2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS Review
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Smoking Tire heads out to Adams Motorsports Park to test out the new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS. We put it through its paces on the track and run a hot lap to find out if its 200 horsepower advantage is enough to take the lap time crown from our current leader, the Volkswagen GTI.

This dude is clearly a Mustang driver's boyfriend. It the best muscle car available. The only things you pointed out as downsides were makeup. Its not how she looks, it's how much she puts out. Your bias is obvious.

My mom has a 2010 2ss camaro black she bought it brand new the day it came to the lot she ordered it a few months before. It's not a mans or a womens car its a whoever got the money and wants a sexy car that's is fast as hell. She has had it up to 145 with me in it I cant imagine what she does when she drives alone lol
Imagine this guy went on to be rich doing this wtf? I was so impressed by ss handling, brakes, steering is awesome, seats are, awesome, lights are awesome, ls3 426 hp launch control and no lift shift ! This guy made it sound like he driving a 80 station wagon
As a Mustang Fan and past Mustang owner of over 20 years, that switched to the LS3 powered SS because of ease of modding and actually being fun to work on instead of hell, I can say this review is just pure hater-aid. I DD a 2010 SS and LOVE IT to death. I got over the roof line and visibility issues real quick. That was my only complaint. Drive it enough and learn the car, it's not an issue at all.

I watched this when he first posted it, and was sad because I loved it. Then I got a ride in one and I FELL IN LOVE. Then I got to drive one.. and it was the most beautiful memory I have from college. I bought one after a MONTH of working detail at a dealership. NO REGRETS. I am now a tech at the same dealer and I will NEVER get rid of my beloved 2010 2ss RS. This goes to show you it doesn't matter what a review says about a car. People have different opinions and these reviews should be considered entertainment and not educational.
LOVE my 2010 Camaro SS. Visibility is fine for me :)

I like how blunt and honest you guys are with the reviews, good stuff.
Great review as always. Its always good to see a dude that just tells it how he sees it review cars.It would be cool to see what the Mustang does around that track in comparison.
mine was 40K and I love every inch of it, would agree with the aftermarket exhaust part but that is about it.
Thank you for making good points :D
This guy Matt does excellent reviews. Gives lots of info on the driving experience, sound, handling, interior exterior and his personal opinions. Good job, much better than most car reviewers.
Excellent review Matt Farah - I watched a few other car journalist reviews on the Camaro SS, and I feel like they did not really give me a good idea on how it handles or how much of a driver's car it is - you hit the nail on the head. To add on, the in-car view and audio during your driving session helped as well (I liked being able to actually hear the engine)! Awesome video and review!
LOL @ 3:00 Lego-man grip. Nice honest review, Matt.
gotta love these nonbiased reviews! cough topgear cough
Your the man Matt!!!! Great review! All the best to you, hope to see many more Smoking Tire episodes.
Matt, I just saw a little compilation of a few episodes on Attack of the Show! Congratulations big guy! Hopefully it will bring more people to the show, you deserve it. Keep up the good work and good luck fighting that 1mph over ticket...absolutely ridiculous!
"low roof line", "blind spots", and oh my gosh....... "NO NAVIGATION"! It's a sports car my man, not a minivan.
i kinda think the mountain runs ( like most of the reviews or one takes) reveal the true handling, power delivery, etc its a better car than most think
One of the best roadtest guy ever, man so down to earth. Thks
Matt thanks for calling it as YOU see it. That's why we watch you and why you are good at what you do!
Saw one of these today , great looking cars if i have to say it :)
Watch Jay Leno's review on the Camaro.
Your show keeps getting better and better, Top Gear and you guys are the only cars shows i watch. Its a matter of time before you blow up and get 100k+ subscribers.
I’m 13 and I’ve always wanted a camaro since I was smaller but this is my favorite style gonna try to get one in the future
@BlazingCheerio The real problem with the forthcoming Z28 is that, as far as we have seen so far, nothing they are adding to it will improve any of the things we don't like about this version. More power and bigger brakes are always a good thing, but everything else is going to be the same. Nevertheless, we are waiting for our eventual chance to test one out for ourselves.
Well the only "positive" thing I heard is that the mustang is a better car and that this camaro doesn't compare at all even to a V6 mustang that is how this felt lol

This guy is full of shit. In his review of the 2014 Corvette Stingray, he didn't mention any of these negatives like the visibility or the steering "lego" grip, but the Corvette uses the same steering wheel and has the same roof height and blind spots. Sounds like to me he had a slight incentive to give this car a bad review. He also ran it on a go cart track and gave an HONEST review?

