Perhaps silly, but as good as the Camaro is, (and as good as it looks), if they didn't offer Rapid Blue, I'm not sure I would've gone through with the purchase. Also, Rapid Blue, IMO, really accentuates the cars beautiful lines/sculpting, etc. Obviously, stealth ISN'T an option...LOL!

Car has been amazing, drive it almost an hour to work each way, getting 23.5 mpg avg combined and that's in sport mode the whole 2000 miles. I have been getting on it here and there too not nursing it along and also idling while eating lunch for the heat. Only thing I felt needed changing were the stock run flats, the ride quality was a bit crashy and I felt there was excessive tramlining with those Goodyears. Put on Continental DWS ExtremeContact all seasons and completely eliminated those issues, a dream to drive anywhere now except over the worst Detroit roads.

    I have a V6 ordered in this color since way back in September of last year. Don't judge, it's my only car so I need to drive it in all weather conditions, and in New Jersey traffic, so that's why I stick with the V6. Still enough power for me, but damn, this sounded nice. This video earned you another subscriber here. Gonna miss the Camaros when they're gone and hopefully the next gen isn't some electric version because that's just not the same. Great review.

    I've had my '21 LT1 for about 15 months. I'm in Chicago, the car rests in a garage and doesn't come out unless it's 40 degrees and dry. This was an indulgence buy for me and I'm relieved I bought it when I did, A10 and NPP only options came out to $41K OTD before financing. This car is docile when you putt around, but when you give it the beans it turns into a rocket and growls, to make you happy you bought an American RWD V8 coupe (last of a dying breed). Hands down the best present I ever bought myself. For those who have one or are thinking of getting one, immediately dump the stock rear 8.5" wheels on rubber band 245s and upgrade to the SS 9.5" wheel and wrap with 275 width Michelin PS4S. The car will be transformed and you'll be able to launch hard and really push the car around corners with confidence leveraging the epic Alpha platform. Great video brother, keep up the good work!

    $45k for an lt1 is insane in my opinion, I’m in a 2020 1SS 1LE now which I paid $44k for. I had a 21 lt1 as well that I paid $32k for. The purpose of getting an lt1 is that it’s supposed to be cheaper than the ss model. Once you start adding any options to one then you might as well just get an ss.

    Two additional zonks for me. 1. That bowtie at the front should've been hallowed out. That concept has grown on me for a while. And to not see that on a muscle car just feels weird. 2. Wheels at the rear. Based on previous muscle car reviews im used to seeing a "staggered fitment" if im using the term correctly. Either the rims should've been 21 inches or the tires should've been wider. That's just my opinion of course because other than that, i'd buy this and a Porsche with that exact same colour. I LOVE that sharkskin finish. Gives it an extra...... bite!!😂😂😂

And to think it can be had for less than or not much more than $40K is epic! Screw Mopar! If I were in a position to, I'd say make mine black with the 6 speed and the "right number of pedals", and then let's rock n roll! Mary Barra needs to be put behind the wheel.

    Oh the nostalgia…my first car was a 1999 Camaro (I called her Stella) with t-tops and it was so cool. Those models had ZERO blind spots, but you don’t buy Camaros because you want to be able to see well or have any ground clearance. Am I nuts or does this particular one sound vaguely Mustang-like? And how does snow/ice mode work in a car like this? My ‘99 definitely did not have that, but she somehow traversed a decent amount of snow and ice in all her rear wheel drive glory lol.
