Wow....You're the only other person whose ever mentioned the gas pedal. I thought it was just me! I went to buy one, got in and realized the gas pedal is hooked to the floor of the car. Every other car I know of springs from the top which doesn't sound like a big deal and many probably wouldn't care but for me, it was pretty weird. Even the sales guy that was with me never had never noticed it. It was a weird feeling that made me pause about buying the car. I'm still vacillating about buying one for this one reason wondering if I can overcome this issue? Tires - I changed out the tires on my Scat-Pak Challenger to Firestone Firehawks after so many people on the forums were saying how good they were. I was always a Michelin guy but took a chance. GREAT TIRES! They ride really well, they're sticky and quiet. Try 'em, you'll like em!
I like the floor mounted gas pedal than the hanging one. It just feels more comfortable esp during long trips as it conforms to my foot and that is just my preference.
By far my biggest complaint is the length of those massive doors. If you can't open it completely because you're in a parking lot, it makes it much harder getting in and out. Other than that, I love mine. Gotta add a wing on that trunk tho.
100% agreed. However almost every 2 door car will have obnoxiously large doors so that should be expected from the jump. The wing would also be nice I agree with that too. Thanks for the comment!
Floating accelerator pedals or as you called top mounted are designed for low performance vehicles that do not require exact throttle response finesse. Same accelerator pedal is in the 6-speed manual and when all traction control and stability assist is turned off you appreciate the bottom hinge mounted accelerator. Makes Auto crossing much more exciting.
Thanks for the input man that definitely makes sense! The pedal is only a complaint because of how I like to drive automatic cars lol not a big deal at all I should’ve cleared that up in the video but thank you again!
I have a 2021 in wild cherry the new metallic red that is a $495 upgrade. The paint chipped off on the exact place yours did. I have no idea how this happened and for sure i did not hit anything hard with my door.
Damn that really sucks.. I was sure that the premium paints wouldn’t have this issue. I never hit anything either, I just looked at my shorts one day and saw red paint on them with 2 chips in my door haha thanks for your comment!
So with the wheel width thing, since the SS and the LT1 are so similar, can't you just get a set of SS wheels or wheels/tires that are the same dimensions?
I have the Indy 500s on my 16 2SS. They are great in the rain and under light to moderate driving. Get into some speed they can get very spinny very quickly. Even in 2nd and 3rd gear if you add any power at all to the car
Yes Continental Extreme Contact Sports. They are Summer only as well.only draw back is the will look worn after 10k miles or so. But they still have alot of life. They have a D and W. Carved into the tread when the letter is gone it means be more careful in the Wet Or Dry. Once the D for dry is gone you're on slicks😋 the firestones are good. Just not 400+ torque/Hp at WOT good. I'm doing BMR sway bars and end links and lowering springs soon
Strange that the newer 2021 LT1 package came with only that size. I just purchased an 5th gen LT1 V6 and that came with an option for 18 inch or 19 inch rims, giving you a bit more width for the 275s I believe it has. So you should be able to get the rims/tires for it. I don't see why they wouldn't have it on the newer models.
I'm a senior, my wife and I decided to treat ourselves a couple of months ago to a new sports car. After carefully shopping around the choice was 2021 1LT Camaro. Oh I've had a few cars in my day ,, my all time favourite was my 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 XL. But our new Camaro ,, WOW ,,, if there was anything I would put a negative sticker on it would be trunk space,, that's it. We have the Riverside blue metallic ,, beautiful colour, we have the RS package, 20" wheels, 10 speed automatic with paddle shifters and the V6 engine provides us with more than sufficient power. And to compare ,, I did test drive a 2021 Eco-Boost Mustang, simply didn't like it and the options were comparable to the Camaro with two exceptions. First of all the price, $ 3799.00 more expensive than the Camaro and secondly I simply could justify paying well in excess of $ 40,000 for a four cylinder sports car. Not knocking the Mustang at all it's a proven machine no doubt about that but plain and simple, when it came to " bang for the buck the Camaro was miles ahead ,, it's a great car to drive ,,
Hope you enjoy the car! I’ll try to get my hands on the turbo 4 models on both the mustang and Camaro soon but I could only imagine how much more nimble the 1LT is compared to my LT1 it must feel like a go cart haha thanks for the comment!
