Chevy has one of the best color pallets out of the competition. It’s hard to choose which color is my favorite. Rapid blue is definitely catching my attention looks really good on this one
Had a 2018 Corvette stingray. Sold it and purchased the 2022 Camaro 2SS. This is the best car I’ve owned. Great ride with performance. You really can’t go wrong with this car.
@@mariofernandez6930 Go test drive a basic 1SS. Corvette is nice but its a fast luxury car. Not really a sports car. The camaro is a sports car. A race car
@@RaitisRides and absolutely the way you had that fun the Camaro is absolutely a better muscle car over the Challenger Scat Pack in terms of styling for speed the Challenger is a faster car than the Camaro but after all the Camaro is a better car than the Challenger in my opinion those that are looking for a faster and fun car and loves the Hemi get the Challenger if you wanted the car that Joe Raiti enjoyed get the Camaro SS and the Camaro is better than the Challenger and the Mustang is also better than the Challenger
After watching this video I started looking for this specific car, except a 1SS. One finally showed up in the Chevy inventory search 3 weeks ago, and like a signal from God it was at a dealer only an hour from me. I traded in my 2021 Camaro LT1 and the dealer gave me more than I originally paid for it, as well as honoring the family discount I have through my grandfather. I ended up paying $8k out the door for the upgrade which I think is a steal for the dream car. The rapid blue looks incredible in person and the car has gotten many compliments already and I've only had it a week.
@@jakeryan5509 Great! All it's needed so far is an oil change. Still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it, and still getting compliments haha.
@@EuroUSA I traded a 2021 Camaro LT1 (that I paid 36k for new) and $8k for a new 2022 Camaro SS 1LE. I have a family discount for GM vehicles because my grandfather is a pensioned GM retiree. I think it saved me $1.5k, can't remember exactly.
You think Joe was having fun??? That was the most on throttle I've seen in an episode.... That speaks volumes... Joe you do have a job of a lifetime!!!😀
The new Camaros are so ugly I don't know how anybody could even look at one. The Camaro died in 2002 1993 to 1997 was the ultimate Camaro. They're so ugly I actually drove one for the first time it was like driving a Caprice with 400 horsepower it was awful. I used to be a Camaro enthusiast I had to sell myself to forward and buy a Ford Mustang because of this BS I'm glad they're going to stop making the Camaros they are so ugly nobody is going to buy them. I sold my soul to a Ford Mustang because I cannot take the new Camaros. Now I have to live in this price driving a Ford Mustang because Chevrolet had to come out with this new body style in 2010 only if I could find a 93 to 97 Z28 Camaro I can get myself back get my Integrity in dignity back the new Camaro sucks..
I had a 2016 Challenger 392 and this completely embarrasses it in many ways. The Challenger is a boat and feels massive. Although the Challenger has great low end torque, it gets old smoking the tires when you're trying to hook up. Also I don't know why people complain so much about the visibility in the Camaro. I have a 2021 1SS 1LE and I have no problems with blind spots. Anyways, great video as always!
I have a 2SS and there is a secondary backup camera. You have the option on the rearview mirror to view this backup camera at any time, which can zoom in and out. The view is ridiculous. No blind spots at all.
The ones complaining can't drive, lol. I didn't have any trouble seeing out of mine either, lol. We bought a 2010 2ss RS back in the day. I can't even imagine what this car must be like.

It's a shame how the Camaro lately gets little love from muscle car enthusiasts...it's a great looking,and sounding car! And it always has been,actually!
100% agree! Kinda reminds me of the gripes about the GTO during the early 2000s that supposedly didn’t look like a GTO? One day I took my three favorite years and put them next to each other: 1964, 1970, and 2006. They styling was true to form, they all had 4 headlights, two hood scoops, two tailpipes on each side...whatdafuck do you mean it doesn’t look like a GTO? Can’t please everyone.
You make these videos so fun to watch! Your sheer, genuine enthusiasm and great laugh and smile make it such a joy to watch you drive these great muscle cars...you're a real pro and so much better than anything on "regular TV". Thank you for taking us on such fun rides!
