  • The Camaro is soon to be out of production but Chevrolet still has plenty of power to still offer. Under the hood is a 6.2L V8 churning out 455HP & mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. On the outside you will discover 20in wheels, hood heat extractor, and active exhaust. On the inside you will be greeted by leather seating and an 8in infotainment screen.

    So lucky i got my 2023 rapid blue 2SS shock and Steel edition. Especially for MSRP in NJ for $51k with sunroof and dual mode exhaust. Unfortunately it’s a 10 speed but those those insanely fast European super car shifts and pops in between are absolutely intoxicating to hear on a NA V8. đŸ€€

    Joe,
    My man coming with that Camaro đŸ”„ đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ’Ż!
    I appreciate your authenticity and love for this platform.
    As someone who’s ONLY owned Camaro’s my entire adult life, it’s a sad situation to see it go, but to think the Camaro could FINALLY be designed as a true/legitimate sports car is wonderful!
    Never thought I’d say that when I first drove a 82’ V6 with terrible/death trap suspension!😳
    Next, I’ve driven several super cars and exotics, and this platform with SS1LE track pack w/6-speed manual is amazingly competitive and shocking for the price!
    Keep the Camaro content coming!!
    Appreciate you, and the team..👌👏

    Just made me regret even more for selling my 2017 2ss Camaro convertible with the tremec manual and only 29k miles and I took an 8k loss selling it just because I didn't drive it enough. Now I need to get another one to park next to my new Silverado and my wife Chevy. I guess I might as well upgrade to the ZL1. I had full carbon fiber all inside my 2ss too

I have a modified 911 Turbo, but I really enjoy driving this car especially with the top down. The 6-speed convertible is something that needs to be experienced.

      It is, I own one! It's a great performance car, comfortable, cheap to run and it holds plenty of cargo. I sprang for the Wild Cherry Tintcoat paint and get compliments all the time from people who drive much more expensive cars. The only downside of the 4 cylinder is that it's rough right off the line, but once you're rolling the engine is smooth and fast with a subtle growl. And the 4 cylinder saves weight, which helps with handling and braking. I'm getting about 530 miles of range on highway trips.

I don't do a lot of local, around town driving because that job goes to my Jeep Wrangler. It would depend on how hard you drive it, but I may be getting 23 mpg around town.

      ​@@mrstinky2421EV's will never last as long as an ICE vehicle, not even against hybrids đŸ˜€. A massive power outage is one of those possibilities 😏

    Video does not capture the crackles and pops that the exhaust delivers . I have had a red eye wide body, and now have a 2ss convertible. The Camaro convertible is a lot more fun and enjoyable than the red eye.

    with mustang 24 here, Camaro sales will be down. everyone wants what's new, not same look.
    im not a ford fan but i be willing to buy the all new Mustang .
    camaro is still a sharp looking car but quality has dropped, maybe they did that to pay its workers over $40 an hr and up
