Looking to out perform its arch rival from Dearborn, Chevrolet unleashes its best Camaro yet. Riding on the all-new Alpha platform, this new 6th generation is lighter, stronger, and more sharp versus the previous Zeta platform. Throw in a fabulous sounding 6.2L V8 and you have the makings of one fantastic muscle car that is track ready from the factory.
'16 camaro is way more handsome than '19 or '20
I agree. It seems as though GM took a step back with the design. I'm not a fan of the front end look as others aren't as well. May be why the Camaro is going to be discontinued yet again. If they went back to the '16-'18 look and made the inside a little bigger with better visibility, they'd do a lot better.
i agree
The new gen look like shit
I'm happy they moved the Bowtie back to where the universe intended for 2020, but the 2016-2018 still looks way better
Trans Am I love both to be honest
Test drove this today. Blown away how it can go from a quiet comfortable cruiser to an all out angry beast at the touch of the mode button. Also the automatic was the best I've ever experienced. It was so responsive. This car is fast as hell too. I mean heart racing fast stock.
The 8 speed automatics are junk I’d rather have the old 6 speed but that newer 10 speed is amazing. Had a terrible experience with the 8 speed on the Cadillac ATS
Scott Mccauley Northstar!? Lmao
Scott Mccauley Ya shame how Americans companies never cared about the long term aspects about their cars. Lexus and Acura was the opposite.
lexus toyota car designed styles japan made
Hearing my neighbor start his every morning helps me get my day started
I don't know why everyone hates the rear of this car. I think it looks amazing now.
CoolBreeze90210 I guess they have bad taste
CoolBreeze90210 looks way better in person!
CoolBreeze90210 Good point; this is one of the design factors that may in fact prompt me to trade in my 2014 Camaro.
Back of 2016 version is better than 2019😎😎
@@rajanicn9269 yes not crazy about the front of the 2019
Got a Camaro Ss as a rental. Best rental ever and crazy fast in a straight line. It was the highlight of my holiday
I test drove one of these today. Blew me away. Didn't think I'd love it as much as I did. Fantastic car.
This is my absolute dream car, I hope I'll be able to own one in the future so much.
Same, but I'm also leaning for a Dodge Challenger
I was obsessed with the 6 gen camaro ss since high school I’m now 2 years into my ownership with a 17’ 2ss no regrets buying this super happy with it till this day
Yesss
This is definitely one of my dream cars as well! I hope to purchase mine next week 🤞🏾🙏🏽
I wanted one of these since the first Transformers came out, the 5th gen was the coolest thing I've ever seen and then when the 6th gen was released I loved it even more. I am so happy to say that after 10 plus years of growing up getting different jobs yada yada, I finally am in my career. And my 2016 2ss manual gets delivered on the 24 of June, and I've never been happier
I'm a Mustang fan but this new Camaro impressed me! Amazing!!
me tew homie me tew lol
I bought a 2SS brand new in 2016.... it still knocks me out every time I drive it in 2019😎
Do you have an auto? Any major issues with it??
How tall are you? Is the front visbility fine?
It's amazing that the Camaro SS outperformed the BMW M4.
+AManWithAPlan4
Not really, BMW has placed the driving enthusiast in the back seat for a while now. They stopped seeing themselves as the performance brand they became famous for and now strive to be a luxury one. The sad part is that they are somewhat getting away with it since everyone associates them with expense and buying one earns a sense of status, or something of that sort. If you told me 15 yrs ago that Cadillac would be besting the Bavarians on the track I would have laughed at your face... how the times have changed.
m2 bout to rape everything around the block with that overboost
+AManWithAPlan4 bmw and the new F platforms are a joke
+M3 enthusiast I agree with you. Overpriced bs.
+lawrence brom But in terms of the M range they don't succeed in offering a luxury experience either... very tacky old fashioned interior. So what purpose does the M range serve? It's out performed by much cheaper cars, and definitely doesn't have luxury interiors to match the price tag.
I love this guys reviews. He makes it all about the car not himself. And he always shows the stuff I'm interested in when it comes to cars
This year looks better than the 2019 version!