I had the same car On Black LT1 it’s true Chevy should do more for this Camaro my son have SS 2018 anyways man good content about this car I enjoy my ride new rims for future it’s project car so you can build this one the way you want nice video man
Thank you again for the support! I probably won’t be changing the rims for a while but a square set of 255 or 265 summer tires are definitely gonna be a consideration in the near future. Maybe some other modifications too but the tires are going to be my first priority. Thanks again!
I'm not sure about that, when racecar drivers do it, their heel is being used on one pedal while feathering the other with their toes/ball. The heel doesn't touch the floor.
Lol the paint will be an issue overtime I had the same exact color the clear started to peel around my taillights. But I had the 5th Gen. That won’t not be a problem for you. But it might in other areas of the car. It started peeling in year 5 or 6.
Not surprised lol definitely not good paint quality at least with this particular color. I don’t know how long I’m keeping this car, but might have to invest in a clear bra. Thanks for your input and overall support!
I would say if you are going to purchase a $50k sports car you might want to get a protective film for it..that way no nicks chips or anything especially if you plan on driving it until the wheels fall off or close to it.It only going to help the car retain its value and protect it at the same time! There are not alot of pieces to be pulled and wrapped so it should be fairly reasonable to have it done or if your handy do it yourself ..but I would leave it to the guys that have wrapped 50 camaro's
I just saved up a few extra dollars to make sure I got what I wanted. I settled on my last car not this one. I got the 2021 2SS Shock and Steel series camaro with a Metallic Grey Paint, Black and Lime Green Decals. Lime green Brimbo brake calipers.
For real? I believe you but I’d definitely wanna see that in person before trying it myself. I was thinking about doing a square 255 or 265 sticky setup but might think about a wide rear tire now lol thanks I really appreciate your input!
Hes right. 305 is the max without rubbing. For a square set up I am thinking 285 or 295 for my LT1. Plenty of vids with the wider wheels. Your good man.
@@WTFCRLT1 From what I understand, Even Camaro LT1's in the 5th gen series offered larger rims/tires as an additional package. I was lucky enough to buy one used that the original owner had purchased with it(like the RS package for example).
Guys I just have a question , I just bought a 2021 Camaro LT1 , my question is what is the difference between SS and RS, is there Camaro RS LT1 or Camaro SS LT1? Please guys I just need your honest answer:(
Glad to see Chevrolet offer this option. I rent cars all the time and my first drive with the 2020 Camaro V6 was an absolute eye opening blast. The V6 in that car is impressive as hell and I drove it all week enjoying ever bit of it. Fast forward a few months and they threw me the keys to a bonafide Camaro SS out in SFO...I took the thing back day 2 and traded for a vert Ecoboost Mustang. Oh I know the SS is fast as fast can be, but they ride like shit for actual road driving. No matter the setting the thing beat me and my wife to death. To me the V8 in a LT without the race suspension would be the best of both worlds...IMHO of course.
I have a 2018 Camaro SS and my door blew open and I always hold it. I parked in my friends driveway next to his wife’s Tesla.The door hit her door right in the crease and mine got bent in a little. I treat my car like a Ferrari and I was pissed.Her car was like $8,000 to fix because Tesla is aluminum and they ordered a new door. I had the body shop put it through my insurance and he fixed hers. I wasn’t going to put a claim in for mine so he had taken care of it on his end. I detail and ceramic coat cars and I have mine done.The paint is soft. I love the Camaro yours looks beautiful.Enjoy it.You can get a set of Lexani tires online not expensive I did they are fine.
I’ve heard mixed reviews about the nitto tires. I guess the same can go with any tires, but the top ones on my list are Indy 500’s, Ventus v12’s, or continental extreme contact sports. The only problem with nitto, is I had a friend with a scat pack and he had more problems putting power down with nittos compared to the factory all seasons that the car came with. I’d feel like a real sucker if I spent over $1000 just to have more wheel spin😂
@@WTFCRLT1 well have a wider setup really helps. I run 20x10.5 275 rear and it keeps traction when I need it. I can still break when I want though. Also they’re really reliant on being warm. If they are cold yeah there not super sticky but when they’re warm it hold up nicely. But that’s just me. Also I’m in a 18 3.6 so I have less torque but this guy I know runs them on his 2020 Porsche gt4
One of my neighbors also drives a Camaro and I’m not sure if she’s even 5 feet tall haha she loves it too so I’m sure you’ll be fine. Appreciate your comment!
