I have the 2021 LT1 and I can’t say enough good things about it. It has more than enough power and is surprisingly comfortable as a daily driver. Glad I purchased it when I did.
Same here bud. My '21 is Riverside Blue, what color is yours? Got mine end of 21 for a tremendous deal and 1.95% int rate. You'll never again be able to buy a mid-low 12sec car of this pedigree, for mid 30K's. Those days are gone. Long live the Camaro.
@@denialma I’m so jealous of you guys 😂 I wanted the LT1 last year but since we’re basically In a recession right now I couldn’t afford it I had to settle for the base model lol
Same here. I ordered mine July 2020 and picked up in October. I’ve done a muffler delete with 4 inch pipes going into dual 4 inch tips. Added aftermarket leather and a new shift boot.
I’m a Fiat 500 guy, and I’m gonna miss seeing the back of the Camaro every time they pass me. Luckily for me there are tons of cars I can still admire from behind. 🚗💨 🐌❓
Heat extractor looks good for this trim. Just wish Chevy would continue this in a limited production edition just to keep it around rather than go full electric but here we go
Had my 2022 LT1 for almost a year now, best decision ever. From the cold start to daily drives to the revs, crackles and pops 🔥🔥🔥 always puts a smile on my face. Definitely gonna be missed 🤧🥲 but glad I got me one 🏎️💨🤪
I really respect the direction the Camaro was taken, with handling as a priority. A complete shame sales weren't reflective of this. Was planning on getting a Miata but now I'm looking at my finances and seeing if it could swing one of these with the V8.
Sales fell off cuz they ruined the front end design, it looks so bad now like a Chinese Transformers rip-off, go for a 2016-2018 Camaro SS for around $30k way better value than a new LT1!
I have an LT1 and my wife has a Miata GT RF. Both are a blast in different ways. The Camaro wins in HP but the miata handles WAYY better. The LT1 handles great but don’t buy a Camaro thinking it will handle like the miata because it’s just not possible physically due to the weight difference.
I just bought a 2023 Lt1 jet black with the same rims but silver and I gotta say I’m proud of myself how far I’ve come and it’s my first Camaro! Timing couldn’t be more perfect, test drive one then you’re hooked! Safe travels everybody take care 🤘🏻✌🏼
I remember back in 2016-2017 you could get a Camaro for 20-30% off msrp, it was called the red tag event. A 1SS with the A8 and magnetic ride could be had from $42k msrp to around $33k, around $37k out the door. Crazy how expensive the 6th gen got throughout the years. You could get a 1SS for cheaper back then than an LT1 now, better days for sure!
I have a '22 LT-1 6-speed in Satin Steel. Love this car more than any I've ever owned. I plan on keeping it as long as I can. If you go easy on the options, you can still get one for under $40k.
The Camaro will always live on forever despite production coming to an end next year. This one looks great the color is cool, the LT1 packs power, is fun to drive, and a strong competitor. Thanks for bringing us some Chevy goodness through the lens and the on throttle action!
More like driving under the kitchen table. Always preferred the upright driving position of the Mustang. The Mustang is a good everyday driver, the Camaro is not.
Look at the 1SS. You can get the same options but the sunroof as this for cheaper. Also you'll get wider rear tires. Which you'll need. Food for thought.
I got an LT1, traded in my jetta. I’m happy with the square 245 setup (and mine was optioned to 41k, not 45) but I agree the SS is also a great option for not much more. Get one while you can! Coming from a FWD sedan you’ll be blown away!
Been in the LT1 covertable for over 6 months. Super great car with power to spare. Has that exaust note that is crazy nice sounding and crackling. Top down is an extreme experience in this. That sound is nuts when getting on it.
Loving the shark skin color and I’ve gotta agree with you on the heat extractor. Stretch it further up the hood. Love the camaro. They’ve come a long way from my 89’ 5.7 IROC-Z that I loved so much!
Congrats! I just had my 2023 2SS1LE, Rapid Blue, 6 spd manual, delivered on Friday March 10th. Finished organizing all interior space (although a bit more challenging than in most other cars). But I've become good at maximizing the available space in all my cars. For me, it's always fun planning, and ultimately implementing upon taking delivery. Enjoy your new ride! I know I will...