Yes that's true, mine is 2ss v8 manual❤💋
Way better! the refresh is so bad
Lol I got 2019 ss I actually think it looks like a beast, love it
Dude, there is nobody. Nobody, who conveys as much information per unit time than u!!!! I swear you don`t even breathe. For a really thorough, encyclopedic review of a car, you can`t be beat. But the listener better have had his/ her coffee first. Thanks!
Love his reviews so much. Rarely ever see this guy so ecstatic when driving, that's how you know this car is amazing. This is my favorite car in its price bracket right now by far. Can't wait for the 1LE trim for 2017
I drove one at a test drive at local car show.. not a Chevy fan... and I needed up searching out & buying a used '16 SS! Lol it's amazing, amazing car... the only bad part, no room, no room... my small 6 year old hardly fits in back! Everything else we love!!
Chevy hit a grand slam with this one.👍👍
+shannon sibley and the stingray
shannon sibley you mean gm
Sofyan -I've seen most of your reviews and NEVER seen you smile that big or be at a loss for words! I was a teen when Mustang and Camaro were introduced and so glad that 50 years later they are still going strong.
gm knows how to build v8s
building this engine how long it takes
They know how to build it but they don't know how to make it last lol
@@Mpast They're known for building V8s that last, that's why they're swapped into just about everything...look how many old Fords and Dodges have LS engines in them.
@@Mpast Youre confusing the LT1/LS engines with the Coyote and Mustang's 4.6....
@@Mpast That's literally what they're known for.. If one doesn't last, it's purely the owner's fault 9 times out of 10.
Randomly stumbled on these videos but the way he hops into the car and looks over everything in fine detail is great!
When you said you'd skip the auto because a muscle car needs a manual transmission, we became best friends.
Left on read
The 8 speed is a monster tranny!! It shifts fast as hell, and the exhaust spits and pops like crazy from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear
I got a 2016 Camaro 2SS fully loaded for $39,950.00 👍 all you have to do is not back down and don't act needy also you have to leave and have them begging you to come back! They want to sell!
Good, your camaro have this option :
Dual-Mode Performance Exhaust ???
Slick Rick with how many miles you say?
# young 1400 but I may have worded that wrong I wasn't advertising to sell my car😉sorry about that
Aye you got a good deal
Slick Rick nice strategy bro! 😃
I like this review! Detailed, straight forward, and no lame jokes. Good work!
Raptor agreed. One of the better reviews I’ve seen recently.
I test drove the 2ss yesterday and I fell in love. As a 2012 ss owner this generation is worlds different than the last generation. I will definitely be getting one this year! Great job Chevrolet on listening to customers. Curious to see what Ford and Dodge will be doing to counter this beast of a car!!
If you want a V8 GM with usable back seats for roughly the same money as a Camaro, look at the Chevrolet SS. Styling isn't as sleek or aggressive as the Camaro but you get much more practicality for those that care about such things, and you still get a big V8 and an option for the magnetic ride control.
Hell yeah. The ultimate sleeper
I have always appreciated how well informed you are about the chassis, the name of the chassis, the design elements, etc. With the Challenger, you mentioned how the car shared the front suspension and rear suspension with specific Mercedes Benz models. You must be combing through trade manuals.
16:07 cop scare

I respect that you actually floor it and not let up great review
Challenger ad before this video. The irony
And nobody's buying a Challenger after watching this video.
except for the Scat packs
Challenger out sold Camaro in may 2016
+Darren Thorsen I'm planning on getting a rt shaker don't really see them much unlike Mustang and camaro everyone and their grandma have one
Same company really....buying either car benefits GM
I've owned 3 Camaro's in the past....a 98 V6. a 97 Z28 and a 99 SS. I love the F-body and can't believe how far GM has come. Even though I am a Mopar head now !
I'm definitely a mopar guy, but watching this i think i would probably choose this.
damn I'm stuck driving a 1997 toyota camry
Me with a 1999 BMW 7 series
Still a very nice car ... some might want a car itself lol ..
At least you're driving brotha , some people are still walking & catching the bus
Be thankful it's not a Camaro. Else you would have paid for several repairs by now.
Zuby A oh really? Is that why my Camaro has never had to be in the shop?
This has been my dream car for my whole life and I’m saving up for it 🤞
Dude these review videos are on point. You seriously nail everything. I absolutely love at the end how to add in your personal preference on a choice, just because given the situation, it is hard to choose between the two. Very well done.
