Can you do a "what the used cars to buy with a 20k budget in 2023" video?
The best thing I could find so far is a 2020 Honda accord with a lucky deal.
Scotty, that engine goes to 4 cyl while cruising, that’s why he’s getting 41 mpg. I thought you didn’t like engines that go from a v8 to a v4 while cruising?
That's a good one Scotty, 2021 🤔
Hey Scotty, did you loose a tooth?
Owner of the Camaro here. Thank you Scotty for featuring my car. This was a great experience and it was a pleasure meeting you!
I predict that the EV revolution will never completely eradicate gas cars.
the infrastructure needs to be upgraded to the tune of many trillions of dollars...probably won't happen
Of course not, there will always be a smaller assembly line for the elite who don't intend to give up anything.
Agreed 🤝
Any millionaire or billionaire that once a gas car is going to be able to get them even regular people I think you’re just gonna have to pay extra
No, but gas cars will go the way of the revolver
As a 4cylinder camaro owner, I love these cars no matter the engine size. Camaro Gang
As long as you don’t do a Honda civic exhaust, you do you broham lol
i agree above dont be the fart can man
I had a 69 Camaro, and an 02 V6 Camaro. Loved both. Did n't get to drive the 69 more than like three times before I had to sell it. Needed the money, food/rent or a car that needed work. The 02 I am still angry about losing and because of what happened I don't trust mechanics very much. Had one that purposefully killed the engine. 75k on that car. I have a 2000 V6 mustang... that is a project car, hope to get it back on the road again soon.
I used to have the turbo now gotta 1le I love both!
You should do a Honda civic exhaust.
40mpg in a powerful car like this with a V8 engine?! 😱😱😱😱 That's super amazing!!! I don't think I want a hybrid anymore, I want something like this!
same price, may as well
RPM and Torque, Low RPM and high Torque due to displacement, that's why some V8 have better mpg than say a 6 cylinder or 4 cylinder cars.
Camry owner "My 4 cylinder Camry gets 40 mpg" 😏
Camaro LE owner "So does my 455 hp SS...I just look way better doing it" 😎
Camry owner "😢"
Why would you get one in the first place?
You need a stranger on YT to tell you what you prefer? 😆
4 cylinders deactivated in highway speed. Thats why.
“I guess the world is turning to sheep.” This should be the quote of the year. So true.
Scotty I have A 2014 Camaro with a V 6 with 323 HP. I like it better than my 2017 stingray. I wouldn't sell it at any price. Smooth ride. Sleek look. Fuel economy. Handling is superb. Eight years problem free.
They need to keep it I’m upset by this! My family still works for GM and it’s upsetting that they want to get rid of everything that we liked.
You would be wrong. The crapmaro is a sales loser.
You and your family LIKED it but did you and your family ever BUY one? Lots of fanboys out there but not a lot of buyers. That's what happens with impractical RWD cars with no interior space that you can't see out of.

I have a 2022 2SS. I love it and its my daily driver. I will never get rid of this car🥰🥰. I smile every time I take off and hear that V8 rumble with my track exhaust. Sounds sooo good!!!
i have a 2017 silver ice metallic Camaro SS and i love the thing to death, she’s a beast!
Thanks Scotty! As a GM Fanboy, I'm accustomed to a 'daily kick in the face' from Scotty Kilmer, but this is for sure a 'breath of fresh air' ! GM does actually build some awesome vehicles, no matter how many 'Toyota Fanboys' say otherwise. Oh, and by the way, GM actually DID REPAY 100% of the American Taxpayer Bailout Loans with INTEREST!!! Look it up! It is a FACT !!!! Happy New Year!
Dreams
Gm is garbage.
Yeah, I honestly don’t understand why he doesn’t like GM at all. My family and I have had lots of their vehicles and they’ve been very reliable!
nope wrong
no gm used taxpayer money from an escrow tarp account to repay the loans. it was shenanigans. the govt took stock in gm and eventually sold all of it at a loss of 11.9 billion dollars. those are the FACTS look it up.
I have a 17 SS that I had supercharged and headers installed. Dyno turned to 600HP at the rear wheels. With a 6 speed manual she goes like a bat out of hell! It's not my daily driver, of course. Scotty if you are ever in Tampa, I'll let you take it out for a spin.