@@ELJefeReviews Great choice on the color by the way! Yes, colors will always be subjective, but I fell in love with Rapid Blue. I like a color that kinda slaps you in the face. Perhaps silly, but as good as the Camaro is, (and as good as it looks), if they didn't offer Rapid Blue, I'm not sure I would've gone through with the purchase. Also, Rapid Blue, IMO, really accentuates the cars beautiful lines/sculpting, etc. Obviously, stealth ISN'T an option...LOL!
I bought a 2024 LT1. I traded in a 2017 Grand Sport Corvette. Loved the vette my 2nd one but this car is awesome no regrets. One feature over looked is the same size 20 inch wheels all the way around with "all season" run flat tires for a smoother ride. My 2017 Grand Sport had only 6 tires available (summer only) for it but the Camaro has 90 and 80 of them are non run flats.
Car sounds great. The Sharkskin gray looks great and also similar to the Shark Gray metallic on my C7, perhaps a shade lighter. I really like the wheels on this too. It's a shame they are doing away with the Camaro - hopefully when it returns it's not electric and it would also be nice to see them base it on a 3rd or 4th gen car design wise.
Reserved an allocation for a 2024 2SS 6 speed a few days ago, first on the list in my area. Can’t wait. Had a factory ordered 2022 2SS and sold it to help with my condo down payment but miss it so bad, such a phenomenal car. Great review!
I own a 22 model thanks to raiti :) chose it over the mustang and its not disappointing what so ever. 40k otd price with options… with 455hp 10speed! Its an absolute weapon of a sports car at such a budget price
Exactly like the LT1 I got a month ago, same color and setup except for no sunroof and base seats on mine. Also I have a flat black rear spoiler and side mirrors instead of body color. Car has been amazing, drive it almost an hour to work each way, getting 23.5 mpg avg combined and that's in sport mode the whole 2000 miles. I have been getting on it here and there too not nursing it along and also idling while eating lunch for the heat. Only thing I felt needed changing were the stock run flats, the ride quality was a bit crashy and I felt there was excessive tramlining with those Goodyears. Put on Continental DWS ExtremeContact all seasons and completely eliminated those issues, a dream to drive anywhere now except over the worst Detroit roads.
Joe and Lori were the only ones (who I subscribe to) to do a video of the 2023 Camaro SS 1LE from the Detroit Auto show and it was a blast. Thank you for doing another LT1 review. I have my 22 and worth every penny.
Dear God. I cannot wait till this electrification craze blows over and we go back to producing ICE for true enthusiasts. I hope the Mustang sales will bring reason to GM and Chrysler
@@dallasfrost1996 Amen. Just to put things into words: Even environment conscious Germans are not going full EV and are actually pushing back against government regulations to ban ICE by 2030 in Europe.
I am an RCF owner and have the highest respect for the Camaro. Such a great value for the money. My all-time favorite is of course the Z/28. It is end of an era.
I have a V6 ordered in this color since way back in September of last year. Don't judge, it's my only car so I need to drive it in all weather conditions, and in New Jersey traffic, so that's why I stick with the V6. Still enough power for me, but damn, this sounded nice. This video earned you another subscriber here. Gonna miss the Camaros when they're gone and hopefully the next gen isn't some electric version because that's just not the same. Great review.
Great review!!! I currently own 4 Mustangs and really hope to buy a new one of these before they’re gone. I like the LT1 package because it seems more raw and the Recaros are a must. I hope it works out.
Who here was looking at this video for the V8, but changed their mind to an EV because of the Nissan “EV” commercial? “Because of how it pins you to your seat” Me neither. Nice video as always, Raiti!!!!
Recently got my hands on a 22 lt1 at 22 years old and absolutely love it. Has the design package 2, rs package, dual mode exhaust, tech package, and sunroof. Promised myself id get one before they were discontinued and made it happen
27 mpg on the highway !!!! Incredible. I love this car, even better without that sunroof and those seats. I'm the "best bang for the buck" guy. Thanks Joe.
You read my mind, Joe! I've been thinking about this vehicle a lot lately. For the money, I don't believe you can find a better deal on entry-level performance.
Yup nailed it. Want one, same color but need red interior and black mirrors. Going on the configuration page to build one! Need a manual tho. Great vid!
I’m graduating from cdl school next month and this was my dream car! I will finally be able to afford this now with my real job! My graduation gift to me!
