#camaro #chevrolet #chevy
Why I got the V6. The money that wasn't used for a V8 was used to purchase a house. Make a wise investment young people.
v8 400 lbs more !! think !!!!
@@alexanderwesner9980😂😂
@@futureparadise.2089 it does not corner the same. I drive both V6 and V8.
@@alexanderwesner9980 oh I drive neither man haha, I still have my ‘07 Trailblazer SS
I have a 23' RS Camaro. I'm looking to build wealth. I may have a V6 but I'm striving for that V12 money 😅
I own a 2019 Camaro w/ RS Package and a year later love it as much as the day I drove it off the lot. The V6 is a perfect everyday driver.
I bet great weight distribution!
Yep
@John Wick yes its good. It gets the job done

You could float that boat Challenger of yours across lake superior if you wanted
When it comes to the back seat of the Camaro RS 2017
I'm buying the car for myself. And no one else. if you are uncomfortable.
sitting in the backseat. I recommend that you take the bus
Ha
I personally got a Camaro cause every1 hates them so much. Every1 drives a Stang or Challenger nowadays. I like being different. I love my 19 V6 so far.
Thanks for sharing! The Camaro definitely feels like the forgotten one now.
It really does and it’s sad because they are so good
I actually see more Camaros than I see Challengers where I’m at
Where I live more people have Camaro, Challengers ,and chargers. I’m starting to see less mustangs.
@@tomdubois3062 yeah I see a lot of chargers too tbh perhaps bc they’re the only 4 door muscle car
A v6 camaro from 2016-19 and up is fun enough, has enough power, has an exotic sound. What isn’t there to like? Yea it’s not a v8 but at the same time you would be comparing 2 different types of engines. A v8 guy will always want the v8 and discredit a v6
Very true!
I like to call those guys fanboys/elitists.
v8 is 400 lbs more !!! think !!
This dudes are probably v8 owner just wanting to bash people with v6
Well we have a turbo 4 cylinder Abarth 500 a twinturbo v6 amg glc 43 coupe a supercharged v8 ftype and a naturally aspirated v6 camry.... we got it all around.
I drive a 2016 2SS. But I've driven the V6 LT. The V6 is pretty damn good for what it is and it performs better than many late 90's early 2000's V8 Sports/Muscle cars. My only real complaint about the 6th gen Camaro, is the visibility. But you get used to it. With the 2SS I got the Recaro seats, knee pads, steering wheel and shifter boot. So it makes the interior look much better. As far as the back seats, I didn't buy a Camaro to lug people around in. I have a 4 door crew cab truck for that. Camaros never really had much space in the back, most especially with the 4th gen F-body and the 5th and 6th gens. The backseats are there primarily for insurance purposes. As far as performance, the Camaro is bar none, one of the best performing cars on the road. The steering is by far the best I've experienced with the right feedback, you know exactly what the car is doing under you. But with GM going to primarily Electric/Hybrids beyond 2023, my next car likely with be a HEMI powered Charger or Challenger. I've driven and rode in more than enough Mustangs to know they're just mostly garbage with an excellent tuned exhaust.
Good feedback and right up. Thanks for sharing.
Haha! These fools went into this review already hating.
These fools had no hate at first.
You guys are the first only ones in RUclips that complain about the interior, is great simple and clean design, no like the competitor vehicles with tons of plastic
Also the fact that only the head is visible through the window is awesome, any other cool sport car has the same lower looking.
Just about every single car magazine and journalist ever has complained about how horrible all GM interriors are.
@@PerformanceOnWheels I agree with GM having terrible interiors, especially their trucks, but I think they did well with the Camaro.
@@TheVaado We just reviewed a c8 corvette... video will be out soon, your gonna wanna check it out!
If Beavis and Butt Head had a car review channel...this is what it would look like...
Yes! Pretty sure that is a compliment.