Happy New Year!
Which year of the SS camaro do you recommend?
@HerboSmoker 2016 through this year is the same generation. If you can get a 16, 17, or 18 at a decent price, I suggest you get it. But definitely get it checked out.
@@camaro5081 thank you kindly. I will look into 2018.
@@herbosmoker848 Get a 17 or 18. 2016 has an older version of the engine/transmission (although it's rarely noted anywhere). Also be warned that the A8 is known to have shuddering problems due to torque converter/fluid failures. Mine is in the shop right now for that issue... Imo the one to get is the 2017 if you can. You get a few small upgrades from 2016 (and more models), and it's the 50th anniversary year. All 2017s have a little commemorative piece at the bottom of the steering wheel, and you can buy/use accessories (i.e. floormats) with the Fifty logo without the guilt/shame of mismatching them. It's an incredible car with a great community and fantastic aftermarket. Best of luck!
✊🥇🏆
The end of an era it is... the Camaro will be forever missed
Indeed 😢
I have one rn I don’t want to sell it but I don’t want to miles on it
Driving a Camaro is such a unique experience. I love mine
6 gen owners ss owners appreciate this video from you
🙌🏻
I’m from Italy and I own one of these, I love American cars, wish so bad to have born in US…
Believe me you’re much better off where you are.
Get citizenship here bro, love to have people here who actually want to be here.
I've never seen scotty get excited over a GM product he's usually the first one to cut them down.
Ik right you know the Camaro is good😂
There's no replacement for displacement. It reminds me of my 69 Mustang Mach 1 with a 351C V-8 (I put that in from a '71 junkyard car). It had a new paint job, hood locks, ram air scoop, four headlights and fastback. Primitive by comparison to modern cars, but it was the best car I have ever had when it came to smiles and good feelings per mile. Everywhere I went people asked me about my Mustang with a big smile on their face. I showed a picture of it to my son decades later and he got the biggest smile on his face I have ever seen.
I don't doubt it. It's very sad to see that the future is gonna look bland and boring. You'll never catch me driving those batteries with wheels.
Yup rode in a new dodge journey with a 4 banger, 3 adults in vehicle, it was gutless.
Those were the days. I had a hard time as a teenager in the late '70's, trying to decide what used muscle car to buy when I could finally drive. Decent cars could be had back then for $2000 - $3000. The 69-70 Mach 1 was one I liked a lot. Wanted one with a 428 Cobra Jet.
The 351 C Cleveland was almost identical to the 351 W Windsor. I had the 1969 models. The 302
@@eddieboss5934 The 351C had the better flowing heads between the two but I had friend who had one with the 351C, it had a 2 barrel carb, I think it came that way. A lot of those cars in the day could gain a good amount of power with just headers, cam, intake and carb changes.
Happy New Year, Scotty.
I have a 2022 Camaro LT1 V8 w/ RS Package. Pretty base except for a few bells and whistles. But I have that 455 HP and beautiful exhaust sound. Same color as this car. Absolutely love it!
Me too 2022 LT1 Summit White 10 speed .👌
This video is soooo delightful Scotty, to give the car I’m in the market for so much praise and coming from you !! It makes me feel a lot better for my future purchase !
"Six piston Brembos in the front and four piston Brembos in the back. So it doesn't just go, it also STOPS!" 😆
Brembo brakes are expensive
@@nayelimunive5574 yeah very very expensive
$4500 for pads and rotors on that same setup. And that's not even carbon ceramic, which will be double the price
@german delariva I've been wanting to get them for over a year now. 😩
@@alwaysdrivendude we’re are you getting your rotors and pads , the dealership
Nothing like the roar of a Camaro V8, I had three!
I'm now 60 yrs old, and when I was a kid my uncle had a 375hp 396 chevy and I remember him saying that when the vacuum actuated cowl induction hood scoop opened up it was getting about 3 mpg...not much has changed...except for triple overdrive transmissions that makes it better for a spirited driver.
It really is a shame that this car will no longer be made. Thanks Scotty for a very well made and very funny video! You made my day with your craziness! Lol 😆
I have a 2010 2SS Camaro 6.2 liter 6 speed manual. Absolutely love it 💕
Nice, how many miles on it?

