Man that’s so weird I was thinking about you an about an hour ago… I’m hoping your car makes parole any day now 🤞🏻… LOVE the whine and the MPGs are picking up little by little…

Thank you… I wanted this car for a long time… I loved my 1SS. Honestly it might be the best bang for the buck in the camaro lineup. I hope your wait time goes fast

I ordered a 2SS 1LE Feb 27th ,M6 ,shadow grey red seatbelts ,Please tell me u took delivery of your car from 7 months ago,I hear some horror stories and then i hear reasonable wait times

650 hp really is a decent amount of power! You’ll love that cold air intake!

@@The_Drive_Inside Let me clarify, I got an SS 1LE not the ZL1.

you were able to order the Cold air intake by GM? Do you have a link or something so i can order a cold air intake for my 2ss 1le?

@@Richardw397 the carbon fiber one is strictly for the ZL1 😐… i know i know

All ZL1’s are 2SS’s

Thank you sir! It’s freaking awesome I’m happy I ended up with another camaro instead of a hellcat… as much as I would’ve liked a change.. this feels right

@@The_Drive_Inside it looks good with you in the driver seat! I can’t wait for more content 💪🏾

Can’t really disagree with that! Don’t become car poor the market is going to readjust

Appreciate that!

The SS 1LE is more than enough car for a lot of people! It’s almost the Swiss Army knife of muscle cars…

That particular look is only on the 2019 ,u either love it or hate it ,Im personally not a fan of the front ends of the 19s ,but i do like 20-23 front ends

@@edgarsanchez6876 How long did it take to get your SS 1LE?

@@korygrandy6133 6 months. Car was built in jan 2022 got it in aug. when I reserved it, it was in Michigan still.

ZL1 the world 🌎

I about 80% agree with this… I do like the NA sounds too… but after really driving the ZL1 I can’t really go back

Apply foot 🦶🏻 to A$$ 💥 my friend

I’m guessing you’re going to need more headroom with a supercharged halo car so they gave it taller gears to get higher speeds and it doesn’t snap loose when you stab it… they could’ve went taller though!

Well said…easily lost 20 grand on my trade BUT out of all cars available I chose it and still don’t regret it… since you’re so self aware I believe you’ll be just as happy too. Congrats

@@The_Drive_Inside 🙌 truthfully you can’t go wrong either way these 6gens are brilliant cars🤙

You get what you pay for.

Yes sir ZL1 is different than my SS 1LE was… kzfaq.infoRFyf_5Qqvik?feature=share

Definitely

I love it so much but I kinda miss my SS. That orange is starting to grow on me for sure!

Contentment is a rare thing these days… I love to hear it!

Yep.. I got mine for about 77 grand just got back from the shop already at 850 crank on E85 and meth. I think I’m going to put a cam in and leave it… before Covid there were discounts galore and no wait times for ordering… now everything is a mess

I paid$52k for a loaded 2SS1LE brand new

@@robosullivan704 if you were me… would you order ZL1 1LE

@@The_Drive_Inside I would want to BUT I heard you either can't or the wing is an issue because of lack of availability?! that is the ultimate for me, but I would not want to Daily it.

Yeah the wing is the issue with trying to order a zl1 1le. With 23 being the last year I went with a 2023 2ss 1le. It was ordered in July of 2021 originally a 2022 car but was pushed to a 2023 model and I just got it the end of September: If you daily your car the ss 1le is the way to go. The zl1 1le is a very rough ride. It does handle amazing but it does feel heavier. I paid about 60k for mine but it’s pretty optioned out. Also if you buy it in California you get the copper free brakes and the rotors are the same size as the zl1 you can feel the difference. I believe that started in 22 for that option. Outside of California if you get a 1le it’s an additional $500 option. But I highly recommend getting it. Had to go 6 speed manual and the elsd with the 3.73 are amazing! Drove my 21 ss for two years had 17k miles and about a dozen tracks days. Sold it for $5k more than I originally paid for it. Gotta love that.

😂😂😂 I’m always getting the energy drink/drugs comments…I appreciate you 🤙🏻

Yep agreed!