15:14 and 19:00 he turned into Subaruwrxfan
how
DCookStaVideo 😂😂😂😂😂 true
Sir, best comment I've seen in weeks :)
Hes redlining d shit out of it
Last time I was in the States I drove one of these from Texas to Florida and back to Louisiana. Stunning machine. Drank petrol like you wouldn't believe though.
GM getting it done. Always a great concept and now great performance and handling
I agree with you..the best Camaro ever...Never had american muscle car, always leaned towards Japanese, but now I'm really considering this Chevy Camaro SS...
I bought one 3 weeks ago and I still enjoy watching review videos of the car.
How much are your payments and how much did you give down? I'm planning on getting one before summer.
I just bought it outright, 48.5k before rebates and taxes. No regrets.
+TheGreatPetry
Finally, a smart car buyer, if you have the money for a car buy and be proud to call it yours.
I see most people with nice cars but they don't even own it yet, always saying it will be paid off x amount of years.
Too bad I don't have the money or else I would do the same thing. How much would you recommend me to give down?
+XA395XA
I think it would depend on the car, like if the car cost $20,000, a down payment woud be like $2,000 or so.
Love this review I am a Ford person and I like that the Big 3, Chevy, Ford and Dodge are in a performance war as they were in the 60's and early 70's. This 6th Gen Camaro is a big improvement over the 5th Gen, the only thing I dislike is that your vision is limited and to me dangerous.
I thought the same thing until I drove my friends' 2016. It wasn't much different than even my Challenger.
I stumbled across this video looking for reviews of cars and it appeared in my suggested this is a stunning car in my eyes and absolutely amazing review I subbed well deserved keep up the work
Ghost Dog check out my POV drive video of the camaro SS 1LE !!
The Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, and Charger are the pinnacles of muscle cars in the US, at least in my eyes.
I wonder if when chevy designs a car it goes like this "Design engineer we can still see out of the back, make the window smaller...smaller...smaller..ok can't see at all, PERFECT!".
Ryan Barbolt 😂
Drive thru problems 😂
I sat in a 2018 2SS Camaro this past Saturday. And the blind spot is a big deal breaker for me--coming from a person who owns a V-6 Mustang.
I love this visibility it’s what makes a camaro a camaro. You won’t understand until you own one...
@@AStanton1966 it had a reverse camera anyways?
I’m a mustang guy but damn what a beauty. Seriously awesome car. I still wish the camaro had better visibility
Sounds soooo satisfying
Impressive how practical this car appears to be. The cargo size alone stunned me.
Those 2016 tail lights are the best one on any Camaro from any year.
Your great review and the Road and Track review convinced me to purchase the Camaro SS. I have been a Mustang guy for years. Old dogs can learn new tricks! Thanks for this great review!
12:33 "Just put people you don't like in the back seat" 😂
i had the 2012 ss 2lt and when you said "You tend to put people back here you don't like" in regards to the back seat and its space... wow i couldn't agree more.
This one looks well improved.
That sunroof though.
I skipped buying the sunroof. Not because I couldn't afford it, but because I couldn't fit in my car if I did. I test drove one with a sunroof and my head was constantly pressed against the roof. But without I fit perfectly. Btw I'm 6'3
its simply transcended the genre, its able to handle like a M4 or C63 AMG, it has an interior superior to the mustangs, and it offers more equipment than the challenger (MR ride, HUD, Bigger brakes, digital gauges, ect) good job chevy making the new bench mark.
how so? i see that comment is clearly generated by a triggered enraged person, but no facts, information, or counter argument came with it.
oh dear, to be exact the GT350 lost to the Z/28, the 350R beat the Z/28 *after it was out of production* the GT500 like the last GT500 will be a drag racer as per Mr. Shelby's wishes to keep it a drag racing car. the ZL1 beat the GT350R for less money, the 1LE beat the GT350 for less money, and the V6 1LE beat the GT track pack. as for "being crap" according to KBB, edmunds, and consumer reports the mustang has far worse reliability compared to the camaro. #FACTS stick to facts and not fantasy.
you suffer from a sever case of cognitive dissonance. i implore you to check out MT's latest lap times from the 1LE V6, nurbo's ZL1 lap time, and C&D's 1LE V8 lap times. stick to facts and logic.
work on your interior then come back and talk to me. fucking honda civics have better interiors than ford mustangs
It outperforms? How so? The GT is miles behind the new SS in terms of power, acceleration, and handling. Read any article or drive them and you can see that. You're just so biased that you skip over all of the numbers and facts to try to drive your opinion. Besides, the GT350 isn't that far ahead. The SS 1LE matches the time with the GT350 on Willow Springs. All doing it with 74 less horsepower.
