Drive my camaro from Oregon to the Bay Area in Cali all the time never have any heating issues your car might be having issues bro.

Sounds like you should be driving an Accord or Camry

Camaro ‘s aren’t meant to put bikes 🚲 n the trunk

The skip shift is #1 for me. Bought the skip shift eliminator from Phastek. Money well spent.

The only thing that I hated about my 5th generation Camaro was that I only had one of them. So I bought a second one... and now I get to alternate them day to day. It's awesome.

Makes me wonder why you bought it... I love my 2011 2SS. It’s a muscle car, and it drives like one. The only thing you say that I agree with is that visibility is limited. Couple bubbles on the side mirrors fix it though. But the car is amazing. Easily the most fun to drive of any car I have owned...

I’m here before I buy my camaro 👀

I agree with each one. GM agreed with you too on some of the interior stuff as well because it was fixed later on. I don’t daily mine so I haven’t run into the squeaks but I can imagine that gets old.

Okay here's my opinions with my 2013: 1- with heat issues maybe something with your car cuz I live in Dubai and man lemme tell you it is the hottest country I've ever been like i've lived in visited a lot of hot ass countries like Saudi arabia, nothing compared to Dubai, yet thankfully the car never had heating probs. 2- ever since I started looking for camaros I kept only looking for 2012+ because of that old damn ugly steering wheel. 3- my old car was a manual and I went for automatic because of the traffic and small roads around here, never regretted it. 4- I fucking hate the plastic of the car especially since I have subwofer in the trunk that make everything squeek including the sunroof (be thankful you don't have that) 5- I've had my car for around 8 months now yet still stick my head out of the window. 6- I have the MyLink screen and I only use it for playing music, totally not worth it without the GPS package and it's absurd that the back camera only works with GPS package. 7- The previous owner had a back camera installed on it that works on the middle mirror, never use it for parking yet it's useful when you're backing up directly to the street it can show you the cars coming. 8- Most important one is whenever I look at her I forget all these flaws above and enjoy tf out of her.

I love my Camaro its a 2013 v6 with full bolts on, upgrade SS Intake and e85, putting around 320 to the wheels right now, but I understand your problems lol that's why you look for the touch screen for that back up cam it helps a lot

Great video! Have you done anything to fix the shifter issue?

1) The LS3's cooling issues have nothing to do with the location of the coolant hose. Coolant runs at over 200 degrees; the "hot" air from the engine does not have any marketable effect on it. If anything, the coolant hose warming the air in the intake manifold would be more of a concern. The engine cover is unnecessary, but I don't know how much it really has any effect on cooling. The primary issue with the Camaro in terms of cooling is that the radiator is garbage. It is way too thin for a 6.2L engine. 2) Dimensionally, the mail slot, if it was open, would not provide any consequential airflow for cooling. 3) Totally fair; this car is too heavy. 4) Yes, the porthole of an opening is pretty bad. 5) Visibility vs Style. Yes, you can hide a suburban in the C-Pillar, but it looks awesome. A full glass house would look dumb. 6) The skip shift was installed to skirt the gas guzzler tax, so GM saved you a couple thousand dollars. Day to day, I never hit the skip shift. Stop driving like a grandma. 7) Many cars do this, but yes, 100% agree, the Challenger does it better with the cup holder off to the side on the side. 8) The screen is a design from the mid 2000's, designed to mimic an older style radio. Nicer tech simply was not available in a cost effective package when this car was developed. It's not great, but it's not offensive either. 9) The 2010 Steering wheel has gone down as one of the worst in the industry. Even the teardrop cross section is angled to dig into your hand. +1 on an aftermarket one. 10) The dash material is trash. No way around it, it sucks. The lit trim is super cool, but the dash sucks. Finally, why do you have a bullet in your charger door area?

Great video man! Love the car. I have a 5th gen as well and I want to get a lip like the one you have. Where did you get yours??

