that head room is insane
wait, topher and tedward arent the same people?
no
Huh??😊
Tedward is an intolerable man child and a nerd
Tedward lives In Massachusetts and Thetopher lives in Michigan so no.
Tedward is Tom and Topher is Chris but both do videos on the Winding Road.
The 6th gen is a fantastic driving car, it really does drive about as good as it gets below 100k. Yeah the packaging and styling is not for everyone but just like the 4th gen f body is now, these will be greatly missed and appreciated in the near future.
I rent cars frequently for work, the convertible actually has better visibility due to no B pillar blinding you and you really don't feel the weight with the power and alpha platform
Other than the Convertible, I have the exact same car, 2017, 6SPD, 2SS, WIth NPP Exhaust and Mag Dampers FE4 Suspension, Hyper Blue (No Stripes)....Had it almost exactly a year now...I LOVE it. I have a 2018 Titan, and a 1994 Prelude Si that almost never get driven now. This Camaro, is the most fuel efficient of the 3, definitely the most fun, and as a 2SS, it's sooo comfy, especially on TOUR mode. The SS is just the perfect amount of power....Love, Love, Love it!
Is it push to start? I am really leaning towards this one for my next car.
“This is my first camaro experience” say no more [spins off throttle] 😹😹😹
I just bought a new 2023 and I LIKE the pops and crackles off the exhaust. It puts a smile on my face when I accelerate, let go, and hear what sounds like fireworks 💥
Mom has an 8 speed 2SS Vert. Absolutely love the vehicle. Even though it weighs 4200 pounds it absolutely does not feel like it. The acceleration is fantastic.
6M 2SS convertible Camaros kick ass! Not a whole lot of of manual verts out there. This is almost my exact car except mine is garnet red. I have been hoping for a while now that the topher would test drive one of these. So glad to finally see it!
I really like this kind of review, feels like I am just chilling with your guys
Best budget serious mid range sports car on the planet! :)
My first Camaro experience was also in a convertible SS. I rented one. It had the "ruined" front end, though with its dark gray paint, less noticeable than in some colors. I freakin loved it. One of the best times I have had driving a car. Though, I don't know if I'd actually want to own one, I can appreciate how fun and silly these cars are - and it seemed to genuinely handle well, too.
Excellent overall video, thank you !
The perfect spec my only complaint would be the electronic e brake
Told my self I want another one. I had a loaded 2016 2ss coupe , same color as vid, that I had to get rid of but I got a 2017 Grand Cherokee limited v8. I went to the state police academy and it snowed so bad those months I was there. Definitely looking to purchase this same build in vid if I can find another in New Jersey area.
The kind of crossover we wanted !!
LETS GOOO this is my DREAM car
I have a 2018 2SS 6M and love it!
7:41 Topher was like “mate stfu” lol
Amazing weekend car for the enthusiast!
Plenty of head room
Head room is good!
Always gotta pick up when Dad calls
I've haven't been inside a Camaro since I was a kid. Or any muscle car. I'm considering the 24 mustang GT as my next car.
I hadn’t reset the trip odometer on my 17 Silverado, I’ve driven 70k miles and the mechanic over the weekend doing routine maintenance reset it 😅
Personally I Like those Black Stripes, but ONLY with that particular color of Blue on that car!
2019+ front end ftw
Aww man I was gonna reach out for you to drive my 2022 LT1 manual... Camaro overload
0:02 second seen manual gear in neutral jerking left and right
“ Best Car for the money 💴 “
While your thinking of Camaro , challenger , or mustang , although auto is faster trust me when I say the only way to buy these V8’s is with a manual!!!! The drive is so much more enjoyable !
The HUD in my 1LE is almost invisible with polarized sunglasses on.
Then you have some good sunglasses! The whole point of polarization is to block out reflections. Lol
@@jjchockey lol Ray-Bans and Oakleys. If you rotate them 90° it looks fine. I’m always unlucky with the polarization direction.
Just tilt your head like you are eating a taco then you can see it fine lol. But seriously, I need to get some non polarized glasses soon for when I drive
That's just what I need a convertible Camaro with a Charlie in the back LOL I'm just trying to be funny Charlie seems to be a nice guy but I always wanted one of those Camaro convertible
I agree that the SS is enough. Unless your tracking it, the ZL1 is just too much to enjoy on a public road.
Hi Topher 😁 Can your next drive video be on a 2006 infiniti G35? I would love for you to do it :)
My boss has an ‘18 that looks almost identical to this
Really cool car. As someone who's sat in the back of a convertible, that wind can be a nightmare if you've got even mildly long hair. Aside from that, I'm really impressed by the room and how this offers sports car fun for a growing family. I wish we had these in Australia.
