Beautiful car. Super fun to drive. But, if you're doing to rent or buy something like this, I think you should spend a few more dollars and upgrade to the SS with a V8. Trust me, it's worth it.

Safety wise I'm not super happy with this one. It's difficult to drive this car because of the small front windshield and sideview mirrors. It's not impossible to drive, but it does take some getting used to. Honestly, a car like this needs blind side detection standard; however, it's an additional $2,800.

This just proves that the feeling of speed is more than the actual motion. The charger rt 5.7 you said felt faster, and you thought it should because it had a v8. The numbers say a v6 camaro 0 to 60 is 5.1sec with automatic vs charger rt 0 to 60 is 6.4sec. It's still hard for people to associate V6 with power.

One of the best review videos for this car that I've seen. Everything seems to be the 1LE, SS or ZL1 and I can't afford any of those

I rented a 2017 Camaro v6 a month ago. I hit 138 mph and it was still pulling. GM has my respect with that car.

This is actually a 1LT with the RS package. The RS package is $2, 000 and just adds stuff on the outside. Like those upgraded rims. I rented a 2017 Chevy Cruze LT with the RS package recently.

2017 50th Anniversary 2LT RS v6. My Camaro is awesome. The only complaint I have is a check engine light is on and I have to see what that is all about. Other than that, a hot car.

I’m glad you touched on the visibility aspect, I found the same thing when tested one! A lot of reviews don’t touch on that, great video!

[ponchoman]

The Charger's trunk is not really very big considering the large size of the car. This V6 is plenty quick enough for the majority of drivers at 5 seconds to 60.

Chevrolet has changed for the better with their newer models, so much more quality than before, the camaro is absolutely stunning. Happy you got something to make up for the mirage! I got my car on Thursday, no full size so I got a 2017 Chevy Equinox, I like it a lot! Over 600 miles so far and I don’t really want to give it back, glad to see that Chevy has given all of their cars likeability!

[Cheedee]

Your videos are dope !! I’ve watched every single one them ! Hope you don’t stop after 100 !

0-60 times for the v6 Camaro and the v8 charger is the

I have a 2017 RS and the gages, instrument panel, infotainment center, environmental controls look nothing like what you're driving. Must be difference in option packages. Performance wise, I would guess your rental version is governed/controlled in some way. Try accelerating in touring mode and switch to Sport mode. If you can't immediately tell the difference then the computer must be hamstrung for rental purposes. I bought this hot little number for my very reserved, conservative driving wife. Obviously she doesn't need a SS. The 0-60 difference between the SS and the RS is 1 second. They also have adaptive driving learning. If the majority of driving is conservative it won't know what to do when you romp on it. If you push the pedal to the floor, I guarantee you it will MOVE and g-force you back in your seat. If you're renting a Camaro you likely have no need or justification for the SS upgrade...unless you just want to play. It all bottom lines in what you want but our RS gives Big Bang for our $$$.

I hate the stock dash for the Camaro. I think it’s the technology & connivence pack that has the nice looking dash.

[TURBOTRANSAM]

Very helpful as I’m hoping to move for a Camaro early 1st quarter of next year, hopefully a 2016, 2017 v6 all depending on price of course.

Very much identical (aside from my rental being yellow with a gray interior) to the one I had a few weeks ago in Indianapolis. It has an MSRP of around $32k. I loved the car, but visibility was a concern as compared to the Mustang I rented and drove last year. It is a beautiful and powerful car, though. I got it for under $200 for 3 days, because September is an "Off-Peak" time for rental car companies. Sound system could've been better, too, but it's still a nice, comfortable, powerful car! If you want to read my review of it, let me know, I can send it to you. :)

When I bought my 2019 I nearly sent it back because of the visibility. It takes some getting used to and these cars are not for everybody. I kept and absolutely love mine enough for it to be my daily. I would not have kept it if I didnt have a 2nd car though.

[chickenmuffin]

You couldn't tell the difference between sport and snow and ice mode.... you can't be serious.

Sport shifts at higher revs also and has a bit different exhaust sound.

[jonathandiaz]

Would you prefer this one or the challenger?

[furysquad]

the hemi charger ur talking about isn’t faster then the rd camaro lol

[paulnadratowski]

The visibility is a problem. My nephew had one, car came up on him on West Street in Manhattan.... he didn’t even see it. Bam.... right side destroyed.

[johnspence]

I would rather save fuel and keep the six cylinder. A nice supercharger to that v6 will embarrass the ss. Nice car.
