One of the big problems that I have with turbo 4 cylinder Camaros and Mustangs is the horrible exhaust note. Both of those cars sound like angry leaf blowers when accelerating.
In Ford's case in particular, they charged more for the 4 than the 6...they should have put a few bucks towards a better exhaust system.
yeah the only way I like the exhaust is when its a full straight pipe on these cars. or else it sounds like a vacuum cleaner lol
Fords v6 isnt a terrible motor but its old and super cheap prob around $500 whereas the ecoboost costs several grand to replace. Its that simple.
we have borlas and magnaflows for that
@@TheCoolestCourier Bro no straight piping is what makes them sound horrible
I'm pretty spoiled with motorcycle exhausts nowadays, I haven't owned a sporty car in a while but even though it's been a few years I still enjoy a straight piped turbo car even if it's a 4-cylinder. It is loud and obnoxious but most people's are not a full cat delete so it's refreshing to hear when it is. Usually it's a GTI or something like that when I see one pass by.
If only they knew how fun the turbo is to drive because it handles like a six figure sports car
it really does with the right tires!
If only you knew how an ss 1le handles you wouldn’t even think of buying a 4cyl just saying !
@sneef Exactly. The conversation should really be between the 2.0T and Stringray Corvette. It is very obvious the v8 camaro is meant to go in a straight line. The 1LE package helps, but not nearly enough. The 4 cyl is handling focused just like the corvette, not like the bigger camaro.
@@TheCoolestCourier what tires should I get I just got the 4cylinder with the turbo?
Yeah ok 😂 it’s literally a Malibu engine
I will admit a 400 pound fat man will slow you down sitting passenger I can verify that is true!
Haha nice
😂😂
I have a 4 cylinder Chevy camarro and I’m 18 years old still in school and it’s turbocharged and it’s preety fast. Goes 100mph like it’s nothin.
Yeah it has a lot of torque in 5th for freeway passes
@Arrma Army RC Dump truck has more storage space, more torque, better visibility, and longer lasting tires. You can get so many bitches in the back. You should drive one, they pretty coo fam.
@DM Master Designs I’m 17 and I have a 94’ Z28 with a ton of mods that would walk ya both. 8 cylinder is better than a 6 dude. I will gladly send pictures if you don’t believe me, but I didn’t post in on my chanel. No need to get offended because the kid is starting off with something you had to work for, everyone is dealt different cards in life. It’s all about how you live and the choices you make that will determine your success.
@DM Master Designs not everyone posts videos 🤡
Buying a V8 Camaro is only for those with deep pockets.
I bought a 2011 V6 Camaro and was never disappointed. Cheaper on gas, insurance, and got the performance I needed.
Same. I have a Lexus ES300 V6 currently and it's plenty for a comfortable daily driver. I get my thrills from motorcycles instead of sports cars nowadays.
@@arcticblue2ss471 thats a little difficult to believe to be honest... State farm quoted me about $280 more every 6 months for the V8.
@@arcticblue2ss471 thats the diff, USAA probably better than most
@@midnyte_tv I’m 20 years of age and I use geico and I only pay 250 a month for my 2017 v8 challenger. It’s a myth you pay a lot for insurance. Dont use shitty insurance companies and you will pay less.
I still drive my ‘12 v6 camaro at 200k miles. Been a Very reliable car for me
I too had the issue with the exhaust and 4 cylinders light but get over the exhaust note and get with the handling and performance. I love the 2.0 and the more I’ve gotten to know it the more I love it. To be sure though I’ll probably buy the 8 but won’t give up the 4.
as a 327 pound giant fat man that just bought a 2021 2.0 4 cylinder...... i'd be willing to test his theory with any homies that have the ss version, let me sit in your passenger seat while you drag race against my 2.0 4 cylinder lmao
I have a 2.0 camaro but v8 would be cool and all tho
Yeah. Might be more reliable as well honestly
Lmao his example with the fat guy had me dying
The better deals are always going to be on the 2.0 & V6 Camaro's because that's what keeping the camaro alive. As with any car as you know a brand new SS starts out at $45,000 and believe me after one year you could see a 10,000 or more depreciation hit on the SS just take a look the price of a use 2018 or 2017 SS there at least $10,000 or more under there sticker and barely a little over year or two old. And' hence',upside down on your car loan.
