Drives: 2022 Camaro 2SS 1LE
Join Date: Sep 2018 Location: VA Performance Data Recorder Thoughts?

In Nov 2020 I bought a 1SS 1LE, no other options. I kind of wanted the PDR but for the deal I got I could live without it. Well, fast forward 8 months and I lemon law'd the car with only 1300 miles on it because my f$#%ing dealer service techs kept f#$^ing up a botched engine replacement and I was tired of dealing with their BS. I loved the car and hate the dealer.

Well Im thinking about ordering a 2022 so I can get it exactly the way I want it, and I wanted to get some feedback on the PDR. I plan on doing a little AutoX, but also like the idea of a built in dash cam (one of my other issues is Im 99% certain someone from the delaer went joy riding in my car but I have no evidence). So I am thinking I want that PDR in my next Camaro, but I'm looking for input from other owners. What do you all think? Worth it?

This thread has some detail on the valet mode you'd need to enable in order to catch a mechanic taking your car for a spin - seems it won't do it automatically.

2004YZFR1 - The engine failed at 500 miles - I think it spun a bearing, but not 100% sure, the dealership never did a full post mortem, they just pulled the oil pan and saw "a lot of metal". The new engine suffered the valve spring failure (which I specifically asked the service writer to inquire about before they put the motor in). After that I kept finding problems with the car from the shoddy quality of work - parts damaged, parts missing, exhaust leaks, etc. I ran out of patience having to take it back every few days to have some new issue fixed so I lemoned it.

Thanks to everyone else, I think I'm sold on the PDR. I found out a local dealer is getting a 2022 1SS 1LE with PDR soon, and its in the color I want. As long as they don't have some BS market adjustment I'll probably end up picking it up.

I have the PDR, it is nice, but it's a little irritating to use as a dash cam because you have to start the recording everytime you drive. It's definitely a little more purpose designed for track days, but it does work on the street.

PDR was one of those things I thought I could live without. I bought mine used and had it on there, so was a nice bonus. It's come in handy a few times making pulls in Mexico and when I happen to come across a Gen5 Viper SRT and few weeks later a C63S AMG

For the last year of the Camaro, I will be adding it to my order now. I can't comment on the dash cam part, like was mentioned, it seems like it would be a pain to use as such.