@drewetc by comparison, the Mustang has a soft foam rubber and real aluminum dash. And that is even on the $23,000 base model.
A ford enthusiast giving the Camaro a bad review. SHOCKING! Compare it to the 2010 Mustang gt. That car is a P.O.S!!

What are you nuts lol the 2010 mustang GT handled better than this 2010 camaro every review prove it... Just because it was down on power, but that's why the 5.0 engine came back better than ever. The 5.0 GT stumps the shit out of this SS lol using a smaller engine. The camaro has a 6.2L and it gets killed by a smaller displacement 5.0L Stang.. Now that's what you call a POS

***** Then go and tell all the magazines that their reviews are bull lol because in every single review of the ss vs 5.0 the ss always gets smOked haaha anyone can easily figure out that the 5.0 is faster than the ss. The stang its lighter, with 420HP, and close ratio transmission. Of course there is replacement for displacement its called engineering. The ss has 1.2L more displacement and only made 426HP lmafo... Thats only 6HP more than what the 5.0L puts out lol is that what you call no replacement for displacement haaha the boss 5.0 makes the ls3 engine look like a complete turd lol 444HP with only 5 liters of displacement!!! Thats what im talking about lol...

@TheSmokingTire cool... glad to see they are willing to provide you with vehicles again even if you do not always give sparkling reviews. Kudos to GM for that.
Looking at picking up a low mile 2010 2SS how have you guys liked yours?
the only bad thing i hear about this car is the interior. im average height (5'9) so ill have no trouble fitting in this. i dont heal toe. and i dont really give a shit about interior. i just want power and going sideways. and these cars are relatively cheap these days. think ima get one. as for the comment on the clutch. so what if its not very forgiving? people should learn to drive their cars better. not ask for a car that does everything for you like most of the new cars.
aren't all vehicles all plastic -_-
i barely press the brake pedal on mine and its a hard stop, feels like the brakes are almost fully squeezed, are they all like this?
so matt, after having tested both the mustang 5.0 and the camaro by themselves, which would you prefer? (as if I didn't already have a guess)...but glad you finally reviewed them both!!
great video! I'm still thinking of getting the ss 2010.

@furian777 I don't consider the challenger a Sports Car, because it's terrible at every performance test and certainly doesn't feel like a sports car. It's a great looking, comfortable cruiser that sounds good in SRT8 trim.
Dude just biased
This guy hated the camaro before he even drove it. I'm still going to buy and smoke your VM. He has no idea how to drive a Muscle car.
great vid man.
@p4horror that's awesome to hear that you enjoy it so much. I want to buy one but the prices right now are still a little high. I test drove one a few months ago and liked it. The engine vibrated a few times pretty heavily for whatever reason but overall it felt pretty high class. I love the reports I'm reading about people removing the mufflers and getting hardly any drone. Enjoy your car, vw GTI driver here, big turbo and not enjoying FWD :)
How is he unbias, First of all how many of you have actually driven the 10 SS ? I just drove my boys yesterday for an hour around town. Everything Farah says is mostly accurate from my experience . Interior all plastic cheap looking check, Lego man hands steering wheel that has akward grip check, cheap looking gauges check, Quiet for a 423hp V8 unless you put exhaust Check( Mine had exhaust so ok), decent chassis and handling but long and heavy front end check, bad visibility and blind spots check, Gear shifter is sloppy and clutch requires a delicate balance( more than normal)check, Good power and torque check, Not an eye catcher anymore too many around check check.. Think about like this, a pro driver would find even more things wrong with this cars characteristics, so there his review was fine