I have a 23' new V6 Camaro. I wonder how many V8 guys actually bought one new. The way some of these guys drive, the engine must be worn after a few owners.
Dude you gotta go used. I got a 2017 1ss with 13k miles for $26,400. Practically still new with warranty. Meanwhile brand new 2018 v6s are going for more. The depreciation is crazy.
The Fitness Life yeah it's safe to say I'm keeping this car, the value is probably hilarious at this point, it currently has 77,000 miles
The Fitness Life bro I just found a loaded 2016 ss for 30k 28k miles is that a good deal ?
CurlyBoii Ty ehhhhhhhhh. I got a 2018 camaro rs for 28k with 2k miles. I guess it depends on the individual. It is a v8 though.
JC I didn’t get it I got a brand new 2019 charger sxt blacktop for 21k 12 miles
My 2016 Camaro was just under $14k with 27,000 miles. I went in hoping for an SS but thats a large gap.
When I drive my 2.0t, the thought occurs to me that GM designed the car for the engine and vice versa.
it was the v6 actually ! the 4 cil was to pull some sales to budget buyers..
I am looking fwd to building out a new 1LT with the 1LE pkg. And yes I will go for the turbo. Not just because I want to own a turbo but because of the weight savings. Together with the 1LE ‘track’ pkg it is really a well thought out pkg. I don’t care about HP numbers. Been there done that in my youth (LX 5.0 in ‘94 11.7 at 124...emissions legal and quiet). I already own a ‘14 Challenger 100th Anniv which I added H&R lowering springs. She’s a big girl even with the six. My ‘04 Monte Carlo SS also rides on a lowered suspension. But the Camaro turbo and 1LE sounds like a match made in heaven. Yeah I was a v8 guy from the 80’s (‘84 Monte SS w/nos) etc. For all those saying go v8....I can only say with age comes wisdom. Go check out the v6 1LE vs the I4 Turbo 1LE at the lightning lap testing. The turbo was one second behind the higher powered v6. Good video. You hit the nail on the head with the weight savings.
Thanks, the only drawback is these motors are very unreliable, I wouldn't mess with a stock power and I would only own it under warranty but other than that the handling is absolutely the best
how'd that go?
You gotta go used lol you could get a full blown 5th gen 2SS for the price of a turbo or v6 now a days and double the power at least that's what I did, it's the smart thing to do
that's exactly right
To each their own : For under $20k my used 2016 Camaro had far more bells and whistles with massively less miles than any used SS i could find in my entire state. At the end of the day I went with a turbo 4 cylinder.
Craig R got my 2010 ls3 for under 20k also, fully loaded 2SS.
@@jasonreyna7615 2010 tho lol shits bouta be 11 years old in 2 months lol rather get a 4 banger turbo 2019 or 20 brand new that 2010 engine gunna be having a shit load of issues soon if it hasnt already and u prolly got it with atleast 50k miles on it not smart at all
@@sloth7778 i have a 2010, no issues
owning a camaro in germany is something special i tell you. I own a 2.0 turbo camaro and i get all the looks even tho its not a v8 i get compliments everywhere and met lots of new people around. Now i know the turbo is nor the fastest car on the road but with gas prices going up up up and only up i figured the 2.0 is good and fast enough for daily driving and the v8 is something i honestly cant afford (16k up price in germany if you want a clean one) sadly. now with the zzp remote tune on the way to me it gets even faster which will be a great thing. Bummer you had so many problems with your camaro, i own a 2019 model pre facelift and had zero issues so far. GM ironed out a few problems tho so thats nice
That's good. I'm glad you're enjoying it. It's a very nice car
the turbo requires premium gas tho lol the v6 needs regular.
If your trying to save money on gas nothing beats a motorcycle
@@jaypark5638 The v6 isnt an option in germany except if you want to buy a BADLY repaired total loss vehicle imported to germany. In germany the official cars offered by chevrolet where the 2.0 turbo and the v8
Same station here in Sweden.
Yeah I got my RS package with 10k miles on it for 22k... The price on it was 26k. That's a no brainer
Manjot Singh Toor awesome!
