2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1SS 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
Sexy. Beautiful. Sick. Bad-ass. These are a few of the comments I have gotten from people that have seen me drive this truly amazing car. It is impractical, loud, gets poor gas mileage, and is a pain if you have more than one passenger, but none of that matters. The performance, agility, and pure excitement you get while driving makes none of that matter. I traded in a 2013 Camaro 2SS, … which I loved, for this 1SS 1LE, and every drive impresses me more. With 460 HP, Electronic Limited Slip Differential, Magnetic Ride Control, Active Rev Matching, Adjustable Dual Mode Exhaust, and 4 driving modes, this is the most technologically advanced car Chevrolet currently offers. It is a blast to drive and it will change how you feel about American cars. The Generation 6 Camaro is slightly smaller than the previous model. It is fast and nimble, handles very well, and the frame absorbs nearly all of the bumps and bashes that our fine roads dish out. There are so many amazing features this car has; Valet, teen driver, and stealth modes, the front camera and data recorder, 4G LTE hotspot, OnStar, Sirius XM Radio, The list goes on and on. All for a price that is tens of thousands less than other similarly equipped cars.

2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1SS 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
Hands down the best performance car I have driven, even compared to a Ferrai 458 Speciale. The only annoying part is the forced shift from 1st to 4th. I intended to only drive it on weekends, sticking to my Malibu for daily driving, but you only live once. The gas mileage can be impressive if driven properly on highway, and 18mpg city.
You will not find a better sports car pricewise

2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1SS 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
I have owned new Porsches, BMW's, Jaguars and this car runs right with them for 1/2 to 1/3 the money. Very well engineered, quality build, really fun to drive. Don't waste your money on a marquee import.
Update: I have the car going on two years and still love it!
Edmunds Summary Review of the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1SS Coupe

- Con:Limited trunk space with small opening
- Con:Some controls are awkward to use
Which Camaro does Edmunds recommend?
If you're looking to get a Camaro at its finest, we highly recommend opting for the 1LE package. With it, the Camaro's handling capability rises to such a degree that it rivals or surpasses even some of Europe's finest luxury sport coupes and convertibles. And unlike many such high-performance variants, a Camaro with the 1LE won't beat you up with a teeth-chattering ride. Final points: 1) There's no shame in getting the V6, which is plenty stout; 2) But you'll get the most out of your Camaro experience if it's got a boffo V8 under its hood.
Full Edmunds Review: 2017 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe
Driving
5.0A strong performer that blends speed with precision and enjoyment in a way previous Camaros never did. The SS V8 is stout, but even the LT's V6 is punchy. Handling feels more precise in the V6, but the V8 with its stickier tires exhibits higher limits. Impressive eight-speed automatic transmission.
Comfort
3.5The Camaro's ride quality is pretty comfy considering the Camaro's mission, and it gets better with the optional adaptive dampers. Most drivers will find comfort in the front seats, but some may find the the lower cushion odd. Don't bother with the backseat.
Interior
2.0It's improved over the outgoing car in layout and materials quality. But it still suffers from poor outward visibility and trades function and space for style. There are also some ergonomic foibles.
Utility
2.0The Camaro has a compromised trunk and minimal interior storage, and that limits its desirability as a daily driver. The Ford Mustang and especially Dodge Challenger are much easier to live with and use by comparison.
Technology
4.0The 2017 Camaro comes standard with a considerable amount of infotainment tech and can be outfitted with a variety of optional accident avoidance and visibility-aiding devices. Easy-to-use touchscreen interfaces as well. All told, best in segment.