Ok ok… I’ll try. The SS is the tallest…the SS 1LE is the same as the ZL1 in the final drive (rear end) but the SS 1LE trans is geared lower than the ZL1 (transmission) sooo… SS… rear is geared tall and the trans is geared lower SS 1LE… the rear is geared lower and the trans is geared lower ZL1…the rear is geared lower and the trans is gear higher SO IT FEELS compared to my old 1LE…I raced a couple manual SS models and this is my speculation

@@The_Drive_Inside well that is very revealing! ZLE must be different yet again! Thankyou for your insights.

Agreed but I like the ZL1 wheel color better than my 1LE wheels… there’s some stuff I miss on my 1LE

Niiice

How is it?!

Kinda in theory…shorter trans gears and narrower front track, slightly smaller brakes. There’s features here and there that are different and they add up to say no… but on paper yes.

Almost there😁…I’ve got a feeling everything will be fine

This makes me so happy to see people on top of maintenance like this!

Agreed…it’s the front fascia and the LT4… I can feel they tweaked the gear ratios a bit other than that a 2SS 1LE has you covered… I love the wider front sooo much though!! I’m hoping Cody(and everyone) gets their car asap!! I know Cody has been going through v8 withdrawals hard!!!

A ZL1 is not 30k more than a similarly spec'd 1LE. When I got mine an SS would have been about 50k compared to 65k on the zl1.

@@arkarius944 whoa whoa… you don’t know how much I paid or how much I owed on my SS 1LE 🤨. That scenario is assuming they are both new and sitting side by side on the showroom and you’re getting them for sticker… I’m not lying.. I’m being transparent with you guys…

@@The_Drive_Inside obviously I have no idea what you paid. Just speaking of what they would cost when I was looking at them, new, of course.

@@arkarius944 not now

Indeed..I realized that after I uploaded BUT its like 0.2 of a inch… just enough to compensate for the added weight

@@The_Drive_Inside just felt like I'd comment the correction and yeah figured the small increase was to off-set for the weight difference

As soon as I get it back to 💯 I’ll be putting the draggy in it

Are you seriously comparing bmw Hp?? We both know its underrated, lol. The new x3m competition is supposed to pump out around 503 hp, but that thing walks trackhawks from dig and roll like nothing!

@@alwaysdriven old news...like a year ago

A built LT1 H/C/I and FBO is no joke…and i would have full confidence that it would take a beating without constantly breaking down. I have a jailbreak on order without a allocation lol.. BUT I’m picking ZL1 all day long

6,000 miles later…runs like a top 👌🏻

Atta boy. I waited it out and I think you made the right call my friend

a subscriber gave me a ride in his and it was soooo weird but FAST!

Makes sense… maybe I’ll try it

If you’re on the fence like that, I would say no it’s not worth the money… I think it takes a special buyer to buy and truly enjoy what the ZL1 can offer… you can get 650 hp out of a SS quite easy… I miss my 1SS 1LE

I’ve got a ‘18 1SS m6, it’s definitely a fun car. I kinda want to upgrade to a zl1, I really want the ‘17 krypton green m6, very hard to find. I’ve got a Hellcat also, thought it be great to have 2 cars with superchargers 🏎️💨💨💨

@@The_Drive_InsideHOW easy, money wise?

@@livinglife3230 even if you pay a shop to do it…$7,000 to $9,000 maybe 10. I traded my SS 1LE and lost about 25 or 30 grand 😐…. BUT I got a brand new car, 4 miles on it, the ZL1 front end LT4 blah blah blah. If you can stomach the loss then that’s different

Really?!?! That’s awesome I love my ZL1. Honestly both are good looking cars

I like the 1Le wheels better but not the hood or front end

I like to think so

They’re to similar for me… seems like a waste. I’d love to have a hellcat and a ZL1 👌🏻

The ratios in the transmission are not the same but the rear axles are the same ratio…the SS is a fun car you can push to its limits

I tried a faceless channel a couple years ago… tanked hard! Data shows the audience likes to feel their engaged in the conversation 🤷🏼‍♂️. I understand you gotta do what you gotta do though

@@The_Drive_Inside good to know 👍

I’m over that trap beat shit

@@The_Drive_Inside I am also😂

I get it… there’s a few things like upgraded axles, fuel system, better heads, the entire front end, the gear spacing, and resale… there’s pros and cons to both. I think buy what you want because honestly they’re all awesome cars!

