As a Camaro owner I do love the feeling i get while driving this car. I always feel as if I’m on the hunt. And I believe that has everything to do with the driving position you are in while in this car. Blind spots are “Bad” but the car is loud, it has an attitude, and it looks like it is stalking you whenever it behind someone. It is a menacing car that does what not many cars on the road today can do. And that is make driving fun. When I was a kid and got my license it was fun to drive. And this car has brought that back. Chevy I just have one question why are you killing this outstanding car? 😢😢😢
honestly I kept hearing about "blind spots" but after having purchased one I don't feel this is an issue at all. If anything it feels like I have better blind spot visibility than a typical sedan.
@lorian4366 I received my 2022 in May of this year I have had to adjust to the blind that is over my left rear shoulder. I am basically a 6ft tall individual so maybe it is my seating position 🤔 but I must stay aware of who is around me. Dispite that. This car is still awesome to drive. I will hang on to it for as long as my leg will keep pushing the clutch. I hope the same for you.😄
@@rmpullenii I see I was mainly referring to the right rear blind spot. For my left I usually just have my window open and peek out if need to 😁. Thanks for the wishes and hope indeed you enjoy yours for as long as it drives.
So, I bought a new 2024 Mustang GT premium in May, so I've had it for about a month now, and at first I was very very skeptical about the interior and the large screens. As a classic muscle car person, I'm ashamed to admit they are actually really nice. From a practical standard, they are super convenient and very easy to use when driving, especially with the manual transmission. The one thing I will still say is that there should be physical climate buttons. Overall the car is awesome, super happy with it.

@@jameslopez5652 well of course the times will flip on a track with bigger straight aways considering it's got almost 300hp more. That's where the ZL1 comes in which still puts up better lap time's with still less power.
@@jameslopez5652 The fact that a ZL1 will pace the GT500 on a longer track and cost the same as a Dark Horse Mustang is incredible. I had a previous generation GT with the PP2 and the MT82, which is such a crappy transmission - I longed for a Tremec.
@@thetruthhurtsisee whats it like driving one if those on a daily? Like do you feel you have to much car for day to day use? I ask cuz I’m thinking a SS would be to much car for me. So looking at a LT1 trim.
@@dnegel9546 its super easy to drive as my daily. my pervious daily was a wrx sti so when its rains in miami its nowhere near as confidence inspiring but in the dry its phenomenal and has more traction but it has traction control so that solves alot of problems in the rain. i immediately suggest the 1le or zl1 305 goodyear supercar3 tires and rims because the base ss and the lt1 tire size is way to small for the power. cool burnouts but horrible off the line traction. the ss and lt1 have the same motor and transmission but the lt1 has tiny brakes, basic suspension. you can save the money but please upgrade the brakes and tires as they're laughably tiny. i think for the first month i was like wow this is powerful now i drive it and im ehhhh i need more power. the car is super easy to drive with linear easy to control power. not a good car for a teenager but great for someone who has had fast sports in the past. i got a 1le which is basically a zl1 without the supercharger so everything on the car is overdeveloped for the minimal power it produces as its made for a 650 hp car and now making only 600 it still isn't up the limits of what the car can handle just be ok with smiles per gallon because the mpg is atrocious nut its a v8 so par for the course.

@donaldkinder6716 Who won this race is all that matters. Accept it lol. For the price of the mustang, it's a good buy. Both are bang for the buck if you want an affordable fun car. Honestly I like both for the price, but I'm to old for these types of cars now. I've had several in my years. Much faster cars, so technically neither of these are just monsters but for the price point they're awesome. They can't handle a Ferrari 296, McLaren 765lt or Porsche 911 turbo but good cars for the price.
@@montecarloss305 I am a 6th Gen Camaro owner. But sales wise, the car was am absolute disaster. GM did nothing to help it during the fresh with it's resign.

I am fortunate enough to own a 21 SS 1LE 6M. I have owned a few iconic Japanese, German, and British sports cars over the years, but this is my first American sports car. I decided on it because of reviews and videos like this. I love the driving experience. It's got incredible grip and makes you want to push it all the time. Problem is the limits are so high that you're always way over the speed limit. 2 tickets in the first 4 months and had to go to court to fight to keep my license. It's like the "bad influence" friend that keeps getting you in trouble but is so much fun to be with. Thanks for the great videos! (and the recommendations....I think)
Yeah having a muscle car or any sports car in general takes a lot of throttle discipline aye dont look at it in a negative way !! Its a blessing u have ur license still nd u gotta beautiful car also its a blessing u didnt crash it or anything!!