As an owner of a 2022 Vivid Orange SS ILE, and a previous owner of a 2016 2.0L 6MT I can say without a doubt, if you are thinking about getting this car, just get it! It is as good or better than my sky high expectations! Get it twice like this guy, it is that good!
Amen friend. I've driven the Mopars and Mustangs and wasn't too thrilled... I took a chance on driving an SS a few months ago and haven't had so much fun in a car in years. I cannot wait to pick one up (might just do the LT1 though)....
Certainly one of the most stunning colours available today in the motoring world. If looks would kill…..the Camaro is a standout. Great review, watching from New Zealand and just wish it was in right hand drive.
@@EliB207 Scat is 5,000lbs & has nowhere near the technology in the suspension components. So OBJECTIVELY, i am right. And you have no receipts to say anything objectively to oppose what i said. bye ✌️

I just took delivery of a 2SS 1lE two weeks ago, I ordered it in September. I've had a lot of fast cars but this car may be my favorite, even over the Scat Pack. It has the best sounding stock exhaust I've ever heard, the cracks and pops are ridiculous. FYI the 1LE option was $7000, well worth it IMO. Thanks for the video!
@@themarathoncontinues2289 just like you can get a used ZL1 for the same price as the used hellcat and have it mop the floor with it in every category?
Wow, September!! I ordered my 1LE in late Oct 21, per Chevy, it’s built and in “Awaiting Dispatch” status, which I think is a Ghost term for “sitting waiting on Chips”. Hopefully maybe by mid to late June I’ll have it?? Who knows, Chevy don’t tell you shit!!
This is the perfect video for me. I had a 2020 challenger 392 and traded down to a 2017 Sti, I love the subie but I miss that beefy v8 roar. Wanted to get another 392 but a manual 2SS 1LE is looking pretty delicious now
I actually ended up getting a 1LE 1SS. It sounds crazy, but the handling from what I can tell is way better than the Sti. Still need more testing but good lord these things really are track weapons. Between my 2017 5.0 premium performance pack, 2020 scat pack challenger and 2017 Sti Limited, the 1LE is my favorite by far.
Gotta say that exhaust sounds amazing for stock. My challenger stock sounds great but had to do a mid muffler delete and add in Vibrants to be even better. I wouldn’t even touch this it sounds that good. I was looking at a 2ss 1le before I bought my widebody challenger TA. But these 22s rims look aftermarket good.
@@RaitisRides thanks for replying! It honestly came down to the looks, I wanted that muscle car look the widebody challenger had in spades. The Camaro has some better features here and there if you option that way but maybe if I ever trade mine it I might grab a 2ss 1le with all the goodies, when I priced it out back in sept a fully loaded one from the factory was actually 4K cheaper then my challenger as I optioned it out. If the Camaro had more of that old school muscle look I’d be driving it right now lol. But as a modern sport car it looks phenomenal
I already have enough fun with my 2020 1LT Camaro with the 6 speed manual, but I do hope to make another upgrade at some point and get myself an SS 1LE
I’m jealous! Just curious, how much does a replacement set of tires cost and approximately how many miles do you get per set (assuming normal driving and no track use)
I’ve owned Mustangs the bulk of my 52 yrs on this planet…multiple Fox GTs, Mach 1, GT500 SVTPP, and a few verts. In 2018 I decided to be open minded and found a 2SS 1LE with all the options to include the awesome video data recorder. That car by far was my favorite muscle car, brand loyalty be darned! Go try a 1LE, handling is like rails, engine note…MUSIC! Great review, it is the real deal…unfortunately my family didn’t fit in it well so it went down the road to the tune of a truck and new boat. Lol
Absolutely love my 2021 2SS 1LE. I traded out of my 21 scat pack widebody for this. I did love my challenger scat a lot though! super cool car but the 1le is THE best overall sports car out of this segment, hands down. I raced a BMW M6 sedan the other day and he could not gain on me. I laughed because my car was 52k and his is probably 150k. AMERICAN MUSCLE BABY
will be in the market for one of these in the next couple months! planning on throwing an intake, headers, cams on it with a e85 tune and exhaust. take it over 600hp and just leave it like that. All motor, sounding meaner than it already does. absolutely in love with this car
Well I can tell you what I did. I researched all three cars mentioned and made a decision. Put an order in October 2022. My car arrived and I picked it up June 24th 2023. I ordered the 2SS 1LE in rapid blue. Absolutely amazing car and so glad I did. Also got the 6 speed manual had not driven manual in 10 years so easy to drive no stalls at all with it. Glad I went Camaro 2SS1LE, Manual, and Rapid Blue for me it checks every box. Great video they are fun to drive. Only have 67 miles on it so have a little bit to go for the break in.