This model is a sleeper we had one in our Showroom last summer .we had 2 white & Red . The red was around for about 48 hours. White one around for about 3 weeks . Underrated model of Camaro.
I've had my '21 LT1 for about 15 months. I'm in Chicago, the car rests in a garage and doesn't come out unless it's 40 degrees and dry. This was an indulgence buy for me and I'm relieved I bought it when I did, A10 and NPP only options came out to $41K OTD before financing. This car is docile when you putt around, but when you give it the beans it turns into a rocket and growls, to make you happy you bought an American RWD V8 coupe (last of a dying breed). Hands down the best present I ever bought myself. For those who have one or are thinking of getting one, immediately dump the stock rear 8.5" wheels on rubber band 245s and upgrade to the SS 9.5" wheel and wrap with 275 width Michelin PS4S. The car will be transformed and you'll be able to launch hard and really push the car around corners with confidence leveraging the epic Alpha platform. Great video brother, keep up the good work!
What’s crazy is the fact that some of Chevy and dodge’s best sellers are their muscle cars. I honestly feel like once EV’s take over Chevy and dodge will unfortunately go under.
I'm a Ford fan (currently Ford-less though), but I'm really diggin this de-contented Camaro RS! I totally get why the GM small-block has legions of fans! Just listen to it!! And to think it can be had for less than or not much more than $40K is epic! Screw Mopar! If I were in a position to, I'd say make mine black with the 6 speed and the "right number of pedals", and then let's rock n roll! Mary Barra needs to be put behind the wheel. Maybe she'll have a change of heart, and convince the GM Board to withdraw the Camaro shutdown.
I watched camaro reviews over the years and im proud to say that I finally bought my own 22' LT1 Camaro. For the people that's really thinking about getting a Camaro, my best advice would be to test drive one and see how it feels. A lot of people have different opinions on blind spots, a lot of plastic material and comfort but for me it didn't really bother me. Very happy to get my dream car before they're gone ❤️
I've had many muscle cars, my last being a DoDge Hellcat, my 17 2SS1LE is the best daily driver I've ever driven. 💨💨💨🏁Well balanced and always a Nice PuRR down the Road. Go CheVy!!!
You can get a 1SS for cheaper. With everything this has but the sunroof and the 1SS has wider rear tires. So.... idk they could have done better the LT1. Not enough of a price difference from the 1SS and the 2SS.
@@_Bishopton great value compared to a mustang, $3500 or so cheaper than a 1SS, and you can option with Bose audio, which otherwise you have to get a 2SS to get. Truly a street package vs the track package 1SS!
I thought the exact same thing but after seeing the new Mustang GT in person and jumping inside of it at a car show might have to trade my 2021 Camaro 2SS for the new mustang. The Camaro just feels so old and outdated in the interior compared to the new mustang lol
No matter what you own whether it be a mustang, camaro, challenger, or charger it will always be better than an electric vehicle with no soul. At this point it’s V8s against electric cars.
Fantastic video! I take care of the gardening at Dimmitt Chevrolet. I happened to clean off this entire section of the lot right before this interview- had no idea.
R.I.P. CAMARO. Built them in college. End of an era but not the first time Camaro has gone away. Hopefully it gets revived someday if even as an EV. Thanks Joe. 👍🙏🇺🇸
Love the sound of that engine.. 🤤 hopefully I’ll be able to get one but if not, I can always go back to these videos and reminisce. 💪🏻💪🏻 such a f*****g beast!!!
To me the most surprising part of the Gen 6 Camaro is the handling. My son had a Crush Orange 2019 2SS 1LE. That was a really sweet car. It handled and road very nicely. He traded it back in December when he to delivery of his new one..... a 2023 ZL1 1LE. I don't have to tell you what a beast that car is. Wow! Going to be interesting to see where the Camaro goes in 2025.
@@charliejg it’s going to be a EV SUV sucks but I mean we just gotta accept it everything is going EV now Mustang is the only one standing now until 2028 for a V8 muscle/pony car
@@Justaeuropeanman we don’t have to except it. We just don’t buy the ev crap. Since when do Americans let companies dictate what we will spend our money on? The entire history and success of America has always been that companies produce what we want to spend our money on.
