Is the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro RS 1LE muscle car WORTHY?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- The Camaro has been a performance icon from Chevrolet for decades. Many people associate the Camaro for being an amazing muscle car because of it's V8. This 2021 RS 1LE wants to change your mind. The 1LE Pkg adds a ton of extras for the money. On the outside you get a satin black hood, lower lip extension, forged wheels, bigger brakes and rear spoiler. On the inside you will find an Alcantara wrapped steering wheel, shift knob, and shift boot. Under the hood of the RS 1LE is a 3.6L V6 that is pumping out 335HP & mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Is the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro RS 1LE muscle car WORTHY?

I love when you review cars like this. Not the fastest and most expensive but a sleeper in the middle of the pack.
I’m so glad that I can bring it to you!
@@RaitisRides that's not to much money lol
@@bearlogangaming No shit
Right👍🏾
@Raiti's Ride I was wondering if this 3lt that you've reviewed had the same fokrt calipers as the C8 for the rs package.
Mine is also a 2021 3lt rs and my front Brembo look like the c8's z51 front caliper
He couldn't wind it out because it's new and not broke in. But let me tell you, that DOHC V6 is a gem of an engine and screams out the most glorious V6 sound you'll ever hear unless you can afford an Italian exotic. Not only does it sound amazing at high revs, but it has more than enough power to carve up back roads. If you love to drive, I mean really drive, not just stomp the pedal at stoplights, then the V6 is BETTER than the V8. You've got to work that manual transmission to get the performance so it's more rewarding than the V8. Bonus: less risk of jail time, lower insurance, and less gas.
Owner of a 2019 convertible. The v6 is the best sounding v6 on the market. Yes sir.
I hope you will hit 1 million subscribers next year Raiti. You deserve it for all this content you make and take time on.
Amen!
Thanks brother! That is the plan! I can do it with your help and everyone else's.
@@TheCarKrazeOfficial You are the man!
At least keep the ZL1
@@HushTheMyth that would be nice!
From a Mustang guy it's ashame they will be discontinuing the Camaro.Its definitely has its place in the muscle car world.Nice job to chevy on this one.
Maybe they're canceling the camaro and will bring back the chevelle. It sounds crazy but chevy needs a muscle car in their lineup. And why not the chevelle? It was very significant back in the day
@@blackice7408 that would be cool if the Chevelle came back. Nice to see the trans am coming back even thou the price tag is insane.
@@formulasaltythunder4806 it is? Where? When? And how much?
@@blackice7408 I believe next year. At least 100,000. It looks really cool but for that price I would get something else.
@@formulasaltythunder4806 is it the one thats supposed to have the 7.4 liter v8 with over 800 hp
I would get this as a daily.
No
YEEES!!!
Yes
Exactly!!
Awwwwww....God may i be rich and buy these cars after every release.... Amen
Haha in due time
You don't have to be rich for this v6 brother...
I just picked up my new 21 RS from my dealer about 2 weeks ago (I ordered it back in September). I love it. The V6 with the 10 speed auto drives great. Thanks for sharing this 1LE Raiti!
The 10 speed is so fast 💨 & smooth
@@felcherbloom482 Sure is
These cars are slept on. I know it's not an SS but that V6 rips and the handling, it's a great car. You can find these new around 25k.
I totally agree with you!
I had to check that price and it's much lower than I thought - a good deal 👍
AGREED
I don't know why people keep harping about the 6th Gen Camaro's "blind spot". I bought a new SS in 2016 and by the time I had properly adjusted the mirrors and driven it home from the dealer (70 miles) I was completely accustomed to it, no problems. 4300 miles later, still a non-issue.
it has 6 windows not a problem.
You sold me on the 2020 Mustang Shelby GT 500 , and the car's you show people who watch you, are buying them , Yes Sir, Yes your that Great with your channel, so here's to you Sir !! And thanks again for the Mustang GT 500 a truly incredible driving experience 2nd to none !
Thanks for letting me share my car passion with you Lee!
Thank you Sir, for your help sincerely Lee Morgan
This is a really cool color!!! It's sad to hear that Camaros are getting discontinued in 2022 but I think they will comeback again in the future better than ever just like the 5th Gen in 2010!
I said 500k till 01.01.2021. Ok, maybe it will not happen, but 1 million till 2022 - I’m absolutely sure, because you are doing the most useful content. I really appreciate you for this. And your wonderful wife too. Thank you for your awesome job and inspiring people thinking about new car
Love the color. It may not have a V8 but it’s waaay better than the ‘87 Camaro I had with a 2.8L V6 135 hp 5 speed manual. Back then it was pretty cool and fun to drive. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Ohhhh. I wasn’t sure if the RS 1LE existed! Glad to know now 👍
I am so glad that I can bring it to you!