@@scarface9617 the Camaro absolutely hauls ass! I get that there are faster cars but it’s definitely not slow! I want a c7 so bad. That’s my favorite Corvette despite the c6 being the most iconic. When I think Corvette I think of the c6 design. I love the c8s. They’re truly a work of art. I personally think Chevy is missing an opportunity to offer the c8 engines in a 7th Gen Corvette but as a front engine RWD vehicle with the 10spd Auto and a MANUAL. That’s people’s biggest gripe about the c8, no manual.
More like biased review how are you going to take a review of an ss 1le dedicated track focused variant of the ss versus base GT ? That’s like comparing the dark horse to the base Camaro SS … very stupid comparison these RUclips nerds aren’t as smart as you think they can’t even get the models right
I mean it’s true. Having had a 2013 mustang and a 2018 Camaro, it’s a drastically different feel inside the car. You feel higher up and have more room in the mustangs than In the Camaro, Which feel like you’re sitting on the ground
Yeah, they should have put the Corvette's LT-2 engine in the Camaro for it's send-off year. The 495HP might make a difference especially considering they increased the price.
Dodge would’ve done that. Dodge also would’ve supercharged it and put it in a Camaro. And they would’ve put a supercharged LT2 in the Silverado ZR2. Unfortunately GM is succumbing to wokeness and abandoning what’s made them who they are. Makes 0 sense
@@keylago220because the dohc v8s are for their new Corvette lineup, if they sold their premium dohc in a Camaro no one would buy the Corvette especially if the Camaro still offered 6 speed manual
There's no way that will be the end....I would imagine they will bring It or some other car back in the distant future. It will take time after they figure out electric isn't the end all be all.
Great review as always. I think this really goes to show the chassis of the Camaro is beyond world class. The engineers outdid themselves. I'm sure the Dark Horse will be great but the 1LE is the one I would take home if I had an extra 60k. I'd do the manual, big cam, tune and exhaust. That's the dream.
100% I would also take the camaro....heads, cam, intake would be amazing on it. The camaro I bet still runs within a second or so of the dark horse. Mark my words! I bet the dark horse is about a second quicker than the ssle, and for half the price. Why wouldn't you get a camaro?? If I'm spending 70-80k. I'm getting an actual fast car, a c7 z06 or c6 zr1, not a glorified mustang gt.
The new mustangs are hideous. Except the dark horse doesn't look as bad. I didn't like the grill on this camaro as much. I like the 2018 grill better. I think the camaro looks better overall.
I love my 2SS. I've taken it to the track so I know what it can truly do. It's so much fun at fast speeds around corners. SUPER SMOOTH. Not to mention the ZL1 Wing I have on mine helps with that, but does affect your visibility when looking at your inside mirror. The front headlights just give off that Deathstare like it's ready to fight and that's before I put a front splitter on and canards. With those it's gonna look even more mean looking.
Yo the scene when James was talking about the end of the camaro and drifted around the corner and then Thomas broke into the frame drifting behind him in the mustang was absolutely peak automotive content and I ran it back 3 times 🔥🔥🔥
@@_Quattr09camaro is the better Ferrari. You don’t need millions to buy a big engine with plastic around it. Ontop of that, the parts and maintence doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and will drive just as fast around a track. And you’re not signing your life away to Ferrari
Calm down. That's just the GT as in Grand Touring. It didn't have performance tires or magnetic shocks. This is the model meant for street racing. ALSO IT'S NOT DEAD! GO DIG YOUR CAMARO UP! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 JKJK.
Yeah I thought he was too harsh 😅. And I’m not knocking the camero. The 1LE is an outstanding track car. But that mustang should be a little quicker than he was with it. I mean, he spent 2 minutes bitching about the steering feel and under steer. I have an older mustang and I think the steering is great; and I’ve never thought it had too much under steer either. Hopefully the new ones aren’t really that bad?😬
It definitely is. The Mach 1 wasn't much of an improvement for the price, and the current gt makes the same as the bullit did, but with an extra throttle body. I personally felt like the Bullit handled like ut was on rails
It’s such a shame that Camaro is going away. I wish more people knew exactly how fantastic the SS/1LE really is. Sure there are faster cars, but it is the absolute most bang for your buck currently available across the entire world. It is an incredibly capable track car out of the box. And no, we’re not talking about drag racing for those confused. We’re talking about road course lapping. Anyone can drive in a straight line. This thing out laps just about everything aside from supercars. This includes many Porches, Jaguars, Most Corvettes, and everything GT 350 and lower from Ford. The list goes on, and it’s at the very least $20k cheaper than the cheapest of them all. None of these stand a chance against an SS/1LE. It’s the best common man’s Camaro ever built! Truly an anomaly!
I Love my 22 2ss 1le. if anything were to happen to mine I would hands down get another! both the mustang pp2 and the supra were on my list as the 2ss 1le's are quite hard to come by unfortunately plus the price increase and market adjustments im so glad I got mine when I did. great honest review as always