But seriously bro, you really did buy the wrong car. You knew MOST all of this before you bought the car. What am I missing??? It is a SPORTS CAR! And not even a luxury sport. There are a couple of things you wouldn't have known, but in general you knew the steering wheel design, trunk design, engine design, cup holder, non-functional mail slot, the weigh, and the visibility. Again, having said that, what the heck am I missing??? I have a 2012 2SS and I love the freakin' car. I bought a Carbon Creation Hood because of that look as well as the fact that it's actually functional. It has the dual line of vents down either side of the scoop. But I didn't buy it because the car was running hot. I don't live in DC but I work in DC, and trust me that's a lot of stop and go, mostly stop, and it is a 6 speed. I bought the car because it can get out of its own way. Therefore when I can stretch it out, no problem. No one, No one would ever in their widest dreams buy a sports car for trunk space or convenience. Yes sir, the visibility is low, it only causes you to constantly pay more attention to what's going on around you, not necessarily a bad thing. And to have your mirrors perfectly adjusted. Unfortunately most people have their mirrors adjusted where they can see the side of their car. The side of your car is not going to do you any harm. As far as the 1st to 2nd gear; my car doesn't get to see 1st gear, unless I'm stopped on a hill, which isn't very often. You can drive the car perfectly fine not using 1st gear WITHOUT burning up the clutch IF YOU CAN DRIVE. You wouldn't be harming anything. I've been driving it that way for years now. You are not going to burn up anymore gas or the clutch, IF YOU CAN DRIVE. I started doing that almost from day one because I'm not racing from light to light nor do I drive like a little old lady, it's perfect. With all due RESPECT my brother, you should ask yourself why you bought the car, and perhaps considering selling to someone who in interested in purchasing a really nice SPORTS CAR. Incidentally, my rear view camera is in the rear view mirror , if it wasn't it just wouldn't be and issue. Lots of cars have them in the dash. Again, with all due respect... Peace

Thats a beautiful color

A thing I hate about my 2012 camaro ss is the leaky oil pan. And to further make it more complicated to change the oil pan gasket they put a crossmember right beneath it so you can't change it without either raising the engine or cutting the crossmember out and wielding it back in. They should have made it a bolt in crossmember for removing the oil pan.

Great Video,,,Although #9 hate,,, they did make a flat bottom steering wheel,, its called the 1LE

Bro I got a 2014 camaro 2ss, and the shit you said about the trunk is so truee!!! My whole trunk inside looks so beat up from trying to put stuff in and out ! Nice vid though.

Any one else seen the bullet @10:19??

Thank you for the insight , I am considering buying one and appreciate your comments.

Bro camaros aren't heavy. Challengers are heavy. Challengers are freaken tanks. I agree with the visibility.

All of that is facts bro. I put a subwoofer in mine and all the plastic RATTLING makes it sound TERRIBLE. I live in Florida and I get overheating warnings every once and a while. The owner before me put 5% tint on it making visibility even worse, smh... and the 2nd to 4th thing

I have to agree with you on the visibility and trunk opening! I recently got a 5th Gen 2SS, coming from driving a 4 door sedan it was a big adjustment getting used to the visibility and trunk opening. Regardless, I still love my car. The power definitely makes up for the small quirks. Btw I LOVE that bumper lip! Where’d you get it?

Don't go to 4th go to 3rd instead-there is also a lock out for this issue-Or rev to a higher rpm before shifting-its all on the driver function.

I would wrap the coolant line in exhaust wrap, sick car

I love my 5th gen 1LE - you should change up to double DIN to get that screen. Sweet looking ride

I have a camaro ss 1LE 2014 and on the track the oil temp does get pretty high but, when I would drive around town I didn’t have a overheating problem

Thank u brother! Great vid. Keep it comn..appreciate u!

Well thought out, you had good points and didn't ramble about pointless shit. New subscriber.

Even on my 2015 mustang the creaks and sounds bother me, what I did is put stick Velcro patches behind the trim that rattled and it went away lol electrical tape helps too.

Haven't had any issues with my 2011 Camaro SS no heating issues at all, alothough I'm not a fan of the radio or it's speakers gonna put the MyLink system in it at some point

For reason #8 u have to remember u have a 2010/11 this car was ahead of its time. In return a shitty screen. Back in 2007 when the proto type was out this was standard

Your really co.plaining about the screen from 2010 car🤣

I took mine to a tuner to turn off the MDS. Other than the visibility it is a perfect car. Mine is a drop top so the visibility is not terrible with the top down. Mine does not run hot. If anything, it stays in the bottom 1/3rd of the gauge. Yours should not run hot - I think you need to flush your coolant and change your thermostat. I agree they are too heavy but it sure holds the road nice.

The car looks awesome bro good shit!

Whered you get that spoiler and splitter? I’m assuming the splitter is a replica z28, but where’d you get it, and how’s the fitment

4:45 Who keyed your car?

