2010 Chevrolet Camaro V6 stick shift - Drive Time review

[gt201250]

Who cares about 0-60 on a V6? Get the V8 if you want speed.

[GUmmYbear1257]

lawl i have 2012 camaro its auto but it also has paddle shifters wich makes it almost like a stick and its hella fun to use. i didnt know 2010 didnt have them, lawl that would suck to only have it automatic!

[rubberwoody]

i prefer the stick and ball type shift sticks

[iHATEyou168]

its so dirty outside, but the car is spotless, wtf in the rain my car turns to shit

[P8NTBALL60]

NEW YORK! <3

[EthansRidealongs]

@stevehammes where in upstate NY are you? im also from Upstate NY..

[THCIFilms]

drove this at work, fuckin raw.

[CarbineGuy]

For the same price of this V6 manual, you can get a Mustang 5.0 with a manual trans, and 412 horses

[Storm7289]

@CarbineGuy even better theyre underrated for 435hp

[stevehammes]

@9Skateboard7 Calm down, sparky.

[jimP71]

@9Skateboard7 this is how one learns weather or not a car will "standup" in our frosty climate

[jakebrian12345]

@9Skateboard7 hes only reving it to probably around 4000 rpm which isnt that high

[9Skateboard7]

why the hell would you get a v6 camaro man up my mini van is v6

[rex669]

auto is so LAME

[SnugglePuma]

I never understand why people buy automatic cameros and mustangs. I guess that's because dumb people buy cameros and mustangs :P

[9Skateboard7]

@SnugglePuma you sound dumb automatic's are more fun to drive and you posted that ridiculous comment because you can't drive stick

[SnugglePuma]

@9Skateboard7

Um no, I only drive stick :P

[9Skateboard7]

@SnugglePuma so whats wrong with these cars besides being v6

[SnugglePuma]

@9Skateboard7

Ugly, heavy, sloppy handling, like pickup trucks of the sports car world, made in mexico and overpriced.

[CupofPhenol]

@SnugglePuma They're made in Canada.  Engines built in St.Catharines, and assembly in Oshawa. Not Mexico!

[brandonsayholla]

get the v8

[broodcaster07]

well maybe you shouldnt floor it when your in snow.... just a thought..

[TheHeavyMetald00d]

I have this model of the car in an automatic and i's still plenty fun to drive, though my previous car was Honda Civic which I hated.

[supastone00]

@TheHeavyMetald00d how u hated the look probally just buy a body kit and why on would u buy a automatic its stupid it uses more gas u get less control try going 110 and go adead and turn see if u flip or not and the camaro has the most blindspots ive ever had to deal with and its gas mileage is what 18 and a civic is 29to 30 stuipd u know nothing when it comes to cars

[TheHeavyMetald00d]

@supastone00 You take both youtube and other peoples opinions too seriously.That being said I didnt like the handeling of the civic, I didnt like the quality of really anything in the interior and it all just felt plastic. It was a fine first car but I didnt pick it out, it was given it. The gas milage is shit in the Camaro Im not arguing that and I'm also not arguing that auto is better than manual, in fact I never made an argument at all I only stated that I own this car and I like it.

[trice187]

@TheHeavyMetald00d Haha sometimes you just gotta let 'em know lol

[TheHeavyMetald00d]

@supastone00 Also, why do I need to be going 110 miles an hour and suddenly need to make a turn? Im not racing the car. I also never said I know a whole lot about cars, because I really don't. I can drive one, and I have some general knowledge about cars but I'm not a mechanic, or have ever done any work to my car. Not everyone has to buy a shit box and supe it up. I have no intrest in doing that, why would I get a body kit on a car I don't like driving when I can just get a car I already like?

[Infernobowler300]

As fun to drive as a Malibu? Really? You're comparing a Malibu to a Camaro? Shame Shame Shame on you.

[demarcos69]

I love the front of this car looks like a bully

[3r1k510]

the reverse and the top left kinda throws me off

[vinylcollector08]

The Camaro is a waste of Money

If you want Performance, Get the Mustang

If you want to get a lot of looks from other people,originality and comfortable driving, Get the Challenger

[byronmohawk]

@vinylcollector08 If you want to beat a V6 Camaro in performance and mileage, and you don't care that everyone will still be looking at the Camaro, get the Mustang V6.

If you want everyone to notice you, and you don't care that the Mustang is .5sec faster and gets 2mpg more, get the Camaro V6.

If you want a truly beautiful and comfortable car that all will notice, and you don't care that both the Camaro V6 and Mustang V6 could destroy you in every performance aspect, get the Challenger V6.

[s3thisc00l]

@vinylcollector08 Mustang is a plastic piece of shit, have fun getting in a wreck with that car. Friend and me was going 30 Mph on a City road in a 2009 Shelby GT and it was snowy. A car skid through a stop sign because of ice and hit the front left fender.... Not only did the engine almost fall out but the everything was completely destroyed and its outrageous to fix. Camaro may be heavy, but it makes up for it with a sturdy, "look at this car" design. Mustangs are overated and expensive.. GL

[tommyv331992]

@vinylcollector08 best 30,000 bucks i've ever spent. i don't know what brand of glue you're sniffing.

