I like Lethal Camaro's stuff. He's a stand up guy and helps a lot of folks out with his videos. Doesn't come off as a DB at all.

Kinda bothered me how that guy portrayed that "chevy dud" as the top camaro person in the nation. I feel like that person is located in Michigan. I could be wrong. Oh...I'm native to Ky.

Watching other popular Youtuber cover this subject, some have come out and said it's closer to the high end of that scale. If one was to be able to make 100K+ a year and all you do is make videos, that's not a bad gig.

Also, if you look at the more popular youtube car channels, it's more about their lifestyle and not technical information. I can't stand TJ Hunt and Tyler Failko (do not watch his stanced C5 videos you will cry) and yet they all have 300K subs. I guess most of us are old enough to skip through most of the daily personal BS and just want to get to the goodies.

Wow, the amount of hate and misinformation is unbelievable. GuitarmageddonZL1 is a part of this community and contributes a decent bit here IMO. His content is sure as sh*t more productive and engaging than most of the posts I see from you guys. Also, if you believe his videos, and I do, he is working hard to afford what he does and hasn't been handed a single dollar from mom and dad. Thats about as American as you can get. Hard for me to see a reason to hate that...

The content is good, but I can't stand the click bait titles.

I'm not an authority on all things Chevy nor Camaro in general. Actually I'm no better than most. Guitarmegeddon is just another enthusiast . There are inaccurate bits of information in his vlogs just as there are with anything else. There's a certain bit of selfish promotion going on too. Chevy Dude is guilty of it too. These folks have chosen to do this as part of their business. All else aside I don't care what you put in your videos. I don't watch most of them because I don't expect to find credible information that I'm willing to base my decision on from some random kid in PA, or a hyped up salesman who wants to sell cars. Neither of them have my best interest in mind. I'd prefer to listen to people like Becky for her selfless acts of generosity or NB2017ZL1 for his acts of kindness, lethal Camaro, or maybe a handful of other real Camaro enthusiast who post what they believe to be relevant info others will find useful. Videos are entertaining. If you want useful info go to the reference section of the library. The two are mutually exclusive

I agree with that 100%. I think Street Speed is rubbing off on him.

GM announced 11 speed auto for ZL1.

Well actually they are adding reverse to the A10 so technically that's 11.

I saw it on you tube.

I agree with this, his latest video is "Don't drive a new Camaro ZL1 in the snow!"... the ZL1 never leaves his garage, and more than have the video is him driving his jeep in the snow. While that's fine, the clickbait stuff is annoying as hell.

I don't really understand the hate here, a lot of it just looks like jealously. If you don't like the content, don't watch it. Simple as that. I can't blame them with the income potential of YouTube. I don't vlog or make a whole lot of videos that are interesting to other people (most of my videos are of me tracking my car) but I make a couple hundred dollars every few months off of views. I'm not going to get rich doing it but I figure if I can make a few dollars then why not. It'll pay for my gas for one session at the track

Yup, that's the general theme of YouTube unfortunately, along with click bait thumb nail images for the video.