I don’t plan on changing the rims at least not for a while, so I’ll probably go with a square 255 set most likely. Appreciate your input man thanks for the support!
I have a black 2020 LT1 manual. Love it. Agreed paint is soft. I got the PPF. The arm rest is a nearly unusable design with opening and closing. The seats are more for comfort and I'm 5' 10/180lbs, have no issues. Gas pedal gives me no issues. Oh and tires.... What do you want? Sticky or a treadlife warranty? Sport 4s's are very very damn expensive but good traction all weather and 30k warranty. If you care for better performance in dry and can still get by ok in wet with no treadlife warranty look at the Goodyear Supercar 3's especially for road course use. These are made for the Camaro man.... literally. Both are not cheap. Nittos are not bad in dry especially for drag racing but not as good as the others mentioned on a road course....but cheaper $$. Idk just do research on the tires and get what suits YOUR driving style.... and wallet. Supercar 3's are in my future with wider wheels and a road course. When it's colder I will put the stock wheels/tires back on. Indiana weather.... Good luck. Tire research can take a while!
I wasn’t really considering tread life warranty because manufacturers will usually see the vehicle I’m driving and just assume the tread didn’t last because of aggressive driving (which they’d be right). My main options so far have been Indy 500’s since they’re really highly praised while being about half the cost of 4s’s, my biggest question has really been what width to go with bc come ppl say no more than 265 and others say you can do a 305😂 thanks again man always appreciate your support!
Well they MAY be saying no more than 265 tires on your stock 8.5 inch wheels, which I would not do as it sacrifices cornering stability. If you get wider wheels then yes 305 tire is the max width without rubbing and having to move a certain wire harness from rubbing the tire. Hope that helps.
Imagine that if you take something like a key and repeatedly run it over the edge of a painted surface it with eventually chip off who would have known the wheels are not wide enough is to cut the cost l have a 2011 Camaro 2SS it's modified not my daily driver more of a nice weather weekend car the only complaint l have with it is l wish it was about 600 pounds lighter not the end of the world but other than that one small issue l absolutely love it l have lightened it up quite a bit with race star wheels stainless long tube headers cat deleted and a stainless 3 inch X pipe into flowmaster 3 inch FX mufflers and a one piece aluminium driveshaft shedding 170 pounds off to mention some of the upgrades bringing the weight down to 3760 from 3930
You need to get a clear coding on top of you paint while you have a good paint out the clear coat film will stop all scratches and I don’t know the Knicks on your car if I new technology find neurodes in Chevrolet
That makes sense. Idk how the rest of these colors are but believe I’ve heard someone mention that this red paint sucks before when it comes to rock chips. I didn’t think it’d be THAT bad.. Clear bra would be a great investment at least for the front end and doors. Thanks again for the support!
@@stevenreddy6842 ahh okay good to know if I decide to get a different Camaro in the upcoming years before they’re discontinued. Definitely would opt for the better paint. Thanks for your input man and I appreciate your support!
Yup I’m extremely happy with the car! I was just trying to come up with 5 things that could be improved with the car, most of them aren’t really big deals. Paint quality and arm rest padding are the big ones. Thanks for your input!
@@WTFCRLT1 luckily most of the complaints can be fixed. Bigger wheels. They do sell a premium armrest. My big one was the trunk. NO WING? I picked up a color matched SS and installed it myself. It changed the look.
Trade it in .did you not test drive the car before you bought it. The things you complained about you should have done your homework on and bought what you wanted.
No vehicle is perfect. This LT1 is just about perfect for me tho I just wanted people to know what exactly about it isn’t so great which honestly isn’t much. Appreciate your input!
all paints used on cars these days are Waterborne paints as opposed to solvent-based paint. not as durable. Environmental reasons. All cars must have waterborne.