@@Hammernms 😮 even better the yellow one lfg
@@jake78441 I've been offered twice more than what I paid for it. Not happening. Keeper.
Awesome cars !!
That was instant mpg, the average mpg will be lower, for me the best I've gotten was 35mpg average. 2019 2ss
I got a 2022 LT1 in a lease. Was daily driving it but I was able to get a second "winter car" last week so the 2 winters I drove it (required snow tires) were light. I think I'll just bite the bullet and keep it. Glad it's got Scotty's stamp of approval. But seriously it seems like GM put effort into these cars, those guys really cared about making a good vehicle. Can't say much about their other hunks of junk they sell. I love my Camaro, was a dream car when I was younger and glad I got into one before they were killed off.
So glad I got me one. Never trading!
My dream restoration car is still a 1968 Z28 with Hurst Mystery Shifter, Midnight Blue Metallic. I’d kill for one.
Holding on to my 18 2SS for sure now!!!
There's no replacement for displacement.... Happy New Year, Scotty!!
Happy New Year, Scotty! 🎉🎉🎉
Ev vehicles won't replace traditional cars until all manufacturers use the same plug n play batteries for easy swap so everyone can go to a "station" (as we do now) and get "feuled" up or a new battery is engineered that can store more power and can be charged extremely fast without damaging the unit. When this happens, all the ev vehicles made today will become obsolete.
That moment will take a decade to get it done. 😂👍
no most people charge their ev at home. and most don't drive hundreds of miles a day. so most will eventually have an ev. if they get the price down then it will become an avalanche. people will get used to 1/2hr to charge if doing it at a supercharger or they will only do 15 minutes till they get home. people without a house or ability to home charge may not buy an ev.
I concur, and NIO in China have already been doing it since about 2020.
This is instant MPG NOT average MPG on that freeway trip.
Lmfao thank you the owner of that car is tripping balls. There’s no way he gets 41mpg in that car.
@@Koghent One must manually calculate MPG to get a real answer. I would suppose if driven at 75 mph on the freeway for an entire tank, it would be around 25-28 mpg.
2022 LT1 same engine, auto trans, I get close to 20 mpg hwy & city. It is great to drive! Always fun.
Happy New Year Scotty!
I bought a ZL1 3 weeks ago. It was a impulsive buy. I am very happy to hear good things about it from Scotty. I really really care what Scotty says about cars. It was a relief for me. Car is for my son. Was At dealer for Corvette but didn’t want to wait for it. Bought ZL1 which someone ordered but can not buy anymore
Team Camaro 🥇🏆
I want to keep mine always
I like how you acknowledged the Recaro seats being on their own level 💫
I have to have one of these 1 day, 2015 RS is a great daily.
Dad had a 71 Z-28.
Great video it was awesome seeing Charles and his Camaro being featured on your channel, tons of useful info too!
❤😊
@@Jearhby Haha how did I know you would find this 😆 btw the front splitter doesn't look so bad.
Happy New Years Scotty!!!!
The only vehicle I bought from GM was the Camaro. However, GM has always treated the Camaro like the step child. The Camaro could have been much better and sold more if GM didn’t neglect it in order to put more attention on the Corvette. GM as a corporation doesn’t have pride in it’s products, only cares about the bottom line, which is why I stopped buying their garbage in 2002.
Breaks my heart knowing the Camaro and Challenger I going bye bye. I own a Mustang GT and love it, but I love Camaros and Challengers as well. Chevy and GM really hurt their enthusiast fan base with that decision. The Mustang wins the battle by default, but it still sucks for the car enthusiast the loves American Muscle/Pony Cars.
Nice cars I love my 1LE 👍🏽!!
Scotty, you missed talking about the 1LE package with the magnetorheological shocks, and how the steering effort changes with ride selection. I have a 2019 SS with 1LE with the Tremec 6 spd manual. I did not order it with enhanced electronic comfort stuff... this car incredable.
Bought a new 1SS Back in 2018. I've taken it to the track at least once a month. 0 problems!
Is the Camaro a slow seller? Its pretty crazy to destroy a very recognizable brand worldwide especially after the Transformers films. The future of cars is getting very bleak, we can only hope guys like Akio Toyoda and Stephen Winkelman are more influential on the industry's future.
