The new Camaro ZL1 / 1LE is, fundamentally, the best of what GM's Performance division can do with the sixth-generation Camaro platform, while still having a road-legal vehicle. It features the 650 HP LT4 Supercharged 6.2L V8 found in the Corvette Z06, but with a much larger frontal area for better cooling and more consistent power. It has Multimatic Spool Valve dampers, like real race cars. You can only get it with a six-speed manual gearbox, and on the Nurburgring, it's faster than supercars not even a couple of years old. This car is, put simply, insanely fast. But does it work as a road car? Do I want one? Let's find out.
I was allowed to make this video thanks to the kind people at NBC Sports, who paid my airfare, hotels, and meals while in North Carolina. See my track test of the Camaro ZL1 as part of the "What Makes Fast" episode of /DRIVE (the TV Show) coming this September exclusively on NBC Sports!

I'm a Ford guy, but the one thing I love about Chevy is that they are not afraid to drop huge and powerful V8 engines into their sports cars. I won't mention Dodge's vehicles because it's no longer an American company.

@floridamaddogg 5 лет назад

I love Dodge! I own a Hellcat. Yes, the Hellcat engine is built in Windsor, Ontario, but it is claimed by many as being a top built engine in quality and most measures. Actually, Windsor is a place many great engines were built. Ever heard of a Windsor 351? Ever wonder what kind of engine the Mustangs had years ago? Windsor engines? Lol....see my point. Dodge Challenger best looking muscle car by a mile in the U.S. period! But I'm a car lover and love all cars. Just keep it real. Don't leave out Dodges. Hellcat faster than all Mustangs and Camaros out right now in straightline. Not too shabby if you ask me, plus best riding and cruising car too.

@dlg5485 7 лет назад

I know I'll be called a pussy, but I wouldn't want this much power with RWD. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for copious horsepower, as long as you can put it down effectively, which is easier and more confidence inspiring with AWD. In my opinion, this car is WAY too much for 99% of people, even enthusiasts, to handle. I think the 455HP SS 1LE is the one to get for most enthusiasts, and it's nearly half the cost of this monster.

@deeznutz2646 6 лет назад

I have to be honest. I've been watching this guy for years. He contradicts himself so many times it's very, very hard to take him seriously.

The ZL1/1LE will destroy the GT350R no matter who's driving! The GT350R ran a 7.32 at the Nurburgring! The ZL1/1LE ran it in 7.13! That's 19 full seconds faster! The GT350R couldn't beat the ZL1/1LE on any track! Another fact, a pro driver named Bob Weiss ran a 7:13 at the Nurburgring the same day it ran a 7:16. But they couldn't document it because it didn't have a go pro in the car. Ford has nothing that can compete with the ZL1/1LE period!

1:31 Incorrect. I'm in my garage looking at my new 2018 ZL1 1LE right now. It has 325s in the back (not 315s). Nice Batman watch (Rolex GMT-Master II, with a black and blue bezel, on an oyster bracelet). I have two and just picked up the new Batgirl (updated version, on jubilee). I also just bought a new Hyper Metallic Blue ZL1 1LE only 6 days ago...less than a month after I sold my red 2018 ZL1! I thought I'd never buy a "cheesy" Camaro, but they have knocked it out of the park with the sixth gen, especially with the ZL1 and ZL1 1LE. Now it looks like they will cancel production of the Camaro (for the second time in history) after the 6th gen run (so, likely 2023 or sooner). Sales have been dismal lately. They already canceled plans for the Z/28 and moved Al Oppenheiser to the electric vehicle division. If the cancellation rumors hold true, then values should hold a lot better...and possibly go up! Speaking of values, if you got your Batman at retail, like I did, then you know what a great investment that watch is!