Don't rush your videos brother, you're a great reviewer we don't mind hanging around for you to take your time. Great review, just seemed like you were rushing.
Damm. I saw a 2020 V8 camero on autotrader for under $30K brand new. That's absolutely amazing.
one of the best car review you can find on youtube.... love it
2016 has some sick cars
Another Great review, your the best, your very thorough and cover all the bases, your the main reason I bought my 2014 Fiesta ST, I’m on my 4th set of tires at 53,000, I love driving it on three wheels, keep up the Great work.
In the opening of the video. Your talking about the 4th gen camaro and showing the 3rd gen?
This right here is my dream car. All blacked out, Manual Transmission and upgraded exhaust for the crackle. I will die in peace once I get it.
quad exhaust is not standard on the ss
I love watching this review...I keep coming back looking at how the car looks going up and down the road and can't believe I look so aggressive coming down the road!
Anthony B TV check out my POV drive video of the camaro SS 1LE !!
Really exciting car. GM is really turning into a "driver's car" company
Christopher Car Reviews not exactly. Chevy's performance cars are just Camaro and Corvette and they aren't practical for anyone with kids. Cadillac has great sedans but their high performance models are pretty expensive
Again.
Christopher Car Reviews not when almost everything else they build is so fuckin boring
This video told me that I need a 2016 Camaro and a 2016 Mustang. Thanks.
it sounds really similar to the c7 corvette and the interior shares some features and styling with it too
Excellent review without prejudice! My dad bleeds ford blue so i had some biases growing up but this proves that there is good and bad in all automakers. The way you tell the truth is a breath off fresh air! Keep it up man!
The challenger is the only car in the class that still reminds people of a muscle car. Camero and mustang went into more of a sports car area. So when I think of muscle cars now, I think of a challenger... Not a Camero or mustang
Yep lol
The changes are wonderful though, I sat in one in the dealership and so didn't want to get out. The dash, seats, outside looks etc, even the side view mirror is great, the Mustang one is super small, sort of silly. I like how they are involving some new technology with keeping the oldness as well, 2 big thumbs up. Then right after I went to the Ford dealership, sat in the new Mustang, it was okay. They have quite a bit of work to do, unless you don't like any change. The dashboard in the Mustang doesn't look the greatest, sort of getting outdated, I know they're going to change a few things after seeing this Camaro. Chev got the "jump start"!
+Michael James oh don't get me wrong they are great cars but they kinda went a more sporty direction than the challenger did
agre
I'm a Mustang guy through and through.. I do not like the styling of this car, I don't think it's bad I just don't particularly like it, however.. performance wise, Chevy really knocked it out of the park. Great car.. and I'm glad it's a great car, now Ford has to counter and hopefully we get a better Mustang Lol.
Currently my favorite redesign of the redesigned redesigns. 😂😂😂
Love the front of the Camaro.
Love the back of a Mustang.
Had the 2016 V6 Camaro as a rental once, was a blast to drive. I like the interior of the Mustang better though! Hope to get one of these one day.
Chevy needs to improve visibility in the 7th generation Camaro SS
I was in a market for a muscle car, I test drove a Mustang GT, Challenger Scat Pack and a Camaro 2ss, To me all the visibility were the same, they are all great cars, all with pros and Cons, Challenger seemed not as agile, mustang could use more power, Camaro's back end seems to be missing something styling wise. After much deliberation I chose the 2016 Camaro 2ss and I do not regret it, the performance exhaust is worth every damn penny. Its not a bad car to commute with either very comfortable! (40 mile commute one way)
Responding to this 7 years later but I’m looking to buy a 2016 2ss as well and was wondering if you got the auto or manual and if you’ve had any issues if you still own it of course
Great review! That thing takes off!!