Im on my 3rd camaro going from a 13" 2SS, 16" 2SS, and now the 21" 1SS 1LE and my god... my family was fotunate enough to own a C8 and a "21 vantage, and I have to say that the 1LE is definitely the best car in the corner and gives you so much confidence in driving! Would recommend to anyone considering to get it.
I wouldn't say it was better than the C8 but was damn close to it but the 16 2SS I had was definitely not as sharp around the corner. The sound is definitely better than the C8 thought surprisingly 😂
Got to get the Dark Horse with that 6 speed Tremec 🔥 This demonstrates the problem with the Camaro and why it's outsold by the Mustang every year. The Camaro is the better track car. The Mustang is the better street car.
It's been fun watching the Mustang/Camaro lineage evolve over the past 25 years. The only thing that's baffling is paying 20-45% premium every model year refresh for a laughable 10% performance increase.
I love my 2SS. It's a shame the stigma of poor visibility seemed to really effect its sales because it is fantastic and visibility isn't an issue. I wonder how the much lighter lt1 or 1SS would compare on a drag race with the new GT
@@RobQuincysFather2012 trunk is very small. Especially compared to when I had a challenger. I daily my Camaro and I promise you it isn't nearly as big of an issue as you think. The 2SS makes it even better with the camera rear mirror and blind spot momitors
I don't think poor visibility was the main issue; the main issue is the interior is cramped. I went to check one out in 2016 after it won the COTY awards. The sales people were cussing them; funny how a car can win COTY and actual buyers turn away. In contrast the S550 Mustangs got oh-hum to bad reviews and it's been a run away best seller.
What you say about the mustang steering is 100% correct. I sold my 2021 5.0 GT for a 6.2 Camaro and I couldn't be happier with the upgrade. The steering and the way the Camaro attaches to your body is like the movie Avatar. And for my testing the best 0-60 I could ever muster with my mustang was 4.5 with my Camaro I ran a 4.3 1st try..
I mean stock for stock yes, but mustang have aftermarket suspension/wheels/ tuning if they tune its suspension it will keep up with the camaro on track times
@@blaqjac21depends on what money/suspension youre talking about because ive seen mustangs that are quicker around the track than a camaro with cheaper mods
I want the dark horse performance pack versus The Mach One handling pack versus the Camaro super sport 1le. That is the video everybody's been waiting for. It would be awesome to compare the track times between all of this top trips in one sitting.
@al151 While I agree with the premise, we all know the zl1 would smash the darkhorse. I've yet to see a really good SS 1LE vs Mach 1 video. Randy Pobst did one but was kinda mismatched.
Watching Carston attempt to abscond with the goats was pure comedy gold, but James leveling up his drifting skills is the real MVP moment here! 💪🔥 I can't decide what's more impressive, the progression of driving finesse over the years or the unadulterated humor that seeps through every video.
I’m sad to see the Camaro go, but good news is that there always gonna be available. Just cause there won’t be anything new doesn’t mean you can pick one up! Go Chevy
I know that modifying/modified cars isn’t really your wheelhouse, but it would be really interesting to see a sort of comparison between the new Mustangs and the previous-generation model with, like, a good suspension upgrade/etc. Given how much Ford kept from the old car it would seem like a buyer could get a tremendous amount of value today by buying something used and making some smart purchases in the Mustang’s enormous aftermarket.
Question... did you ever ask yourself why the mustnag aftermarket is so large? This is from a former mustnag owner that in the past has dumped thousands and thousands of dollars into mustnags. I know the answer to the question above and wonder if you and your peers know.
@@cartilagehead Alternatively, it's because the focus on the Mustangs isn't really racing performance so you goto the aftermarket to plug that hole. I say that as a S550 Mach 1 owner. I wouldn't be against letting TH track my car, I'm probably 300 miles from them so it's a doable drive. But my car is the auto without the HP.
@@VagrantZero84 I think a lot of the focus on tracking cars is really misplaced, unless you happen to have $10-20k to burn on top of whatever mods/upgrades and the actual time to do it regularly. I want the best on-road dynamics and enjoyment, maybe with a semi-annual trip to the track, and for me that means trying to find the best balance between handling and comfort. People just seem to really hate on the recent Mustangs all of the time "oh it's mostly great, but the suspension is really floppy compared to the Camaro" "oh it's mostly great but the manual on the GT isn't as strong or as nice as you can get in the pricier 'track focused' models" "oh it's mostly great but they made the gearing ratio all wrong" etc.
@cartilagehead6326 Stock they sucks it took a full revamp of my suspension on mine to make it feel good. Sadly there was no fix for the lack of steering feel so I sold it.
Costs are outrageous. The 1LE package on my 2015 Camaro SS was only $3,500! It’s also a 2SS with every option but Recaro seats. It was still only $45k! Don’t even get me started on my King Ranch F-150 and how much they’ve gone up since 2015…