I would get a 1SS for 5k less with all this but the sunroof. Price point is weird with options cause you can get the 1SS or the 2SS for the same price or cheaper.
I got a 2023 LT1 RS Manual w/ sunroof because I got tired of waiting for my factory built V6. I got 27.9 MPG on a recent 1K mile trip to Florida. It's comfortable. But sneakily POWERFUL. I love it! Get one while you can! No Zonks from me. Use your mirrors, turn your head!
You fucked up man should of gotten the V8 I just took a road trip from Cali to New York and back I was averaging at 29-31 MPG the whole time. Not too bad on Gas and I have the V8 power when I need it. Not to mention the sound of the V8 screaming 🤤
Congratulations you’re one of the smart people who realizes that the LT1 is lighter than the SS. Stick some fatter tires on it offset front and rear and you are good to go!
I was excited for the 2024 Mustang but may, I can't stop thinking about these. The styling finally works with the LT1 RS as I just don't like the SS. Loaded LT1 RS with no sunroof and a 6 speed is the ticket.
I've owned a 5th gen SS 1LE, '15 Grabber Blue PP Mustang, '15 Scatpack Challenger, and now a '23 LT1 convertible... all 6 speed manual. I hate that they are all gone, or soon will be.
My next ride. V8, of course, color and even the automatic? sounds good and the LT1 doesn't cost more than my first house. Great review as always Joe! "On throttle!" Many thanks! You're the BEST!
I kinda wish I didn't sell mine. $480 a month wasn't too bad at all. Blind spots did suck, but with mirrors in the SAE position they were almost gone completely.
I'ma go with that mustang cuz it looks more angry and more louder exhaust really I love your videos thanks for making your videos and thanks for making raiti rides thank you for coming for our dreams to listen to cars review cars and make videos on UA-cam thank you for being here thank you for making videos congratulations🎉😂🎉❤🎉❤❤
$45k for an lt1 is insane in my opinion, I’m in a 2020 1SS 1LE now which I paid $44k for. I had a 21 lt1 as well that I paid $32k for. The purpose of getting an lt1 is that it’s supposed to be cheaper than the ss model. Once you start adding any options to one then you might as well just get an ss.
No Bose option on the 1SS and no A/S option. Some of us live in the north and need to be able to drive it in the winter. That's the reason I went LT1. Did the wheel swap thing before. Not doing it again.
Beautiful car inside and out. Listening to baby purr is music to my ears. Always wanted a Camaro. But not before my dream car, a 1970 Chevelle SS. Such a shame these cars are coming to an end.
Me personally, a Chevy guy, is naturally going to take a Camaro before anything else, but I'd definitely take a Challenger before a Mustang. I will add though, Hellcat/Redeye models are pretty cool. The supercharger whine mixed in with a deep growling V8 is perfection.
The LT1 reminds me of back in 1969 when most of the car manufacturers made a budget performance machine for under $3K, like the AMC SC/rambler, Dodge Dart 340, Chevy Nova 350, Plymouth Roadrunner, etc.
I'm a Mustang guy at heart. It will always be the car for me, but I love anything that's cool and fast on four wheels. The Camaro will be missed.
I like the way you put that Wesley

Recently got my hands on a 22 lt1 at 22 years old and absolutely love it. Has the design package 2, rs package, dual mode exhaust, tech package, and sunroof. Promised myself id get one before they were discontinued and made it happen
That is so awesome!
Get some offset sticky your tires for that thing and it’s better than an SS in a lot of ways because it’s lighter.
@@Jwdude123 thank you, already on it
Whenever I watch a NASCAR race I feel like buying a Camaro, the first car I owned was a 68 Camaro, sad to see them going, excellent video 👍.
Take delivery of my 2023 LT1 RS this week. Been waiting what seems like forever now. Couldn’t be more excited
Should of gotten the SS man your gonna regret it big time when you see a SS flying by you with a loud ass V8 happened to me😂
@@Justaeuropeanman LT1 has the same V8 engine in it…
I just picked up a sharkskin LT1 Friday myself!
27 mpg on the highway !!!! Incredible. I love this car, even better without that sunroof and those seats. I'm the "best bang for the buck" guy. Thanks Joe.
You read my mind, Joe! I've been thinking about this vehicle a lot lately. For the money, I don't believe you can find a better deal on entry-level performance.