The Coolest Courier hey quick question (not regarding the video) have you ever thought about supercharging your Camaro? Cuz theoretically that should be possible and then it can be a twin charged Camaro
Manjot Singh Toor hell yeah Ive thought about it. I would love to do that one day, I would just need someone very experienced in Twin charging to do it for me and obviously I'd have to have the money to do that. I bet it would change the feel to more like a turbo V6
Reading the comments i see many people that are not really understanding the concept of why someone would choose the turbo 4 engine over the V6/V8 engines....1st and foremost having the most powerful engine is NOT the most important factor in a performance sport coupe/muscle car...
2nd...ALL current available camaro engines provide great performance, don't matter if it's the turbo or the V6 or the V8 All 3 engines have their Pros and Cons and are designed to satisfy 3 different customers....
AND YES I KNOW AND AGREE THAT ANY OLD OR NEW MUSCLE CAR FEELS AND SOUNDS THE BEST WHEN PAIRED TO A V8... However a camaro with the turbo 4 should not be considered a bad choice or something to be embarrassed about...in fact a turbo 4 Camaro gains some handling performance benefits over the bigger engines...the top reasons customers should go for the turbo 4 is the much better MPG, the lower price and the lower insurance premiums.....Only 2 Drawbacks....you give up alot of power when compared to the V8 but more sad is you give up the Iconic and Seductive Muscle car V8 sound and it's mighty Exhaust Rumble that gets your panties wet.
But when money is tight and insurance premiums are high yet you require your daily performance fix, you can rest assured the turbo 4 Camaro will give you a fast performance ride along with great nimble handling that allows the driver to really use every last ounce of power allowing the driver feel more confident in pushing thier Camaro to the limit.
I've had three turbo vehicles . Maintain it and enjoy. Oil dilution is a real problem . I always changed my oil every 4000 miles with High Quality synthetic oil. Over all Non turbo engines less maintenance over time. . I really like the New honda civic R model myself.
That's the downside to the SS. That's why you have brand new 2018 SS models still sitting on the lots well into 2019. Smh.
send them to Germany. Because of EU Chevrolet stopped selling the Camaros here. I want one but the Market is empty or full with doubtful Imports
Raw commenting you got yourself a subscriber!!😎
I appreciate it!
Remember the 2.0 is actually a sister to the Cadillac ATS. Chevy adopted the Caddy chassis and brought the 2.0 turbo along with it and this chassis is excellent. I own a 19 crush orange 2LT RS with a sunroof, tech package, heated and ventilated leather seats and dual climate. All that with the added looks of the RS package makes a sweet ride. It's a very quick, not drag race fast car that impresses everybody. Essentially it's a 2SS but with the 2.0 I4 instead of the V8. I added my own touches to it as well and the best part is I daily drive 40km a day to work and back and even with premium 91 fuel I'm putting $50 every week and a half and this is now 2024 so gas is not cheap. Try and get that mileage in an SS or ZL1.
Yeah I went with the V8.
Good, it is the better car. Probably more reliable as well
The only reason the 2.0 turbo exists in the camaro is because the 2.0t has been around for almost 2 decades now and is a pretty strong performer. When it comes to a camaro though, my only thoughts are v8, unless I need a car to not rack up miles on it then I’d get the 4 cylinder
Yeah I agree
The main benefit is that most of the weight savings is off the front of a nose heavy car.
Exactly
i bought a 2018 maroon 4 cylinder turbo and love it
Nice!
I have a 08 Solstice GXP 2.0 it’s a lighter car and running E85 bigger cam, turbo 30 psi no cat methane injection hp tuned pushing 390 hp at the wheels it’s a rocket and it handles amazing..... I was looking for a new 2019 2SS I ended up getting a 2018 3.6 2LT RS I love it it’s loaded 15 grand price difference from the 2SS, the RS had a sticker price at 41900 I got it for 33 grand and zero percent financing and it’s quick enough the insurance is cheaper and I still have the Solstice that runs under 4 second 0 to 60 times closer to 3.5 its a sleeper people don’t expect it to be as fast as it is but I bought it on a savage title for 9 grand with 30k miles on it in 2011 and sent it to Chicago to Performance autowerks and put 6 grand into it. I got the Camaro a month ago I get a lot of compliments I always say it’s only a V6 I like it and really isn’t that all that matters. It’s the same color as yours.