Great reviews as usual. Really like that color combo. Just got my 2022 zl1 1le cherry tint coat. I’m just like joe! People need to go look at these cars in person. Pics, videos just do them justice.
You can tell someone has driven really fast cars when he punches an SS and doesn’t even smile 😂 awesome car I once had a zl1 back in 2014 I miss it everyday…. One day one day Edit: I see myself getting rapid tickets with that rapid blue color.
That 5th gen (2010-2015) is the BEST modern muscle body & drivetrain power performance since the first gen (1966-1969) I hope that you get yourself another 5th gen model one day very soon ‼️💯
The Camaro is my favorite, it's the sweet spot for best handling, a good torquey pushrod V8, a terrifice Tremec T6060 transmission and it looks great. Best package for sure and the 1LE is a bargain for what you get. A widebody Scat Pack with a few options runs nearly $60K, might as well just go for a ZL1 at that price point. I've seriously considered trading my '17 SS M6 for a '22/'22 SS 1LE.
Same boat as this guy but 2015 ss. But, after the announcement of the new mustang. I’m digging it. The 1LE is a steal though.. if only chevy wouldn’t discontinue the camaros
I’m personally not a fan of the front end of these newer Camaros but everything else about it is phenomenal. Nearly impossible to find something as good for the money, especially the 1le
Joe, I think a 1LE Camaro is the best bang for your buck in the performance category. I feel like I'm blessed to have a 2021 2SS 1LE Camaro, Riverside Blue, 6-Speed Tremec. I remember the first video with "G" and he did GREAT with this Rapid Blue one. My car has the same exact equipment as G's Camaro, just a different shade of blue! They're so hard to find in general, I'm going to hang on to mine... it is special! That was a blast to watch Joe, you had one heck of a time driving it! The best 1LE Camaro video on RUclips... right here.
The hood looks GREAT......it boils down to "are you a GM, FORD or MOPAR fan"....I would love any of these 3 cars but it would be Camaro for me if choosing.....thanks Joe and Lori.
I always hear the terrible visibility of this car. It does have a high belt line and sits very low. The high belt line will protect you from getting t-boned by a huge SUV. I have a 2SS and there is a secondary backup camera. You have the option on the rearview mirror to view this backup camera at any time, which can zoom in and out. The view is ridiculous. No blind spots at all.
Man I am in love with this car but sadly I ain’t getting it anytime soon. I’m just hurting my self watching this. Im just 18, grind barely starting. I’m happy asf rn tho. Getting a v6 ( Ik 😢 ) 2010 camaro for 6k. Way better than no camaro tho.
just traded my c7 corvette 7m for a 22 2SS 6m camaro, and love it, ive owned challenger RTs they are nice and my second favorite of the 3 muscle car out there but camaro performs sowell
I’m a Mopar fan so it’s ScatPack for me for the interior space, visibility, trunk space, looks, and engine. Thanks for the review Joe and Lori’s awesome work! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
@@hecticphusion scats have more horsepower to make up for the weight difference and keep up with the muscle cars in their class (mustang gt and camaro ss). Gas? What are you even talking about scat packs are rated like 1mpg less than the mustang gt and camaro ss
@@QuinLIVE scat packs are significantly slower than the other cars even with the extra horsepower and cost significantly more with comparable options. Also, the 6.4 drinks gas while my 6.2 camaro sips it. I get 30mpg on the highway - good luck with that in the 6.4. The only advantage that Dodge has is that it offers a 4 door still. Chevy was dumb to stop producing the Commodore/SS.