Someone mentioned to me on another video that when you option the 1le it includes the rs appearance package as well.🤔is that true???
What a coincidence I just was at a car meet with a 1le camaro doing a burnout 😅 I have a vid coming to my channel soon about it and it was awesome
That is serendipity!
i just bought me one, an absolute sleeper. i have gapped V8s
Best and funnest car reviewer on UA-cam no lie.
Thanks for letting be share the laughs and cars with you! I appreciate the support!
That thing sounds pretty damn good!!!!
I agree with you!
Lori, great camera op. I'm impressed with the 1LE V6, as well, the 335 hp rivals many old school muscle cars.
Good looking car. In my opinion gotta go with the V8 but to each his/her own. It’s a shame Chevy is discontinuing it. Thanks for the review joe!
Great points! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Best reviewer hands down, competition is not even close. You give a little brief history and you make sure we understand what the car IS. 👏 best of the best
This new color for 2021 is really popping in the sunlight 5:50
there she is!!! in the rear fender. getting down low for that shot.
You have good eyes brother!
Only Joe, a Real driver and auto aficionado, can give you the best review with true automotive experience you need! Mustang guy here but really nice car overall. Love the color and black shaped hood.
The camero looks the best out of the mustang and the challenger hope it makes a come back
Fingers crossed!

No. Just no.
I like the Camaro but the challenger is far better
@@nickvogt2918 the problem is Fiat customer service
perfect for me! Great car. I have a 3.6 in my car and I'm always surprised by the acceleration.
As the former owner of a 1994 Camaro RS, I loved this review. To be honest, it's a great daily driver and it looks super nice with the RS 1LE extra goodies.
Thanks for letting me share it with you Mario!
You should see about adding the E-Force Supercharger from Edelbrock. Mine not only has that awesome engine sound...but an entirely new sound of the Eaton TVS 1.74 liter Supercharger. In my custom (not the Edelbrock tune; and thanks Chris Brewer who also tuned cars for Gas Monkey Garage, etc.)
435RWHP (150 more than the 276RWHP of the stock 3.6). I also added the Bilstein B-14 PSS front and rear adjustable suspension that makes it a road warrior that still get 30mpg on the highway if you have the stick (I do) and you use 6th gear on cruise control, you can see 30mpg. I was only able to get 27mpg, but in a almost 500 hp (SAE NET V6 Camaro. More HP is possible. But I have
Stock intake, stock exhaust....much pull. I just left RS on the car. It now means:

It's why I like his reviews a lot more than others. He's very educational. No other has this style than him. Idk why that Doug guy gets million of views.
That V6 sounds good, has a European tone to it.

It sounds gay then.

Oh no, that is just wrong. No electric camaro dude!

Love the muscle car reviews 🔥
I had a feeling you would like this one.
I plan on getting either the LT1 or the 1LE SS when I get back to the states, in Germany rn with a 16 RS 6 gen and love it
I'm still loving the Camaros alot just like I said before.
I enjoyed this video I love the 1le the engine cover I do zonk and the hard plastic on the door 🚪 thank you Joe and thank you camera worker really did a good job noticed from gate. God bless glad you mentioned who it was :D
Never really took much notice towards a RS, but Chevy really gave this package some serious presence. From the front end to the rear this car is sexy, but that side view in this color package is in a class all by itself.
My dream muscle car! Awesome job Joe.
Does the Wild Cherry color really look this beautiful in person????
Looks better
Love your test drives Joe. There is the EPA City/Highway numbers and then there are the Joe Raiti numbers!
Thanks Robert! They are called the ON THROTTLE numbers! LOL
I have a '17 Camaro SS but I've considered getting a V6 Camaro M6 as a daily to replace my current (old) daily. For the money and performance you get, I think the V6 M6 Camaro would be a good choice for a fun daily that isn't terribly expensive.
My 84 Z28 had the exciting 190hp 5.0HO...that HO couldn't blow away this 335hp V6...and no worries about too much junk in the trunk...no room!..nice review!
Here is my prediction, you’ll reach 1 Million subs by May or June, mind my words
Thanks for believing in me!
Never thought I would consider a V6 until now
Yeah bro it’s got close to 350hp stock and sounds great. That exhaust note is really good it sounds close to a v8. And with the suspension/brakes of the ss on top of it being a manual. This car would be super fun as a daily with plenty of power to have fun and go fast with decent gas mileage still. You can always put a supercharger on it and get 500-600hp for the same cost as a regular v8 ss altogether. You’d Save money on insurance on top of that it’s a no brainer lol.