That's awesome man, I'm glad you like it
I have a Malibu i4 turbo and with the right mods and tuning it can compete with any of the big boys out there especially the heavy Dodge sedans. moving to a high flow cat and redoing the complete exhaust you can tune the note to sound however you want even a deep V8 rumble sound.
Nice
I aiming for the 2.0 as well. I'm hoping to walk out the other way around 😆 🤣 😂.... I just love the design of the camaro. I already got couple speeding ticket with my promaster van. So I don't think this car will be ideal for me lol.... But you know what I still have my licence....
Me i like my 2.0 too, its good on mileage, i use it as daily! And its good!
Good to hear!
I brought my daughter a new 2023 camaro 4 cylinder turbocharger for her sixteenth birthday and she loves it and so do I. She said it is the start of a up and coming collection of muscle cars for her to come in the future.
Hey there yeah a 400 pounds FAT MAN will have to to look at Challenger s 😂 lol. Also if you're young the insurance on a V 8 high performance sports car is gonna be pretty pricey 😬 lol.
MVT *cough cough*. Yeah its another little chunk a month more if you go for an SS. Its not too bad though.
@STREET SHARKS BEDFORD POINT thank you!
I've checked insurance on 4cyl and v8s and let me be honest it's like 2 hundred different a year
The start of the video with that flyby had me dying it came out of no were
Haha yep
I got mine out the door with 11k off the price tag:)
Tolman Roman Hell yeah. That's a deal
Tolman Roman Woah woah wtf so what was the overall price
Good points👌 Toyota proved this with their 4cyl beams supra.
What you think is better a Chevy camero 4 cylinder or a Teslamodel 3 ?? What would you buy ?
Tesla model 3 by a longshot. Quicker and more reliable. I had many issues with my camaro. But I also tuned it.
I'm in real estate and drive a lot... is that a good enough reason?
2022 base i4 camaro 45k miles or 2012 2ss 46k miles I having trouble choosing but I like them both money isn't an issue it's just I want one daily
I would say get a 2016 to 2018. Fully loaded. I think the nicest used car right now is a 2020 mazda 3 premium if I'm honest
I have the 2016 RS 2.0T 2LT and it’s gorgeous
Awesome!
Bro what mods have you done to this thing it doesn't sound at all stock also what you making at the wheels after mods ???
What exhaust is on ur car?
When I had this car I did a muffler delete at first and then after a while I just went full straight pipe with a catless downpipe from zzp
This guy got straight up played at the dealership lmao
Anyone who walks into a dealership buying new is pretty much getting played. I drive an 03 Lexus ES as a daily and ride a xsr700 and xt250 for fun. All three of my vehicles put together still do not cost as much as that Camaro did. It was dumb
2.0 RULES
Lotus equation. Less weight equals free horsepower.
haha nice way to look at it
V8 Engines life expectancy is about 4 times of a 4 banger furthermore it helps a car maintain its values. Four Cylinder Cars ends up as throwaways or less sort after cars in its antique years, at least in the USA. No matter how I’ve tried It’s very difficult for me to adapt to engines that mimics the sound of my Yard Machine in Rabbit idle.
Your exactly right
yeah but v8s are bad for carbon emissions and aren't fuel efficient. europe is leading the race in this and its filtering into the US everyday. also the next generation sees the v8 engine as a novelty. times up for v8s. i love them but the idea is lightweight and nimble engines, with big power. volvo is the prime example of this. their polestar engine has two electric engines, twincharged, with an inline 4. thats the future replacement for big power v8s. and insane stealership prices for maintenance.
recently had a bone stock show condition 67 (mayvbe a 68?) Camaro straight 6 3 on the tree all original camaro come through my family's dealership, we had 17,500 in it, sold it for 25k. i'd say it held it's resale value fairly well
Or when the four fails just ls swap it
lol should have got the v6 at least as your turbo lags and overheating in summer is heartbreaking.. I race my mates in summer ! they have to pull over and cool down lol woops
I've never had that happen but I imagine it does heat up quite a bit more than the V6
The Camaro 2.0 is GM’s way of picking up where the Genesis Coupe 2.0 left off.