First Time ever seen this guy smile and act like this enjoying the ride
I really like this car, but the visibility issue kinda fucks it up for me. Might have to go with the Mustang instead.
Ruben Sanchez no
KSTA Gaming I'm also 6'4 and I feel that I would have a hard time fitting in the Camaro unfortunately
Ruben Sanchez don't need good visibility when you are ahead
Ruben Sanchez I'm about the same height, and I'm pretty fat too, and I fit in it fine. plenty of leg room. my cousin is 6'8" and he loves driving it as well.
I'm a former mustang owner now a challenger owner the Camaros always looked good to me but the corvette C6 or C7 which I want is the best looking modern car to date.
3:41 "It's about an inch slower..." 😂😂
1M Views, nice, this is the kind of rating you deserve, keep the great job.
Mustang needs this engine.
Nahhhh
+Motley Crue Rather, Mustang needs that exhaust
+Motley Crue Mustang needs something that will prevent people from wanting to do LS swaps on them lol
S Alex Coyote is a fine motor, but its only 302 c.i......needs to be bigger, the lack of torque is the problem.
+Motley Crue Can't they tune engines for torque?
I love how when you said something about 4th gens, you showed pics and videos of 3rd gen Irocs
Seems to me like the Challenger is comfort cruiser focused, Camaro is track and performance focused, and the Mustang falls somewhere in the middle : )
But the GT350 is better on track and daily driver compared to Camaro, from what I've heard
Caleb Whitted
Well, this is the SS. Which I would compare to the Mustang GT.. The GT350 would be better compared to whatever high-po Camaro version Chevy drops.. ZL1 or Z/28
+bliglum true, than yeah. What you said is true.
Does it? Where'd you hear that from?
AllyourBaseArebelongToUs
bliglum Mustang forums.
Ford didn't offer any coolers for the brakes,oil, or steering.
as a fix, the base gt350 will offer those coolers in next year's model.
As soon as he floored it, that speed blew me away 😨😨😨
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it have an LT1 instead of the LT4?
+BioSargee Yes, you are correct. The LT4 is the motor in the Corvette Z06, our mistake. That is notated in the engine scene for the review :)
+Redline Reviews And the motor in the upcoming 2017 Camaro ZL1! :D
+Redline Reviews I bet the 2017 Camaro ZL1 will make you shoot in your pants, cant wait for that review
+Redline Reviews you mentioned the performance exhaust adds power. But for the Camaro it does not.
The new 2019 and 2020 have the LT1 V8
I went to the Dealership looking for a truck. Drove off with this.
18:54 LOL, the censoring of the speedometer tho xD
There was no speed acceleration at 18:54
Fantastic review, Sofyan. Love your pure, raw joyful emotions and reactions! The pure joy and fun shows on your face! Really gives your review, and all of your work, a very real and human quality, in addition to all of the great insights and info, that really stands apart from other reviewers. Bravo, Sir.
Love everything about this car minus the tail lights
imo the headlights and grill are ugly af.
thats all i see in my rear view mirror soz

hate the tail lights should of kept the half moons

I would love to work for Redline Reviews someday haha
Good review. You are a fast talker but that's not really a bad thing. You hit all the key points in a short review, good job
did anyone else notice he blurred out him going 100mph at 18:57 lol
lol why?

@@RaviPatel0223 he wasn’t over 110
Can't buy good visibility :/ still a sweet looking car
it takes 2 maybe 3 weeks and you get used to the visibility its not even an issue with me.

***** i kind of figured, they said the same about the new Mustang's slightly longer hood. Im 6'1 so im sure id like it
***** Thats what i figured. i saw a yellow one on the road for the first time and it looked awesome
bingster 223 I know this is 3 years late but I just got mine yesterday and it took me litterally a couple hours and I’m fine now
i really hated this car when GM announced it especially the look of the rear end but this video just changed my mind
i would proudly buy it even with the Auto
1964 1/2 was the first year for the Mustang, not 1965.
As a Camaro SS owner my recommendation is this: FF to 18:50 on the video and the following couple minutes describes the experience of this car.
"This one looks just like the 5th gen"
Not exactly.
