2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE POV Full Session- Daytona International Speedway

First time out at Daytona in the Camaro, this is the fastest of my sessions while managing traffic. Enjoy!

[@somerandomassguyontheinter2869]

eh he could but that really firm suspension probably isn’t the greatest for eating ice cream at the same time, could get messy. it’s not unmanageable but having driven a 1LE SS camaro i personally think it’s just a little too stiff for daily use. some people can manage though, but i just don’t wanna get whiplash accidentally tagging a pothole

I am coming from a well tuned 2016 SS to a 2018 Zl1 white/black non-1le. I wasn't going to put headers on this one until I made the mistake of watching and sharing this video over and over. So much for that resistance, It's scheduled for the the full massage, intake, tb, full headers and exhaust along with flex fuel, Thanks a lot , I am a recovering horsepower addict and I thought I would be satisfied with the ZL1 stock power, NOPE!!!!

You should try driving a FBO Camaro I4 turbo around a track or autocross... Incredible handling machine...I speculate that a 400-450 hp Camaro 4 banger would challenge a ZL1 around a track.

[@dustinteasdale6091]

@@sugerhitman1295 not even close on a track or down the line. The turbo doesn’t get the same suspension or many of the parts that the 8 cylinder cars do like the magnetic ride control for example or the larger disc brakes in the front. If the ZL1 has an upper pulley, cold air intake and tune that car will be pushing over 600 at the wheels. There’s a reason that people don’t buy and build I4 turbos to race V-8’s.

[@eudaimonia97]

You are very smooth and routine on the steering wheel; no jerky movements. That is how it is done.

[@Junkyardspecial]

Thank you for the love!

[@realbigdady]

Firstly Very smooth driving secondly I just bought a 2021 zl1 1le and am looking forward to track day. I am coming off an AtsV and find the capacity of the 1le a little intimidating. Did you find the car difficult to manage the power at first. I will be going slow but never been over 150 so far never had a car that would go there before. And again nice work.

[@Junkyardspecial]

Thank you for the love, The car overall is very capable at speed, obviously you should slowly warm up to it but its highly confident. Low speed turns might be its weakness as youll have to learn how to put the power down, but it feels very at home at higher speeds.

[@vinnier6]

Solid

[@djs3484]

A stock GEN 6 ZL1 with the manual I'm not sure how it will perform, but mine with a 10sp auto can cruise at 130mph easily, you'll find 150 is not really even pushing it's capability. After driving the new (at the time) '17 ZO6 Corvette, then driving the new '17 ZL1 I chose the Camaro. I got the last 1, I had to order mine and it has every option but an engine block heater, it took a couple of months but it was worth the wait. Any mods you'll do, the pricks at Chevy will blow off any warrantee claims after telling me bolton mods won't void it, they LIED. Internal mods obviously will void it but get in writing if they say boltons are ok, they'll say yes but when you need warrantee work you will be told the car is "modified", in my case the same clown who said bolton mods wouldn't void my warrantee was the same SOB who denied me when I needed work done. Get it ALL in writing before even a CAI is installed, including a non-stock computer tune...

Hey! so the best method is motorsportreg.com, just searching for an event that might interest you, they have most track days there plus autocrosses. Also look up your local SCCA chapter they have autocross and usually Driving Events at every racing event. Track Night In America is also a good way to get your feet wet, this was that event, usually not very well run but its extremely cheap. I work for Hooked On Driving and we travel to many tracks in Florida, so check them out too at Hookedondriving.com