@@7000U9ZHIFT truthfully, given that this car will consistently pull 1.1-1.2 G on back roads without breaking a sweat, power was more of a concern. Cam and headers and it made an extra 80 WHP. The only thing I did for handling was add the Z/28 spoiler with duckbill. I also run PS4S tires, which are definitely better than the factory Goodyears.
@@blaqjac21 I didn’t want the Recaro seats in my car bc I’m a wide dude and I do a lot of cruising and road trips. My brother’s 6G has Recaro seats and they’re a bit tight for me. And yeah, you’re right, bc I was considering a 1LE in 2018/2019 before prices jumped from covid BS.
These guys are the the perfect balance between stupid and smart. They are smart enough that I trust what they are saying, but stupid enough to keep me entertained the entire time. By far the best car review channel!
The Camaro for having an LT1 that hasn’t been touched since the year it came out in 2014 is still incredible. You can’t beat that car around a track unless you have something much more expensive. Great car.
What a joke. Putting the 1LE against a regular GT and complaining about how dull the GT is around the track. Test should have been against the SS only. Apples and oranges guys. Purpose built track car vs regular car.
This is why I’ve never had a Mustang .. to get the same track performance as SS1LE I would’ve had to go to a GT350. Great car but performance/dollar never made sense. Bespoke motor or not, performance capabilities matter for a track car. Mustang interiors also always looked like 10 years in the past
I was shocked to hear that people think the Mustang looks bad. Seeing it in the evening sun and speeding around the track I thought it was the best looking generation of mustang (Arguable though because I really like the 2005-ish era).
It’s not bad looking but I had a chance to look at the S650 and S550 sitting next to each other at an auto show and the S650 looks bulkier, bigger, and has lost a lot of sleekness. And that rear quarter screams Camaro.
We just bought a ‘24 gt. Test drove the ss and it is small, cramped and outdated. It’s not even in the same ballpark. As the ‘24. Our son convinced her to try the gt as she was hell bent on the Camaro.
Just bought a 23’ SS 1LE sharkskin metallic & guys I can not say how happy I am with it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it was going 15 vette but I’m glad I picked this!
Thank you guys it was great to see the new Mustang on the track. I will have few propositions for your leaderboard. If you add model year of the cars to the board we can better understand what car is listed. Secondly, lap times would be fairer if you both drive the same car and pick the best time out of those laps.
i had a mustang gt and a challenger scat pack. i was very surprised how good the new camaro ss drives. i still like my challenger the most but to be honest, the new camaro ss drives amazing 🎉
I have been wanting to see a drag race between the Mustang and the Camaro since they first came on the scene. The cowboy kicking the goats at the end of the first race was hilarious. Thank you.
I’d love to have these guys use my 18 1LE with a naturally aspirated 416 stroker motor making 600whp with some fresh cup 2 tires, Dot5 brake fluid, and a track alignment go up against a Dark horse. In a way it was my shot at making the 6th gen Z28 that never came to fruition. Throttle house hit me up!
Don't worry about ol' double question mark up there 👆😂😂😂 I knew what you meant and you're 100% right. S550/650 just doesn't have the weight balance to keep up. Back end is noticeably way too light so it just digs the front end through corners. Just like with any car though, you can make them track monsters if you know what to do with em
Can we just take a moment and please appreciate how absolutely hysterical these guys are. I mean for Christ's sakes they were out there filming goats taking a shit and taking a piss for an add. I mean who does this? But it is absolutely brilliant and hysterical. I absolutely love throttle house. You guys are awesome
I almost got one but I ended up not being able to sell one of my other cars in time, and someone else bought the Mach 1 I was looking at. Biggest regret in life besides a previous failed relationship
Mach 1 on those cup 2s is very impressive. I was ripping up GT4s in my last session in one, bone stock except X-pipe. Some lowering springs, sway bars, more aggressive camber should really make it a missile.
Ok let's make sure I have this correct. Up until this video the Camaro SS 1LE was just an ok car. And not as fun to drive as mustang. Now that the talking heads have come to their senses and moved past their frod biases the Camaro SS 1LE is "the" performance and track car to have in the segment? Camaro owners have been saying that for several years now. Sad that the fanboys can't make an informed decision for themselves and instead rely on the media and online talking heads to influence decision making. And for all the people with zero experience in a Camaro... the visibility issue is overblown and a non-issue provided you know how to adjust your side view mirrors. Which evidently is another activity that has become a lost art like driving a manual transmission.
Exactly last time the mustang was still funnier and now it a truck compared to a Porsche lmao. And visibility has never bothered me the slightest in my Camaro. Like you said ppl only know what they see not experience

