2024 Chevrolet Camaro Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Transmission junk
Bought a brand new 2023 1ss1le. 900 miles of easy driving the transmission started making a tapping sound anytime time the clutch was released. Brought the car to a dealer, come to find out three gears have teeth missing. Parts are on back order for months.

Muscle Cars Rule
As a women and a senior citizen I have had and now driven every Muscle Car. I have loved each one. My New Chevy Camaro is number 1 on my list. She is so much fun to drive. My only regret is I did not buy one sooner.

LEAVE THE REST AS ROAD SIDE KILL
I've previously owned three Corvettes and two Mustang GT models. Being a senior citizen, I have friends who back in the day owned big block muscle cars and I drove them' too. This vehicle would absolutely annihilate them in a drag race and leave them as road side kill in the handling depatment. The dual mode exhaust is equally outrageous; from startup and on road roar, backfire and pops. What a hoot. The convertible is highly recommended and so is the maual trans which truly engages the driver. Opt for the 2SS and receive great and necessary driver aides like lane departure and electronic panoramic rear view mirror . Both eliminate concerns of rear blind spots as ,of course, does the convertible-top down great rear view, top up very adequate with the 2SS driver aides. Now hear this.I'm on the shorter side and the business of not being able to see out front or along sides is no issue for me. With the power seat adjustments, I 'm able to move my sight line up above the two instrument pods and fully deploy the clutch. The backseats are not for grownups, but they're good enough for a half dozen shopping bags, golf clubs or a couple of overnight travel bags.The convertible trunk can hold several gym bags or roughly 4 full shopping bags. Heck, I've got an SUV for Home Depot and frankly speaking, who buys a sports/muscle car convertible(or coupe) for cargo lugging ?? If there is one thing to [non-permissible content removed] about, it's the summer only tires. I hate not being able to not take it out on cold days when the roads are salt / snow free. The SS equipped run flat/ summer tires are for very spirited driving- the kind that gets people in trouble with the law or into the trees.In the future, I plan to put on all season performance tires and expect them to be sufficient. So that's it. Get this future collectible ICE vehicle now cause the future electric only cars, while being fast, truly have no soul. The Camaro commercials from a ways back say the Camaro, closest thing to a Vette yet. Well to this guy, it's better. C8 Vettes have no manual trans, no true rag top convertible and IMO, disjointed, incongruous styling with a hideous butt. The icing is the money savings over the C8, too.
Mid Life Crisis
My new 2023 Chevrolet 2SS Convertible is everything I ever wanted in a car. My brother asked me if I was having a mid-life Crisis and I stated, of course!!.

Home Run
I stayed away from Camaros for years due to the limited view. Then I Test drove a ZL1 and any hangups due to negatives attributes evaporated. This machine is so good it astounds me. This is coming from a 911 turbo owner. The LT4 is a marvel of engineering. 650 foot pounds of torque from 2500 rpm to 5000 rpm ! The powerband is the entire rev range. With that amount of power I was expecting the car to be all over the road but the software/ stabilitrac Has been methodically perfected. The car knows what you are trying to do and assists you with grace. I really appreciate GM getting this right when many other brands didn’t. The car is smart the electronics are integrated seemlesly, and it needs it because the power plant is so potent. The engine sounds menacing as it howls in a deep throaty baritone as you accelerate, then snarls and growls as you let up. Yet, amazingly the cabin never drones or transmits an obnoxious level of decibels. You hear the engine for sure especially on start up but while driving road noise and drone are filtered out leaving only the sensational engine sound. The cabin is a wonderful place to be and really grows on you the more time you spend in the car. The seats are so good and so are all the controls. Now instead of cursing the visibility you are feeling like you are in the Batmobile and appreciate the bad ass look of the proportions and lines of the ZL1. You defiantly get used to it and also it is easy to get in and out of. The interior has a feel of quality despite some use of plastic. There are no rattles and the doors have a good weight to them when you close them, not like the flimsy feel of the mustang doors or the heavier doors of the challenger. The sound system along with the infotainment is excellent. It has all the creature comforts and wireless phone charging, heads up display, ambient lighting , all the neat stuff that reinforces the experience of piloting a hot modern machine. The handling, steering , and chassis dynamics are so damn good I kick myself for not buying one years ago. The body feels so rigid that you get the feeling of solidity. The car never seems to shift or flex under load or any condition. It is so planted for a rear wheel drive car, and sticks to the road on turns at speed when it seems it should go out of control. The turn in feel is amazing. The suspension is stiff but that is the price you pay and it is just right for this cars’ end purpose of hauling ass. Braking is great too, very smooth and linear. The A10 transmission is a dream to drive. The three modes are great. Put it in sport mode on surface streets and track for anything resembling a highway and you have instant shove in the back during part throttle acceleration. Full throttle in any mode will of corse unleash the beast. I think the Edmunds review was wrong on value and about the controls being difficult. This car could be cross shopped with anything from Europe on a performance and tech basis. It Rivals or surpasses cars with much, much higher price tags so how could it not be a 10 out of 10 in value? The Zl1Camaro is a front engine rear wheel drive v8 that has been optimized and refined and perfected to a standard that is above any other car in that category that I have experienced. However I guess it is not perfect.To tame 650 ft/lbs of torque is not an easy thing. It does not launch as fast as some others and if the outside temps are below 60 degrees Fahrenheit the traction suffers. Full blast straight line acceleration is not always perfectly straight. I have not driven it in the rain so I can’t speak to that. The car is addictive, i just want to keep driving even when I have arrived at my destination. It has a presence, and swagger and attitude that gives the owner a good feeling. It is a thrill to drive. I give it 5 Stars Curses on the Feds [non-permissible content removed] who make the future existence of such a great car and cars like it so Unlikely. <br>