@aramgaribyan6248 6 лет назад

Do you drive on the ring to get to work? No? So who gives a shit lol. 15 seconds faster on a 12.9 mile long track with long straights and it barely beats the GT350R by 15 seconds? Given the fact that it's supercharged with 125 more hp and 200 more torque, not that impressive. And it's a newer car by 2 or more years. The GT350R beats the regular ZL1 in smaller tracks with more turns, like Willow Springs, if I recall correctly from Motortrend. Either way, both amazing cars, can't go wrong with either of them.

@ccz4555 6 лет назад

Aram Garibyan oops, your bias is showing. The gt350 beat the older gen 5 z28 and all you mustang nut huggers go crazy. The SS 1le keeps up with the gt350 and this zl1 kills it. and did you say only 15 seconds? wow you must know absolutely nothing about racing, that's a different league entirely.

@aramgaribyan6248 6 лет назад

oops, your lacking of basic English comprehension is showing. Clearly you didn't read what I wrote at all. Not to mention it's the ZL1 1LE which is what, 3 years newer? Compare the regular ZL1 and the GT350R, which have similar MSRP's, and you get less than a 3 second difference in lap times on the 'ring. Oh my God, THREE SECOND DIFFERENCE?!? GG time to buy another car, what a piece of trash. How will I ever daily drive this very rare, special, and highly sought-after car in traffic in CALIFORNIA, when it got only a 7:32:00 on a track in Germany. G_G

@ccz4555 6 лет назад

@JokerisWild4 7 лет назад

The car doesn't rev as high as a Voodoo but it doesn't need to, it has mid range grunt with the supercharger. You can make it louder with headers and exhaust if that's what connects you to the car, which is probably what I would do first thing to let that giant engine breathe better. Keep up the great videos Matt!

@al151 7 лет назад

Artie Rodriguez GT350R is old news. That car needs serious weight loss and butt load of torque. Since Z28 is gone GT350 can't hang with the current competition. You shouldn't buy a car just for an engine. It should have the complete package just like this ZL1 1LE. Even the upcoming 2018 mustang gt is going to be faster in a straight line and can be easily modded to surpass the GT350 on the road coarse.

@sammoon2906 7 лет назад

al Do you sell crack, or just smoke it? The GT350 is just an engine, yet this is a 'whole package' HOW? The GT350 is as modified, or more, than this Camaro, how do you figure it's just an engine package, whereas this Camaro has some manner of modifications that a regular person cannot do to a Camaro SS? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the ZL1 package puts the LT4 engine(also used in Corvette) into the Camaro, and the 1le package is suspension and aero bits. So, I really think you have it backwards: the GT350 motor and suspension are only available in the GT350, whereas GM will sell me an LT4 and 1le suspension components I could, if I wanted, install into a Camaro V6....

@johnathonlevesque3784 7 лет назад

The new mustangs look alot like a Maserati. It doesnt look like a muscle/pony car any more. I like the 2013 styling over the newer ones because it still looked American made, they now look like European

@yoddy0 7 лет назад

Idk if the gt350R is a joke in performance or if the camaro has really just out done the competition but the gap in performance is to far if you are a serious driver to consider the gt350R and in my opinion the body of the mustang is okay but I miss the older 12-13 body style mustangs that actually look american.

@sammoon2906 7 лет назад

Andrew Ochoa Well, the GT350 has a engine that's a liter smaller, and no supercharger, so being 15 seconds behind that Camaro ZL1 makes sense. The Nismo GTR is faster than the Camaro by about ten seconds, so is the Camaro a joke comparatively? Personally, I would take the GT350 everyday, slower or not, because it's normally aspirated, has an amazing motor unique to it. I'm not sure what "looking American" means, other than the Camaro is still, and the 2005-2014 Mustang were retro designs, so pretty much a reliving of their most popular models of the past. I think the current Mustang is, as always, setting the pace for the others: I'll bet the next Camaro looks modern, like the Mustang does now. Same with the Challenger. No matter what, this debate will continue for a LONG time...