@@DoWorkNPThats due to the track mainly. Take them to lets say a real track like Laguna Seca or Road Atlanta where you get to stretch their legs properly and it will flip majorly. Im a car guy in general. Like any car really. Hell I can have fun in a base yaris lol. Daily atm is a bolt on 19' GT 401a, magneride, active exhaust, PP1, 6 speed. Only downside is no Tremac but I can drive the shit out of a manual so I'm okay lol.
@@jameslopez5652 well of course the times will flip on a track with bigger straight aways considering it's got almost 300hp more. That's where the ZL1 comes in which still puts up better lap time's with still less power.
@@jameslopez5652 The fact that a ZL1 will pace the GT500 on a longer track and cost the same as a Dark Horse Mustang is incredible. I had a previous generation GT with the PP2 and the MT82, which is such a crappy transmission - I longed for a Tremec.

Omg you're gonna make me cry man.
literally same. My favourite car since I was a boy.
As an SS 1LE owner, this makes me happy... And sad that they are stopping production of it.

@@dnegel9546 so true i would've traded in my ss 1le if they did.
@@thetruthhurtsisee whats it like driving one if those on a daily? Like do you feel you have to much car for day to day use?
I ask cuz I’m thinking a SS would be to much car for me. So looking at a LT1 trim.
@@dnegel9546 its super easy to drive as my daily. my pervious daily was a wrx sti so when its rains in miami its nowhere near as confidence inspiring but in the dry its phenomenal and has more traction but it has traction control so that solves alot of problems in the rain. i immediately suggest the 1le or zl1 305 goodyear supercar3 tires and rims because the base ss and the lt1 tire size is way to small for the power. cool burnouts but horrible off the line traction. the ss and lt1 have the same motor and transmission but the lt1 has tiny brakes, basic suspension. you can save the money but please upgrade the brakes and tires as they're laughably tiny. i think for the first month i was like wow this is powerful now i drive it and im ehhhh i need more power. the car is super easy to drive with linear easy to control power. not a good car for a teenager but great for someone who has had fast sports in the past. i got a 1le which is basically a zl1 without the supercharger so everything on the car is overdeveloped for the minimal power it produces as its made for a 650 hp car and now making only 600 it still isn't up the limits of what the car can handle just be ok with smiles per gallon because the mpg is atrocious nut its a v8 so par for the course.
@@dnegel9546 Its like the perfect amount of power, especially on the highway when having to go around slow drivers in the left lane.

Thank you guys for making some awesome Camaro SS1LE comparison content. First the Z Vs the 1LE and now the S650 GT. It a great benchmark in which to test track capabilities on these “new” platforms
The ss 1le is ridiculously underrated
@mogulme6190 U got that right ,I only started looking into the 1LE's about a year ago and the more I researched them the more I had to have one,I actually ordered a 2023 2SS 1LE M6 that ended up not getting built,so I doubled down and ordered a 2024 2SS 1LE and my order was accepted sept 7 ,I cant wait till it comes home

@donaldkinder6716 Who won this race is all that matters. Accept it lol. For the price of the mustang, it's a good buy. Both are bang for the buck if you want an affordable fun car. Honestly I like both for the price, but I'm to old for these types of cars now. I've had several in my years. Much faster cars, so technically neither of these are just monsters but for the price point they're awesome. They can't handle a Ferrari 296, McLaren 765lt or Porsche 911 turbo but good cars for the price.
Appreciate the inclusion of the Camaro at least one more time. Here's to hoping that GM has a surprise up their sleeve for us!
Uh yeah. In form of a collector's edition. 100% an appearance package. RIP Camaro.

I am fortunate enough to own a 21 SS 1LE 6M. I have owned a few iconic Japanese, German, and British sports cars over the years, but this is my first American sports car. I decided on it because of reviews and videos like this. I love the driving experience. It's got incredible grip and makes you want to push it all the time. Problem is the limits are so high that you're always way over the speed limit. 2 tickets in the first 4 months and had to go to court to fight to keep my license. It's like the "bad influence" friend that keeps getting you in trouble but is so much fun to be with.
Thanks for the great videos! (and the recommendations....I think)
Good cars are those which gets you in trouble 😊 not just get you to point A to B
Yeah having a muscle car or any sports car in general takes a lot of throttle discipline aye dont look at it in a negative way !! Its a blessing u have ur license still nd u gotta beautiful car also its a blessing u didnt crash it or anything!!
You HAVE to take the 1LE to the track. It's a must. Had one for almost 3 years. It's such a capable car for the money.

When I think Corvette I think of the c6 design. I love the c8s. They’re truly a work of art. I personally think Chevy is missing an opportunity to offer the c8 engines in a 7th Gen Corvette but as a front engine RWD vehicle with the 10spd Auto and a MANUAL. That’s people’s biggest gripe about the c8, no manual.
Jealous bitter much
We definitely need more Cowboy Carston.

Yeah, they should have put the Corvette's LT-2 engine in the Camaro for it's send-off year. The 495HP might make a difference especially considering they increased the price.
I could never understand why gm does'nt revamp their v-8 with dohc technology.they can squeeze so much more hp and higher revving engines.
Dodge would’ve done that. Dodge also would’ve supercharged it and put it in a Camaro. And they would’ve put a supercharged LT2 in the Silverado ZR2. Unfortunately GM is succumbing to wokeness and abandoning what’s made them who they are. Makes 0 sense
@@keylago220because the dohc v8s are for their new Corvette lineup, if they sold their premium dohc in a Camaro no one would buy the Corvette especially if the Camaro still offered 6 speed manual
Good.point.
Both are amazing but the 1LE is a bit different class
Incredibly sad that they decided to kill off the Camaro. GM really did slap their fans with that announcement.
There's no way that will be the end....I would imagine they will bring It or some other car back in the distant future. It will take time after they figure out electric isn't the end all be all.

