I feel like the 5th gen is a Muscle car and the 6th gen is a sports car. I just love the retro muscle car look of the 5th. Pure timeless. 6th gen is def a great performer though!!
Thank you! That's the comparison that I was struggling to put into words!
You'd be surprised I have a 5th gen 1le has no problem keeping up with Porsches and other smaller lighter cars.
Well said and spot on.
Perfectly said
I think I would like to have a 6th gen Camaro with a 5th gen front end/dog house.
Y’all noticed the 5th gen look like a shark? I’ve always loved that
5th gen Camaro looks way better than the 6th gen Camaro.
Say that to my face rbrbrbrbrbrbr
I’ve learned if you don’t need all the fancy computer controlled electronics and want a more raw experience that will be cheaper to get into and maintain in the long run, go with the 5th gen, but if you need the screen, mag ride, NPP exhaust, and 4 different driving modes, then save your money to get a 6th gen
Feel free to cross out the NPP exhaust 😊 I got a flap-exhaust on my '11 Camaro. Regards from Germany
ZL1 Had that all of that in 2012 ! Except drive modes .
5th gen is way better looking!
5th gen 2ss for me! And I should say for most as sales show. No contest!
5th gen all day
Great comparison congrats on you recent purchase!
Pickrd up my 23 1ss riverside blue,black metallic stripe,npp,mag ride,recaros,red calipers, and of course the 6 speed,took yearand a half but sooo worth it
Sounds like a well-optioned beauty, best of luck with it. The hardest part is the 1500 mile break-in period, keeping it under 4000 RPM and 80 MPH...
5th gen ss but in a hard top i will always take over a convertible but its still nice i just like hard tops better
2023 camaro zl1
I love my camaro ❤️
I’ve owned both gens as well. My 2018 2SS just puts the biggest smile on my face. I loved my 2015 too don’t get me wrong but it was missing that extra special aggressive yet timeless modern look. They have gone backwards in looks since 2018 in my opinion. They straight up couldn’t make it look any better and tinkered it into extinction. From 2016-2018 had the best looking years for the 6th Gen. Those will look timeless while the 5th Gen already look old but cool old. My profile pic speaks volumes tho lol
For me no comparison the 6 is just better right lol!! Use to think i liked the 5 gens looks better till i bought my 6. After i was thinking i was trying to sell myself on the looks just because i owned one. Now i love the 6 looks handling performance all around much better car.
I seriously thought the exact same thing haha I would try so hard to convince myself the 5th gen looked better until I bought the 2018
I have two camaro RS 2012/ inferno orange metalic and 2SS /2012/45th anniversary convertible🎉 thank you ❤
Iv owned 5th gen now the 6 gen. For me no comparison love the 6 gen loved my 5 to but the 6 is just better all around. Iv also owned 2 gens and 3 loved them all but nothing like the 5 or 6 gen the drivability is just awesome.
Congrats sir!
I have the 6th gen though 1Lt. Love it.
4th gen > 5th but 6th gen > all lol owned em all and that 6th gen is a whole different monster have fun with ur purchase!!
I like the comparison of options. But can you compare wheelbase, chassis length, width, and sub-frame differences between the two.
I'm sure that's been done to death, especially in the first year of the 6th gen. This is my personal experience in owning/driving these two cars.
just got myself a 2022 Camaro SS 1LE that’s why i’m here
I had 2 F bodies, a 5th gen SS that I wrecked. I'm here to see if a 6th gen I'd for me or the 5th gen. I like the 5th gen better, but the bells and whistles of the 6th gen is so much better. But price and looks goes to 5th gen. 5th gen again it is!
Glad to help you make an informed decision! Thanks for checking out my video.
I like 5th Generation of Camaro feels like more Muscle Car to me and I also like New One but feel more into Camaro’s Bumblebee style
Had a 5th gen 2ss. Loved it wanted too see what the 6th gen had to offer The 6th gen takes the corners so fast and agile makes the 5th gen feel like I was driving a truck. But I miss the looks of the 5th tho 😢
5th Gen for me!
How hard was it to recover the seats with the replacement covers?
Do you just remove the old leather and put the new one in?
how is the fitment and will it stretch the same as the original?
It was difficult but not as bad as other things I've done. I steamed the seat foam to help refresh it and then stretched the new leather over it. The hogrings were the toughest part of the whole experience.
Props to the dude for rocking a booger the whole 11:16 lmao
Yes! You found the "Easter Egg"!
Dude I got the hot wheels edition 2018 got 5600 miles on it stays in the garage only bring it out when it’s beautiful out 8 speed transmission 455 hp 455 pounds of torque
Nice 6th gen. Why didn’t you go for the 1LE since you got magnetic dampers and Recaros anyway.
There were other options I wanted that were removed when you added the 1LE package. If I recall, 2023 MY prohibited a Sunroof on 1LE. It had been available in 2022. I also wanted specific wheels for this car instead of the standard 1LE wheel.
