It’s been almost a year since the market was officially introduced to the sixth-gen Camaro and right off the bat, it was obvious that this generation was going to be different. From every angle – be it the aggressive looks, the award-winning interior, or the behind-the-wheel experience – the revamped Camaro was extraordinary, compared to both its competitors and to its old self.Now, with nearly a year gone by since we common folk have been able to get our hands on them, we’re beginning to see more and more on the road and consequently hear more and more real-world feedback. We already had some seat-time with a few sixth-gens earlier this year, sampling a base 2.0 Turbo model and a drop-top V6, as well as driving cross-country in an RS-trimmed V6.
But when it comes to feedback, there’s no such thing as too much; whether they’re about events, cars or products, we like seeing the various perspectives and opinions different sources have. Good or bad, any sort of review can help us as enthusiasts get a better idea of what’s being offered.In the above video, we’re given the perspective of Jason Fenske of Engineering Explained – the widely-known source for easy-to-digest info on the inner workings of our cars. In typical fashion, he comprehensively walks through the video topic (a 2016 Camaro SS, in this case) from top to bottom.
His review begins with an assessment of the interior, in which he glosses over the many features and refinements that make the cabin a genuinely enjoyable place to be. Once he gets moving, he addresses the different aspects of the driving experience, such as steering input and cornering feel, throttle responsiveness, the flawless active rev-matching feature and the available driving modes. Each one is enough to incite a satisfactory grin and get us itching to be in his place.On paper, we’ve all been well aware that the new Camaro SS is one hell of a machine. Getting this play-by-play from Engineering Explained, however, helps reveal just how great it’d be to live with one on a daily basis. If you’re feelings toward the new generation of Camaro have been a bit on the fence, this video ought to help remedy any misguided notions.