@@The_Drive_Inside I mean...yeah...great cars...but the resale isnt a good argument because SS has a fantastic resale....when you can trade a 2019 2ss in 6k over what you financed it for with twice the miles on it.....I don't know if thats an issue.

@@The_Drive_Inside dont get me wrong...if I had the means and the choice...I'd absolutely pick a gen 6 ZL1...its my favorite car... but If this were going to be my daily....SS all the way. I just dont think the ZL1 is worth it for "most" people... for under 40k you can get into a sub 4 second 0-60 car that can get as close to 200mph as most drivers should get with minor upgrades... if we are being honest....you are basically paying 70k+ for a Camaro with an LT4 that performs like a 2016+ C7 Z51 with an LT1 that might be a little cheaper insurance wise to own.... there really is not much difference (for most people) aside from preference, that would make the ZL1 that much more advantageous over the SS. Having said that...i LOVE your car and your content brother.

Oohhhhh… silver too 😮‍💨

Whoaaa that’s got to be a lot of bumper to bumper traffic…I’d bet I could drain the tank in about 2hrs of hard driving. But I love it to much so I’ll pay it

@@The_Drive_Inside oh yeah, bumper to bumper traffic is all too common in NY, that and a lot of red lights and stop signs and now 24/7 speed cams so we HAVE TO slow down then give er gas again after passing it, terrible

Same…there’s a bunch of tiny upgrades you get the more and more I dive into this car. Very similar and very different at the same time…and then there’s the looks 🤤

Iowa…10 mins from Des Moines

Better

@@The_Drive_Inside Better? With more weight on the front of the car owning to the supercharger and additional heat exchangers/cooling and worse center of gravity... on the same oem tire? Sounds like you never pushed your SS 1LE if you think the ZL1 handles better.

@@FL50ssp oh come on now😂…I BEAT that SS 1LE for almost 50,000 miles…the LT4 is actually lighter than the LT1. But I got my SS 1LE up to 162mph and about 4 sets of rear tires. The ZL1 definitely handles better. The SS 1LE is a sleeper for $48,000 FOR SURE. Way underrated

@@The_Drive_Inside You need a fact check here... LT4 is heavier than Gen V LT1 and as I mentioned in my first reply SS 1LE handles better/more nimble than ZL1... not ZLE, but your car. I stand by my comment about you never pushing either the SS 1LE of ZL1 too hard, otherwise you'd have a differnt opinion here. Let's see some of yout road course exploits to back up your claims.

@@FL50ssp I made a video on this like last year or so kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7ZjkpB9m9DNdKc.html

Since then I’ve added another 250hp (887hp) crank and the fuel mileage hasn’t really changed from bone stock

Better MPG than a 2000's V6 Honda 😂

What is the range on the Hellcat?

Like 13 on a good day

Generally like 9-10 on average for me though

Also I love the ZL1, I’ve had a Manual Rapid Blue ZL1 1LE on order since Sept of last year, they pushed it to a 2023 model year now and still have yet to pick up the order

2SS doesn’t come with blind spot monitoring?

@@The_Drive_Inside the 2SS does have active blind spot monitoring and rear view mirror/display like a ZL1.

LME made 1018hp to the wheel (1221hp crank) with the 1.7 blower that’s the absolute max! But you can make some awesome numbers that you can daily… my methanol kit fixed the heat problems too! The SS is a different car and I honestly miss it. My goal is to own both!

If you get the SS 1LE with copper free break system, you get the same front/rear rotors, as wells as calipers a ZL1 has.

@@levelup3426 they looks close. The BCD copper free are the ct5 V blackwing caliper and rotors not zl1
