I can verify that the ZL1 is INDEED one of the BEST cars I've ever owned. Fast, fun, and daily driveable!!! I wish I never sold it ... 😭

[@BingBangBrine]

the camaro looks better than the dodge or ford IMO. however for me i couldnt see crap out of one (22 ss)

[@josepineda9740]

Why did you selll it :((( was it a 10 Speed ?

[@Brian01987]

Im thinking about selling my 2018 6speed ZL1 for a 2024 Corvette...

[@CrimpKeeper]

Why did you sell it?

[@enthused7591]

This car's growing on me. Especially in black.

[@the.reel.mccoy.]

This car is growing me. Especially in blue.

[@StellarBlue1]

I AM an older man, born in the USA in the1950s. My first car was a 1958 Chevrolet Impale, convertible. It had the 283 V8. So, I was in love with Chevrolets and owned more than a couple in my day. The love affair ended when American cars became shoddy, over-smog controlled pieces of s%&t. Well, I am happy to say that cars such as this new Camaro and the Corvette is rekindling my feeling for Chevrolet. It is about time, Chevrolet!

[@BaconKFilms]

I swear every person I see driving a newer corvette is a middle aged man

[@BaconKFilms]

Scott Golimowski whoa there

[@kierancasey5814]

StellarBlue1 it’s funny iv seen this same comment more or less on lots of Camaro video...umm it’s like someone is changing a few details about a old man having a camaro them camaro went to shit now they are great again weird

[@cyclopgarage]

@Scott Golimowski Calm down there buddy, who rocked your boat?

[@cyclopgarage]

@Scott Golimowski What is bad about 6 other models using one of the best V8s Chevy ever made? If they were to make a new engine for every single model their profits would plummet or they would go bankrupt and it's a lot less environmentally friendly...

[@pops55650]

I like my Challenger but there is no denying that ZL1 is a bad ass car

[@danielkim824]

Pops Smith same. A bit sad that the front end of the 6 gen looks so much meaner than the challenger. Love my car but the design of the front is so nice

[@danielkim824]

E Garcia I think that that's kind of the point of the challenger concept. It's bringing back the old style. If Chrysler kept changing it as much as they change the mustang or Camaro, I doubt it would still have its "true muscle car" characteristics. Just my thought/input

[@stevewilson9792]

@@danielkim824 IDK, the fact is Fiat Chrysler are in debt up to their eye balls. I understand alot of progress moving FCC products forward is SUFFERING/slowing downqq development. They focus tons of resources on suv, trucks&jeeps. Least dependable vehicle on American roads. BMW Mini is a POS as well. I have had '14 Rubicon Wrangler, '13 Durango Citadel, and their extra lousy pick truck in 2017. The dealer was making unbelievable deals for quick cash purchases. I hope for a similar experience with the new 2020 RT we plan to buy. What my beautiful woman wants, she very often gets.

[@TOTO_209]

I agree hellcats and zl1 are both bad ass cars.

Never thought I’d fall in love with a camaro... I’m more of a mustang guy, but this is very impressive.

[@vincethatwonderfulboi7374]

Fr, I love Mustang's, but this Camaro, ah! I can't decide

[@SpudEater]

Vincent. I love the new design of the 15+ Mustang but the Camaro is just absolutely brutal looking. It looks like it wants to eat you alive but I do think that the next generation will have more rounded lines compared to the more abrupt, aggressive lines of this gen. I know that there are rumors going around about it being discontinued but I truly think that Chevy is taking a moment to bring on a new designer to revive it to be more friendly considering blind spots and such

I grew up riding around in the 4th gen FBody SS camaro and Firebird/Trans Ams and I loved them. Now I really love the 5th and 6th gen even more. I wish they never stopped producing them after 2002 until they came back.

[@mattfairfield9103]

Except for the fact that the 5th gen Camaro is literally.. THE.. ugliest sports car I’ve ever seen. No style. Just one shape. One boring shape lol. The Trans Am from that era was sexy though. As usual for Pontiac vs. Chevy.

[@VaddyFC]

@@mattfairfield9103 5th gen is the ugliest you say..... How so? It was the most popular muscle car in America up until the 6th gen when sales dropped......

[@mattfairfield9103]

Just seen a twin to this car at a busy intersection. This is the first car to make me stop and rubberneck in years. The stance and lines are just incredible! I dunno how it looks in other colors but it sure wears black very very well!! Polishing black cars is an art. Find some one that knows how to and invest $$ in a color sand, power buff, hand finnish, detail job. If your gonna wear black do it right. I appreciate fast cars, but if you really want monster acceleration, killer brakes, and cornering G forces that makes your inner self preservation scream "oh shit oh shit" then a big 1000cc + sport bike is the only way to roll. A cheap awd car. A good beater 4x4 pickup spec'd to tow. Any sportbike your heart desires. Makes for a well rounded garage imo.

[@tylerdirden3416]

Lol agree. Exactly what my garage would like except my 07 R1 is wrecked(2 wks ago, still hurt from it), got a lfted 99 z-71 on 33s(needs 35s), and an 07 nissan altima for a fuel sipping daily( not an awd guy, need a rwd daily really)

[@davegodkin9066]

Huge Camaro fan here from New Zealand. I fell in love with them as a child, my grandfather was a car collector, owning many rare and classic European and American cars, but he loved Chevrolet, he had a Chevy model for every year from 1918 up-to the 70'S including many muscle cars, but his favorite and also his day to day car was an 67" SS Camaro! Granddad sold it in the late 80'S but he always regretted it, as did I. So he bought an 84" Z28 Camaro, not as classic a model but not a bad car none the less! after his death and as his collection was slowly sold off, I was lucky enough to take possession of the Z28. unfortunately it never compared to the 67" SS but oh well it's still a Camaro! Oh FYI my second favorite car was his 58 Corvette! The new era of Camaro and Corvette is stunning, they just keep getting better and better!