Yeah it is kind of like that
The 3.6L V6 was awesome.
Yeah I liked the way it sounded when I drove it
@@TheCoolestCourier I had a 2020 Camaro with that engine. Excellent engine for it being a v6. Kinda regret getting rid of it. But you can do more with a truck. lol
Goodshit bro
Thanks. Check out my newer videos. Plenty of motorcycle reviews
I have a 2019 4 cyl turbo Camaro. Does it NEED premium gas?
Yes
which one accelerates faster, a v8 or a turbo i4
V8 is way faster
It's because you didn't have the credit.
should have went for the V8 bro
yep, I like my camaro's power after the engine rebuild and bolt ons and tune but I think the V8 would have been more reliable
It's a 40 000 bucks diference bro
@@jad6342 Um no it's not. You can get a v8 camaro for under 35k brand new. Wtf are you talking about?

Tell it to the I8 BMW owner I left behind trying to front lol
The i8 is a friggen 3cyl! 🤣
This Camaro definitely djents!
It did indeed!
You do understand that even though you get the wait difference of 300 compared to the V8, you still low by 180 horse power and Trq.. I understand you are lighter, but that wont make a difference when the other car makes x2 more power and torque with a big time difference in 0-60, quartermile, and even track time. No competition. More top speed etc.. if you upgrade components to beat a v6 and v8 camaro, you would be spending more or same if you you would've just bought a SS
Only upside is you save gas. That's pretty much it
I was just saying that you can feel the difference in the handling. Going into corners feels better in a lighter car. you are right about the overall speed on paper, it would cost too much to replicate the lap time of an SS 1LE but when you add a downpipe and a tune for $800 you get 400 lb ft of torque out of the 2 liter which gives you that great shove out of corners just like the SS.
What i'm saying is with a tune the fun factor in canyon driving is identical especially at altitude because the turbo motor hardly loses power compared to the NA V8.
Don't get me wrong though I would recommend the V8 to most people for the sound alone though.
I think the V6 is a nice performance balance of the 3 engines. It sounds to me, as good as the SS when its reved up...lol
yeah it does sound better
No it doesn’t ! Stop bull shitting

Its not a camaro if it doesnt have a v8. Literally everything can smoke you in a race.
Dude that car was so damn fast. Do you not know how the word literally works? In all the races I did it only lost slightly to a Mustang GT. Check out the compliation video.
The car was making over 300 to the wheels. I got rid of the Camaro and now I drive an Acura Integra which is only making around 150 hp and I'm still taking people to Gapital mortgage every day.
Jimmy Brooks i mean MAYBE? If everything you've been racing is alot heavier. Integras can be cool but with the around 150 its at i kind of doubt that unless youre racing turd slow honda's with fart cans 😂
Not going to lie that was usually the case haha, and with the Integra I just mean normal cars, like when I'm getting onto the freeway and like some dude in the old v6 charger thinks he's going to beat me down the ramp lol
Jimmy Brooks ahh i see true true 😂
@@TheCoolestCourier the old v6 chargers has more horsepower than that 4 cylinder camaro or mustang lmao. All 4 cylinder muscle cars are shut dude cmon
I bet these will be worth alot of money later on bc everyone gets a v8
Maybe a luxury spec interior manual like mine was. But for the most part that's not true actually. While the majority of CZcamsrs get a V8. The vast majority sold are the four cylinders with second place going to the V6. An SS or ZL1 is actually decently rare on the road
Instead of buying a new v6 or 4 cylinder camaro, get a lightly used SS. Then turbo it. That's what I did. $14200 2010 camaro ss/rs with 69k miles. Used turbo kit $1800. Used zl1 fuel pump with 1200 fic injectors $500, eboost2 boost controller $300 dyno tuning $450. Smiles for miles priceless.
Nice. I sold it a year ago and got into motorcycles and dirt bikes. Best bang for the buck thrills and speed I've found!
As he's going through the video, he's slowly realizing his mistake😂😂😂
Realized it a few months after this. Sold it. Financially the best move is to have something like a 2004 Camry for a daily and then like a weekend Miata or small Honda. Or if you want affordable speed like I did more people should consider getting into bikes. I got my license a few months ago and haven't looked back since. Beginner-ish bikes do 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds

Too expensive and unreliable
Right. Poor guy.