@sammoon2906 7 лет назад

Fury Trans Am LS1 Meh. I'm a Corvette fanatic, or was until GM made a supercharged Z06, the Z06 was like Porsches GT3, a high strung, normally aspirated track machine. Not only did the supercharger destroy the Z06 mission, but the car overheats so much, owners are suing, and those plastic aero bits looked like crap. No, another supercharged Corvette doesn't get me excited. At all. To be honest, I'd take a base C7 Stingray, or your Trans Am, over a supercharged Z06....

@TheReaperLSX 7 лет назад

I understand Naturally Aspirated is definitely the way to go since its the engines true power and not being assisted with forced induction and your dealing with less issues cause superchargers tend to cause heat soak sometimes and crazy thing is the LT5 in the C4 ZR1 was Naturally Aspirated and was a monster and didn't need forced induction goes to show how important it was.

@hikeskool 6 лет назад

"It doesn't stir the soul." This is some cosmic bullshit. I wish I could understand the car "journo" world, a world in which the car that is objectively faster, more refined, more comfortable, and more readily available at a dealer close to MSRP than its competitor "loses", yet cars with the exact same characteristics (new M5 over the current-gen CTS-V, for example) "win" and are praised for "being able to do it all."

GT350R = whacky one off motor that will be expensive, markup pricing and limited production on that motor. 1LE common LS/LT motor w existing aftermarket supercharger and internal support. Ferrari stirs the soul with its flat plane but the sound of winning doesnt matter when your winning, just ask Ford GT from Lemans and now the ZL1. This common mans firing order/crank offset LT v8 slapped king Enzo by 10sec at Green Hell. Have fun over paying a ford dealer for a martini glass voodoo engine, cute 3 way show off blinkers and annoying loud fanboy exhaust. The stang is pretty though, but so is the Enzo. They said the Subaru engine has soul they said, so after I wore out my EVO RS I did what they said and got an Sti because I heard it had soul. Sure sucks now after stage 3 and its not as fun as the soul-less 4G63 Evo. Miss my old Evo that had no soul! Dont go by the internet rumors go by the numbers.

You said that this car "seems to be well made" ?? "But it does'nt "stir the soul"??? I suppose the ford GT 350 dealer mark-ups, excessive vibrations and defective engines, and excessive oil consumption all contribute to your soul being "stirred" all the way to the stratosphere. No one should let this fellow tell them what car to buy.Guys like this "know it all" are a dime a dozen.

@evanescent0311 5 лет назад

the DRAMA in these cars is what draws me to them so much. I had an SS 1LE and loved it. ended up getting an M6 Gran Coupe which which was a beautiful, very fast and nice car to be in but I've missed the drama. Looking at my next trackable dad-car has a list of things like M3, Camaro ZL1 +/- 1LE, 911 992, or Cayman GTS or GT4. thankful to have such first world problems but despite the refinement of the german cars, they still lack the drama making the SS 1LE or ZL1 +/- 1LE so much fun.

@transam2002ws6 7 лет назад

It doesn't stir Matt's soul but it gives him the giggles. Also the ZL1 walked the 350R when Motor Trend took them out on the track. Matter of fact, the Camaro SS 1LE that is 71hp shy of the Mustang 350R. Ran the same time as the 350R at Big Willow Springs with Randy Pobst behind the wheel. So without a doubt the ZL1 1LE would out run the 350R on a track. At the end of the day. It just comes down to what you like the most or whats your brand loyalty.

@wrexicate4516 7 лет назад

3,500 rpm's at 75mph in 6th gear? Are you sure? With gearing like that this thing wouldn't even hit 150mph.

@bigbuckeye76 7 лет назад

Personally I wouldn't go for either the 350R or 1LE, I'd go for a Z06.

@usernamealreadytaken770 7 лет назад

Well to be fair, the GT350R doesn't really compete with either the ZL1/Z06 because those are supercharged. The 350R competes more with the Corvette Grand Sport since both are track focused cars with NA V8's. And if you don't include markups, the 350R is at a similar price point to the Grand Sport anyways.