I just bought a house at 24 it was built in 2016 and has 4 bd, 2.5 ba, 2 story, it has a huge, backyard (very huge), we also have a theater room, and it's 2,400 sqft. Perfect for me and my twin. She has a 7th Gen Mustang Ecoboost. I have a 23' RS Camaro. The funny thing is one of our neighbors have a V6 Camaro and another neighbor down the street has a V6 Mustang. This neighborhood has older homes and newer homes. But the older homes still look brand new. The neighbors across the street from our house have a 5,000+ sqft house built in 2008. It's a beautiful view to look at, it's like a castle. You can definitely tell people in this neighborhood got 💰 💰 I'd rather have an almost paid for V6 living in a beautiful home than have a V8 sitting outside with no garage at an apartment complex. I love our house, because that is where I do most of my living, not in my car. I love pulling up in my driveway and seeing the magnificent curb appeal. For the people that I know that have a V8, that's their "house note".
You could tell these guys hated the car before they said a word. Why not just make a 10 second video of you taking a dump on the car? It would’ve got the point across and I could’ve save myself nine minutes and 38 seconds.
I don't hate the car. I do enjoy driving the car. Buying a Camaro would be a different story. Unless it was Z/28
I like the Camaro I just got it 2020 v6 1lt going from a v6 firebird with 200 hp I’m pretty happy with it I can’t afford the insurance of a v8 cuz I’m paying for college but I chose the Camaro cuz it was the closest thing to my firebird bird and it makes more power then the ecoboost and the challenger sxt. It makes good power for a v6 I actually beat my dads 2016 rt challenger 6speed manual with my Camaro.
Its a great handling car!
I don't get the interior hissy fits about the Camaro, they are better in the SS models but so what. When i buy a sport/muscle car i don't give zero fucks what the dash board looks like. Me personally i do NOT want some goddamn fucking light show inside my car maybe it's just me though i don't know, what would you want it to look like. I like less nooks and crannys i like simple and clean
STILL FASTEST V6 OUTTA CHALLANGER AN STANG BAHHAH
Im looking at one of these. How are they for daily driving in terms of reliablity and gas milage?
It's not to cool the brakes. It's to reduce drag
The v6 Camaro rs changed me, use to only like dodge until I chose it and fell in love
A Challenger can't touch the camaros handling ability.
@@PerformanceOnWheels hell no! Lol
🚗🚗
The same happened with me lol
From 1971 to 2002 there were no Camaros made with 335 HP.
The needle doesn't move that fast, on less the performance timer is incorrect my best 0 to 60 to date came in at 4.8 seconds. The V8 can do it in 4.1 seconds seven tenths of a second faster than the V6 i wouldn't call that killing it.
That's pretty quick
Robert Jakicic you’re doing 0-60 in under 5 seconds in a six? Wow. I guess I’ve been underrating these !
@@benedictdonald4338 its impressive. Kinda like the 4cyl mustang isent far off the gt at all
@@benedictdonald4338 That one time the performance timer said 4.8 seconds I was never, ever able to duplicate that time again. The best I'm getting now is between5.1 to 5.3.
I bought a 2013 V6 Camaro convertible with 25k miles for $20k last year. I love it not bad on gas, cheaper insurance, drive it everywhere (not in the winter). Plenty of power, no complaints from me.
I honestly think you're on to something, the poor sales of this 6th gen Camaro is solely because of its horrendous interior design quality and poor visibility. Its unfortunate because this Alpha chassis is fantastic and now GM decided to kill it which is totally insane to me.
Well said Rudy F. I don't want to dislike it as much as I do (the interior) I think it takes away from what the car does offer. Thanks for watching and commenting!
he's wrong about the engine . Its a 3.6 lgx motor only found in the rs and cadillac sts . Know what your doing before you review,
the v6 with the 10 speed auto is great!
I own a 2022 LT1 6.2 and my brother in law just bought a 2018 RS..I'm watching because I was curious on how it performs.