Nah bro......😑
1. Be a small person and you may love this.
I don't know, those seats are pretty roomy
POV: you bought a 4cyl camaro instead of a v8, And now you are trying to convince yourself.
By the way, everything is different even suspension, and no offence but brakes are shitty on these 4cyl Camaros
I liked that car while I had it. It was very nice as a car but I was in full denial thinking it was as fun as an SS. Ended up selling it and getting out of sports cars completely and getting into motorcycles. I can never see myself going back you just get too much bang for your buck with bikes. Currently own a 2022 Yamaha XSR900. 0 to 100 mph in 5 seconds for under 10 grand :)
If only I could fit a four hundred pound fat man in my 4 cyclinder Honda Civic
My only gripe with this car is, they don’t give you a spear tire and a Jack! A can of foam, just doesn’t do it for me!👎
Yeah most sporty cars don't come with a spare tire anymore so the weight looks better on a specs sheet
@@TheCoolestCourier yes, but it’s better than hoofing it to the next gas station in the middle of the desert. So I’m going to mount one.😃👍
Ecoboost....
yeah at least ford offers tunes with warranties
P.s. I can tell you having had a 2.0 Camaro it was uncomfortable as shit and my now stock 5.0 Mustang is like night and day faster.
I mean you can make anything fast with the right time and money to be fair but out of the box the v8 smokes the 2.0. And handling isn't an issue on the road you aren't doing hot laps on your Sunday morning drives. Plus. When you add mods to a v8 the power difference is phenomenal.
2.0 you struggle just to catch up with the numbers of the v8 and the weight savings don't make up the difference.
You are absolutely right. It was a nice car but a horrible value for performance. I was lucky to find a buyer for the car. After that I paid off everything and swore off debt in general. I saved up and bought a couple motorcycles in cash and I couldn't be happier now. Yamaha xsr 700 and Yamaha xt250. I just use a beater Nissan Versa for my job now and in my off time I finally have something (the street bike) that is thrilling and scares me in the same way an ariel atom would and with the dual sport I'm amazed on how much dirt and trails you can conquer with a $3,000 bike. off-roading is so much fun!
🤦🏻♂️
Braedon H what issue do you have with what I said? Let's have a conversation instead of using emojis.
To each his own I suppose, however I would never buy an American muscle car with anything other than the V8 that is offered in them. That's like buying a house that offers four bedrooms, but you settle for the same house that only has two rooms available in it. My opinion of course..
I still think it's a valid sports car with its pros and cons but I agree the better car is absolutely the V8, the instant response and sound to something you can't get with the turbo
Just say your card got declined
The scary thing is. if I would have tried to purchase an SS my credit was good enough to where I would have easily been approved when in reality I couldn't even afford the 4-cylinder one I had.
I sold it 2 years ago, I paid cash for everything now. I ride sport bikes and dirt bikes for my fun exclusively now and just have a Lexus ES300 daily. Check out my newer videos.
@@TheCoolestCourier yeah credits are a slippery slope, what sport bike?
Yamaha XSR700, Honda CRF300L, and an Apollo Ghost E Scooter. Those are all my two wheeled items
I love the nicer camaros but it's not worth the extra money
I agree, mine was 8k off sticker so it was around the price of the base model
All i could understand that you took a shirty decision, V8 is a V8 you cannot change that, my friend has the v6 it sounds like a geass cutting machine compared to my V8 GRoWL and pure evil
Buying any Camaro was a bad decision. I couldn't afford that new of a car. Best decision I ever made was getting into motorcycles. That's all my channel is now. Check it out.
I keep my ss 1le over any 4 bagger turbo i want that torque and brast sound you all smoking crack i 4cyclinder get real
Haha agreed. I sold it a while back. I just ride sport bikes and dirt bikes now.
Just get a gti
Not a bad suggestion lol
2.0? That's soft af. V6 3.6>>>>>
V6 is soft compared to the SS. SS is soft compared to the ZL1. The ZL1 is soft compared to my sportbike. We can do this all day. But yeah I actually don't recommend the 2.0 Turbo Camaro, it wasn't very reliable for me.