@Casey_J96 7 лет назад

If it's only offered in manual they should take those stupid rev match paddles off. Make it a switch/button somewhere else. I feel like it'd just be in the way, like Matt keeps resting his hands on them out of habit making your grip on the wheel awkward. And it's not like he's going to decide last second that he doesn't feel like rev matching. No need to have it on the wheel.

@AndyGarcia-ch1ci 7 лет назад

CJSchecter96 well the automatics all have the paddle shifting, makes no sense to make 2 desperate steering wheels. That's what keeps the costs down. And a paddle is much easier to use in my opinion that taking a hand off the wheel and possibly your eyes to press a button vs just tapping a paddle

@DJ369-Miami 7 лет назад

I had an actual 2017 ZL1 until yesterday. Traded it in for a Viper. The ZL1 is a very nice car. Can't say anything negative about it, only that I got an automatic when a manual would have made much more sense. Only get the 1LE if you will actually go to the track regularly.

Get the base ZL1 within next 1-2 years. It doesn't sell well, so even new, you should be able to get a good discount. Definitely $5-10k less than MSRP. Initial depreciation will be 30-50% over few years, but over the course of 10-20years, I think it'll retain the value and will be a "classic" in due time.

@vernonprice5986 7 лет назад

If you don't go to the track then you NEVER wanted a ZL1 1LE. The ZL1 1LE is a TRACK CAR. There's no possible reason you could have wanted the ZL1 1LE if you never take your cars to the track.

When somebody doesn't like something you like ,..it doesn't mean they're hating...thats an idiotic nonsense stance that millennials (or those with the millennial disease) take because they always think they're right and usually they're WAY wrong. And by disagreeing with me...you do understand that YOUR hating ...right? especially with your little junior high school comment. The car is fucking ugly...you don't like hearing it....get off the web. As far as not being able to afford it...i have 2 Lexus GS350's , and a 4th gen 2002 anniversary edition SS with 691rwhp and 655rwtq.

This will more than likely destroy the Gt500 around a track. Pretty much just like the last gen Gt500 and ZL1

@S2kTi 7 лет назад

The gt500 is typically a highway monster and not so much a corner carver. Maybe they will change the design philosophy with the new one though. People seem to be more impressed with track performance than straight line speed nowadays. I think chevy is doing it right lately. Hopefully ford follows suit. They really just need a gt350 on steroids

@hahaLOLhaha72 7 лет назад

both of them have come a long way. most of us probably remember when the z28 and 350 were the cars for corners and the gt500 and zl1 were the drag racers. now the camaro handles well. im guessing the new gt500 will follow suit. these days its not going to cut it to have a one trick pony.

All car manufactures cross platform there engines, ford has the same v6 ecoboost in the new GT "supercar*" and the f150. The only engine i can think of is the DZ 302 (that ford copied)that was in the original Z28 (and yes ford coiped the 302 from chevy )

@fattygamer94 7 лет назад

The Ford GT has a new engine. Same twin turbo v6 concept, but completely new engine. Almost all companies use the same engine in multiple cars except when its they're "high-end" flagship car where they spend the money on R&D on new designs.

frank leary No, no they didn't. Ford had been producing the Windsor small block since 1961. The 302 version of it was made by simply stroking the 289 motor to 3.0 inches. The GM DZ 302 was made by destroking a 327. Ford didn't copy Chevy, and the fact of the matter is, the Ford engine was a FAR better motor; www.yellowbullet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1420490#/topics/1420490?page=2

Goku Kakarot What is with you people? Dodge has the exact same grille on EVERYTHING, and purposely styled the Avenger to look like the Charger. The Challenger AND Camaro are as close of copies to their most popular model years as they can make them; 1970 MY for the Challenger and 1969 MY for the Camaro.... BUT, add some corporate styling cues to Fords, and you people freak out like they're clones of one another??? SMH....