-> “Mustang” …😢
-> “Camaro” …😩
-> ????? …🫣
It's been a sales loser for a decade. The Fast and Furious crowd is a very tiny one. High insurance and high gas prices are bad mix.
@Jack Meeoff I'm stunned anybody would pay $80,000 for a Chevrolet anything? That is the price of a used home around here.
Suvs are more practical for the people who can afford them. Most the people looking at buying a camaro can't afford one especially a v8, for a lot of people the 4cyl or v6 just seems like a waste that's how I see it anyways.
@@Yophillips3272 actually the situation is that those who can afford them, are buying Dodge or Ford.
I had a 2021 Camaro (my profile pic) sadly it got totaled from someone running a red light. But I’m happy I’m alive still
Had one of these, absolutely loved the thing. I averaged over 30mpg on flat highways up here in northeast OH. I could cruise at 80mph in 6th gear and the rpms would stay buried.
Well that sucks. Australian V8 supercars have just transitioned over to Camaros and Mustangs after we stopped producing Holden's. Electric racing is no fun.
I know what you mean. I have a 2008 Pontiac G8 and most suspension/chassis parts and even engines are compatible with the 5th Gen. Camaro built on the same chassis platform. It just has 4 doors and you can see out of it.
The saying is: There's no replacement for displacement.
Can't beat that natural V8 Sound no whiny super charger
I got a ‘18 1SS m6 & when I really get on it, I can see my gas hand move. Both my Camaro & Hellcat are straight-piped, my neighbors LUV it 🏎️💨💨💨
Im glad i got my 2022 2SS with the 1LE because they removed a lot of options for the 2023 models. Also, 40+ miles per gallon? Does he never encounter traffic?! Im over here in NYC and I get AT MOST...14 miles a gallon ON A GOOD day, which are rare, 90% of the time its 11 to 12 😬I only really get to enjoy the power late at night. When I do go on long trips my MPG raises A LOT and I barely make a dent in the gas.
As Hank Jr says, hell or nyc is the same to me😂
If the 2023 is less techy I’d be all over it.

The 2014 Mustang GT/CS convertible gets about 24 mpg on the interstate if I keep my foot out of it. That’s amazing 41 mpg.
Outstanding video and presentation
Scotty, you are the Mr Rogers of the automotive world. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood garage.
I like the original Gen 1 67. The RS SS combo looked so smooth.
I had a 1967 RS/SS with the 350 engine. It was always fun to drive, especially in straight lines.
Wish I still had it.
When I bought it it cost $650 which was a big sum of money. (1975) lol.
I have a 2019 2SS 1LE 6 speed manual. My favorite car I have ever owned. It is so much fun to drive. Handles like a dream at the track.
I just bought a 2023 camaro LT1 and I love it. It’s a treat to drive.
That Camaro would be fun to drive, but I’d still rather have my 67 Camaro. And I have the rattles down to just one now.
I traded my 67 RS SS Camaro Vert for a 2013 ZL1 vert. The 13 is more fun, handles better, safer etc.
@@annathemaanderson4448 not to be offensive but u not very smart.
@@pmscalisi Sir, I am an analytical chemist. I might be smart, obviously that would be for others to judge. You have to understand that a 50 year old car has electrical wiring problems,etc. These are not very economical to address. So I traded off my problems, for a more powerful vehicle, with zero issues. Please note that my 67 Camaro was a real live car at one time. Driven in Ohio Salt belt winters. If my 67 was on par with updated wiring etc. I wouldn't have traded it off. Maybe you have a better understanding now of why I did what I did. Maybe you would have done a similar thing if it were your decision, knowing some of the facts that went into why I did what I did.
Dealerships killed the camaro skyrocketing the prices and nobody buy them... hence why Mustang GT out sold Camaros
I find that cars that go to "road" tracks have better upkeep than normal cars because we have to have them tested everytime before going on the track... we change pads, rotors, tires, suspension, etc.. for upkeep
Now that’s a beautiful freakin car right there! LOVE IT!
Garbage
You can never have enough power Scotty!
Scotty I do the 50% oil life change which turns out to be around 3500 miles and my oil test results are fantastic and my engine is in great shape

@@miggieSmallZ923 no Julio. The 50th were only one color and you got a build cert. when you bought your car. If I place a Cadillac badge on my car does that mean it is a Cadillac? Are you trying to be cute or are you just ignorant of the 50th run they made?