Yup nailed it. Want one, same color but need red interior and black mirrors. Going on the configuration page to build one! Need a manual tho. Great vid!
Of course you need the manual it’s gonna be a collector‘s item in like a year and a half.
I’m graduating from cdl school next month and this was my dream car! I will finally be able to afford this now with my real job! My graduation gift to me!
This model is a sleeper we had one in our Showroom last summer .we had 2 white & Red . The red was around for about 48 hours. White one around for about 3 weeks . Underrated model of Camaro.
Hey Joe! Greetings from Germany. Got my 2SS in 2021 and love it! Another awesome video from ya. Keep it going!
Joe the Chevy is the Apostle to the Muscle cars I love it.
You know it Luis
@@RaitisRides The fake vents looks good as esthetics because without them the front would look rather bland.
I've had my '21 LT1 for about 15 months. I'm in Chicago, the car rests in a garage and doesn't come out unless it's 40 degrees and dry. This was an indulgence buy for me and I'm relieved I bought it when I did, A10 and NPP only options came out to $41K OTD before financing. This car is docile when you putt around, but when you give it the beans it turns into a rocket and growls, to make you happy you bought an American RWD V8 coupe (last of a dying breed). Hands down the best present I ever bought myself. For those who have one or are thinking of getting one, immediately dump the stock rear 8.5" wheels on rubber band 245s and upgrade to the SS 9.5" wheel and wrap with 275 width Michelin PS4S. The car will be transformed and you'll be able to launch hard and really push the car around corners with confidence leveraging the epic Alpha platform. Great video brother, keep up the good work!
The Camaro LT1
Making the world a better place, for a little while longer.
This particular trim will have value as a collectible
Raiti getting a little wild on the on throttle action lol
I think I’ll take the Raiti’s Camaro over that one! Still a sweet ride though
Thanks for saying that!
Great review. It is really a shame that Chevy and Dodge are getting rid of their muscle cars. I hate the idea that manufactures are going to EV”s.
EVs suck
What’s crazy is the fact that some of Chevy and dodge’s best sellers are their muscle cars. I honestly feel like once EV’s take over Chevy and dodge will unfortunately go under.
Ikr I will never buy a EV
nope ektric nusçel carß
I'm a Ford fan (currently Ford-less though), but I'm really diggin this de-contented Camaro RS! I totally get why the GM small-block has legions of fans! Just listen to it!! And to think it can be had for less than or not much more than $40K is epic! Screw Mopar! If I were in a position to, I'd say make mine black with the 6 speed and the "right number of pedals", and then let's rock n roll! Mary Barra needs to be put behind the wheel. Maybe she'll have a change of heart, and convince the GM Board to withdraw the Camaro shutdown.
I watched camaro reviews over the years and im proud to say that I finally bought my own 22' LT1 Camaro.
For the people that's really thinking about getting a Camaro, my best advice would be to test drive one and see how it feels. A lot of people have different opinions on blind spots, a lot of plastic material and comfort but for me it didn't really bother me. Very happy to get my dream car before they're gone ❤️
I've had many muscle cars, my last being a DoDge Hellcat, my 17 2SS1LE is the best daily driver I've ever driven. 💨💨💨🏁Well balanced and always a Nice PuRR down the Road. Go CheVy!!!
I got a camaro rs 2020 but I want to change it to a v8 but it’s only automatic hopefully I get it!
Great commentary as always. Sad to see the Cameron go. I just ordered a 2023 2ss, get one while you can!
Congrats on your order! I still can't believe they are killing it off Frank!
$45k? That's a great price for what you're getting! Nice job Chevy!
You can get a 1SS for cheaper. With everything this has but the sunroof and the 1SS has wider rear tires. So.... idk they could have done better the LT1. Not enough of a price difference from the 1SS and the 2SS.
@@_Bishopton I agree, I’m looking at a 2021 camaro ss at 42K. The LT1 just isn’t that much cheaper unless you get it without any other options.
@@Michael-nn9dr yeah doesn't make any sense.
Picked up my 2SS years ago for $34K lol... It's crazy how expensive cars have gotten
@@_Bishopton great value compared to a mustang, $3500 or so cheaper than a 1SS, and you can option with Bose audio, which otherwise you have to get a 2SS to get. Truly a street package vs the track package 1SS!