@@TheCoolestCourier how wasnt it reliable?
That motor is at its limit in stock Form. I put a tune on it and it had misfires at 60000 Miles even with impeccable maintenance
i have a 2021 1lt, it smoked many v8 including mustang, as long as they are stock and around 2016 or under, you will be fine with the 2.0, just make sure turn it to sport mode and shift the shifter yourself, don't use automatic to race, and u will see a big different in a rolling race :), people who is saying 2.0 sucks are the most stupidest ppl ever.
V8 or why bother.
I agree nowadays. I ride sport bikes and dirt bikes for fun now and just have an old lexus as a daily
Camaro snob
47,000 miles for 17,000 is that a good deal? Its a v4
I4 technically. Yes that's decent just make sure you get it from one of the Chevrolet dealerships that offer 150000 mile warranties
4 cyl can be good, but will drive better if it’s not in a classic muscle car
Agreed. Old light Hondas are better for that
You are living in Dreamworld ?? 2.0 Camaro is just fine , but the 400 lb weight difference means nothing at all !! And SS will slaughter a 2.0 in the Twisties !! It's got far better suspension ( shocks and springs ) and if it has mag ride it's even better !! It also has much better brakes and tires !! Not to mention almost 200 more HP !! Your 400lbs is meaningless on a bone stock car , and you would have to throw thousands of dollars at a 2.0 just to bring it up to a base SS !!? The 2.0 was not built for performance! It's the absolute base model Camaro ! Resale will be awful ! And did you ever think to ask why the rebates are so big ?? Cause they can't sell these cars , nobody wants them !!!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
lightweight > power & better suspension 9 times out of ten. this is one of those times. You definitely don't know my camaro if you think its stock.
@@TheCoolestCourier I can care less about your Camaro ! And I said stock for stock the 2.0 garbage can't hang with any SS !!
@@sjcea0512 you're old, ignorant and mad.
I couldn’t buy one just cause of the sound
Understandable
.... it sounds like a fart can honda civic...
It did a little bit lol. Not my best purchase. I sold it and mainly ride sport bikes and dirt bikes now.
@@TheCoolestCourier ah. I was somewhat curious about all this v6 turbocharged/supercharged crap they were putting in muscle cars and trucks nowadays... from what I hear, they burn themselves out from excess wear.
They absolutely do. Naturally aspirated is the way to go. My 2003 Lexus ES is pretty much indestructible.
@@TheCoolestCourier lexus makes some good stuff.... just not my style. Looks too... eh... I'm not into fancy stuff. I find stuff that can go offroad to be more attractive. Their road performance, however, is undeniably good.
Because you couldn’t afford it stop lying bro you ain’t fooling anyone you wish you could have the highest trim stop lying to yourself and do better lmao
No joke I couldn't even afford this trim. I have the mindset now of if you can't pay cash for it you can't afford it. Other than a house. I sold this and got into motorcycles. So much more fun! Faster than any of these cars lol. Got my Yamaha xsr700 for the street and a Honda crf300l for the dirt :) I am doing better now a couple years later.
Cuz your broke lMaoooo
I sure was. Nowadays I just ride sport bikes and dirt bikes for fun and have a Lexus ES300 has a cheap reliable daily
You’re
Lame
It is. I don't own any sports cars anymore. Just sport bikes and dirt bikes. Much cheaper. More fun.
@@TheCoolestCourier Should’ve just got a WRX for a four-cylinder turbo experience. I own a 2017 SS and run about 11 lbs of boost , fast intake, throttle body, X piped borla exhaust with headers, hp tuned , stage 3 cam, roller rockers, stronger rods, brembo brakes with suspension lowered 2 inches on some fat meaty tires. she expensive, she chugs gas, shes loud and ignorant, absolutely. But the way she sounds when she opens up and man when that boost assists, blasting through 5th and 6th. I got every girlfriend since junior high school ,calling me wanting a ride. Worth every penny thats why i work , to burn gasoline. No electric cars for me. Haha 🥳 V8 ChevyPower 💪
Yeah that's why I got into bikes. My XSR is probably about as quick as that modified SS but my bike was $8,000 out the door lol
The bang for the buck with motorcycles is unbeatable. You just have to be very experienced and safe about it
