Throttle House Camaro comparisons

Post by kevm14 »

Looks like a good channel. And here we go.

2019 Mustang EcoBoost vs Camaro 1LT // Four-Cylinder Pony Face Off
https://youtu.be/rnBoSuaNYik

2019 Mustang GT PP2 vs Camaro SS 1LE // Battle Of The Track Packs
https://youtu.be/DGH3XoBXd0M

2019 Dodge Hellcat Redeye vs Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 // Horsepower Wars
https://youtu.be/EX5d_mA9OaQ

The ZL1 doesn't really belong in a HP wars video, and also the GT500 is a thing now. But this video is from June so I'll cut them some slack.

Haven't watched any yet. I expect favorable Camaro comments in all. Actually each test will reveal different things, relative to the competition. Maybe most interested in SS 1LE vs Mustang Pee-Pee Two. Right in the upper end of the normal V8 market. I already know I'd buy a ZL1 over a Hellcat (well, Challenger anyway...get back to me on the Charger). And I wouldn't be buying any 4 cylinder pony cars. Doesn't mean it doesn't matter, just that it doesn't matter to me.

Didn't have to scroll too far in the comments to find what I was expecting:
I owned many Stangs over the years:
‘86 GT
‘86 LX (vert...still own)
‘87 GT
‘03 Mach 1
‘11 GT500 SVTPP (traded a ‘08 M3 on it...worst decision I ever made in cars)

I drove the ‘18 2SS 1LE and the car won me over...it’s really a great car and the 2SS has blind spot monitoring that really mitigates any visual issues while using it as a daily driver. It’s such an awesome car, I highly encourage at least a look at these special cars before you plop down your hard earn $ for some ridiculous brand loyalty...you may miss out on a great ride.

I just drove the 1LE 850 miles from North Louisiana to Florida with my 11 yr old daughter (she LOVES the car) and it did wonderful all while getting 25.4 mpg...I couldn’t be more pleased with the car.

Just for Bill:
I bought the 1LE without knowing how to drive stick and drove it 1100 miles home. Amazing vehicle

Spoiler: They pretty much always preferred the Camaro to whatever it was being compared to.

The Hellcat vehicles do seem like a lot of fun. They really are factory versions of how I always envisioned an ultimate Caprice build would perform. But as I've said before, I'm not going to pay V3 money for something and NOT get a V3.