@@hecticphusion “significantly slower” no they aren’t they are literally in line with the GT and SS that’s the entire reason dodge put extra horsepower into them to make up for the weight difference. Official Dealer rated gas mileage for scats is 15 city and 24 HW. Camaro SS: 16 city and 24 HW. That a 1-2 mpg difference straight from dealer estimates yet your acting like we’re comparing the 6.4 to a Prius lmao
I looked at the Mach1 and it cost several thousand more than a Camaro with the 1LE option, the Camaro is the better choice IMO and I'm biased anyway🤣 I'm on my third Camaro and probably the last one I'll ever own ☹ and I went with the 1SS I don't care about all those extras on the 2SS!
Waiting for the 23 camaro to be announced I would order a 22 but by the time I get one 2022 will be done. I hope they keep rapid blue I want a 1ss over 2ss because it’s not gonna be a daily
The Camaros are getting more power as well. 460hp to 480h on the SS, the ZL1s are getting more power and the ZL1 1LE is getting way more power. It’s going to be in the vicinity of 760 plus if I’m not mistaken.
Awesome car and review! Definitely would go Camaro over ford and dodge! Matter of fact I’m waiting for GM to open up ordering for the 23’ Camaro so I can get one👍🏻 Supposed to open up ordering this month I was told.
Once you drive a Camaro, you will never even waste your time thinking about the Mustang and Challenger. Not only is the Camaro the best value, it also has the torquiest motor, best automatic and manual transmissions and handles like a dream. There's a reason why the ZL1 near the top of the list for Nurburgring track records yet Ford and Dodge have no entries to be seen.
The contrast between the Rapid Blue and the black hood gives me a headache just looking at it in this video. A friend of mine had a SS 1LE and it was spectacular when you drove it like the performance car it is. When driving it within the limits of the law, I became claustrophibic. I wish he still had it because it was fun to drive.
18’ SS 1LE was my first car in High School, and I loved it. Sold it last year bc I was getting more money than I paid and plus it wasn’t practical for a college student 😂
🤣 hope you getting a new one and not a 5 gen, that'll be another step back lol anyone could've told u the the charger scat are slow, v6 Camaros mess with those lol
@@cormaro13 I had a boosted scat beating stock redeye. I'm getting a chevy ss and either lsa supercharge or procharge it. Had a max effort NA gen 5 that was rowdy, but I'm invested into sedans at the moment since I have to small kids.
Everyone has their own opinions! I test drove the 2021 Camaro, a 2019 Ford Mustang GT and a 2016 Challenger Scat Pack. All were manual trans. And with 6-7k miles. The Challenger by far is the most muscle car of them all. I actually thought the 5th Generation Camaro looked better. I think if you’re a Chevy guy you will pick a Camaro but I went in with an open mind. For my money I bought the challenger.
Chevy has one of the best color pallets out of the competition. It’s hard to choose which color is my favorite. Rapid blue is definitely catching my attention looks really good on this one
I could not agree more with you!
Looks great with the contrasting black pieces!
Completely disagree Mopar is the one who has the best color palet and all completely diffrent from the rest Ford a lnd Chevy have similar colors
@@tonyllamas5555 that’s why I said it’s one of the best colors. I’ll definitely rank mopar colors above Chevy. Mopar is the reigning king of colors
@@RaitisRides do you know if they are selling as msrp again ?

Which one did you like better? I got the STI now but my next car will be muscle
I actually ended up getting a 1LE 1SS. It sounds crazy, but the handling from what I can tell is way better than the Sti. Still need more testing but good lord these things really are track weapons.
