    I used to own a 2016 Camaro ss and it’s so capable on the track. A 2.0 Camaro is actually a bit more nimble due to the lighter front end. Lots of ppl bashing on 2.0 Camaro but I think it’s a great car.

    • @rueben44
      @rueben44  4 года назад

      It is a great car with a manual. I would have kept it in that case. I just couldn't get over the automatic part. Oh and the fact I couldn't upgrade the factory stereo.

    The 2.0 turbo can be tuned, just give a call to Trifecta Tune, it cost $400 takes 20 minutes to download and adds 50 horsepower to the 2.0

      My only issue with the 2.0 was the sound. I just couldn't like with it.....with an auto.

    Ray, OMG I did the exact same thing. I traded my 2015 v6 Mustang for the 2.0l 2017 Camaro RS. Ironically in the exact same color and trim as yours. lol Overall, I agree with your video. Both cars were good but if you like to drive a car that has a world class chassis and handles like it is on rails, the 2016 and newer Camaro's are the best bang for the buck out there. Loving my Camaro.

  • @nyfinancestudent
    @nyfinancestudent 6 лет назад +5

    This is an interesting trade! I used to have a 2.0T and I loved the initial feel of the torque kicking in, but felt the engine was not very linear in power delivery and seemed weak down low and up high. I always thought the V6 would fix the down low/up high torque issues, while compromising on the torque delivery/"push you back in your seat" experience.
    Glad to see you love the 2.0T. I traded my 2.0T in for an SS, but I do love the value that the 2.0T offers. I think it's one of the best values for any pony/sports car in the market right now.

    • @rueben44
      @rueben44  6 лет назад

      EXOthermicNYC Agree...it wasn't by...choice it was the cost of ownership...bad luck with that car. Still your correct I should have gotten the V6 and I do regret it now.

    • @nyfinancestudent
      @nyfinancestudent 6 лет назад +2

      Still, I think you have a sweet ride. That 2.0T is no joke. It has the least weight out of all of the Camaro options, so it is very light on its feet and more "quick" than it is fast. It gets up and goes, but loses steam on the top end. But that's essentially perfect for highway/road conditions. Enjoy the car!

      You won't be disappointed in the handling or ride of the car. It depends on you but I would not skimp on the comfort features. Like the ambient lighting and better stereo. I should not have skipped on that because it transforms the interior.

Lol I bought a 2018 camaro 2.0t in hyper blue, and I must say I’ve had so much fun in this car, most people complain about the visibility but honestly after a week I fell in love with the deep “tank” feel of the car, i had my mustang for three years and it was definitely a car that people stared at but I find this car to be so much more exciting especially with its defined curves! Great choice!