I have a camaro rs and I personally like camaro a lot I don’t know what it is but I’ve always liked them since elementary and yea they power is ok since I’m still in high school I’m planning on boosting it tho and I we’ll probably never sell this car just because it’s my first car and close enough to my dream car and that’s a zl1
When I order mine, I'm going long on options, and short on power, with the added benefit of lower insurance.
Bro reviewed this like he was comparing it to a 2023 AMG. It’s an American sports car .
I just recently got the 2017 rs 50th anniversary edition. I upgraded from a 2013 ls. Engine size wise is pretty much a lateral move. But at least i can hear it. The ls was too quiet. Camaros were meant to be heard regardless of engine size. I like the look of the gen6 as well. Not a big fan of the front end on the 2019 and up Camaros though. They look too much like the newer chargers. I'm happy with my Camaro.
camaro rs 2018. just awsome murrican piece of heaven :)
what car has better interior for the money its a cheap car lol!!
Bought my 2018 RS with 3000 miles on it in 2018 for $25000.
Package is better than the standard mustang or challenger. Would i like better nicer interior of course. Am i put out about it no its still very nice for what i payed.
My RS will do 105 mph 13.6 seconds in 1/4 mile that’s faster than most mussel cars of the day. Faster than about anything of the 80 and 90’s including exotics. 150 + mph is faster than most people will ever do. Average 20 mpg over 30 on highway its a daily driver with 55,000 miles on it now. Only problem was sunroof stopped working had to fix.
I believe for the money one of the best deals out there.
20 inch wheels not the 18 inch uglys like on 4 cylinder mustangs. My RS turns head’s wherever i go get more compliments than any car or truck iv owned and iv owned a lot. Dont buy a camaro for people to sit in the back why so they can ruin it. Not worse than say a mustang or challenger they all suck for back seat space. Also had a gen 5 3.6 over 100,000 miles on that power steering started leaking only trouble i had with that camaro.
Anyway think ur a little hard on this car its a great deal and great performer handling is great rife is good fast and don’t break the bank what else can u ask for. A supra thats same HP thats $20,000 more or a Nissan 300 Z that iv smoked more than once. Lol!!
I drive a 2015 RS and it's perfect. Plenty of power when you need it, more reliable than a V8, lower insurance premiums, better on gas, and will last longer. Besides, I'm not some immature boy racer who wants to throw away my money by doing donuts in the parking lot, trying to impress some dorks for the moment. I'm a single guy who needs a daily driver to get to work and occasionally, the grocery store. The RS is not just perfect because of what I said before but the fact it's a badass, mean looking car, too.
I’ve done some mods which put me at 400hp, everytime I get on the streets or freeway it’s always a hellcat or 5.0 trying to race me lol guess they think it’s a1LE
Then your only pushing 320 hp wheel, so your smart not to even try and race them
🤣
What are some things you’ve done to your Camaro. I have a 2014 rs stock. Only has an exhaust. But I have now idea where to start to gain power, besides getting a cold air intake.
Same overkill setup, I’ve beaten a scatpack from a dig with my 400hp v6 & I got to start recording it!
Thanks for the unbiased review. I’m debating on whether buying a 3LT V6 Camaro or an Ecoboost Mustang. Which one would you recommend in terms of reliability and quality (interior and exterior)?
We do have a video as well that is our opinion on the v8 vs Ecoboost mustang FYi. My initial reaction would be Mustang without hesitation. However the Camaro has been the underdog for a bit now, that kinda makes me like it. Ultimately I do think I would choose mustang. I think it is a funnier car to drive, I also enjoy the interior a lot more. Drive them both, let us know what you decide and why. Would love to know. Like, subscribe and check out that mustang video.
Getting one real soon
Awesome! Excited for you.
Is no one going to talk about that the speedometer is in kilometers?
Gotta make it seem faster than it is
Trading in my 2011 rs tomorrow for a 2020 lt camaro. Im a fan and it works great as my everyday driver. I live in Pittsburgh and belong to The Steel City Heavy Hitters Car club. My v6 beats most cars around and it looks cool. Ballen on a budget lol. Nice review.
