Peep the videos below to see more of the ZL1. If you liked any of the parts I installed on my car, check out the links below to snag them up for your 5th Gen ZL1.

Very nice ride bro………I think you’d get a kick out my 15’ ZL1 max effort FBO stock LSA dynoed at 869 rwhp…….it’s been remarkably reliable so far for 3 years since built for what it is……..however, I don’t daily it anymore. Love mine. Good luck with yours bro.

[@noahdunaway]

I owned a white 2015 ZL1 #785, it was an automatic with a sun roof and recaros. I wanted an automatic to race in our street legal class but it was too inconsistent without a lot of modifications to the supercharger cooling system so I sold it. I’m going to Georgia day after tomorrow to pick up a 2015 blue velvet metallic #566, stick shift with recaro’s, exposed carbon fiber hood insert and no sun roof for a daily driver.

[@cuzimaluzer777]

YES!!!

[@zacharybrunetto2815]

What up broski.. when you gonna hit the track again. My Z is on full e85. Don’t forget your tune 👍🏻

[@MrLSX]

Might be hitting it soon but I need a drag pack on the Z to really do anything. What do you mean don’t forget my tune?

[@anthonyreal7448]

Just got a 2013 zl1 I wanna make it more snappy

[@MrLSX]

Headers, CAI, DSX AUX pump, upper pulley, ID1050, E85. That will make her nice and snappy while still being comfortable to drive anywhere.

[@kmas8229]

How's the general reliability of these? Would perhaps buy one as a summer-car.

[@MrLSX]

Very reliable. Just like any other LS motor, everything is easy to service.

[@kmas8229]

@@MrLSX Awesome! Thanks for your reply, my dude. Appreciate it! Also, great video!

[@MrLSX]

@@kmas8229 Thanks brother, no problem!

[@noahdunaway]

The wheels are the same size on the black 10 spoke and silver 5 spoke.

[@ZLwh1ne]

Sooo fully loaded didn't come with recaros in 13? I'm asking because I have them but mine is a 2015 Cai and Kooks headers. Basically same

[@MrLSX]

Recaros weren’t an option for 12-13.

[@cuzimaluzer777]

@@MrLSX they're kinda uncomfortable tbh.

[@goat_life254]

@@cuzimaluzer777I’d trade plus cash if reasonable 😂 And Pacific Northwest

[@anthonyreal7448]

Are the injectors on this video stock?

[@MrLSX]

Yes, stock injectors.

[@04_venom4]

Hey bro quick question. What size rear rims do you have to fit 315

[@MrLSX]

Stock wheel off the ZL1.

[@coug341]

The stock size in the rears are 20x11. 315’s definitely work.

[@mississippimotorsports3286]

Victory red

[@blakeburns3277]

Racecar territory? Lol headers exhaust and a catch can is racecar territory?

[@fasnuf]

Hey bro, nice video. I hate my pad dust so thanks for the tip. I didn't know there was a track option for the car.

[@MrLSX]

Yes sir. Worlds of difference.

[@itsraheem]

this was a great quality video, I also love the cars you own!!!

[@MrLSX]

Thank you I appreciate that!

[@bigchungus1848]

It’s crazy how a few bolt ons can bring this car to over 600 horses

[@MrLSX]

Yes. This car is such a good all around drivers car already. But the simple boltons really change the personality on it.

[@Americafirst-i8q]

I like simplicity

[@MrLSX]

As do I 😆

[@toddkamp8626]

Nice car! I’ve got a 13 zl1 too! Curious as to what your mileage was when you changed the brakes? I’m considering doing them myself in the near future

[@MrLSX]

Thank you! Changed them at 53,000.

[@drufetti510]

Thinking about getting one. And I’m in the situation that’s it’s going to be my daily haha how expensive is insurance?

[@MrLSX]

Insurance isn’t bad, atleast for me. It’s only $128 a month.

[@joepenn8466]

Gorgeous Z you have!

[@MrLSX]

Thank you sir!

[@jrichieander6832]

I’m looking for a scat pack assassin I think this may be the one

[@MrLSX]

Oh easily.

[@La.Ron9]

bro a regular 5th gen ss fbo and gears is a scat assassin, add a cam and its damn near up there with hellcats, the zl1 is overkill lmao

[@ragtopdlxzl1]

lol... yeah I was looking at Challenger scatpak.. not even close...