Great review as always. I think this really goes to show the chassis of the Camaro is beyond world class. The engineers outdid themselves. I'm sure the Dark Horse will be great but the 1LE is the one I would take home if I had an extra 60k. I'd do the manual, big cam, tune and exhaust. That's the dream.
Both cars are ugly though…

@@Kev27RS 67-68 Firebird wins for looks.
100% I would also take the camaro....heads, cam, intake would be amazing on it. The camaro I bet still runs within a second or so of the dark horse. Mark my words! I bet the dark horse is about a second quicker than the ssle, and for half the price. Why wouldn't you get a camaro??
If I'm spending 70-80k. I'm getting an actual fast car, a c7 z06 or c6 zr1, not a glorified mustang gt.
The new mustangs are hideous. Except the dark horse doesn't look as bad. I didn't like the grill on this camaro as much. I like the 2018 grill better. I think the camaro looks better overall.

Not to mention the ZL1 Wing I have on mine helps with that, but does affect your visibility when looking at your inside mirror. The front headlights just give off that Deathstare like it's ready to fight and that's before I put a front splitter on and canards. With those it's gonna look even more mean looking.
Yo the scene when James was talking about the end of the camaro and drifted around the corner and then Thomas broke into the frame drifting behind him in the mustang was absolutely peak automotive content and I ran it back 3 times 🔥🔥🔥

Yeah I thought he was too harsh 😅. And I’m not knocking the camero. The 1LE is an outstanding track car. But that mustang should be a little quicker than he was with it.

Hopefully the new ones aren’t really that bad?😬

For me, the previous gen Mustang Bullitt edition is the peak, both exterior and interior wise. Perfection.
It definitely is. The Mach 1 wasn't much of an improvement for the price, and the current gt makes the same as the bullit did, but with an extra throttle body. I personally felt like the Bullit handled like ut was on rails
GT350 ftw!😎
It’s such a shame that Camaro is going away. I wish more people knew exactly how fantastic the SS/1LE really is. Sure there are faster cars, but it is the absolute most bang for your buck currently available across the entire world. It is an incredibly capable track car out of the box. And no, we’re not talking about drag racing for those confused. We’re talking about road course lapping. Anyone can drive in a straight line. This thing out laps just about everything aside from supercars. This includes many Porches, Jaguars, Most Corvettes, and everything GT 350 and lower from Ford. The list goes on, and it’s at the very least $20k cheaper than the cheapest of them all. None of these stand a chance against an SS/1LE. It’s the best common man’s Camaro ever built! Truly an anomaly!
I'm just gonna throw this out there: we need Carston to chime in with his inputs on these races.

Would recommend to anyone considering to get it.
Would you say it out handled the C8? I had a 17’ 2SS last year and for as heavy as it was. The amount of confidence it had on the turns was absurd
I had a ‘16 SS then 17 and 19 SS 1LE. Moved on to 2022 GT4 but never quite had the fun I had in the SS1LE. Even with money aside. I’ll get one again.
I wouldn't say it was better than the C8 but was damn close to it but the 16 2SS I had was definitely not as sharp around the corner. The sound is definitely better than the C8 thought surprisingly 😂
Got to get the Dark Horse with that 6 speed Tremec 🔥
This demonstrates the problem with the Camaro and why it's outsold by the Mustang every year. The Camaro is the better track car. The Mustang is the better street car.
It's been fun watching the Mustang/Camaro lineage evolve over the past 25 years. The only thing that's baffling is paying 20-45% premium every model year refresh for a laughable 10% performance increase.

@@RobQuincysFather2012 trunk is very small. Especially compared to when I had a challenger. I daily my Camaro and I promise you it isn't nearly as big of an issue as you think. The 2SS makes it even better with the camera rear mirror and blind spot momitors

I don't think poor visibility was the main issue; the main issue is the interior is cramped. I went to check one out in 2016 after it won the COTY awards.

I want the dark horse performance pack versus The Mach One handling pack versus the Camaro super sport 1le. That is the video everybody's been waiting for. It would be awesome to compare the track times between all of this top trips in one sitting.
Camaro ZL1 not SS 1le, because Dark Horse cost as much as a ZL1 and even more with dealer mark ups.
This would also be a proper way to send both the Mach 1 and the 1LE off into the the sunset.
Yeah still waiting on the Mach 1 and the GT500 CFTP to make an appearance. I have a feeling Thomas might actually like a Mustang then.
@al151 While I agree with the premise, we all know the zl1 would smash the darkhorse. I've yet to see a really good SS 1LE vs Mach 1 video. Randy Pobst did one but was kinda mismatched.
Watching Carston attempt to abscond with the goats was pure comedy gold, but James leveling up his drifting skills is the real MVP moment here! 💪🔥 I can't decide what's more impressive, the progression of driving finesse over the years or the unadulterated humor that seeps through every video.