Hated the mail slot too, but found out there’s a functional mail slot that allows air in

Thank you for this video. It helped me go with a 2013 Camaro. I went as new as possible while avoiding the new body style. Better steering wheel, better interior, MyLink navigation, bluetooth, rear view camera etc.

hood insert is actually 2014-2015 SS insert

I have a 4th Gen WS6 and you hear the plastic even more! Lol! But the borla exhaust covers it pretty well

thats a nice blue color on your camaro,im wondering whats the name of the blue color that you have on your camaro,i really like the blue color,its a cool color

6:55 my worst gripe forsure, I swear it up every time 🤣

I added a double din stereo and backup camera to my 2012 SS Camaro

What rims are you running in this video

Hahaha oh man bro the scene of you fighting that 1st to 4th shift is perfect!! I have had my 2010 SS since it came out and that has been by far the absolute worst part of the car. That and the stock screen is terrible, this car needs a screen and back up cam for sure

I have a 2007 Saturn sky so I’m used to not being able to see anything 😂

That coolant over your intake is going to be wayyyyy hotter than the heat your intake releases.

I love that year styles steering wheel , the new ones look sooo basic to me , it doesn’t look like they belong in a muscle car

You can tune out the skip shift bro. Or just bump up the rpms. None of your issues I don’t have I can see fine park easy. Probably more because I drove semi trucks

I got a 2013 convertible SS. Easy to get boxes inside. ;)

hate that lights for better lighting view need to push headlights button always

the gen5 camaro is an incredible car. chevy nailed it with these cars. i have owned 2 now. now own a 2012 2ss rs in inferno orange..such an awesome car to own and drive..super smooth and silky quiet. future classic for sure so look after those mint low milage ones

Well if I might add -there is very little inside lighting, ZERO, in the back seat. The sun visors are too short and do not block no sun. Oh, no light in the glove box. The slots on the doors could have been wider to include cup holders. Visibility is very bad. I still don’t trust my outside closeness to objects.I think we just pay for a motor and tires. Kinda like the designers thought we would be on the track all the time and didn’t need nothing but maybe gas. I can say the center console lid is still intact unlike my last 3 Camaros. The backseat is a improvement. But I am still in love with the Camaro. It was love at first sight for me in the early 70’s.

You can get the 6th gen radio with the rear view camera

Damn you funny 😂 ,I can so relate to all those 😆😩

I love the 5th gen but i bought a 2013 because of the upgraded my link touchscreen...you shouldva changed it long time ago

No hate, but I have a 2015 2ss and only have the visibility issue. There's skip shift eliminator kits that solve the shifting issue. The 2ss has upgraded interior with factory backup camera and touch screen.. And yes the trunk opening is small but its a muscle car not a daily commuter. Too many people forget chevy designed the car to haul ass not your shit around. All love tho nice video:)

Just bought a 2011 Camaro 2SS with 87k 6 speed. I noticed it had a slow crank, dealer replaced battery, week later car said it had no oil pressure, dealer is now replacing oil pump. Anything else I should look for?

BUT your Camaro looks so badass bro😂👌

The only valid points I heard in this video is the trunk and the cup holders. But you have a beautiful car

U can solve 6th and 7th problem. Just install HURST short throw shifter with pistol grip. It's so amazing.

Beautiful cars I’m on my fourth Camaro---Camaro forever (79 v8, 84z28, 94z28, and current 2010 SS, the best yet

i 100% agree with the cupholder tic i drove my sisters camaro on a 3 hour trip

The doors open entirely too wide

From where did u get ur front lip

For me I have a 2010 Camaro SS with ~115K miles on it. I got it with only a few hundred miles on it in late 2010. Worst things about the 5th Gen Camaro: -A/C unit was $2000+ to replace when it went bad after 5 years. They have to remove the dash and lift it out through the windshield to replace it. These units go bad all the time and R-134 leaks are common. -Boston Acoustics speakers blew up *3-4 times* under warranty within the first 36 months/36000 miles and are still busted 12 years later (I gave up) 2010 year radio (non-touchscreen) is antiquated -USB only recognizes Apple iPhone and antiquated technology. I have to use USB-C to auxiliary connection to play music from my Samsung phone and cigarette lighter ports and chargers -separately if I want to charge it. Can't do both at once. -This car could have definitely benefited from a back-up camera. -There was a key fob ignition recall issued back around 2011-13 I believe. They just take your key and take the key part off and then try to hand you a generic key and just the neutered remote. I refused and made them fix the key again. Both of my OEM 2010 keyfobs have deteriorated and buttons are taped in place or made out of pencil eraser. -If a rubber piece falls off your radio you have to apparently order the entire $400 unit to replace that piece unless you go to a junkyard and find one. -Window roll-up failures where it falls back down. Wires can get pinched in the door and you can lock yourself out just by opening the door and getting out on accident. The trunk button won't work unless the door is shut for me sometimes and it is annoying as hell because it will half-ass open sometimes I have to hold the button down and lift on the lid. -Stock exhaust sucks so bad. -If you put a sticker on the radio screen and leave it there for a month it permanently scars the plastic in the shape of that sticker.