[vinylcollector08]

@tommyv331992

Really dont care what you say, but the Camaro is trashy looking and needs a new bodystyle. For $30,000, you should of spent you money on something a little more worthy. Still The Mustang and Challenger is the way to go nowadays, nobody cares about Camaros anymore

[tommyv331992]

@vinylcollector08 well hey that's cool that you don't care what i say. shouldn't let words hurt you, especially on youtube anyway. but i mean, if you stand by your beliefs, then why bother going onto a video that is solely about a car you despise, only to badmouth a vehicle and knowing you'll get some shit back? i mean, hey i don't hate the mustangs or challengers, i wish to have either of those in the future. i'd rather spend 30k on a cool car than countless hours posting comments. just sayin'.

[vinylcollector08]

@tommyv331992

Don't care, You get you money's worth with a Challenger or Mustang, its all im trying to say, you can like all the camaros and tjhats cool with me, but im just giving you a little heads up

[tommyv331992]

@vinylcollector08 a lot of cars out there are worth the money. in my opinion it's the Challenger, Mustang, and the Camaro. they're all great cars and each one is a little different to suit the kind of driver you want to be. what just annoyed me a little bit was how you rip on Camaros on a Camaro video. but it's all cool now.

[uri112189]

@vinylcollector08 hahaha ur crazy i have a camaro i get compliments everywhere i go.

[richu27]

1 guy doesn't know to drive stick shift.

[HamadHHAG]

i think when they buy it they choose the engine block heater

[iloveKianaDexter]

@bananabeam: haha I'm not European but I have a funny story like the one you told. I really love manual transmissions in any car, especially my Camaro, and I'm really used to driving them, because all my cars are manual. So one day my parents asked me to take them to dinner, and I climbed into the drivers seat pushed down on the brake and turned the car on. Then I put it in drive and pulled out and as soon as I was going to shift to "second" I pushed in on the brake rather quickly, stopping the

[HamadHHAG]

i love that manual 6 speed

[jonathansallons]

tint the windows dude when its hot the inside of ur car isnt so hot

[morecowbell69]

"A set of Blizzaks would be in oreder if you drive in a place like this"??

I'd say a winter car with front wheel, or 4WD, would be in order if you drive in a place like that. I grew up in the Northeast, and RWD cars were no fun in the winter.

Okay....they were fun in an unplowed parking lot, but it wasn't fun when you actually had to get the hell out of your driveway and get to work.

[George87MG]

great review steve hammes! im planning to get a camaro hopefully next month. i cant afford the ss :( so im going with the fully loaded RS 2LT, but im still decideing between stick and auto. i just bearly learned how to drive stick. which would you perfer to choose to have the american muscle feeling?

[Spritizzle]

I just drove my 2010 v8 camaro for the first time. The gas is touchy and the clutch is really grabby.... this car has some balls.

[dryan2]

Lol, lowepro gloves? Did you steal then from the videographer?

[wichertj]

1:30....thats what she said

[nigaplzitzron]

@wichertj loolollolo the stitching part too?

[TheHawaiiantiger]

Maybe GM will super charge or throw a blower on this thing. But maybe not. They wouldn't want it to compete with the SS model. After market mods would be interesting for this v 6 though. It's got potential.

[bananabeam]

Hahaha,you American people LOL!!

"Driving with a stick." ...hehe.. Btw: Imagine the horror when a European driver borrow a automatic car and forgets it and then misstakes the brake pedal for the clutch and hits it to the floor while reaching for the stick....Oh,the horror and confusion when you are hanging in the seatbelt for 1/2 second and you're thinking WTF is happening!!?

[ricepaddy69]

Oh wow, I really like this review not only because it was so informative, as is every review you do, but also because you're in front of the camera instead of just behind it. Quite refreshing. Not that you have to, but I think it would be awesome if you had a few shots of you in the driver's seat reviewing the car mixed in with your usual voiceovers, if for only a few models you test.

[Scorpion7substance]

jesus I can't drive stick, somebody help please!!!

How much extra HP will you get with stick???? , help please!!!

[amays86]

@Scorpion7substance are you retarded? you don't get any extra HP by choosing a stick shift...the V6 camaro is 304 HP...

[RiceKiller1986IROC]

Lol @v6 300hp? It should be a v8 with at least 350hp,even the pontiacs have 350hp out of the factory.Nice car,inside looks sweet!

[rossjor6]

is it a 5 spd

[afr126]

@rossjor6 6 speed

[SalvadoreanKOV]

you don't need to remember the #'s and R its all in your head .. Well first you have to get used to it then you'll remember and don't need it.

[digitalrebelxti]

I love Steve's reviews!

[rforracing]

Stupid stick shift doesnt even have the numbers and R embedded on it.

[Mondafied]

The numbers are located by the stickshift. You really have to look at it once then should remember it.

[Charles2337]

I like the Camaro in black =P

[bajabusta]

terrific review!, I agree completely w/ the driving dynamic difference w/ adding just a manual transmission! Look forward to your future reviews!

[snowysnowcones]

Good review, I love your reviews.

[stevehammes]

bg1379: Thanks for the feedback! I always look forward to your comments.

[bg1379]

Interesting new format. . . . its going to take some getting used to.