It’s supposed to be budget 🤷🏿♀️ my girl has a 2021 Velar 340, it’s got all the “luxury” but no grip and rip. That’s why ordered one of these, can’t wait to pick it up (got a 6speed manual though)
You’ll love it brother thanks for the comment! I was also looking for the 6 speed but I would’ve had to special order it and I didn’t wanna pay more than I had to so I went with this one haha
These are just a few small things that I don’t particularly love about the car, most of which I wasn’t aware of before I bought it. No car is perfect, but I still love this car and have no intention of getting rid of it any time soon. Possibly for a 2023 in a couple years but we’ll see! I appreciate your input!
It’s not just Chevy, most domestic companies use thin paint and clear coat layers on their free paint options. Spending the extra money on premium paints is definitely worth it.
You could say that the paint is cheap, but the clearcoat is what protects it. If you buy a new car, make sure to get it done right(meaning the insides of the doors, the trunk metal and inside of hood, etc). If it's a used car, chances are it needs a new one anyway. I got one my for used camaro and it's fine, being 12 years old and 80k miles.
Honestly this is the perfect car for anyone just looking for a V8 and don’t want to spend a shit ton on any other V8. Yea you can only fit a certain tire on the stock rims, but that can be changed up. Interior quality doesn’t really matter either, as long as it’s better than Chrysler quality then it’s already miles ahead. Seat bolstering is also another thing that can be changed for fairly cheap. Any sports seat from Recaro or really anything. With any car that you love, just be careful with the paint and being around the car. I test drove 2 camaros and the floor mounted pedal didn’t bother me at all.
Definitely agree.. none of these dislikes would keep me from buying the car again, I just wanted to talk about stuff that’s just not all that perfect with the car. Thanks for the support man I really appreciate it!
@@WTFCRLT1 I really haven’t seen people go over what the options are on the infotainment system, actual 0-60 times and videos of them testing the timing.
The point of the model is to have a budget v8 it’s a v6 that has the v8 in it
Wow....You're the only other person whose ever mentioned the gas pedal. I thought it was just me! I went to buy one, got in and realized the gas pedal is hooked to the floor of the car. Every other car I know of springs from the top which doesn't sound like a big deal and many probably wouldn't care but for me, it was pretty weird. Even the sales guy that was with me never had never noticed it. It was a weird feeling that made me pause about buying the car. I'm still vacillating about buying one for this one reason wondering if I can overcome this issue? Tires - I changed out the tires on my Scat-Pak Challenger to Firestone Firehawks after so many people on the forums were saying how good they were. I was always a Michelin guy but took a chance. GREAT TIRES! They ride really well, they're sticky and quiet. Try 'em, you'll like em!
I like the floor mounted gas pedal than the hanging one. It just feels more comfortable esp during long trips as it conforms to my foot and that is just my preference.

The kind of review I like and is very valuable.
So you can’t add the 9.5 in tires and rims if you’d like too ?
Floating accelerator pedals or as you called top mounted are designed for low performance vehicles that do not require exact throttle response finesse.

I just brought this car on Saturday. I love it!!
I have the Indy 500s on my 16 2SS. They are great in the rain and under light to moderate driving. Get into some speed they can get very spinny very quickly. Even in 2nd and 3rd gear if you add any power at all to the car
Thank you man I seriously appreciate your input! Have you had any tires on the car that you’d consider better?
Yes Continental Extreme Contact Sports. They are Summer only as well.only draw back is the will look worn after 10k miles or so. But they still have alot of life. They have a D and W. Carved into the tread when the letter is gone it means be more careful in the Wet Or Dry. Once the D for dry is gone you're on slicks😋 the firestones are good. Just not 400+ torque/Hp at WOT good.

You need to get a clear coding on top of you paint while you have a good paint out the clear coat film will stop all scratches and I don’t know the Knicks on your car if I new technology find neurodes in Chevrolet
If you want wider tires you must get wider wheels.
Just like the arcade 😅
Your car looks great.I actually prefer the look of the LT1 car.
Thanks man I really appreciate the support!
Complains about something small for 45 minutes then says "I'm not going to complain about that too much" 😆
It’s a nice car
Holy knitpicking
The reason the paint is easily chipped is because it has a soft paint, compared to most cars that are coated a bit deeper. Great video.
That makes sense. Idk how the rest of these colors are but believe I’ve heard someone mention that this red paint sucks before when it comes to rock chips. I didn’t think it’d be THAT bad.. Clear bra would be a great investment at least for the front end and doors. Thanks again for the support!
