You can’t make a wrong choice with any newer muscle car 🤣Dodge, Chevy, and Ford are all hitting it out of the ballpark. Everyone has their own taste though, mine being Camaros!
Only issue with dodge is they don’t handle well on a race track.
L L. bruh w performance tires they just fine lol
@@ll.7927 the only killer for me is they’re so damn heavy. I absolutely love the design for the charger but the weight gives itself a handicap for the Scatpack and Hellcat trims.😭
@@ll.7927 Camaro is the best all around .
@@gmoo0301 one can easily trim off 5-600 pounds and more
Absolutely the 1LE is worth every penny. I have it’s direct competitor in the performance pack level 2 but I absolutely admire the 1LE. I crossed shopped them but I do like the fact that literally I have the only pp2 in my area. At the same time I rarely see 1LE camaros also. If I trade my pp2 in it will ONLY be for an ss 1LE. Scatpack widebodys look great but the 1LE is just an all around beast.
Loved the 18' Mustang GT PP1. I was so close to getting it until I read the car & driver comparison (and saw my red 1le on the show room floor for the first time ever).. it takes the mustang PP2 just to compete with the 19' SS 1LE and the 1LE is still faster around the track. All wonderful cars though! V8 is where its at. 19' Flow tie one off haha love it. These are the last of a dying breed, kinda sad actually, lets enjoy them while we can!
I'm 72 years old and I have a 23 1ss 1le 6spd. This is one FUN car my wife has to remind me that lm not 17. Somethings NEVER change
I bought one a few months ago to replace an M4. Hands down the 1LE is an amazing performance car. Mines not a daily driver, but in Tour mode, the mag ride with the recaros is a very pleasant ride. The dual mode exhaust goes into quiet mode on the highway with no drone.
Floor it and the exhaust roars, ELSD keeps you going straight, the 6 speed is probably the best I’ve ever shifted and rev match is a dream. Well worth the $7000.
How is it compared with the m4? I'm a 335i owner debating between those two.
I think the the 1LE is worth the 7k. You have one of the best handling sports cars you can buy. With all the suspension, tires, brakes cooling, ect. On top of that if anything goes wrong with it while on the track I believe the 1LE comes with the warranty.
its in the times I know, but cars like this really should be offered with smaller wheel options. forged 18s would be my choice
@hanzen5174 the 20s would be more stable in turns because of less sidewall
The most underrated sports car package period. If you open up the air flow on the engine then you easily have a 2021 BMW M4 rival for far cheaper.
Traded in my 392 boat for a 21’ 2ss. Totally worthy it, the looks, performance, and overall smaller car totally different ball park from the scat
Ditto 🤡
How is the visibility compared to the Scat? Is it really that bad?
I would love a Camero but the back seats are not existent
@@arkadiusw.897 nah it ain’t bad at all. Yeah sure the rear a pillars are the biggest blind spot but that’s why I have the 2ss for the blind spot monitoring and if I’m still not sure on making a lane change I can always just turn my head around to verify. No big deal and not that it happens often because the blind spot it pretty dead on🤷♂️ after a week of driving and anyone would become accustom to it
@@Changed2024 Thanks for your reply my man. Enjoy your ride!
I have to admit, It's a gorgeous looking Camaro. With an awesome sounds as well. Black and white looks really great on it. Not to mention those wheels. Great review Racer X!
Thanks buddy.. I agree! It’s really sharp
FINALLY! I remember asking for this several months ago on a live. Thank you for getting to it, great review!!
Great review as usual! I switched from a Challenger to a 2021 Black 2SS 1LE Manual for windy canyon roads, Camaro is so much more fun! The short throw Tremec is the magic sauce, top it off with ventilated Ricaro’s ☠️
Is it a good canyon carver or is it too much? I currently miata thru the canyons but lately have been craving more power...
Love the review! I have a 17 SS 1LE and I absolutely love it! Handles great and so much fun to drive!!!
WOW. The best reviewer and car guy got around to my new Camaro, 😁 I got my 2021 A10 2ss 1le in February and I cant get enough if it. It's a brawler and will get your heart rate up.
Glad you got the A10 instead 6m
@@6gendj584
You can't go wrong either way, and truthfully I do miss rowing out the gears on occasion, but that A10 really fires off the shifts and builds speed in Tour mode with no dramatics, just solid driving, love it!
@MIKEYD.
Racer X is pretty krunk up, but I don't find him flappy, just genuinely pumped with what he is doing.