43MPG on the highway while making 455HP? We’ve definitely come a long way, my 1980 el Camino gets like 6MPG on the highway 😂
I’ve ridden in a 2019 corvette stingray with the same 6.2 v8 with 455 horsepower. 455 horses is a lot of power, you can’t even utilize it’s entire potential on the street. It’s crazy fast
my 2.9 v6 Porsche pushes out more HP… such a big engine and still not competitive…
@@wittytech7288 I would rather own a Corvette than any Porsche. Mainly because their cheaper to maintain and own in the long run.
For example the 2020 ZR1 Corvette has 755 HP, you would need a 2020 Porsche 911 Turbo S to compare to ZR1. That Porsche 911 Turbo s costs over 40k$ more. Very soon Corvette will be releasing an 800+ HP range model. By 2025 or so GM has stated that they will come out with/ release a hybrid gas/electric Corvette that's 1000 HP.
Corvette has always been a very competitive affordable sports car. A long time ago my dad had a 1966 Corvette 427, those had 425 HP stock. His would run 11.9's quarter mile ,with stock motor + 👍 drag strip tires. That's technology from almost 60 yrs ago.

I'm mad as hell too, what is the matter with GM, are they insane!
GM, like all other major vehicle manufacturers, take their orders from the government.
Yes. The great Potato has made them all that way in the US.
WOW! What an awesome car. I LOVE the sound of the engine. I love that it's a pure V8. I have no clue as to how they can engineer it to get 43 mpg. That's insane. I especially love how the owner is taking care of it. Good on ya, man! You rock! I'd love to take a ride in this. If you're ever in the Montgomery, AL area, please contact me. I'll take you to lunch for a ride in it. (You drive, of course.)
Dude, go to a dealer and test drive one!!! Might as well!
43 MPG going down hill with a tail wind and foot off the gas .
@@Brian-dh9lp They can get a muscle car get that kind of mpg but they can't get their half ton trucks with the 5.3 to do even half that. I have a base model GMC that's only a standard cab and only rear wheel drive. I'm getting an average of 16.1 mpg in the summer months, just under that in the winter with the stupid cylinder deactivation and on top of that, I'm a conservative driver and not hard on my vehicles.
Maybe cylinder deactivation?? Scotty??
10 speed automatic transmission
Cylinder deactivation mode. Car runs on 4 Cylinders when traveling at speed.
Track is ideal. To many potholes on regular roads for low profile tires these days. Especially with winter climates
Awesome episode!
Made my day!!
I own an identical SS 1LE and can't anywhere close to that mileage..no matter how much I feather it
Try a ZL1. I traded my 6 speed 2019 ss and easily got 30 mpg. Now I barely get 10 going slow in my 10 speed zl1.
If you have a manual that could be why. The autos have AFM so you go into "v4" mode when driving "normal"
This is the owner of the car. It’s a 10 speed auto and the temperature was ideal, the road was flat, and cruise control from 60-70. You should get really good mileage. 2:55
@@gankahbro how I got a 23 lt1 and barely get near 19
Mines a 10L80 as well. I really should've wrote that in the past tense. I couldn't get anywhere near that mileage. Mine was around 18-19 too. I still have the car, but it's been tuned and running E85 now. Averages around 14 but the fuel is $1.99. Mileage wasn't a big concern for me, but I was blown away when I saw his mpg.
Mine is a 2010 V6 with better gas mileage but close enough. Thanks Scotty! 😎🖖
I have a 2018 ZL1 , I love it
Fun watch Fun Car.
I like the Mustang too but they a dime a dozen and the newer Camaro is a sweet ride indeed.
I liked those IROC Camaros from the late 80s with the Corvette 350. I just wish Chevy had offered them with a manual transmission. Those things could take a beating and a lot of owners gave them just that. It got harder and harder to find them because so many people totaled them.
Cash for clunkers eliminated a shitload too.
I owed a few of those. High maintenance, not great cars. Haha that was the 80s though!
They did
@@steveauston6020 that's not true.