@@WTFCRLT1 the free paint options are all very thin. The premium paints get deeper paint and clear coat layers for better protection.
@@stevenreddy6842 ahh okay good to know if I decide to get a different Camaro in the upcoming years before they’re discontinued. Definitely would opt for the better paint. Thanks for your input man and I appreciate your support!
Thx for the video bro. But honestly these are a bit nitpicky. Its your car and it seems like you're pretty happy with it.
Yup I’m extremely happy with the car! I was just trying to come up with 5 things that could be improved with the car, most of them aren’t really big deals. Paint quality and arm rest padding are the big ones. Thanks for your input!
@@WTFCRLT1 luckily most of the complaints can be fixed. Bigger wheels. They do sell a premium armrest. My big one was the trunk. NO WING? I picked up a color matched SS and installed it myself. It changed the look.
Trade it in .did you not test drive the car before you bought it. The things you complained about you should have done your homework on and bought what you wanted.
No vehicle is perfect. This LT1 is just about perfect for me tho I just wanted people to know what exactly about it isn’t so great which honestly isn’t much. Appreciate your input!
all paints used on cars these days are Waterborne paints as opposed to solvent-based paint. not as durable. Environmental reasons. All cars must have waterborne.
It’s supposed to be budget 🤷🏿♀️ my girl has a 2021 Velar 340, it’s got all the “luxury” but no grip and rip.
That’s why ordered one of these, can’t wait to pick it up (got a 6speed manual though)
You’ll love it brother thanks for the comment! I was also looking for the 6 speed but I would’ve had to special order it and I didn’t wanna pay more than I had to so I went with this one haha
Sell it, right now you'll get all your $$$ back, bu then you will have to wait almost to 2022 to get another Camaro. Choices.
These are just a few small things that I don’t particularly love about the car, most of which I wasn’t aware of before I bought it. No car is perfect, but I still love this car and have no intention of getting rid of it any time soon. Possibly for a 2023 in a couple years but we’ll see! I appreciate your input!
Paint quality of camaros is trash i already did a paint correction in my car.
I can't believe the door paint chipped from hitting the keys in his pocket. Chevy needs to pick up their paint game.
WTF.
It’s not just Chevy, most domestic companies use thin paint and clear coat layers on their free paint options. Spending the extra money on premium paints is definitely worth it.
COWmaro......Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
For what you paid for that thing, it should be better.
Chevy has had shitty paint for a while now
You could say that the paint is cheap, but the clearcoat is what protects it. If you buy a new car, make sure to get it done right(meaning the insides of the doors, the trunk metal and inside of hood, etc). If it's a used car, chances are it needs a new one anyway. I got one my for used camaro and it's fine, being 12 years old and 80k miles.
@@gozinta82 the paint is thin is the problem....
@@joser81 ok man
Camaro only V8 That’s it!!!
Honestly this is the perfect car for anyone just looking for a V8 and don’t want to spend a shit ton on any other V8.
Yea you can only fit a certain tire on the stock rims, but that can be changed up.
Interior quality doesn’t really matter either, as long as it’s better than Chrysler quality then it’s already miles ahead.
Seat bolstering is also another thing that can be changed for fairly cheap. Any sports seat from Recaro or really anything.
With any car that you love, just be careful with the paint and being around the car.
I test drove 2 camaros and the floor mounted pedal didn’t bother me at all.
Definitely agree.. none of these dislikes would keep me from buying the car again, I just wanted to talk about stuff that’s just not all that perfect with the car. Thanks for the support man I really appreciate it!
@@WTFCRLT1 just keep bringing these LT1 videos out and you’re going to keep getting me more hyped while I wait for mine to be built 😂
@@ButterlesToast will do! Is there anything in particular that you’d like to see?
@@WTFCRLT1 I really haven’t seen people go over what the options are on the infotainment system, actual 0-60 times and videos of them testing the timing.
Bro with all respect if u have things u dislike about being cheap shoulda got 2ss 🤷🏻♂️
Maybe for 2023!
Once I saw you got the automatic I'm disregarding this video.
Great input man lol I guess thanks for watching
Lol
You can still shift gears two way steering wheel or shifter.
What a cry baby
Black wheels are so ugly.
I purposely got chevy alloy factory rims for my 1SS i find the black rims odd.
I think black looks the best🤔