I'm totally diggin that hood ornament.
@DaBluedude100 *with the exception of the last-generation cars, (94-02) where the SS was the top-performing model and the Z28 was the "mid level" model.
Very good review :)
hey Matt I hope you get this question, would a 2006 corvette C6 be a better choice than the 2010 Camaro SS??? used ones similar price thanks
@citi0rhythm carbon fiber, aluminum, burlwood, well-woven cloth, foam rubber, leather-covered rubber, etc.
I’ve always been a Mustang fan but when I saw this style Camaro come out I was like DAMN! That’s a nice looking ride. I rented a SS in Florida back in 2012. I agree 100% the blind spots are really bad. The car had excellent performance and was awesome looking in black. Always wanted one, maybe now is the time to get one.
@squeakywilllive1 you'd have to get it done at a custom shop, and it would probably cost several thousand dollars. as far as I know, GM doesn't offer any upgraded interior options for the Camaro.
Great control bro
Did the Mustang run that track? You should put all the times up on your website somewhere. Do you think the extra weight and aero drag caused by the extra car on the hood caused the slow time?
@ShepperdW fine, but it's marketed as such.
perfect video !!! Smoking Tire is the best !!! finally someone with honesty and humor BTW I have been in the interior of V6 SS (back seats are just for kids or u will feel like rubik's cube :) but i love those blue lights in interior (doors) they should put this in every car
@PunjabiSherrr Forward visibility is just as big a problem as rear visibility in the Camaro, and the rear "blind spot" visibility is even worse. Backup camera won't fix that.
Would the supposed additions coming with the Z28 help take the crown back from the Mustang?
@donnis618 The Honda Civic Si is a $23,000 car. The Camaro SS's base price is $32,000. For that kind of price difference, I don't want a hard plastic dash.
@TheSmokingTire Did you pick up the Raptor with the new 6.2 in it?
What sort of time does the 2011 Mustang run around this track?
@TheSmokingTire- Nice and keep going you guys are awesome
Worth noting that Adams motorsports park is literally a go kart track
Props on unbiased reviews
do they ever run go carts on that track? it looks like it would be really fun for go carts, but a little small for cars good review
Very impressive show on this one... A semi-home track to race and compare on? You guys are definitely giving off an aura of being a high-quality, legit car show.
What sort of time will a 2011 Mustang run on this track?
@TheSmokingTire ....Great Review, Matt.
@ShepperdW I've never claimed to be a pro driver, although I have a pretty solid amount of experience. If you can beat me around a track, good for you, but I don't care. The GTI, with me driving, was faster than the Camaro SS, with me driving. That's a fair comparison.
Do you have to open the door to close the trunk?
@themostoriginaluser what downsides would those be? he only mentioned a few flaws namely visibility and materials. other than that, the power and chassis and everything else were good things. so what's your point?
how would you compare the camaro to the challenger
Good review
i love this damn car...next year is just mine :X
Hey Matt, Since you guys do Adams motorsports park alot for your reviews, you should start a lap time board that you guys update with everycar you test there
@ChristianFirefighter Adams is a real track that competitive time attack is run on every single tuesday with cars. All kinds of cars run there, from Mustangs and Camaros to Miatas, GTI's, and Subaru's. Just because you drive a Camaro and don't like what I have to say about the car, doesn't mean our methods of testing all the cars on the same track aren't as fair as they can be. If the track was longer, it might have done better, yes, but on our track, it didn't do well. Deal with it.
yeah, im 6.5" and when i sat/drove the SS i wast impressed, i had to bend my head wayy down just to see stop lights at intersections, and my hair touched the ceiling even with seat all the way down. In the area of looks and power i would definitely give it a ten, and the seats are very comfortable :)
Matt, I'm a huge fan and just wanted to ask: How would one go about starting in road journalism? I wrote for a small car news website before for free but that went no where, because what I TRULY want to do is review cars. So, any advice?
@Roninwarrior7 the point of the test wasn't specifically to compare the lap time to the GTI, that car just happened to be the quickest car we'd tested on that track at the time. We agree that on a track with faster corners, it would have performed better by comparison, but unfortunately, on a budget as small as ours, that's the only track we've got, unless someone else is sponsoring a particular episode and providing track time.
wow, a review that doesnt just say numbers and say this is fun.
@360mmspider hello, im from greece and i want to ask you a few quastions 1) how can i buy a camaro from america and ship it to europe/greece ? 2) Is it real that camaro will be shipping in Europe at 2011 autumn? P.S: sorry for my bad english.... thank you...
