    What a beautiful car, GM is absolutely making a mistake getting rid of the model. The LT4 and tremmec are gems...

      Hopefully, they will bring back a better Camaro with an updated v8.

    I had a blue 17 1SS 1LE 6 speed. I loved that car. I plan on getting a ZL1 here within the next few months. You may want to get some rock guards to limit the amount of rocks that the front tires throw towards the door and rear.

    • @thecarpergarage916
      @thecarpergarage916  Год назад +1

      You will love the ZL1! I have ZL1 Rock guards on both front and rear. I just didn’t highlight it in this video.
      I also have a Roto-fab intake, MPI, Inc. Supercharger lid, and LED front and rear side markers.
      Thanks for watching as well and love to hear back on the ZL1.

    I used to have a black Zl1 1lE going from charger hellcat to that the ride might not be smooth but handles amazing compared to the charger. I put 345/30/19 in the rear beefy tires. I miss it

    • @thecarpergarage916
      @thecarpergarage916  Год назад +1

      I went from a lowered Challenger Scat Pack on Eibach springs and it didn’t really change the stiffness for me. I guess I was use to it.
      Yes, it most definitely handles and sound awesome. The Hemi had a great sound as well with mid muffler delete.
      My favorite is switching from the ZF automatic transmission to 6 speed manual so that I can hold the gears longer. What a different driving experience.

    • @thecarpergarage916
      @thecarpergarage916  Год назад

      It’s definitely an elegant color for sure. I think they made the most cars in that shade in 2019. They discontinued the color in 2023. It will not be carried over into 2024.
      I highly recommend it. Thanks for watching as well.

    Why do you have the carpet under the tires?

    • @thecarpergarage916
      @thecarpergarage916  Год назад +3

      Good question. I’ve been putting carpet under the tires for years. It’s known to stop flat spotting when the car sits for extended time. Carpet under the tires is also to stop staining the cement where the car sits.

      I think we both are off on the wheel torque. The manual indicated 140, so retorqued them to 140 since the video.

    nice video..ive had my 19 z06 4 a year now..love it!!!!why doent any-1 ever bring up why the corvette has a 7 speed n the camaro..a 6 speed????you said you liked the 6 speed better..why????mine clunks in2 gear some times..does yours???

    • @thecarpergarage916
      @thecarpergarage916  Год назад +1

      Better EPA ratings. The C7 technically has two overdrives (6 & 7) and the Camaro just has one. The Corvette gets better gas mileage. It allows the seven speed to get by without the gas guzzler tax.
      Yes, the 7th gear is overkill and easily missed when shifting. 6th gear is fine for highway cruising. It’s just awkward to have that many gears.
      The reason it clunks into 2nd gear is the 1 to 3 gear eco function. If I’m cruising, I just shift into 3rd. If not, rev past 3500 or so, it should go into gear smoothly.
      TY as well for watching and the great question.

    Does it ride smooth or rough on bumps?

      I had PS4 on it so a little different than stock, but it’s firm on bumps. I think stock tires are worse.