Between my 2017 5.0 premium performance pack, 2020 scat pack challenger and 2017 Sti Limited, the 1LE is my favorite by far.
Gotta say that exhaust sounds amazing for stock. My challenger stock sounds great but had to do a mid muffler delete and add in Vibrants to be even better. I wouldn’t even touch this it sounds that good. I was looking at a 2ss 1le before I bought my widebody challenger TA. But these 22s rims look aftermarket good.
I totally know how you feel!
Edit 20s I pressed 2 by accident
@@RaitisRides thanks for replying! It honestly came down to the looks, I wanted that muscle car look the widebody challenger had in spades. The Camaro has some better features here and there if you option that way but maybe if I ever trade mine it I might grab a 2ss 1le with all the goodies, when I priced it out back in sept a fully loaded one from the factory was actually 4K cheaper then my challenger as I optioned it out. If the Camaro had more of that old school muscle look I’d be driving it right now lol. But as a modern sport car it looks phenomenal
I just placed an order for a 1ss 1le in this same color on Friday, saying I’m excited is an understatement!
Owned my 1LE for 3 years now and wouldn't think about trading it except for a blackwing.
If only i had 98k for the CT5 black wing omg
@@Bigburb1345 yeah man foreal
Joe an Lori coming in clutch with an amazing upload on a beautiful muscle car.
Play this Camaro has a clutch! LOL
@@RaitisRides That makes it even better:)
I already have enough fun with my 2020 1LT Camaro with the 6 speed manual, but I do hope to make another upgrade at some point and get myself an SS 1LE
The LT is a fantastic car. But the SS 1LE is a different animal.
I’m jealous! Just curious, how much does a replacement set of tires cost and approximately how many miles do you get per set (assuming normal driving and no track use)
@@mikeclay6089 stock Goodyears is 7k-9k miles. After that go for some PS4s.
Tires and install close to 2k
I’ve owned Mustangs the bulk of my 52 yrs on this planet…multiple Fox GTs, Mach 1, GT500 SVTPP, and a few verts. In 2018 I decided to be open minded and found a 2SS 1LE with all the options to include the awesome video data recorder. That car by far was my favorite muscle car, brand loyalty be darned! Go try a 1LE, handling is like rails, engine note…MUSIC! Great review, it is the real deal…unfortunately my family didn’t fit in it well so it went down the road to the tune of a truck and new boat. Lol
Absolutely love my 2021 2SS 1LE. I traded out of my 21 scat pack widebody for this. I did love my challenger scat a lot though! super cool car but the 1le is THE best overall sports car out of this segment, hands down. I raced a BMW M6 sedan the other day and he could not gain on me. I laughed because my car was 52k and his is probably 150k. AMERICAN MUSCLE BABY
Im a Mopar guy to the fullest but I am definitely impressed by the Camaro.. Very fine piece of machinery.
Still take a Challenger any day
Joe, you do a great job making these videos and never leave anything out. Camaro all the way. Thank-you!
will be in the market for one of these in the next couple months! planning on throwing an intake, headers, cams on it with a e85 tune and exhaust. take it over 600hp and just leave it like that. All motor, sounding meaner than it already does. absolutely in love with this car
That is my dream car, no competition.
Me too bro!!! 💯🔥🔥
Well I can tell you what I did. I researched all three cars mentioned and made a decision. Put an order in October 2022. My car arrived and I picked it up June 24th 2023. I ordered the 2SS 1LE in rapid blue. Absolutely amazing car and so glad I did. Also got the 6 speed manual had not driven manual in 10 years so easy to drive no stalls at all with it. Glad I went Camaro 2SS1LE, Manual, and Rapid Blue for me it checks every box. Great video they are fun to drive. Only have 67 miles on it so have a little bit to go for the break in.
Great reviews as usual. Really like that color combo. Just got my 2022 zl1 1le cherry tint coat. I’m just like joe! People need to go look at these cars in person. Pics, videos just do them justice.
Congrats Ivan! You did it the right way for sure brother!