@@joesmithatridecorp9011 I went to an A10 from M6 and I feel the same especially downshifting with the rev match on coming to a stop. The A10 quickly changes my mind at WOT though!
The 1LE package isn’t available with the A10, but the SS can be optioned out with much of what the 1LE package includes.
I love the way he gives this car justice on the exhaust lol “just listen to it😌” said that back to back 😂 ya love to see it!
Always great reviews, from more of a Blue oval guy. A review of this camaro package and Shelby GT350
would have been awesome matchup, love the content my friend keep up the great work.
I just bought this exact car about a week ago. Never would have thought I luck up and see a review with the actual car.
Great video brother love the content on all your videos I love all the muscle cars dodge Ford and Chevy keep doing videos on all of them
To me if you're a car person, the 1LE is a no brainer over the standard SS. I've driven many SS's and the 1LE was just going to be my obvious choice. I bought a 2018 1LE and it's just different in many good ways.
Your videos keep getting better all the time!!....especially when you do Camaros....from a Camaro owner
Thank you brother 🤜🔥
Best looking camaros, white 1LEs 😍
It’s striking for sure
Great review on the darkside from a Mopar guy!!
Lol basically what I thought I'm new the the channel but I know he's team Mopar but he isn't biased as far as reviews
Thank you my friend.. gotta show the Chevy guys love too 👍

@@RacerX9 good attitude. I'm a Chevy guy myself mainly but, I like fords and mopars too! I always tell people, are you a car guy or not at the end of the day!
Not only yes it’s worth it…. It’s the first box you should check when ordering/specing your camaro
I agree 🤜🔥
I ordered a 2022 2SS 1LE on Oct 7th and 1LE was literally the first box I checked off. I should be taking delivery after a few more weeks
@@infidel66687 keep it it is RARE…. Mines like 1 of 1300

Very unbiased. love your videos man in Alabama Camaro blood 4eva
Racer X strikes again but this time he brings to us the 1LE !!! , just a beautiful car I love the fact Chevy installed the nice beefy tires on it . Dodge needs to stop installing Caravan tires on there Scat Packs and Challengers . Thanks again Racer X . Cheers
Yes you are right Mike.. the most torque of the bunch on the Dodge with the smallest tires lol
Nice !
Appreciate the reviews you do man 👍
Thank you my friend
Good vid man. The SS 1le is a perfect canyon carver and track car.
I was just looking at this car right before I saw your video!
I had the 5th gen 1LE. It is a good car. I modded mine. 525rwhp... It wasn't until the 10speeds came that I started getting left by Mustangs, ZL1 and Corvettes.
Just bought a 2020 in shadow gray metallic last weekend after a LOT of looking around across the US (over 6000 listings... that took awhile). The car I'd describe is "firm, but predictable and planted".. there's no guesswork with this setup; the car telegraphs everything. That's a good thing in a car like this though, as there's so surprises with what to expect when you're driving it. I personally love the interior and what they've done to make it SIMPLE, but aesthetically pleasing. it's not busy in there, but it's far from boring. Overall, an excellent car and money well spent. One of my favorite changes on this car is the rev-matching function; I don't need it, but it's absolutely a cool piece of technology included in the car.
You are a great car reviewer,cover all the bases and explain it it,so well,and thorough,New camaros about nzd 120,000 here but beautiful cars,thankyou ,awesome,you da man love watchin all your vids,best wishes frm Auckland,New Zealand,⭐🧨🔥👍🙂😉😉
Thank you my friend
Great review! I had to subscribe 👌🏽
That’s a nice car, but I’ll stick with my hellcat, love the triple Punch RacerX , that’s going to get some more traffic coming in, LOL,Going to be hitting 100,000 really soon, congrats on that!
Always wanted a camaro. Finally trying to buy a 1Le after owning a challenger and charger
Although I’m a Challenger guy, the Camaro SS looks fun to drive. Gimme the ‘69 Camaro SS and I’ll be happy 🔥
How dare you switch sides lol
Yes. It’s worth it. I agree wholeheartedly the six speed manual is everything for this car they are rare they won’t be making them for much longer and my goodness will they go up in value! But that’s OK the masses can comfort themselves with the fact that the Automatic is 1/ 10th of a second faster on the track that he will never drive it on. Even though the fact is there’s 20 more horsepower at the wheel with the manual transmission not as much power is lost through friction. With an automatic it drives you. With a manual you drive the car. That’s why people respect the manual. That’s why it’s the most fun. That’s guy knows what he’s talking about. But that’s OK most if you have the automatic. My regrets to you.