Hit the fuck out that curb at 18:52 😂😂😂
Such a beautiful car and it will be missed. Glad I bought one a couple of years ago. Never getting rid of it.
Same here, love my Camaro
I thought the exact same thing but after seeing the new Mustang GT in person and jumping inside of it at a car show might have to trade my 2021 Camaro 2SS for the new mustang. The Camaro just feels so old and outdated in the interior compared to the new mustang lol
@@Justaeuropeanman from now on i will call you Mr.Debt man lol
@@Seba_305 why would I be Mr. Debt man?
@@Justaeuropeanman lol i guess because you going to get a another car meaning another debt lol I am Mr.Debt man as well with my 2021 2ss lol
No matter what you own whether it be a mustang, camaro, challenger, or charger it will always be better than an electric vehicle with no soul. At this point it’s V8s against electric cars.
Fantastic video! I take care of the gardening at Dimmitt Chevrolet. I happened to clean off this entire section of the lot right before this interview- had no idea.
R.I.P. CAMARO. Built them in college. End of an era but not the first time Camaro has gone away. Hopefully it gets revived someday if even as an EV. Thanks Joe. 👍🙏🇺🇸
Went from Tacoma to lt1 and it was the best decision I ever made. Best car I’ve owned
That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing your great experience.
Love the sound of that engine.. 🤤 hopefully I’ll be able to get one but if not, I can always go back to these videos and reminisce. 💪🏻💪🏻 such a f*****g beast!!!
To me the most surprising part of the Gen 6 Camaro is the handling. My son had a Crush Orange 2019 2SS 1LE. That was a really sweet car. It handled and road very nicely. He traded it back in December when he to delivery of his new one..... a 2023 ZL1 1LE. I don't have to tell you what a beast that car is. Wow! Going to be interesting to see where the Camaro goes in 2025.
Sadly there will be no 2025 after 2024 it will be discontinued
@@Justaeuropeanman I have a feeling there will be something wearing the name. We just may not be happy about it.
@@charliejg it’s going to be a EV SUV sucks but I mean we just gotta accept it everything is going EV now Mustang is the only one standing now until 2028 for a V8 muscle/pony car
@@Justaeuropeanman we don’t have to except it. We just don’t buy the ev crap. Since when do Americans let companies dictate what we will spend our money on? The entire history and success of America has always been that companies produce what we want to spend our money on.
Happy sunny ☀️ Sunday . Great review as always
You too my friend!
This is exactly how I would option it but with a manual. Good job Joe and great camera work Steven flood. 😊😊😊
I would get a 1SS for 5k less with all this but the sunroof. Price point is weird with options cause you can get the 1SS or the 2SS for the same price or cheaper.
@@_Bishopton if I would get the SS,I would get it with the 1le package in dark blue and with a manual. And thanks for the input,much appreciated! 😊😊
@@Cobra_460 no problem. If all you were getting is the 1LE pack? You wouldn't spend much more than 45k.
@@_Bishopton yeah that’s true. Especially with the markups that dealers are charging.
Because you’re smart and you know the six speed manual will go way up in value. Soon.
Nice car. But Mustang is where is at. Back in the 80's, different story but they weren't able to keep up in the long run unfortunately. 😢
Literally picked mine up last Saturday. Came with the Tech package.
I got a 2023 LT1 RS Manual w/ sunroof because I got tired of waiting for my factory built V6. I got 27.9 MPG on a recent 1K mile trip to Florida. It's comfortable. But sneakily POWERFUL. I love it! Get one while you can! No Zonks from me. Use your mirrors, turn your head!
You fucked up man should of gotten the V8 I just took a road trip from Cali to New York and back I was averaging at 29-31 MPG the whole time. Not too bad on Gas and I have the V8 power when I need it. Not to mention the sound of the V8 screaming 🤤
@@Justaeuropeanman again man the LT1, literally the exact car in this video is a LT1 RS. It’s the V8. Not the V6 or 4
Congratulations you’re one of the smart people who realizes that the LT1 is lighter than the SS. Stick some fatter tires on it offset front and rear and you are good to go!
@@Justaeuropeanman The LT1 is a V8. Same engine as the SS.