You can tell someone has driven really fast cars when he punches an SS and doesn’t even smile 😂 awesome car I once had a zl1 back in 2014 I miss it everyday…. One day one day
Edit: I see myself getting rapid tickets with that rapid blue color.
That 5th gen (2010-2015) is the BEST modern muscle body & drivetrain power performance since the first gen (1966-1969)
I hope that you get yourself another 5th gen model one day very soon ‼️💯
Camaro with that color is going to be very hard to find. Dealerships will definitely markup the price of this bad boy. Great video as always
Thanks Pete! You are so very right!
The Camaro is my favorite, it's the sweet spot for best handling, a good torquey pushrod V8, a terrifice Tremec T6060 transmission and it looks great. Best package for sure and the 1LE is a bargain for what you get. A widebody Scat Pack with a few options runs nearly $60K, might as well just go for a ZL1 at that price point. I've seriously considered trading my '17 SS M6 for a '22/'22 SS 1LE.
I think you should pull the trigger Jay
Same boat as this guy but 2015 ss. But, after the announcement of the new mustang. I’m digging it. The 1LE is a steal though.. if only chevy wouldn’t discontinue the camaros
I’m personally not a fan of the front end of these newer Camaros but everything else about it is phenomenal. Nearly impossible to find something as good for the money, especially the 1le
💯
Joe, I think a 1LE Camaro is the best bang for your buck in the performance category. I feel like I'm blessed to have a 2021 2SS 1LE Camaro, Riverside Blue, 6-Speed Tremec. I remember the first video with "G" and he did GREAT with this Rapid Blue one. My car has the same exact equipment as G's Camaro, just a different shade of blue! They're so hard to find in general, I'm going to hang on to mine... it is special! That was a blast to watch Joe, you had one heck of a time driving it! The best 1LE Camaro video on RUclips... right here.
I got mine 2018 for 36k
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Best car ever ave!!
The hood looks GREAT......it boils down to "are you a GM, FORD or MOPAR fan"....I would love any of these 3 cars but it would be Camaro for me if choosing.....thanks Joe and Lori.
That color is probably the most beautiful color you can get on any sport car period!! I have a challenger hellcat and I wish it was this color
I am so glad that you are digging Rapid Blue Rio!
The red seat belts are 10 extra horsepower 🙂
You know it!
Love that color Joe! Looks great! V8 power and a six speed. Wonderful!
I always hear the terrible visibility of this car. It does have a high belt line and sits very low. The high belt line will protect you from getting t-boned by a huge SUV. I have a 2SS and there is a secondary backup camera. You have the option on the rearview mirror to view this backup camera at any time, which can zoom in and out. The view is ridiculous. No blind spots at all.
Definitely makes me want to stop and buy one! Amazing job boss. The confidence and knowledge is undeniable.
Man I am in love with this car but sadly I ain’t getting it anytime soon. I’m just hurting my self watching this. Im just 18, grind barely starting. I’m happy asf rn tho. Getting a v6 ( Ik 😢 ) 2010 camaro for 6k. Way better than no camaro tho.
Great review Joe. This color and Shock are such good colors for this car. Especially a 1LE model.
just traded my c7 corvette 7m for a 22 2SS 6m camaro, and love it, ive owned challenger RTs they are nice and my second favorite of the 3 muscle car out there but camaro performs sowell
Wow! This Camaro looks pretty good and OMG, that color! It literally pops in the sun!
You better believe it Brian!
Wow! What sound! The exhaust sounds really good 😍
I know right!
hoping to walk out with one tmrrr I just love watching these Camaro videos
I'm kinda prejudiced but I prefer the Camaro to the other two. Still loving my 2017 2SS convertible.
I’m a Mopar fan so it’s ScatPack for me for the interior space, visibility, trunk space, looks, and engine. Thanks for the review Joe and Lori’s awesome work! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
What about the engine is nice? It's way slower than the Mustang and Camaro and gets worse fuel mileage.