YES!! This package is amazing!! I owned a 2017 SS 1LE in Yellow and it was one of my favorite cars I’ve ever owned. The suspension and brembo brakes are some of the best you’ll find. I’m so made I traded it in. The power to weight ratio is fantastic. Highly recommended not for your daily.
Just saw you in the Camaro ss in traffic! Looked up your channel and it’s sick! Keep working brother man
thank you my friend
Should have tried to get his autograph.😂
Great reviews X, swear you can talk me into even buying a beat up old hyundai lol
Lol.. gotta hypnotize you where I can 😬
Been waiting for this one. Just got my 1le last month.
Nice.. hopefully your enjoying it
@@RacerX9 it’s a big step up from my sxt challenger. It’s my daily so I give it the beans quite often.
Having owned 2019 & 2021 Camaro SS, the simple answer is yes, it's worth it. The handling even beats the 2015 Corvette Z51 I had and unlike the Vette, bottoming out doesn't happen nearly as often... or ever. Plus, LOOK AT THOSE WHEELS😍
Just a heads up, that car looks like a 1SS 1LE not a 2SS. The 2SS has heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel and the Bose entertainment system which that car doesn't appear to have.
And the camera rear view mirror that solves 80% of visibility issues lol can’t live without it now
Correct. This is a 1SS. Also missing the illuminated door sill and ambient lighting inside the cabin
I never seen you without a hat lol. Great video as always brother 💪
Haha you didn’t think the top of head actually existed .. lol 😂.. gotta switch it up once in a while
Nice intro! I like the supercharger with the blowoff!
Thank you my friend
Well, I have a Dodge Charger RT, and I love it. But I just purchased the Camaro SS 1LE, and I have to say that it's an awesome muscle car. It is very much underappreciated and underrated.
Im so used to seeing you with a hat on. Caught me off guard for a second 😂
Mine is a 17 Super Sport with manual non 1LE. 6 speed is the way to go for pure old school fun.
Sounds great 🔥
For sure
Owned a 2019 C7 Corvette manual and a 2020 Camaro 1LE manual and I must say, I prefer the Camaro.
Better exhaust sound, better stick shift, better seats and a back seat. Can't believe they only sold 426 in 2020...
Just bought a 2022 2SS 1LE and no regrets, absolutely love the car. I had a 2014 5th Gen ZL1, but sold it after a couple summers back in 2016. I went with the 1LE mostly due to some of the 1LE only looks
I don’t see myself purging this one anytime soon and at this point not missing the supercharger.
i woulda kept the zl1 what a dowwwwn grade 😢
@@mondo9.2.5 Have you owned both ? My 1LE would drive circles around my 5th Gen …
My fave Camaro package. Would've bought it if the cockpit wasn't so cramped (for me...I'm on the large side). Best looking wheels Chevy ever made.
I'm 6ft 270lbs. It is snug but, I love it! I got mine new 2020. Most fun to drive car I've ever owned and I'm a former corvette owner.
@@Tusuperbis Same size as me! Holy crap! That's pretty funny. Another problem was, when the wife and I got in the car she smashed her head pretty good on the roof...she is not a big girl...5'8" 140...she was so pissed. I love the 1LE and think it's the best of the bunch...but it just wasn't for me. Currently LOVING my SRT392
@@impala666 good deal! All that matters is you love what you got and the 392 is an awesome car as well! Cheers
When I was looking at cars I was stuck between the 1LE or Daytona 392. It was a tough choice but man they do look sick. 🔥
I’m with ya buddy
So by that thumbnail I say you went with mopar.
Interior suspension looks bad ass wheels definitely worth it
Nice glasses😅 also great video. Camaro fan all day
@RacerX That aftermarket airbox is actually a GMPP factory option for both the LT1 and SS.
1LE is much like the ScatPack. Little more tame for the daily. Both great. For me its the Charger Scat because I like having a usable trunk and back seats. The 1LE was on the list and almost won.
I raced a 392 charger with my SS, I beat him, but I knew I wasn’t the winner. He had at least two females in the car with him 😂 backseat won that day
Great video bro i ran 11.97 1/4 mile with my nee 5.0 stock ..its gunna be on my channel soon
The 2SS 1LE is a ZL1 minus the supercharger (LT1 instead of the LT4)... the 1SS 1LE is the same but minus a few comfort items like fancy LED interior trim lighting and a few other odds and ends.
