2023 Chevy Camaro SS 1LE Ownership Impressions

There is no better performance car for under $50k. For that money you get things that others charge extra for like magnetic ride, huge Brembo brakes, 20" forged wheels, active exhaust and Recaro seats. Option that in a 2024 Mustang and you are past $60k and you get a garbage MT82 transmission. I got a preowned 2022 SS 1LE with 3100 miles and the Tremec 6 speed for $50k out the door with a full ceramic coating. Best performance car I've ever owned and now that Camaro production has ended I feel lucky to have one.

Great review. Just picked up a 18 2ss 1LE with 5k miles on it. I got it with the brighter hyper blue metallic paint. Such a great car to drive around town and looks so damn good. Glad to get one before they go extinct

I picked up a new 23 SS 1LE in August. Absolutely love mine, sadly its put up for winter. I also drive that same stretch of I75!

I have one 2019 with 620hp NA . It's amazing how good these cars drive

Wow. Great video! I picked a new 2023 2SS 1LE also. Manual transmission. I love the car. Good luck

Congrats on the sweet new vehicle (the last of a dying breed). Excellent, well-done and comprehensive review 👍🏽

Enjoyed the review. I have the exact same set up, left it stock. Only thing I added was the tint, PPF on the entire front end & ceramic on the remainder. Save the manuals!

Excellent review and awesome car! I have a 2022 2SS and it’s what makes life worth living especially on a weekend

great video, I used to live in that neighborhood

Nice video. I should make a video on my '23 2SS. I opted against the 1LE because the brakes and tires are so expensive. For the track, the 1LE is probably awesome but my will be a street car!

Good video! For me, proper mirror, adjustment goes along way. Also because I lean my seat way back, I actually bought a seating pad that raises me 2 to 3 inches and improves visibility significantly.

I have the SS I could find during my search. A 2018 "Hot Red" one owner 1SS 6mt with 11k. Purchased this year in April. But you have the car I WANT! The Riverside Blue 2SS 1LE. That color. Those wheels, and that rear spoiler. I don't care if it is a 1LE but I very much do want the 1LE rims and spoiler. I would obviously want the 1LE if I could get it. Everything you said is correct. I ❤️ rev matching, the NPP exhaust is a must have, and mine has a sunroof...a nice touch and other than NPP is the only other major available option on a 1SS. I installed the front thick Lexan Splitter and rear Diffuser with LED lighting in the diffuser instead of reflectors. Also I put in Masimoto LED tailights w/sequential turn signals. Pioneer TS-WX1210A 12" sub to make up for the lack of the bose system...but I installed 2 Bose door speakers and applied the aluminum Bose badges. Now I notice that the stock stereo sounds pretty good; as adding my 350w rms sub and 2 Bose door speakers solved every problem. Legally, it is a now a Bose system😅! I had the calipers gone through & electrostatically painted "high temp red" OEM primer, paint, Brembo badging, and then 3 coats of clear applied professionally. That is all in preparation of the new 1LE OEM rims. But that isn't all. I had to get the red stitched knee pads, which along with the red seat belts make the interior pop as part of the "redline package". I had my windows tinted. With 30% on my rear window and 35% on the side windows I dont want VA inspection issues. The last 2 touches is the Lloyd's OEM custom floor mats, and the tinted plate covers with screw caps. 2 of them on the back. You can find both of my 6th gen cars, including my (traded in) Riverside Blue V6 and my current SS on Reddit. r/Camaro6gen Thanks for your show! Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 -camarochris

@JustCarPeopleThings what phone mount are you using there on the right of the center screen?

I saw a drag race between one of these and a dark horse and the camero won both times the dark horse was a stick and the camero was auto, not sure if that made the difference but all in all the Camero is a nice sports car 👍🏿

Every video I see just makes me want one more. I hope I can get a job decent enough to afford one before they're too hard to get a hold of.

You live somewhere near me in MI, I own pretty much the same car but in Rapid Blue.

This car owns the blue color

Wish my 2017 1LE burbled that much haha. Nice car man.

I got my 23 2SS convertible (also manual) and I love it. Didn’t get the 1 le because I will never go to the track plus a brake job cost a fortune with the 1 le. Enjoy the car, it was meant to be driven!

Enjoyed the review. I have the '23 2SS 1LE and enjoy it every time i am in it. And, after I park and glance back. What kind of phone holder are you using?!