I have a GR86 and to my knowledge, if I have to perform dad duties it means I can't have a front passenger with a rear-facing child seat in. If I only have two kids I could make that work but I'll be curious to see how long I can use it as a family car before they outgrow those rear seats entirely. I told my girlfriend I'm not making her sacrifice a fun car for a practical car, but luckily she likes sedans to begin with. Too bad we don't have the Civic Si either in our market either... Maybe Elantra N (i30N premium) for her?
That rev hang is a deal breaker for me, rather have a 19+ 1LE
They all have it... 1LE or not. Regardless it can be tuned out
Did he ever shift past 3rd?!
Top goes up and down up to 35mph
Tell me guys, as you may know in Europe auto shift is not common ( more every day and depends on the country ) for an American .. a manual shift is something to enjoy the ride at weekends or a 99% you prefer an auto shift always? about de vid beautiful car.
Most prefer an auto because it's percieved as easier in the city and for the "cruising" longer-distance american style of driving. Most of the population doesn't know how to drive a manual and hasn't tried, so they don't know how much better it is. A small part of the population drives manual for the fun to drive aspect, even if it's seen as less convenient.
auto is better for the bigger roads and congested traffic we got
2016-18 is the best looking. Hoping to pick up a 1le next year.
Tail lights look terrible for 16-18
@@TheCaffeinatedDrive tail lights are better on the new ones
Am I one of the few that think they didn’t ruin the front end?
No, you're not. 19+ models look nicer imho. All a matter of personal taste.
19+ tail lights look light years better than 16-18
So power to weight equivalent to a miata interesting
Wearing polarised lenses is not recommended for viewing LCD displays. Buy a 17 million dollar helicopter with a glass cockpit and that is mentioned in the general limitations.
Serengeti Aviators (professional aviation sunglasses) work just fine as opposed to the fashion ''I'm looking kool'' shades which mostly have polarised lenses.
That guy acting like 2017 with 20k is old and ragged, surprised it doesn't rattle and stuff. My current car is my newest, a 2008 lol.
I have one ‘ 👍👍
So many Camaros, none with Automatic😢😢😢
Is it just me or does the coolant look MASSIVELY overfilled in that Camaro?
Not overfilled. Perfectly fine.
13:40 sus
Second
im the 5th view
First
0:01 start up 5:15 drive 7:41 umm stfu
56 seconds ago lol first.
Great car for gas guzzling and imperfect reliability
Ridiculous statement but ok. 6th Gen Camaros are very reliable vehicles and get a solid 21mpg combined.
Also a little fact for the Camaro is that it switches into 4 cylinder mode to conserve gas depending on speed. My friend has one and he can get around 30 mpg out of it sometimes.
Lil honda guy
Prius is best car
@@jeffbrown4708 Only automatics have cylinder deactivation. Manuals do not.
Please stop using the word ‘ Lunier ‘ Thank you

Had a rental Camaro convertible on a trip to Maui recently. Although I think they look decent, it had some of the WORST interior ergonomics, build quality, trunk space, and visibility I’ve ever encountered in a car ever. It drove well, but my goodness I can’t believe people pay any amount of money to actually own one. To each their own, but with that money just get a Miata or GR86 . If you had to go American, a Mustang is a better choice.
4000 lb!!! And people call the M240i with AWD “heavy”. Lol with the car market as wonky as it is right now the BMW is likely cheaper, faster, and better in every way other than not being a convertible. Only problem with the BMW is that there is a 6 month wait to get one.
Don't worry. It's not. More expensive, slightly slower and nowhere near as fun to drive + not a convertible. Camaro factually is waay better in most regards.
@@ChevyBuddy m240i beats a Supra which beats a Camaro. You are wrong, to wouldn’t even be close.
Well it’s a muscle car of course it’s heavy. And it’s a convertible. Also, in a M240i you’re not getting a sweet American V8, so there’s that. If I had to pick between them BRAND NEW I would probably get a M240i coupe but the Camaro is a phenomenal car as well.
The BMW is no where near as fun and engaging to drive. It’s insanely refined and competent but it’s not fun like this. The BMW is also smaller and not a convertible but is only 70lbs less in RWD form.
@@postalpancho the SS 1LE costs under 50K and is much quicker than even an M2 around a track. The Alpha chassis is no joke, fun fact the whole goal and benchmark for the car was to make a better E46 Chassis.