@@Justaeuropeanman didn't fuck up. The LT1 is a v8. I said I got the LT1 because I got tired of waiting for the V6 that I factory ordered.
Go woke, go broke. We're not going to want an electric Camaro. However, great review Joe! 👍
I had the 2015 2ss 1LE awesome car. The summer tires however picked up everything on the road and I was living at the tire shop every other month.
That is a very good point!
I was excited for the 2024 Mustang but may, I can't stop thinking about these. The styling finally works with the LT1 RS as I just don't like the SS. Loaded LT1 RS with no sunroof and a 6 speed is the ticket.
I bought a 2023 Camaro ZL1 after watching video reviews like your channel. Love the ZL1 this car is great too.
I've owned a 5th gen SS 1LE, '15 Grabber Blue PP Mustang, '15 Scatpack Challenger, and now a '23 LT1 convertible... all 6 speed manual. I hate that they are all gone, or soon will be.
Very awesome car. I went with the 2 SS 1 LE can’t wait it is being built at the factory right now. That car sounds great.
That is so awesome!
7:09 they're Scuba Goggles from the Future Joe! 👍🤿
My next ride. V8, of course, color and even the automatic? sounds good and the LT1 doesn't cost more than my first house.
Great review as always Joe!
"On throttle!" Many thanks!
You're the BEST!
Great review! Question about the Recaros. Is the back seat material upgraded and matched too, or is it the base LT1 cloth back there?
It's cloth. 😪
@@shawnivy Thank you.
I kinda wish I didn't sell mine. $480 a month wasn't too bad at all. Blind spots did suck, but with mirrors in the SAE position they were almost gone completely.
As a lover of all big 3, I will certainly miss the Camaro. Godspeed, my friend. Fly high. Maybe I’ll see you sometimes on the road.
I’m a sedan guy but I like this Camaro. I just wish the infotainment screen was much larger. But this is a nice car!
projector i çar
I love my 2021 LT1 20mpg combine 455 hp, light weight muscle car, best car ever.
I'ma go with that mustang cuz it looks more angry and more louder exhaust really I love your videos thanks for making your videos and thanks for making raiti rides thank you for coming for our dreams to listen to cars review cars and make videos on UA-cam thank you for being here thank you for making videos congratulations🎉😂🎉❤🎉❤❤
Tesla marshmallow 🤣. Too funny, almost choked on pizza.
Had one on order since Jan 1st. Factory finally accepted the order for build (mid-June) and expected delivery late July. Can't wait.
$45k for an lt1 is insane in my opinion, I’m in a 2020 1SS 1LE now which I paid $44k for. I had a 21 lt1 as well that I paid $32k for. The purpose of getting an lt1 is that it’s supposed to be cheaper than the ss model. Once you start adding any options to one then you might as well just get an ss.
No Bose option on the 1SS and no A/S option. Some of us live in the north and need to be able to drive it in the winter. That's the reason I went LT1. Did the wheel swap thing before. Not doing it again.
my brother got one fully specd out for 39k. Same model same wheels same color.
Hey Raiti's Rides How Are You Can You Make The 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS Great Video Have A Nice Day
I’m doing great Sunjib! I will get that together for you!
It sounds a lot better then mustang, imo.
Beautiful car inside and out. Listening to baby purr is music to my ears. Always wanted a Camaro. But not before my dream car, a 1970 Chevelle SS. Such a shame these cars are coming to an end.
As a MOPAR guy. I don’t understand why Camaros are so underrated. They look and feel so much better than mustangs
Me personally, a Chevy guy, is naturally going to take a Camaro before anything else, but I'd definitely take a Challenger before a Mustang. I will add though, Hellcat/Redeye models are pretty cool. The supercharger whine mixed in with a deep growling V8 is perfection.
I have a black one, and I love it!
I actually prefer the LT1 RS trim face to the SS face.
I personally have a 2023 LT1 and I’m in love. I feel like a boss every time I drive it.
The LT1 reminds me of back in 1969 when most of the car manufacturers made a budget performance machine for under $3K, like the AMC SC/rambler, Dodge Dart 340, Chevy Nova 350, Plymouth Roadrunner, etc.
I have a 2022 LT1 and absolutely love it.
I got a 22 2SS 1le and I love everything about it
NOTHING beats the sound and feel of a Chevy V8. What a helluva car, especially for the money.