I’m sad to see the Camaro go, but good news is that there always gonna be available. Just cause there won’t be anything new doesn’t mean you can pick one up! Go Chevy
I know that modifying/modified cars isn’t really your wheelhouse, but it would be really interesting to see a sort of comparison between the new Mustangs and the previous-generation model with, like, a good suspension upgrade/etc. Given how much Ford kept from the old car it would seem like a buyer could get a tremendous amount of value today by buying something used and making some smart purchases in the Mustang’s enormous aftermarket.
Question... did you ever ask yourself why the mustnag aftermarket is so large? This is from a former mustnag owner that in the past has dumped thousands and thousands of dollars into mustnags. I know the answer to the question above and wonder if you and your peers know.
@@FL50ssp I own a Fiesta ST, so I'm assuming it's because they're Built Ford Rough, to quote James?
@@cartilagehead Alternatively, it's because the focus on the Mustangs isn't really racing performance so you goto the aftermarket to plug that hole. I say that as a S550 Mach 1 owner. I wouldn't be against letting TH track my car, I'm probably 300 miles from them so it's a doable drive. But my car is the auto without the HP.
@@VagrantZero84 I think a lot of the focus on tracking cars is really misplaced, unless you happen to have $10-20k to burn on top of whatever mods/upgrades and the actual time to do it regularly. I want the best on-road dynamics and enjoyment, maybe with a semi-annual trip to the track, and for me that means trying to find the best balance between handling and comfort. People just seem to really hate on the recent Mustangs all of the time "oh it's mostly great, but the suspension is really floppy compared to the Camaro" "oh it's mostly great but the manual on the GT isn't as strong or as nice as you can get in the pricier 'track focused' models" "oh it's mostly great but they made the gearing ratio all wrong" etc.
@cartilagehead6326 Stock they sucks it took a full revamp of my suspension on mine to make it feel good. Sadly there was no fix for the lack of steering feel so I sold it.
Costs are outrageous. The 1LE package on my 2015 Camaro SS was only $3,500! It’s also a 2SS with every option but Recaro seats. It was still only $45k!
Don’t even get me started on my King Ranch F-150 and how much they’ve gone up since 2015…
Yessir... few more updated mods to your 2015 you keep up with 6th gens in the corners
well in honesty back in 2017-2021 ish the 1LE 1ss was only about 44K with recaros which it absolutely needs
@@7000U9ZHIFT truthfully, given that this car will consistently pull 1.1-1.2 G on back roads without breaking a sweat, power was more of a concern. Cam and headers and it made an extra 80 WHP. The only thing I did for handling was add the Z/28 spoiler with duckbill. I also run PS4S tires, which are definitely better than the factory Goodyears.
The thing is though, if you try to add everything on the 1le package to an ss, the cost comes out around 13-14 grand without installation fees
@@blaqjac21 I didn’t want the Recaro seats in my car bc I’m a wide dude and I do a lot of cruising and road trips. My brother’s 6G has Recaro seats and they’re a bit tight for me.
And yeah, you’re right, bc I was considering a 1LE in 2018/2019 before prices jumped from covid BS.
These guys are the the perfect balance between stupid and smart. They are smart enough that I trust what they are saying, but stupid enough to keep me entertained the entire time. By far the best car review channel!
The Camaro for having an LT1 that hasn’t been touched since the year it came out in 2014 is still incredible. You can’t beat that car around a track unless you have something much more expensive. Great car.
@junitoss83,
Well said.
That’s 100% facts!
I’m still amazed at how well it drives.
There’s magic in that suspension..👍
What a joke. Putting the 1LE against a regular GT and complaining about how dull the GT is around the track. Test should have been against the SS only. Apples and oranges guys. Purpose built track car vs regular car.
@shaneknight13 that's the premium gt, the black wing is like z28 level
@shaneknight13 Price is comparable. The Dark Horse is way more expensive. The 1LE directly competes with the Performance Pack GT
This is why I’ve never had a Mustang .. to get the same track performance as SS1LE I would’ve had to go to a GT350. Great car but performance/dollar never made sense. Bespoke motor or not, performance capabilities matter for a track car. Mustang interiors also always looked like 10 years in the past
That's the truck that should have been the new Lightning.
Thomas Holland > Tom Holland
I was shocked to hear that people think the Mustang looks bad. Seeing it in the evening sun and speeding around the track I thought it was the best looking generation of mustang (Arguable though because I really like the 2005-ish era).
It’s not bad looking but I had a chance to look at the S650 and S550 sitting next to each other at an auto show and the S650 looks bulkier, bigger, and has lost a lot of sleekness. And that rear quarter screams Camaro.
We just bought a ‘24 gt. Test drove the ss and it is small, cramped and outdated. It’s not even in the same ballpark. As the ‘24. Our son convinced her to try the gt as she was hell bent on the Camaro.
These guys made the paid ad an interesting segment! ...We really are witnessing greatness in real time.
Just bought a 23’ SS 1LE sharkskin metallic & guys I can not say how happy I am with it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it was going 15 vette but I’m glad I picked this!
Thank you guys it was great to see the new Mustang on the track. I will have few propositions for your leaderboard.
If you add model year of the cars to the board we can better understand what car is listed.
Secondly, lap times would be fairer if you both drive the same car and pick the best time out of those laps.
Thomas is a professional driver, hence why he drives the throttle house race spec bmw 330. That's why he always does the hot laps.
they already do that, they just skip james lol
On the board, they note the generation of the car. For example for camar as 1le, it says 6TH GEN on the right of it
The Camaro is leaving the game out on top
Not in sales. The mustang killed off the Camaro again.