Have a camaro rs shit tapout at 149 I think the dealership has a speed limit on my car but DAMN it does get up their quick!!😬😳
Are the 2016-2017 reliable? I want one as a daily cruiser.
They can be if purchased with low miles , but i would recommend getting a 2018 model , I got a 2017 off a dealership 2 weeks ago just to find out the torque converter was already going out at 80k miles , I did my research and alot of people were saying the 2016-17 models torque converter or transmission tends to fail. I just ordered a 2018 today with 18k miles I cant wait to get it
@@p.r.i.n.c.e.r.o.j.a.s ok bet thank you
i got my 2018 rs v6 camaro, and i would’ve love to own a v8, but i know that v8 engine was not meant for me, i don’t want to be in the gas pump 4 times a week, v6 was waiting for me on the other side of the dealership, and i love the v6, always br great full for what you have
Make your own choices about what kind of car did you get having a V8 doesn't mean everything A lot of dumbass people out there
Love it simple and on point

I was looking at all three. Mustang, Camaro, Challenger. This was at the beginning of 2020. I watched prices slowly drop over the year. Covid had businesses closed so I new that would affect prices. By November 2020 it was time to decide. It could have been any one of them however, there was a Mustang MCA black leather interior with chrome, manual 6 speed, 64k miles, that won out. It’s white with a black factory stripe and the wheels are factory dark gray. I paid 12.9 at a BMW dealership for it. It edged out the others having that 68 fastback look that a neighbor had back in the 70s when I was a little kid. But really, I would have bought the Camaro or the Challenger too. I love all three. We are really lucky there was a muscle car revival (retro-futurism) I’m totally happy with my V6 cyclone with 305hp. Before this I had a 92’ Celica GT. 134hp. No issues with the Ford engine yet. I did have to replace the A/C compressor but that’s it. Regular oil changes of course. Just got back from a 2.5k road trip. I’m super happy with the cheap pony fun. 🎉 PPS: it got about 28.5 mpg on the road trip.
Buddys a butter cup who daily drives a mazda probly lol
😂 let me find my can opener I will try to get you out of there😢 LOL
Blind spots dont exists if you know how to use set up side mirrors properly.
😲😲😲😲😲😲
Bumblebee
Currently have a v6 charger but really think I want to trade for the Camaro 🤔
Much more fun than the v6 charger based on my experience driving the 2
The back seat is for coats and snacks.
Love our 2021 RS V6 Wild Cherry. Regular gas, way enough performance unless you want to hit the track and even then with the 1LE it demolished so many other vehicles times and set the record 8 full seconds faster than it's nearest competitor at the lightning lap.. need better blind spot visibility then don't buy one or learn to drive properly. Need more trunk space then you are looking at the wrong category of vehicle. Plastic interior ???? Which car isn't ??? We have enough room for the 2 of us and 2 Border Collies in the back seat and enough luggage space for everything we need to go to our lake retreat.
That hood is ugly the 2010 models are the best looking
I agree with that
I never comment!..but you guys are not good at this!..my opinion!..
This is great! Appreciate being able to break your comment bubble.
I love my 2018 2 lt RS/V^ was an excellent choice still love it as if it was new !!
They should’ve added turbocharged
I'm driving a 2014 Camaro 3.6 with cold air intake and Dragon chip tune. (6 speed manual) i have just as much fun in this thing as my buddy with an SS. I've driven his and zero to 60 it's hard to even tell what you're driving. The v8s have a hell of a lot more pedal above 70/80mph but like he says in the video the v6 camaro checks the right boxes but lacks the v8 h.p. you just gotta buy what suits your needs. I drive mine daily so fuel was the deciding factor for me. Also i seen a clutch video on RUclips where the guy shows 380,000 miles on a v6 camaro. I just love what Chevrolet did with these gen 5 & 6 cars. Except gen 6 interior. Lol that shit looks like a child drew it up. Idk
I'd love to drive one of the newer 4cyl turbo ones with the 1le track pack on them
I own a 2018 Chevrolet Camaro RS. I love this vehicle. The vehicle is fantastic performance and comfort is amazing. Unlike the Chevrolet Camaro SS. The Chevrolet Camaro SS makes an extremely unnecessary loud noise. All that is for people that want to be noticed. I think that the RS is for people that are more conservative. But still want the power and performance. Also the RS I think is for people that are more financially conscious. Do you really need 445 horsepower? Unless you live in Arizona where you can really use that amount of horsepower.? And not being afraid of killing yourself? 335 horsepower it's enough for me.