Where did you get the hood vent?

That drivers seat always start to crack and ware down and begin to rip and tear!! Just about in the same place in all cameros, should be a factory recall on these Recaro drivers seat

You can definitely swap out the radio for the full screen with no modifications

Plus my Camaro is an automatic. I know don't hate me. I do know how to drive a stick. But I hold my hand on the shifter too so the thing with the cup holder I feel that too. Only when I'm driving hard and using the pedal shifts is when I don't care. But when I'm driving normal I hold on to the shifter.

Walked a 2019 SS today in my 2014 Mustang GT. Just saying. I do have that same cup holder issue though.

nice vid. none of these things have bothered me though

I have the 2014 1LT Automatic, so most of this list isn't applicable on my 6-cylinder. However, you hit on some common points: Trunk = What the heck is up with that? I have to do some crazy machinations just to get anything of decent size through the opening. View = This was nuts for me at first seeing as how I've been driving a Camry for so long. It's like the difference between being in an open field (Camry) and being in the dead center of the Amazon rain forest (Camaro). I quickly learned how to use my side mirrors appropriately, and I now stick my head out in order to back into spaces. Rainy days are always fun. And yes - backing into spaces is a MUST because the worst driving experience in the world is trying to back OUT of a space in this thing. A parade of Abrams tanks could be passing by and I wouldn't know it until I was tank tread. Steering Wheel = I have the Chevy logo wheel, and it just doesn't quite go with the car. It's like a muscle car and a jalopy hooked up and had a steering wheel baby, and this thing is it. Having stated all of that, so far I've greatly enjoyed this ride. It's my daily and hasn't given me any problems. I've only had it for a year (6k miles), though, so we'll see. She's up to 49k miles so far.

Just bought a 5th gen SS and I wouldn't attempt or even imagine ever trying to fit a bike in it. You sir bought the wrong car.

The skip shift elimator is a thing tho

i had a hitch put on mine to carry a attachment rack

Drove my car from Maine to San Diego in 3 days with no heating issues 🤷

You inspired me to make my car like yours ! 😭

I love my Camaro-Everything is fixable-Don't loose the faith-J.A.X-Germantown MD.

Never had any over heating issues with my 2015 2SS. Engine isn’t stressed at all moving this car. Maybe you are?

Another problem is that it can't haul plywood or my dirt bike..

With all of your noted "Hate" for this vehicle, I would say that you bought the wrong car for yourself. I would suggest that you do more research before purchasing your next car. Peace!

I will admit, the visibility in my 2012 Camaro SS is akin to the view from the inside of a Russian Altyn Helmet. Have to lean my head out the window in the drive through without fail lmao.

need to get a 13-15 5th gen

Never had any of these problems with my camaro ss lol

May I know your wheel set up?

U can get the 1 to 4 shift with a tune

I am more comfortable driving this than my suburban even though the suburban is much more open. I just lean forward and think I can see most things. The trunk I dont use so I dont mind it but I can see how you would dislike that. Cupholders I dont mind but then again mine are for coins and other storage but i can imagine your weird arm movements 😂. Personally I am so glad I have the old steering wheel, it looks so much better and doesnt make you look like you are driving any chevy ever. I am use to it (2 and a half years), but have no problems driving it. I even have had friends tell me that they like my steerring wheel better. i do agree with you on the plastic bits, I hear mine creek. So I blare the radio and my exhaust will tone out the rest with it beIng so loud.I have to thought about how to fix the plastic moving pieces. I hate that my camaro is a normal color unlike yours and that I dont have your amazing front splitter 😂. Your car looks soooo Good. Also love the hood.

Never had any issues with mind and I had it from Day 1. 👍

🔥

I only hate one thing....the infamous brembo brake squeal! That's it!

Only thing I didn’t like honestly is the dash, esp after sitting in a ZL1. Not a big deal to me though

That splitter is nasty

What wheels are they ?

I’m mean yeah I do relate with ya on all your points and I too daily my 2010 2ss but I mean I feel when I bought the car it’s those sacrifices you are expected to make ya know?

I have a 2013 Camaro and I like your steering wheel better than the one I have.

just bought one....greetings from Germany

Nice camaro. Dude.

how does the engine have an overheating problem ? if these ls engines love the heat bro lol