@@BrandonGoodwin-qz2kh Sales don't matter on the track.
@@BrandonGoodwin-qz2khmustangs suck get over it
@@BrandonGoodwin-qz2kh And a bugatti sells less than a lamborghini does that make it an inferior car? Keep coping.
Thanks guys, I thoroughly enjoyed that!
Great video as always; witty, entertaining, informative, FUN!!
The race that I've been wanting to see for years!
i had a mustang gt and a challenger scat pack. i was very surprised how good the new camaro ss drives. i still like my challenger the most but to be honest, the new camaro ss drives amazing 🎉
I’ve seen several videos now where the Camaro was the quicker car. This the is the first video I’ve seen the Mustang be faster
To think I was going to enjoy the beginning sketch for my lunch break…
If only you knew
How can you boys get better with every video!!!???
I have been wanting to see a drag race between the Mustang and the Camaro since they first came on the scene. The cowboy kicking the goats at the end of the first race was hilarious. Thank you.
Nice and awesome
I’d love to have these guys use my 18 1LE with a naturally aspirated 416 stroker motor making 600whp with some fresh cup 2 tires, Dot5 brake fluid, and a track alignment go up against a Dark horse. In a way it was my shot at making the 6th gen Z28 that never came to fruition. Throttle house hit me up!
S550 owner here, I think the S650 looks good, but I'm glad I have my 19 PP1 with the analog dash
They should tune the previous gen mustang with aftermarrket suspension/pp2 tyres/+hp and i bet it will keep up with the camaro on track
The camaro almost beats the mustang at it's thing, the mustang can't touch the camaro at its thing
??
Don't worry about ol' double question mark up there 👆😂😂😂 I knew what you meant and you're 100% right. S550/650 just doesn't have the weight balance to keep up. Back end is noticeably way too light so it just digs the front end through corners. Just like with any car though, you can make them track monsters if you know what to do with em
FP700: when Ford realizes it's Lightning image was ruined so they made a "Lightning" package thats not a Lightning, but is.
So happy to see this is #14 on trending you guys deserve all of it❤
“Have you guys seen what BMW is doing lately?”
those shots at BMW killed me !!!!!!
A always S tier content!!!!
Can we just take a moment and please appreciate how absolutely hysterical these guys are. I mean for Christ's sakes they were out there filming goats taking a shit and taking a piss for an add. I mean who does this? But it is absolutely brilliant and hysterical. I absolutely love throttle house. You guys are awesome
This car looks cool to ride.
Taking the lords name in vain is commandment number one.
i'll still choose my 1LE over the mustang any day!
The outgoing Mach1 with handling package is great on the track! I’ll just keep my 22 Mach1
I almost got one but I ended up not being able to sell one of my other cars in time, and someone else bought the Mach 1 I was looking at. Biggest regret in life besides a previous failed relationship
Mach 1 on those cup 2s is very impressive. I was ripping up GT4s in my last session in one, bone stock except X-pipe. Some lowering springs, sway bars, more aggressive camber should really make it a missile.
I love the FP700 esp. that it's a single cab
the coolest and funniest sponsorship presentation ever !!! nailed it - you guys are the GOATS
Ok let's make sure I have this correct. Up until this video the Camaro SS 1LE was just an ok car. And not as fun to drive as mustang. Now that the talking heads have come to their senses and moved past their frod biases the Camaro SS 1LE is "the" performance and track car to have in the segment? Camaro owners have been saying that for several years now. Sad that the fanboys can't make an informed decision for themselves and instead rely on the media and online talking heads to influence decision making. And for all the people with zero experience in a Camaro... the visibility issue is overblown and a non-issue provided you know how to adjust your side view mirrors. Which evidently is another activity that has become a lost art like driving a manual transmission.
Exactly last time the mustang was still funnier and now it a truck compared to a Porsche lmao. And visibility has never bothered me the slightest in my Camaro. Like you said ppl only know what they see not experience
BEST INTROS ON WHOLE FRIGGIN RUclips!!! 🔥❤
Love you guys!!
Camaro and Mustang.....won't be the same anymore without seeing these two legends at each other's throats all the time
The Messi and Ronaldo collab was so unexpected 😮