@@hecticphusion I never said the word nice but since you’re curious, it’s 6.4 L of Hemi greatness with 485 HP. Isn’t that “nice?”
@@hecticphusion scats have more horsepower to make up for the weight difference and keep up with the muscle cars in their class (mustang gt and camaro ss). Gas? What are you even talking about scat packs are rated like 1mpg less than the mustang gt and camaro ss
@@QuinLIVE scat packs are significantly slower than the other cars even with the extra horsepower and cost significantly more with comparable options. Also, the 6.4 drinks gas while my 6.2 camaro sips it. I get 30mpg on the highway - good luck with that in the 6.4. The only advantage that Dodge has is that it offers a 4 door still. Chevy was dumb to stop producing the Commodore/SS.
@@hecticphusion “significantly slower” no they aren’t they are literally in line with the GT and SS that’s the entire reason dodge put extra horsepower into them to make up for the weight difference. Official Dealer rated gas mileage for scats is 15 city and 24 HW. Camaro SS: 16 city and 24 HW. That a 1-2 mpg difference straight from dealer estimates yet your acting like we’re comparing the 6.4 to a Prius lmao
Nice Camaro Review, Joe! I would use the back seats for luggage bags, use the back trunk for groceries.
Now we are talking Adrian!
@@RaitisRides oh yeah
Love the Camaro. Hopefully ordering mine this week.
As a Camaro guy, I love everything about it, only thing missing is a sun roof though. Nice review buddy and looking forward to the 750K party!
You can get a sunroof for the camaro on the 2ss trim, it comes as an additional option, my buddy has one
@@fernandor5395 i knew that bud, I was just commenting about this particular one. But thanks though
Unfortunately the 1LE does not come with a sunroof. You can’t have that on the 1LE. Not sure why GM has it set that way.
@@captfrostii3675 agreed. I’d love to have one on my ZLE.
@@leea4624 That would set it off even more with a sunroof. Just those funky little quirks GM has
that color combination looks amazing
Just ordered a zl1 1le in rapid blue with a 6 speed. Cant wait till i get it if i ever get it🤞
your camera person is great. So smooth in everything
Lori is the best in the biz!
I’ve always loved Camaros can’t wait to get one once I get the money
You will do it man!
@@RaitisRides thanks man! 🙏
@@Cobra-9424 Of course brother!
Finally!! Black Logo of Chevrolet!! The gold one makes it look like Old!!!!! Please it's 2022!!! Nice review Raiti's does it again!!
I've owned an alpha chassis and loved it. The others don't compare
Love how you cut those people off when taking your exit at 19:10 you were just all chill🤣🤣
Smooth move!
My favorite ride and color, I definitely need to work some more flights to save up for this one!
It would be well worth the while!
Camaros are just absolute beauty”s.
Awesome review Joe and Lori as always! And just like always everyone,we’ll see each other on the next ride! #LongLiveTheManuals!!!
On throttle!!
We are so glad that we could bring it to you!
I go with the Camaro SS stick...its why I bought one 5 years ago.😂👍Been my DD ever since for 53k miles.
I looked at the Mach1 and it cost several thousand more than a Camaro with the 1LE option, the Camaro is the better choice IMO and I'm biased anyway🤣 I'm on my third Camaro and probably the last one I'll ever own ☹ and I went with the 1SS I don't care about all those extras on the 2SS!
I bought a 2023 2SS 1LE yesterday down I Tampa. Loving it so far.
Best looking Muscle car of the Year
👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
I am glad that you are all over this one.
This guy has to have Italian in his blood, his hands are always moving. If he was to loose his arms, he would never speak again!
Waiting for the 23 camaro to be announced I would order a 22 but by the time I get one 2022 will be done. I hope they keep rapid blue I want a 1ss over 2ss because it’s not gonna be a daily
This is so very true!
The Camaros are getting more power as well. 460hp to 480h on the SS, the ZL1s are getting more power and the ZL1 1LE is getting way more power. It’s going to be in the vicinity of 760 plus if I’m not mistaken.