Nice write up Johnny thanks for watching and sharing.
I totally agree my friend. Well spoken.
But a challenger is a muscle car 💁🏾♂️
Indeed it is.
Well, your hatred for this car is well noted. But this powertrain (335 horsepower) can outrun the Hemi 5.7 375 horsepower and I find that laughable.
@@robertjakicic5878 Hemi is a bit over weight that's for sure.
I've been a Mustang fan pretty much all my life, but a Camaro fan since about a year ago. I have spent the last antagonizing over the Camaro, I placed a deposit on an RS and will be picking it up next week. Why? It's all about handling for me, and the Camaro beats Mustang and Challenger easily in that catagory. My reason for picking V6 over V8 is all about practicality. Unless you're driving it on the track, the V8 is just dead weight. A V8 costs $10k more, you'll burn an extra 5-10 mpg, and about an extra $100 per month for insurance. And for what? Bragging rights? I believe the V6 Camaro with manual transmission is the perfect car for those who want to take a break from reality and just have some fun driving along a curvy two lane highway. So for me, it's all about having fun while driving, not trying to win a race.
@@gop4usa12 that's an awesome explanation, best I've ever heard by far!! You enjoy that Camaro I know how high rated the new v6 manual is and how good it handels so you enjoy that thing man! Have fun with it sounds like a blast! Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed. Like and subscribe!!!
He's sounds like a hater
We are actually looking at trading the F-Type possibility for a camaro now
Those aren't to cool your breaks, it's to reduce drag
I'll take it. I want one. V8 in joe Biden,s america?, No thanks. Interior, better than mustang,s interior. Why am I a fan you ask? Driven one. I am sold. I appreciate your honest review,even though I disagree with you. Great video otherwise.
I actually just drove a 4 cyl convertible the other day. Was fun
To be fair the interior is pretty lackluster for the purpose of giving people the best performance for the money, when you go up to the 3LT, the interior is actually pretty nice
I do like the materials on like a zl1. But it is still poorly laid out
hell yes v6 still fun regular gas still get on her 🆗️... most v8 power you can't use in daily city traffic anymore.. red light cameras speed cameras etc . ✅
hi
Why hello there
i just purcashed a 2k16 Camaro RS LT2 with kilamari seats i luv it
What kind of exhaust does it have?
Stock
Optioned daul mode exhaust
Not everybody can afford an SS or higher trim
How 'bout a Focus RS? Yeah. This Camaro is a poser. 😂
haha. Well, your not wrong. The focus RS would be a better competitor to the S3 video we just put out. Did you watch that? I would drive a Focus RS all day over this.......
Man yal some haters
These guys are just ridiculous
I know we are
Been called worse.
Ya'll should've just made a video about the V8 because you guys keep compring it to it anyway lol
Shoulda woulda coulda
This would stomp your 5.7 challenger's ass no problem
Stop lying to yourself
Bringing the heat!
@@PerformanceOnWheels
Yeah
Hell yeah
This guy thinks it’s a luxury car lol
If you don’t like the car then don’t make a review about it🤦♂️Go review a v8
🤦♂️
Idk. Get over the dammm dashboard lol. For what a V8 cost and like ya said its sporty and handling s tight as a sportscar should be idk. I think I could appreciate it for what it is. If ya jus got to have a bigazz V8. Well then pay that ridiculous money for it. 😅😅🏁🏁