Bro I got a v6 I have mine up to 385 hp n when I tell u I love it u can race any car beside the cat but it’s definitely a keeper
I have a UA-cam channel check it out
This package is way sweet!
Extra coolings, active exhaust, wheels, breaks, suspension, alcantara knob and wheel... man!!!
@@hatchell18 Good info , what about the engine reliability and manual transmission on long run , will it last at least 5 years ? if not abuse them off course
I'm trying to decide between this or an Ecoboost High Performance Mustang.
I would go this.
@@RaitisRides Thanks for replying!
This camaro RS 1LE is the best bang for the buck coming from a owner of one
I think both are excellent but the Camaro V6 wins on sound with the quad exhaust (comes with 1LE). I do love the Mustang, not sure there is a bad choice, personally, I would go Camaro but not by a lot.
🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏼
Man people be sleeping on those V6s lol I be leaving hemis in my 3.6
That is a very good point!
What???!!!!! Its the end of camaros? 🥺 their my dream car
It really is readiculous!
@@RaitisRides man...... That's really crazy!!! What will they have to compete with ford and dodge? Camaro sales couldn't have been that bad
Dream much MUCH bigger.
@@heffaazul nahh i think I'm good
Id love to see more V6 and 4C auto camaros Mr. RaitiRides. I absolutely love your videos and your opinion & take on things. Thank you for doing what you do and I hope you have an amazing end to your 2020.
This is the only car enthusiast that actually makes it interesting to watch and tell you everything about the car , and makes me laugh
Really want to like the Camaro's but its the only car I've driven with poor forward visibility. It may not be "terrible" but I want the forward view to be confidence inspiring and it certainly isn't.
V-6 is my ideal. This is a Camaro I'd be happy with. Nice and steady with the camera, Lori! Thanks for this review, Joe, always look forward to your vids
The 4cylinder 1LE is rarer than the v6 lol.
Should put the 2.7T in for the "Final Edition" of the 6th gen.
If your gonna go with a 1le without the v8 might as well go with the turbo4. The weight savings will make up for the lower power and you’ll get better mileage. That’s the car I’m interested in. If your not gonna have track days and use it as a daily driver, seems to make sense. It still looks very cool.
Great Video..Love Camaros, had a few.. ( Grew Up G.M Strong )... But I gotta say-> "Can't wait for the New Nissan 400Z" !!!
Thanks for saying that! I can't wait for the 400Z either!
Too bad most wont even realize that Chevy built and delivered the Z car/Supra variant that we all wanted with a lusty NA v6 and great chassis for a price that's not hype driven insanity. Thinking about picking up a used Chevy 350 Z as a daily. Great NA revs and great chassis=:):):) per dollar. Especially if you already have that blown v8 lurking in your garage.
Man that's a beautiful color
I totally agree with you!
Looks brutal. Still longing for the day when i can actually own one. Thanks for another great review Joe.
You are so very welcome! You can make it happen!
The new Camaro is something that when people found out it was going to be the final generation of the muscle car era Chevrolet said it going bankrupt can't let that happen they should always keep up making new muscle car because it represent from the old school legends from back in the day Chevy should definitely stay stronger on the market and the business because we love Chevrolet
Now you’re talking. Yes we want to keep seeing muscle cars. :) Love the exterior colors on this one. $34k doesn't sound too bad compared to some other prices I've been seeing lately. I don't dance as well as you Joe so I'd have to get an automatic. Fantastic review. Thank you !!!
You don't like the Buick Encore more? LOL
@@RaitisRides - Some guy named Joe has me looking at muscle cars. 😀 Before your videos I didn’t care what car I drove. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 👍
@@LeadfootLou of course my friend! Thank you for also letting me share my passion.
Shifting is just practice, like anything else. If you always get the auto, you'll never learn or improve :)
Dam dude you pump so many videos i can't keep up that's a good thing
2021 3lt trim has no less than 19 packages., told the wife i was thinking of getting the black wheel and nut package ,her reply ," go for it if it includes a extension"
You're so awesome in reviewing cars, Joe! Hope you hit 1M subscribers soon.
🇵🇭
Thanks for the honest reviews of all the cars you come in contact with. I find your knowledge incredibly useful. I always laugh at the Twinkies references, too 😂
Question for the V-6: How do you feel about cold-air intakes? I think this engine with a CAI (and an after-market performance exhaust) would give it a louder roar and more power to the back wheels for more fun on the twisties. I'm curious about your thoughts on this.