I had a 2019 1ss 1le and im picking up a new 2023 1ss 1 le end of September in white just like this video . 1 le package is awesome. I got the anti theft millenial package (6 speed manual )
The 1LE is not worth it for me because I will never track my car. My car has the magnaride suspension which is more than adequate for street or canyon carving.
Yeah I'm looking into getting a SS 1LE but like the front of the 2018, an the tail lights on the 2019
I like the 2018 design better the front and those taillights felt like a statement from Chevy then the 2019 design i felt they took 1/2 (yes i said 1/2) step backwards instead of forward but overall I would love to own a Carmaro this coming from a challenger owner 😅
I think you were spot on, Bro. Depends on your finances as to whether or not it's worth it. An extra 7k is a big difference. The Mustang GT adding the Performance Pack is only about 4k more in comparison. If you get the SS in your budget, but the 1LE package added really taxes your budget then DO NOT do it. It will be fun, but you'll regret it down the road. The Stock SS is still a fun ride. The experience with the 1LE will be different from a stock SS, but not radically different like between a six and eight cylinder engine. Appreciate what you can get. Stay within your means. Have fun.
Camaro SS 1LE option offers more features and class exclusive eLSD which is a big advantage over mustang. Ford PP is not the same as SS 1LE option.
@@FL50ssp Oh, no doubt. But, look at the cost! I could get two PPs added to two different Mustangs for the cost of one 1LE add on. If you have the money, sure, go for it. However, any higher and you might as well just save up for a ZL1. It's a great package, but if you have to get into serious debt to get it, you just shouldn't.
I love all 3 cars, Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye wide body, 2nd. Camaro SS 1LE and Ford Mustang GT500 Super Snake in that order. Thank you! 🙂
racerX is the honorary spokesman of the car community lol

Those rims are fire 🔥
Yes I really like them

Nice haircut , the glasses bring it out . 👌
Thanks I did it myself .. lol
Actually that is a 1ss 1le. If it were a 2ss, it would have an extra button on the steering wheel for heated wheel, as well as the lighting package, Bose, dual climate control, heated /vented seats, memory seats, and a few extra things.
I wondered that.. It was a bit confusing because when I checked the VIN it showed up as 2ss car. Perhaps I am missing something
Perhaps he is lying lol for the views
@@RacerX9 you can have a 1ss 1le or a 2ss 1le. The 1le is just the track package. I was informing people that just because you have a 1le doesn't mean you get nav, Bose, heated /cooled seats, memory seats etc. You will regardless of 1/2ss get leather back seats, recaro front suede leather seats, suede steering wheel/shifter, short throw, gm track suspension +mag ride, Zl1 rear diff, no lift shift is at 5,000 rpm (6,400 for normal ss), ptm race modes, hud, those sweet ss 1le forged wheels (20x10 front /20x11 rear), front diffuser, ss 1le rear spoiler, 6 piston from brembo brakes, 4 piston rear brembo brakes, and extra oil /diff coolers. I might be missing a couple other things right off the top of my head.
Hey RacerX this is a little off topic, but have you or are you going to do a video of why you sold the Hellcat. I was just wondering and I looked and did not find a video addressing that. Thanks.
Yes it is, look at what you get with it, mag ride, NPP and a host of things.
I have a'21 Camaro SS1LE Manual and it's WORTH IT.. just the seats and brakes if you don't even want to track it. Plus they look more BITCHIN'
Absolutely dream car 🚗
It’s a nice ride for sure
The beauty of the package is that with all the extra coolers the 1LE has, you never have to worry about overheating on the track like the Shelby Mustangs initially did.
The car comes equipped with both a transmission cooler and additional cooling for the rear end.
It works brilliantly.
Love the 1le.
Yep it’s a sick package
Did they redesign the 2021 camero ss? Ik the refreshed it but ive never noticed the much more aggressive the trunk and quarter panels are now I like it.
Hey racer x , quick question. do you prefer Naturally Aspirated power plants or forced induction ?
In my opinion it's a 6 spd.all day long, 6 spd. makes you part of the car
Love my M6 ZL1 1LE 🦇
the seats ,brakes shocks ,exhaust, suspension and graphics upgrades would run you 7000 or a bit more ,so yes if your happy with those upgrades go for it the one draw back to the package is you cannot add ground effects
Great review. I think the turbo comes on the 4c.
Yes I think I misspoke.. it’s a 4 cylinder turbo and the 6 cylinder is NA
Love the video X 💯 How does this stack up to the infamous Mustang GT PP1 fully loaded with mag ride in your opinion?
