--not rolling in money to blow several more thousands of dollars on gas.Also the must ang is the most frugal--the dodges are outright awful on fuel mileage.
The mpg of the Camaro is actually fantastic for what it is, up to 27 mpg highway. With cylinder deactivation and direct injection that could easily make it a daily driver without breaking the bank. How many SUV's on the road are in the same range? As far as AWD is concerned, that would literally ruin the appeal of the car. If you think RWD is dangerous then don't buy it. Most of us buy cars like this specifically looking for high HP and RWD for the thrill of it. If you don't know how to handle it then go buy a Civic. My SS performs exactly how I want it to, even in the rain, and the fact that I can get that performance along with some fantastic MPG for what it is, is a bonus. This car never lets me down when it comes to putting on a smile. If you want to save gas you only have to go light on the go pedal, which sounds easy.
@@LtDan-ni5rw Thats why I mentioned Dodge specifically.Like I said I have owned a few muscle cars in my life and tracked several times.The Stinger is a nice balance of comfort and performance.I also have almost 40k in the bank with what I saved on the Stinger.If I goto the track now--I just pay the extra 1k and get a race/GT car the tracks provide which are usually much faster then any stock cars folks bring.I know how to drive never wrecked 25 years no tickets--but RWD american cars and bimmers are some of the most dangerous on the road to the many untrained folks that buy them.
Nice review! I own this exact same car (except 2021). Love the fact that people think its "just a v6" until I step on the gas

Well I hadn't never drove a camro before so I think once the virus gose away aunt diana myself are going do alitttle car shopping and see what its like behind the wheel of a nice clean car that dont have much power now once thats time to start driving again iam not going show off drag racing or other things like that all I want to do is enjoy driving having fun and not worry about anything or anyone 🙂 😅 😊 😀 😉 😄
I got one
damn .... bought my 2018 1SS New after financing it's about a $34,000 car ...
Base 2020 1SS is $37,000+ I paid $33,300 plus TT and L came to $35,300 for a LT1 sticker was $36,300.
I paid$44,400 for a 1SS1LE 2021
It is cheaper - if it's bare to the white bone. Some ppl wanna build off of it and want other things to dress it up
Great looking car but for 43k might as well get a 1SS
Why? This car is quicker…
you can get so many options on a LT1 for under $45k when SS starts at $40 by time you add tax and options you will end up at $50k prob $52k
It is affordable but if add options on anything it’ll cost more
I just order a 3lt that came up to 50k the base cost is 37,500
Is anything these days actually affordable?
It’s Camaro LT1, not Camaro SS LT1. FYI
I lease my 2022 Lt1 for 320$ with 4000$ down
Nah I got 1 they made this extra affordable
This is basically a basic looking Camaro SS 🔥 bet people gone be like “nice V6 Camaro” then I take off on them
Ain't sh!t affordable about any new car. Buying a new car in most households is a very contentious topic!! You may really need a new car. But, used is where we all go. Which ain't much cheaper...
Nope, used cars Def ain't cheap anymore as most of them are going for the price of a car NEW off the lot with zero miles so you're correct. What they're charging for the used market is insane, might as well go and spend $3-4,000 more for a brand new car.
I think that’s a redline package
Here's the problem... people don't know how to order them. The RS and Redline packages are a complete waste of money, for starters... Dual-mode, Bose, Recaros... those are the options that matter on this trim level. I ordered that in a Rapid Blue convertible with a tremec for $47k. Find another car on the planet with a 455hp V8, manual, convertible for under $50k... I'll wait.
Imo if you want to option it out just go ahead and get a SS. This trim is meant to be barebones
Yeah that's what they say bro 😉😉🤩💋🤩😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Wait what, this is a 2022 ? Why does the interior look so outdated lol
$43K Is worth it!
This or 2021 Bentley continental GT W12
for the price of 43k of this one, i would just go with a SS
The key is leasing
16 is so low 🙄
That is a redline.
Should’ve reviewed the six speed manual that’s the one that’s going to go up in value. Why? Because less than 13% of all Camaros are 6 speed manual transmission with a giant V-8 look your not going to be able to get these new in a few years when everything goes electric. And don’t give me that crap that the automatic is 2/10 of a second faster on the track you’re not going to track this car. Get the manual 6 speed. It’s more fun. With an automatic it drives you with a manual you drive the car.
my ss was cheaper
no it’s not. Its a crazy price! In my country it costs 50k$ which is insane, compared to the mustang. This is no way near cheap and affordable for youngsters who want to have fun
100th comment😃
??? Excuse me?
Another one Ben 🤣😭😡
44000 car with cloth seats lolololololol ok
Too bad it has the automatic trans. No respect. Shoulda reviewed the 6-speed manual. Those are the ones that will go up in value.
Manuals are much slower and there is no resale market for a slower car bud…..they don’t make as many for a reason and they absolutely will not appreciate in value vs the A10
The car is in Iraq now
I own a Stinger and could have bought any american muscle car.I test drove them and what is unaffordable right now is 4 to 5 dollars in premium gas these cars DRINK.My stinger requires premium also but in comfort mode I can at least average 20 MPG--you could be at nearly half that in most of these cars--Dodge is the worst--the 392 is routinely about 2 MPG lower--and yes even foks that have the money for these cars take that into consideration--it can add thousands of dollars a year to the ownership costs.I cringe when I meet at the local gas station and people are putting regular gas in these.Also most of these cars are now well above 40k.They also need to AWD these cars--say what you want but it rains almsot everywhere in the US and sadly RWD is outright dangerous in the rain esepcially with this much HP.
I get 19 mpg combined with my manual LT1.
I average 18 MPG around town with my 2020 Mustang GT 5.0 with 460HP and I don't drive like a grandpa. If you are worried about the price of gas, you buy a 4-cylinder econo car. The type of car in this video is a toy, hobby, or a passion; that's how you have to view it.
@@AStanton1966 I could have easily bought and american V* --even looked at a SRT Jeep--but fuel milegae can become a big cost--I am upper middle class--not rolling in money to blow several more thousands of dollars on gas.Also the must ang is the most frugal--the dodges are outright awful on fuel mileage.
The mpg of the Camaro is actually fantastic for what it is, up to 27 mpg highway. With cylinder deactivation and direct injection that could easily make it a daily driver without breaking the bank. How many SUV's on the road are in the same range? As far as AWD is concerned, that would literally ruin the appeal of the car. If you think RWD is dangerous then don't buy it. Most of us buy cars like this specifically looking for high HP and RWD for the thrill of it. If you don't know how to handle it then go buy a Civic. My SS performs exactly how I want it to, even in the rain, and the fact that I can get that performance along with some fantastic MPG for what it is, is a bonus. This car never lets me down when it comes to putting on a smile. If you want to save gas you only have to go light on the go pedal, which sounds easy.
@@LtDan-ni5rw Thats why I mentioned Dodge specifically.Like I said I have owned a few muscle cars in my life and tracked several times.The Stinger is a nice balance of comfort and performance.I also have almost 40k in the bank with what I saved on the Stinger.If I goto the track now--I just pay the extra 1k and get a race/GT car the tracks provide which are usually much faster then any stock cars folks bring.I know how to drive never wrecked 25 years no tickets--but RWD american cars and bimmers are some of the most dangerous on the road to the many untrained folks that buy them.