[@s1mplistic999]

Dave Godkin you should watch his new video because this guy has a SS 1le and you can see what happened to it after he sold it its SAD 😭

[@shanecreamer6889]

As an M3 owner I would love to have one of these - Finally an American M3 on it's own terms. Comfort, styling, handling, and performance that meets or exceeds anything BMW has in their M series vehicles. Amazing job Chevy!

[@RobertMacCready]

Drove a 2019 today. It has a rear view mirror that turns into a rear camera view that I found terrific. It takes away any problems looking rearward. And it was the 10 speed. Torn between the 10 speed and the manual with rev matching. Probably would pick the 10. Thanks for the look at the 18'.

[@timeless8285]

The paddle shifters are so fun to use, I think A10 is the way to go, but the manual gives that extra connected feeling to the car

[@godsaveamerica2611]

Sure it can. just because chevy likes to equip their cars to run better on a road course from the factory, doesn't mean you can't make your suspension stiffer and slap on better rubber.

I've had both. I traded my auto Challenger Hellcat for an Auto 2017 ZL1. The ZL1 is definitely faster on street tires. It is equipped with a much better tire and the suspension is much better. The ZL1 is a much better value stock for stock. The only place the Hellcat beats it is space and ease of making extra horsepower.

[@thefrozendrink]

Adem Hasanovic on street tires the have the same 0-60 and 1/4 times but the zl1 is easier to drive giving you the advantage if a hellcat wants to try from a dig also it’s much lighter so rolls aren’t an issue either

i've driven both... the hellcat clutch is barely operable on a day to day basis, its unforgiving and the raw power is offset in many ways by its sheer size and weight... the zl1 is so smooth, and although it feels less powerful, it handles twice as well... definitely a better "daily" car and "track" car

[@nhraandnascarfanatic5907]

Mopar may have always had the upper hand in performance against Chevy but they have never been remotely CLOSE to being as sexy and this new zl1 is no exception. Just gorgeous!!

[@goodknight6828]

Dan Goodellis dodge upper hand in performance? I disagree. The new ZL1 is just as fast as the hellcat in a straight line and the viper is gone so dodge doesn’t have anything against Chevy on the track.

[@nhraandnascarfanatic5907]

Cesar A. U seem to be forgetting the demon..?

[@goodknight6828]

Dan Goodellis it’s a pretty impressive car I admit it, but there’s not another manufacturer besides dodge that produces cars specifically just for drag racing. Anyone can modify any car to go fast in a straight line.

[@nhraandnascarfanatic5907]

Either way I think your misinterpreting wat I’m saying here. I’m talking in general, not just the new stuff. All eras... Chevy have always had the pornstar effect but mopar have the HEMI

[@Biskawow]

but can it go over a speed bump?

[@supratoyodah6330]

You should have asked if it could do it undamaged. Lol.

[@tggaming4213]

Copper Blue it still can

[@aceofspades2352]

Have to be very careful it literally feels like you’re in a go kart.

[@aceofspades2352]

KoiBoi 1113 hell Yeah bro them cars low asl

[@aceofspades2352]

U gotta damn near use both of your hands to get out on the side. 😂😂😂😂 it’s a real 2 seater bro only thing that’s going in the back seat is a baby if that.

[@joemasters2270]

Your reaction after stepping on the gas says it all. If only I had $66k.

[@FatandFurious.]

I hate Chevrolet, but Camaro is the Perfect car!

[@garyweaver1949]

great video.. as well as your commentary. you seem hit the nail on the head.. perfectly. I had the 45th Anniversary SS and loved it.. I did go with the new C7 Corvette though and love that as well but love the Camaros. Brother has the new SS and wants the new ZL1.. I wish he would go for it as its a great car.. Im heading towards a Z06.. Thanks for the video and comments well done.

[@zackfailla7425]

So I have to ask, what feels faster in a straight line out of the two, the ZL1 or the Hellcat?

[@marcellowheeler88]

No experience here but i would guess the zl1 is considering its a smaller car.

[@jdrok5026]

The zl1s power to weight makes it a quicker car

[@zackfailla7425]

jdr ok Agreed but they have equal torque and so I was wondering which one throws you into your seat harder?

[@jdrok5026]

Zack Failla the zl1 has a lot more grip so probably the zl1 but a 4.6 modular will give you whip lash if you peg the throttle quickly

[@squigga1181]

Im an import guy and love my g37 coupe but this thing is to die for

[@JustACarGuyNamedTom]

It would look better if you had 2 of them.... J/S

[@RPProductions]

TacoTom 😂😂😂 dammit

[@donaldjohnson7777]

Lol

[@importraceramimportraceam1756]

TacoTom if

[@decadesmusiclover]

😂😂😂

[@neapolis6919]

Yeah you need 2. 1 to shit on and the other to cover it up with!

[@bbigrocker1]

That exhaust note is damn near ORGASMIC!!

[@rueben44]

You can tell you owned this car because when you started driving you shifted like it was an old habit. On a side note i understand you car choice. I miss my Mustang because it was a better daily car. Still you can't beat the Camaro if you are still producing testosterone.

[@vincethatwonderfulboi7374]

RayJ-HT nah he just knows how to shift

[@MrUltraworld]

I have the 1LE version and one big problem popped up at it's first track day, the brakes. They faded badly after just a few laps. I had to spend $7k on improving the brakes. I would have gladly paid the $7k for carbon ceramics. Otherwise the car has been trouble free.

[@michaelhummell9994]

Should of bought a zl1

[@michaelmiller99]

Dude what an awesome review! Had me laughing and very entertaining, instant sub from me man. Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to more in the future!
