2022 Camaro SS

[29aholic]

We have a 2011 V6 car we love. 6spd manual and you can get 20 40lb bags of stove pellets in it (my wife thinks it's a truck sometimes). It's red too.

Dang I do miss them, the 454 sounded so good, was 30 over w/pipes.
State bou- said nice car, just slow down, no ticket. LOL

Nice car, take care where you park it.

I've always liked the Camaro's and their Poncho counterpart, the Firebird. But the last time I priced one, the insurance was almost the price as if I were to buy a Vette. I bought another truck instead.

Nice looking ride!!

Concur.

Had a fathom green '69 Camaro, back-in-the-day. Love the pony cars!

I'm old now and don't believe I can squeeze into a pony car anymore. LOL

So...I bought a regular-cab, short-bed, aluminum body, Ford F150 with the Coyote V8. Put duel-exhaust on her and she rips!

About 400 hp and she weighs less than a Dodge Charger! Plus, I gots plenty of room!

These are amazing times!

Love your car. Mine's a 2015 Commemorative model SS. Fun cars, enjoy it.

I too have heard the rumor of Chevy discontinuing the Camaro for several years now. My salesman said that's all it is, a rumor.
I drove my first Camaro back in 1970 when my friend bought one and then lost his license. It was a Red 1968 RS with a 350 and a 4 speed. Only modification was traction bars. Did a fair share of racing on Woodward with it and I finally bought it from him after his father smashed it up. Put the drive train in another car and sold the rest of it.

Sorry, 2023 is the end of the Camaro, for the time being, at least.

A Camaro or a Corvette?
let me think about that..........

Having had both, the Camaro was the better car around town, and out on the open road. Easier to get in/out of, you're a bit higher up so you can see better in traffic. The Camaro was quieter out on the highway, though neither are "Lexus quiet". There's only so much you can do with the noise of four giant steamroller tires. Better ride in the Camaro as well.

If we're talking equivalent year and power level, the 'Vette probably has a slight edge on the racetrack, but most drivers aren't going to get that close to the limit. On a mountain road, either one will easily reach imprudent speeds long before getting anywhere near the limit.

And, IMHO, the 'Vette no longer has the 'cachet' that it once had. They're produced in huge numbers, and depreciate like a brick out a 3rd story window. The new C8 is an amazing car, but looks like a Hot Wheels toy. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to drive one, especially on the track...

I don't think we'll own either again, but if we did, it would probably be a '16-current SS 1LE Camaro.

Can you still get these with a manual transmission?

Yes, a 6 speed.

The thing I like least about the new Camaro's are the interior color choices - black, gray, or white. How about a nice tan?

 

[hemiram]

Tan? Yuck.

 

[jeffrefrig]

How much room does this Camaro have for the driver? Can a bigger guy fit comfortably? Your new one looks great. I love to "hear" them. Thanks.

I was sitting in one at the Chevy dealer a couple weeks ago. Plenty of room up front, but the back seat looks useless for human transport.

I rented an SS in 2019 for a weekend. At 6-1 and 215 pounds I felt cramped.

Back seat on the driver's side is utterly useless... if the driver is more than ~ 5'6", there's 2" or less between the front and rear seat for passenger legs. The front passenger can move forward and get a not large passenger in the rear behind them. But it's best for kids or short distances only.

I wish they made the roofs taller like the late 60s Camaro's. I'm 5-9 and I feel cramped in one plus a minor car wreck and your head hitting the ceiling is not a good thing.

 

[PeterJ]

As one of those guys who managed to make it through the 60's driving SS's a W-31 and a Hemi Plymouth, the yearning for a car like that Camaro of yours still lingers,,, kinda. But I know now that those cars have a lot more performance than I have talent. I'll just watch.

 

[Wrangler Rich]

Nice ride! Great color! All the performance one could ask for, what's not to like?
Congratulations!
Bow ties forever!

GM interiors are, ahem, not the best in any color. I speak as a former Firebird and Tahoe owner. Plastic fantastic springs to mind. Guy at work had one of those newer Camaros for a short while. It rode like a plank and the visibility for the driver rivaled that of a Tiger tank. Holy C-pillar blind spot, Batman.

For a real nasty recent interior the last model of Ford Explorer takes the cake. Guy I know had one as a company vehicle. The plastic was hard and ugly, half of it didn't line up, much of it squeaked, and several pieces regularly fell off.

 

[hemiram]

If GM wanted me, as a former Camaro and Firebird owner, to consider buying a Camaro in 2010 and 2018, when I bought my Challengers, this is what it needed:

1. Not to look like a Hot Wheels car.
2. Have a useful trunk.
3. Have a little more head room.
4. Make the greenhouse a little bigger (That would kill most of the "Hot Wheels" complaint, and the head room issues.)

And if they really wanted me to consider it, make it look like a '70-'74 Z-28 and I'm there. They messed up making a tribute to the first gen car, and then in 2016 doubled down on the ugly. Looks alone kept me away, but the other issues ended any chance of me buying one. The continued good sales of the Challenger have proven they nailed it pretty well.

Nice one Len, congrats.


Saw this one at the gym the other day.