[@richboulder253]

How many miles are on your ZL1 ? Do you mind me asking how much you paid for it . I have a all black 13 ZL1 with a upper pulley and exhaust and a tune … these things are a animal on the open highway . But I am thinking on selling mine it just mostly sits in garage .

[@MrLSX]

Currently has 53K miles. Picked it up in 2018 with 12K miles for $39K.

[@richboulder253]

Sweet man … are you still loving the car the same as when you bought it . I looked how you did when I pulled up and seen mine , signed those papers fast …lol . I seen you passed through Sacramento are you from there ? 39k is a good deal with 12 k miles

[@MrLSX]

@@richboulder253 Yea man; I love this thing. There is quite the story in the mere 40K miles I’ve put on it. I started loving it even more once I paid it off haha.

[@ragtopdlxzl1]

@@MrLSX Yep, I started with 21000 miles and am over 70000, bought in January 2019, ran like sh!t because the CAI filter wasn't installed properly at a Toyota dealer...lol... Gave $30000, drove for a while and decided to put it over 700whp and now with crazy time used cars it is worth exactly what I have in it, maybe more...even the new AWD van we bought there is slowly depreciating. The salesman was probably happier than a pig in sh!t!

[@ragtopdlxzl1]

Nice conversation friend...I too own a 13 ZL1 'vert... That I drive every chance I get. The silver/gray wheels we have are option lightweights... That collect dust even Hawk pads... Was thinking of putting 315's on the back and you seem to have them fitting... spacers? I have had mine awhile so on my third and maybe final round of engine mods. This last build we did all forged internals and stroked to 419. Except for being loud it is rather civil in traffic. Oh and that wickerbill functions on your car but on a convertible? Thanks for the content!

[@MrLSX]

Hey brother, 315s work no problem. I use the Hawk Ceramic Pro (Yellow) and they work great along with very little to no dust. I can’t confirm if the wickerbill works on verts but I’m sure it would be able to fit somehow.

[@ragtopdlxzl1]

@@MrLSX Great! didn't want to put on spacers. True the Hawk yellow reduces dust some but given how I drive and we know how you drive I suspect you clean your wheels regularly...as we should... I do like how a wickerbill looks but function is my main goal... But man, I need to get a grip...hey been thinking those sway bars 32mm rear, 27mm front... think they fit?

[@MrLSX]

@@ragtopdlxzl1 to be honest with you Jeff, I think I clean my wheels about once a month is all. Not sure about the sway bars to be honest. Currently just enjoying the Mag Ride for now.

[@TFreshour08]

@@ragtopdlxzl1 I was thinking about doing this to my 2013 vert, but the antennae is in the spoiler. So I was told to find one with room for that. Apologies if you already knew that.

[@ragtopdlxzl1]

@@TFreshour08 My thought without knowing if tested is that the wickerbill wouldn't really work due to lack of airflow over the top of the car... I just don't know for sure. I believe that or heard the antenna is just for AM radio too, been awhile since I looked at this subject...

[@ElvisCarReviews]

Nice ride

[@MrLSX]

Thanks man!

[@mikesines2146]

Any issues with fitment on the TSP headers?

[@MrLSX]

None whatsoever. I’ve only had Kooks and decided to throw TSP on the Camaro because of everyone’s positive comments. 3 years later they are holding up very well.

[@URNemesys]

@@MrLSXhow much boost did you drop with the header install?

[@MrLSX]

@@URNemesys None. What made you think it would drop boost?

[@noahdunaway]

@@MrLSX it’s to do with less back pressure with the headers and some applications it will drop the psi slightly but the car will be faster with the headers, especially with a proper tune.

[@ragtopdlxzl1]

@@MrLSX Question should be did you gain boost? Kooks are easily as good as TSP and unless I have a problem with them, they are staying on mine. TSP are good as well so what was the trade off?

[@gsxr1189]

Nice car. 👍

Thanks brother!

[@killem30]

Hey bro nice ride! I have a 2013 also with the black rims. I noticed you said track pack. Did just mean the Black wheel option or something else I don't know about? Lol

[@MrLSX]

Nope that’s literally it lol. The “track pack” for the ZL1 consisted of simply having the forged aluminum black wheels instead of the full weight, uncut silver wheels.

[@killem30]

@@MrLSX Thank you bro lol I was sitting watching your video like I knew everything about our car lmao and when you said track pack I was like what !? 😆 thanks you bro and keep the videos coming 💯