I had a Camaro Z28 when I was 19!! Loved it!! Definitely drive this!! Sweet and 💋💋💋 I do love my reeses, I will take blacked out though
I am so glad that I could share this one with you!
This Camaro is so sick Joe way to go
I am glad that you are digging it!
Seriously, every time I think about selling my 21 2SS 1LE I watch one of Raitis reviews and I immediately change my mind! LOL, I'm dead serious.
Awesome car and review! Definitely would go Camaro over ford and dodge! Matter of fact I’m waiting for GM to open up ordering for the 23’ Camaro so I can get one👍🏻 Supposed to open up ordering this month I was told.
I have a 15 SS. If I was buying a new muscle car, it would be this!
I can tell that manual is so fun to drive!! you can only feel the true power in a manual transmission.
Chevrolet knows how to build a tight automobile. Thanks Joe great review!
Very nice performance, love the blue. Stellar revs coming from that beast! Still think I'm more a Challenger guy though.. Mopar or no car!
Problem is they don’t handle well. But I will say I was smoked at a road course by a challenger rt in my 400whp teg lol
I picked up my 23 2ss 1le 2 weeks ago and i love it happier. It's a bad ass car.
Once you drive a Camaro, you will never even waste your time thinking about the Mustang and Challenger. Not only is the Camaro the best value, it also has the torquiest motor, best automatic and manual transmissions and handles like a dream. There's a reason why the ZL1 near the top of the list for Nurburgring track records yet Ford and Dodge have no entries to be seen.
Dodge is for the drag strip not a track
No head room in the crapmaro
@@BigBossBallSoHard just get the convertible :^)
@@BigBossBallSoHard I'm 6'3" and there's plenty of room. Try again.
I'm 6'2'' 220ish pounds and I have plenty space in mine. It just takes some getting use to. Backseat are unusable though lol.
The contrast between the Rapid Blue and the black hood gives me a headache just looking at it in this video. A friend of mine had a SS 1LE and it was spectacular when you drove it like the performance car it is. When driving it within the limits of the law, I became claustrophibic. I wish he still had it because it was fun to drive.
18’ SS 1LE was my first car in High School, and I loved it. Sold it last year bc I was getting more money than I paid and plus it wasn’t practical for a college student 😂
I just realized you've done more 1LE reviews than anyone else. Must like them
For whatever I thought this would be more pricier than this. Thank you Chevy gods!!!!!
They did a great job with it for sure!
I'm a ford guy but this car is awesome and the color is sick!! I appreciate all awesome cars no matter who makes them!!
Traded my camaro ss in for a charger scat and immediately regretted it. So much so I'm getting the Chevy ss now just because I miss the experience.
🤣 hope you getting a new one and not a 5 gen, that'll be another step back lol anyone could've told u the the charger scat are slow, v6 Camaros mess with those lol
@@cormaro13 I had a boosted scat beating stock redeye. I'm getting a chevy ss and either lsa supercharge or procharge it. Had a max effort NA gen 5 that was rowdy, but I'm invested into sedans at the moment since I have to small kids.
Camaro SS 1LE is my pick of the 3 muscle cars. And that color is cool.
Love the color. I'd say yes, since it looks modern.
At least you know it won't get stolen when you walk away from it.
You are hilarious!
Absolutely love this! I am looking for this exact car with a sunroof!
Everyone has their own opinions! I test drove the 2021 Camaro, a 2019 Ford Mustang GT and a 2016 Challenger Scat Pack. All were manual trans. And with 6-7k miles. The Challenger by far is the most muscle car of them all. I actually thought the 5th Generation Camaro looked better. I think if you’re a Chevy guy you will pick a Camaro but I went in with an open mind. For my money I bought the challenger.
Raiti... your top 3 fav... the total performance package with little to no flaws
Beautiful ride...love that color 🤤🤤
I am so glad that you are digging this one.
Got Damn that thing sounds so good under throttle. Had my earbuds in and it gave me Goosebumps. That's when you know you have a Symphony.