Fun to drive around town. Long distance sucked, uncomfortable seats. Heavy doors that wore out the hinge pin bushings all the time. Ball joints front end replacements, cheap diffs, manual transmissions issues, intake leaks, injector issues, electric fuel pump replacements from hell, driveshaft, U-joints, vibration issues, T-top leaks, plastic radiator tank leaks and so on. Daily driver's back in the day. Lots of maintenance. Okay if it's just a summer toy
The writing was clear a couple of years ago when they stopped offering a manual transmission.
The only option left is the Mustang, so get one and hold onto it while you still can.
Transmission has nothing to do with it. It's been a sales loser for over a decade.
Great video 👍 It was interesting to see how the V4 mode gets used more often with an automatic transmission. I have a stick shift 1Le, and I get 12mpg. I don't care. But with a stick shift, you can't use the V4 mode that often 😅
Hi Scotty, here is a good one,7th December, a car transporter with electric Jaguars on, brand new, caught fire, they weren’t even delivered to the dealerships!!!.
it's always a sad day for someone
i bet elon musks of the world will be able to buy Ferrari SUVs with V12 engine for a long time though, while everyone else is forced to use self-driving electric pods made by tesla
Until one day, they all receive orders form the cloud to drive the occupants to a concentration camp to be disposed of for the health of the "environment"... 😱
Bro y u gotta spit facts like that?? Shits annoying. All these rich folk will buy the actual interesting cars while shamelessly advertising products they aren't using, while the general public will have to mind numbingly use the self driving pods.
@@lawnmower6591 well said actually but we’ll see how it ends up working out for them lol
That's really good, it makes me want to get one of those
So Scotty. What is a more reliable V8? A Chevy or Dodge push rod V8 or ford overhead cam V8?
Everything Americans love is being taken from us!
Did GM actually announce the Camaro is going to be a 4 door SUV? Last I heard that was a rumor.
They’ll probably try to desecrate it in similar fashion as Ford did with the Mustang.
I wish they’d just drop the name and call it a Bel Air or something like that.
Yes, Scotty said a normal engine will last long if you change the oil regularly.
I just bought a 1985 Chevy Camaro Z28 back in August. Got a Tuned Port Injection with 215 horsepower with 15 city and 22 highway gas mileage. Boy those were the days. Technology has come a long way with Camaros today.
Back then why people buy a new slower car when they can buy a 10 plus year older faster car
ICE ICE BABY! Screw EV's & using the same name on a SUV, dumb GM for following Ford Mustang! Shameful to lose yet another classic sport sedan. DAMN the EPA for making these companies change their manufacturing to suit the green standard. Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR SCOTTY! Thanks for another YEAR of great videos! CHEERS my friend! Stay safe & enjoy!
A "Corvette EV SUV". RIDICULOUS!!!
EVs are nothing but glorified golf carts.
Scotty, I watch a good number of your videos (and enjoyed all of them) but haven't seen all of them, so forgive me if you've already done this, but it would be interesting to see your car collection. Kind of like what Jay Leno does. That would be a great video.
Wonder if the camera here. I’ve been to his house. His car collection is literally his Cilicia and his wife’s Lexus 😂 he’s extremely modest when it comes to owning cars.

Definitely right its not the same i got a v6 maro. Ready for that extra 130hp
i remember your video about GM getting rid of the Camero sometime back and it’s a shame GM doesn’t know their customers 🙄
Ford and Dodge either. Turbos, dont make me laugh.
Having tested the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger 10 years ago I went with the Challenger and still love it to this day!
They are all 3 great cars its a matter of preference. I chose camaro due to best handling steering and tech. The challenger is more old school muscle car.
@@seafooddiablo5686 That’s true, I ultimately went with the challenger due to the retro aesthetic of both the body and interior.
I knew about torque vs horsepower for many years before I experienced the quite graphic example of torque vs horsepower when an acquaintance built his Mercury Capri II. He supposedly got 140 HP out of it when he got the engine up to some high engine speed, same as my stock Sunbeam Tiger. But he had no torque, which my Tiger had plenty. (Supposedly) same horsepower, but a significant difference in torque. Joe
Torque is force - horsepower is calculated from torque. Companies can fudge things to have high hp but low torque (Honda for example). Ever race a honda uphill?
2 grand for pads and rotors all the way around? Calling cap on that. You can go get slotted and drilled rotors and carbon fiber pads for a little over $500 for the front and rear, and those are high performance brakes.