Thanks again for the great reviews!
its a must, it improves throttle response a lot too.
I wished they would have -at least made it a V8. Since we are entering the end of the series. Go out with a bang
The 1Le package comes on the v8 too.
Sad thing is the RS camaro from back in the day had a V8 Chevy playing
@@arnoldbass8709 the 305 TBI in those 3rd gen RSs may as well have been v6s.
@@arnoldbass8709 You can get an lt1 RS as well.
@@jimmypena2442 ima jus keep the 2013 RS camaro the new 1s don’t catch my eye
I had a 3rd Gen Trans am and when I replaced it with my Charger Daytona I looked at the Camaro. Really wanted to like it but roof is too low and trunk too small. GM destroyed the Camaro themselves if they raised the roof a bit and cut the trunk different they could have had a hit on their hands. The practicality issues killed this thing. By the way great job as always Joe!!!
Should bring back the Monte Carlos SS T Top
Chevelle SS id love to see them back it’s time to bring back the Old Schools
I think GM needs some new people on the design team b4 they do that. Cant be like the last couple of monte Carlos’s they made 🤦♂️
Great content as always. Best car reviewer on UA-cam
Thanks Cory! You are the man!
I would like to see one with a front nose stripe like some of the 67 to 69 have
Those 6th gen V6s are almost as fast as a 5th gen SS.
I heard they are faster
Doubtful.
They’re faster than the 5th gen SS
I have been looking at 1le v6 Camaro's for a while now, kind of a unique gem, and affordable track day car
Honestly if your getting the 1le for the Rs ... just get the SS and up ( few thousand dollars extra).
I enjoy watching your reviews joe! 19’ Scat Pack owner here💪
Hi bang for buck ratio on that one. Just wish the roof didn’t have that 3-4 inch chop! I’ve rented a few and I see better out of my Deuce Coupe (a mere 2 inch chop) 😂
Wassup joe and the squad
Hey Jesus! How are you?
"you wanna piss everybody off? Just make it a little louder!"
Hell Yeah!
That's how we do it!
Remember the 1LE V6 Camaro was quicker around some tracks than the 15-18 MY Mustang GT. Despite it being down 100hp and 100+ lb ft of tq.
As always great review. Minor correction: the SS has 6 piston calipers not 4, so the RS has the same brake set up as a Cadillac CTS VSport not the Camaro SS.
Thanks for that info.
This is exactly what I would want to own but in an automatic because I drive a few 100 miles a day in the city for work. Beautiful car. If I didnt drive in the city so much I would go manual tho.
I went to a dealership my friend works at and online the label it as a 6.2L V8 I haven’t checked the engine yet
I wouldn't want to keep telling myself, "I could have had a V8!"
I know how you feel!
Very nice Camaro Joe they need to keep the Camaro around this car is a legend
I think that's a sweet looking car.
I’m so glad that you like it Andrew.
Ive got a 2018 camaro with this engine. Ive had it since 2020, and i still love it. Ive had several v8 pony cars in the past and i promise if you've had even like a gen 1 coyote, this car is pretty dead even performance wise.
I’ll say camero is my 3rd favorite muscle car. The looks for the car is on point. The color for this car is amazing. For a v6, it’s still an awesome car. Just sucks that it will be discontinued.
I'm not a Camaro guy, I love this car!
Camaro my favorite ride .... good one Joe .... GM should have offered the 3.0L Twin Turbo V-6 like they offer in the Caddy ... I'd even like the 2.7L Turbo 4 cylinder optioned in a trim level ...
You always find the rare gems, kudos my friend! 👍🏁
I should buy this and rock a mullet before I go bald.
I tried the Subaru WRX but the vaping beat on my lungs...
Joe, could you review the newer Dodge vans and tell us how much duct tape, tarps and candy they hold.
RS 1le is a best legit muscle car you can buy just depends on the option package performance to go for a race track or even drag strip
I agree with ya Joe, love the '80s camaros!
Honestly you’re only losing 100 ish HP one the LT However like you said you are losing weight and that adds up on a road course
100 hp is a lot. So is the $200 every month that you save
6:11 those brake callipers look like they belong on a shopping cart 😅
There brembo
great review!! this guy is very good ! a lot energy and everything!!! subscribed!!!!
The sound and the color of this car are amazing! =]
It’s not worthy, it’s VERY WORTHY.. Not only it’s a beauty. Camaro’s being discontinued in a few years no matter the model down the road are going to be a collector’s item.
I am so glad that you like this one.
