[Highlander]

Had mine for 7 years now
Wonderfully balanced car even stock
I've upgraded mine quite a bit
Supercharger
Coilovers
Wheels/tires
Car really delivers tremendous performance and drivetrain has held up no problem!

I don't care about the visibility!!!! This is by far the best Camaro ever I've whooped on Hellcats because I can keep the throttle open bending hard corners!! And that's in a convertible! This is most definitely a true

[justmycents_]

Man this thing look just plain sinister sitting still! Love this silver metallic paint even though I wouldn't have thought it would look this good! They need an IROC version with a Widebody kit & an exhaust rumble that'll scare wild animals deep in the forest!

[GregK]

In late 2021 used 2SS cars are going for over $40k

[Shallowballow]

Hurts to admit it as 5th gen owner and I love my 5th gen to death but these look good

[Stclairm]

Hey! I ran my 17 1SS there with the Porsche club a few months back. Love that place!

[jiminkrott]

Never paid much attention to the silver paint until this video. looks great, especially the rear quarter

[jpx]

i like mustangs, but guess what, i also like this camaro....but theres more, im even a fan of the challenger! what a concept! i like all cars. People loyal to just one car are idiots haha. Its so fun seeing them bicker in their respective forums. Grow up.

I've been a follower of motorweek for years, but one thing I've noticed is it seems with these reviewers all cars are great and there's hardly ever any criticism, so all cars are great, and nothing is ever wrong with any car. Please tell me not just the good, and start with the bad first, that way you can work your way up.

I didn't like the way it looked until I saw it in real life, then I realized how cool it looked and now I want one.

[zcamaro]

Looks amazing in silver. I hope I get my hands on a 1LE.

[scottkinderdine]

I like hearing that about the magnetic ride control since I didn't choose that option.

[zatharos]

Jesus. If the standard car can out run a BMW M4, then both the Z/28 and ZL1 will just be unstoppable

[coureurdebois]

its simply transcended the genre, its left the mustang and Challenger behind and is now going had to head with the M4, ATS V, and C63. with an interior better than the mustangs, better handling closer to the GT350 than the GT, and better acceleration than the SRT 392 Challenger.

[LoveBandit]

In my opinion:
Camaro SS wins: Engine (by a hair), styling, track performance
Mustang GT wins: Interior design, seating position, visibility

Both cars are really kick ass machines for the money, though. The real winner is the American muscle car buyer...

[slothin]

Still don't get the stamens that you can't see out of these vehicles. I see amazingly well. The long windows allow me to see everything next to me. I'm 6 1" though. I felt I couldn't see well out of the Mustang when I test drove it.

[KroniKKidZ]

The only glass I found hard to see out of was the rear windows. If you take the time to adjust the seat and mirrors correctly, you shouldn't have any problem seeing over the dashboard. I'm 6'1 and my SS fits me like a glove. The journalists (I think it was C&D, maybe Motor Trend) whining about the HVAC  vents only cooling the shifter probably didn't take the time to realize those are adjustable too. People will have their opinions though, although in this day and age, some people just tend to more and more share other people's opinions without any first hand experience

[nigel_white]

I never thought I'd want to own an American car, let along a Chevy Camaro, but the all-around performance and sophistication for the price is unbeatable.

The so called poor visibility is completely blown out of proportion. Adjust your seat and mirrors properly and you can clearly see what's going on around you. I had no issues driving one of these on the highway and in the city. If you want a panoramic view of the world to go sightseeing, then buy an RV.

Best looking revamped Camero of the 2000s

[Arturo]

The silver looks so cold and futuristic. I'll have two, please.