@FullyFocused 11 negative ghost rider.
In terms of a track car, I'd say the 1le would be faster around a road course. You'd need a PP2 to keep up. For a street car, the mustang is the better, more practical daily. That's coming from an SS owner.
@@Jr_5646 agreed , I myself had a 2015 camaro SS but my Premuim PP1 mustang Gt is way more comfy for a daily
Almost 90% of the way to that coveted 100K RUclips subscribers Plaque ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
For sure brother.. won’t be too long now
My 1LE is amazing
Only if your going to love not going I just a straight boring line! & round n round the track you love to go! 🥂❤️👌🏽🙇🏽♂️
Hmm...cold air intake and aftermarket runners, but I also see msd plugs, wires, upgraded battery wire, I wanna say upgraded battery, throttle body, and I wanna say upgraded thermostat but that part I wouldn't be able to say without actually taking it out and looking. We all know with mods like that in a place with temps like yours, the thermostat is one of the best and cheapest mod to have. 🤗🤗🤗
For sure.. this one had a bit done.. but nothing too crazy
Wait... is this the real racerx lol!!!
I was looking at that Super Snake in the background, but then saw it wasn't supercharged so I never inquired about it.
RacerX New subscriber. Do u really think in a 1/4 mile or stop light race, that the auto is faster than a great stick shift driver?
100%. And I LOVE an M6.
I'm a new subscriber. What cars do you currently own?
Welcome to the channel my friend.. just the Mustang at the moment
so the newer 1LE is the best version to get or the lowest ? i’m confused
I have a 2019 zl1 and I like those rims better than mine.
Yes I really like the 1LE rims
This car is for that guy or girl that wants a GT350 but hates Ford and wants it to last longer. I really considered getting this as a replacement for a GT350 but got a STi because I can be a dad and still have fun.
Dude..at 6:30 there's a red 2020 Shelby mustang in the background that would be a kickass review!
Yes its been up there for a bit.. its a super snake but it's not supercharged.. never seen that
@@RacerX9 a N/A super snake? 🤔 that's odd
That's a great product that GM came out with.
I'm surprised that you haven't done a review on the redline.
Anyone know the manufacturer of the CAI?
I'm not entirely sure but I actually want to say it's the upgraded CAI from the factory. It looks similar to it.
Intake manifold- longtube headers -it has to be tuned to run right - so easy 500rwhp
I had 1969dZ 28 78 1/2 Z 28 seven another 69Z airport I had another 70 Z I have a wife and then I got the 85 and 86 the best one to look out the side with the 85 you can see the best around here they come out they ever made
Review that red supersnake
A friend of mine had a green one. It had tons of power and the handling was unbelievable. The Tremec shifted great. The interior was terribly uncomfortable and I felt very claustrophobic in it. Those Recaro seats killed my back after 30 minutes. I think the seat bottom angle put my back in a bind. It felt like I was sitting in a 5 gallon bucket. I really liked the car and would enjoy driving it if you could adjust the seat to make it comfortable.
How big are you? I'm 4' 11" and feel the same way.
I wouldn’t purchase a Camaro without 1LE.
Actually just sold my 2016 sti got bored of it, and purchased a 2022 1SS 1LE 47k brand new (: summit white 6 speed but now I need a daily beater
Love the way it looks just don't like the sitting position. You sit so deep in the car and it does have some blind spots. I like to put my arm on the door. But it's not comfortable with the Camaro. PS the Drag Van ran a 7.82 with a 1.68 60ft.
Wow great job brother.. very impressive
Yes.
Thanks for the non judgmental reporting. You always seem to present info in a fair and balanced way. Long time multiple Camaro owner here. Still got two in the garage...IMO, the Camaro 1LE and the Mustang GT 350 are among the best cars out there for all around performance if you want a stick shift car that is well balanced. The right Headers and cam and tune put a bunch more horsepower in these cars. Yes. The ILE package is worth it for all the useful content you get, and it’s sorted from the factory with a warranty.
As for the A10 vs M6 debate, I would love to see someone do a time comparison around a track with corners to see how much difference there is, if any between identical cars with different trans. I would also like to see Dyno comparisons with rear wheel horsepower data. The reason autos have become popular (have been for decades with drag racers) is they are more consistent. You don’t miss shifts, like you can in a manual. But are they still less efficient at putting all the power down and losing wheel horsepower compared to manuals? That was old school. Is that still the case with the new boxes? Anybody?