This is the first time hearing some people actually preferring the 5th gen Camaro.I pefer the 5th gen's styling and lack of so many electronic things.I went from a 5th gen SS to a 6th gen ZL-1 and then back to a 5th gen ZL-1 and I couldn't be happier. The 6th gen is getting away from what made the Camaro great.It almost looks like a European car.More sport looking than muscle.
I pick up my 5th GEN white ZL1 on Wednesday. One owner 22,000 miles. I can’t even sleep. lol
I have a 2015 2LT V6 Camaro! It is my first sports car and I love it. The goal for me is to get a V8 and step into the big boy league.
Them six-bangers ain't no slouches. More HP than the V8s had back in the day. All a six needs is the right exhaust and you're having just as much fun with a few more MPGs.
I currently have a 21 2SS and I had a 00 Z28. I didn't care for the 5th Gen. I just thought it looked to cheap, especially inside. No offense. The differences between my 2 are night and day. My Z, while fun to drive, would beat you up. The new one, refined is the right word. It feels like a luxury car that can handle and go fast. A lot of reviewers knocked the 6th Gens for "not having to work to get the power." I can agree with that, because even granny driving it in the small town I live in, it's still accelerating all the time. You really don't feel it until you hit close to 4k RPMs. At 2k RPMs, you can still hit 100 mph without a problem. The HUD on the windshield is a must have for this car to stay out of trouble. I imagine the ZL1's, Shelby's and Hellcats are downright scary at first.
My Z's sweet spot was around 1900 RPM's at 80 mph. Not 79, not 81, 80. LOL This one... The speed limits aren't high enough to find out without jail time. This car deserves a good amount of track time to find out; it was built for it.
Another thing is that my 4th gen had so many small modifications that could each add a considerable amount of performance because the car was so handcuffed from the factory with restrictions. There are no cheap modifications for this car listed on the aftermarket shops' online service menu. It's really dialed in right off the showroom floor at the dealer.
My only real knock isn't on the car, but on the tires GM used. Run flats. They don't really perform that well. If it's hot out and dry, they're alright. If not, they don't hook up to the road very well and this car has too much power for tires that don't stick well.
5th Gen should have been made in rhd based of GTO platform...
Your convertible is like 3400 pounds? Try over 4000. My hard top no sun roof SS is on the heavier side of 3800 pound range.
5th gen SS 323HP ???
🤔🤔🤔
Great comparison btw.
Not some fooling around or over the top review like many other clickbait losers here on youtube.
Thank you. I had no idea how people would respond to it. Thankfully it didn't come across as too self-serving.
Well don't keep us in suspense..... WHAT'S THE NAME GONNA BE???
I have something special planned, but it's gonna have to wait until she looks like the name represents. In the meantime, I've taken to calling her "Jane Doe" or "The New Girl".
You should have compared the 2014-15 5th gen with the facelift.
imho it looks much more refind
That would have required me actually owning a '14-'15.
It's looks way worse
"If you think you hate it now, wait til ya drive it!"@@keefy3482
@@carshowlife😂😂😂 Don't even look like something I would want to drive. I love the muscle car look
I had both 6th gen SS and a 5th gen 1LE. Hands down the 5th gen 1LE is the better driver's car and better quality car all around. A regular 5th gen SS unfortunately is pure ass as far as not fun to drive. You need a Z/28 or 1LE to wake it up. A true analog driver's car in an age of rolling computers like the 6th gen and 7th gen Vettes. I've done a full Z/28 suspension swap and weight reduction to make this 1LE a force to be reckoned with on autocross and track days. It's truly a god damned monster. Not a straight line beast at only 534rwhp but plenty quick to take advantage of it on a road course.
I also need to mention that the 2010 to 2013 look better than 6th gen. Especially with afterburner tail lights and ZL1 front end. The 6th Gen ZL1 1LE is close but it looks too soft like a typical 6th gen except for the big grille opening. God bless you, sir.
Should have got a manual if you really enjoy performance driving.
6th.Gen is lighter, faster, better handling, just way better in every way!
Better in every way except the looks of the front end.
@@JasonLewis42 I have a 2017 FiftyYear Anniversary Special Edition and I love the front end,it has a unique front clip that only the special edition has!
Ugly as hell otherwise nice car.
Looks? 😂😂😂
Sales indicate otherwise
5th gen is a good car but compared to a 6th gen it’s a pos
6th gen is good looking car, but compared to 5th it looks like a pos.
@@volvospede in what way is a 5th gen better than a 6th??? There’s none
@@danieldelgado3008 Where did I say that 5th is better than 6th?
@@volvospede you said it was better looking, which it’s not
@@danieldelgado3008 That is your opinion, nothing more. Zero F's given.
Dude-trim your nose hairs.
