2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review

This is best car in the world for me...

[@TonyH2468]

I'll never understand why so many people hate on this car. Obviously its not as nice as a classic 67, or 77 Camaro. But I think this car is great.

[@RenownedGamer]

personally I prefer the newest gen camaros (idk if the 2014 models are considered a diff gen than the 2013 because they really have almost identical bodies) but considering I was born in '97 I can't really appreciate the older models as much as other people can. I drive a 2013 camaro 2ls and honestly love the car. Looking back I would have rather gotten a 1ls (stick shift) rather than automatic with paddles but its still insanely fun to drive and has effective engine breaking which is rare in cars like the $24,000 2ls.

[@CoreyForeside]

I love every last thing about this car, but that hood is my favorite. I have always loved the Camaro's retro interior, too. Great build quality. Those quad pipes are gorgeous as well. I never thought I would buy a Camaro over a Corvette, but I think I'm gonna have to chose this over the Corvette Grand Sport.

[@ShelbyDude1]

Being a GT500 owner, I find the ZL1 to be an awesome addition to the American muscle scene. Close competition encourages automotive engineers to strive for better performance---benefiting everyone interested in owning these cars. Bravo ZL1...

I recently bought a 1978 Trans AM SE Gold Edition, and it has the 6.6 400 in it. Probably about the same gas mileage as this, and I agree, totally worth it. When you're driving something like that, it goes from being a chore, to something you wish you could do more!

I'd love to see a review of this against the new 2013 Shelby GT500, they are both awesome cars and I hope both manufacturers continue to make them for years to come because then they will create more competition between them and these muscle cars creating even more amazing machines.

[@zxtenn]

I'm old school as i had 3 1st generation Camaros but i must admit the new muscle cars are so much more refined and easier to live with, no adjusting solid lifters, etc.

[@josiahrubio8238]

My 2013 was good to me, but I gotta say, at the same time I don’t regret trading it in.

[@carguy1car117]

Damn I've been thinking about buying on of these for a while (yes in 2019) this video helped me want to buy it even more. Maybe I'll trade in my mustang or just have a mustang and a Camaro?

[@underground5682]

Trade in the mustang and use the extra money to upgrade it man.

[@Real_MisterSir]

I'm considering picking one up sometime in the future, as a car I'd grow old with. I don't see much reason for why I would ever swap it out for something else. Everything "wrong" with it can be fixed, and it ticks all my basic boxes for what I want in a car. But it's gotta be the manual version tho.

The automatic is an added option, you can still buy it with standard stick shifter. The auto option is just to improve gas mileage when leisurly driving with an option to use the paddle shifters if you feel the need to do so. If you don't think you would ever use the automatic feature you can save yourself about $1500 bucks and not get that option.

[@MLGSU5P3CT]

Auto = faster.

Not necessarily, you lose a little bit of power through an auto

Overall great overview. Phenomenal Car! Auto trans is a 6L90 though. 6 for 6 gears. A 4L90 would be a 4 speed and I doubt believe GM has ever built a 4L90. 4L60, 4L65 (C5 Vette/4th gen F-body) and 4L80 for the HD trucks

[@lelxh03]

Autos are actually faster in 1/4 mile by 3 tenths of second

[@RenownedGamer]

Manual might be more fun (I agree) but is not practical for racing

[@RenownedGamer]

***** no, automatic transmission preps gears so you can smoothly shift and have much more control over the car, not to mention you do not have to let out on the gas to shift in automatic regardless of using paddles or just the car's normal transmission if you're going to street race with a zl1 it doesn't really matter because most people don't have a car that can beat a zl1 in a drag race (most street races are light to light) but on the track manual transmission will hold you back

Some people just don't want manuals. Or look at it from another point of view, for ex. it would good for people who might have a case of severe arthritis in their legs and can't push a clutch, or if someone only has one arm due to some type of accident and is unable to use a stick shift. There are many good factors for having an automatic, even for a cool car like the ZL1 Camaro.
