Is the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Collector's Edition the KING of muscle cars?

[@McLeanGary]

GM builds a car that's the best all around in the muscle car wars, proceeds to ignore it and not love it and then they kill it again. True Camaro fan forever, and the ZL1 is the king!!! Thanks for the tribute Lori and Joe!

[@GAsh0012]

They are great deals for the performance but the current Gen Camaro has no soul... it's bloated and boring

[@dmrtagge6274]

​​@@GAsh0012boring ?? You American should be glad for having a car with such feature as high powered cross plane supercharged or even n/a V8 mated to 6spd manual gearbox and proven rwd . Aside if this the Camaro without stereotypical doubt is a fantastic track car despite being a pony car . The suspension the way how chassis is composed and behave on road is something else . Have u seen the new C63 AMG ? And the crap under it's hood it's shame for US Europeans . We begged Supra with manual gearbox past 3 yrs and once received it we didn't give a F wether it had BMW DNA or not. Calling the Camaro boring with such goodies which I mentioned before is a crime my friend.

[@RaitisRides]

It is a shame

[@benjaminmatute9085]

I was really hoping for a supercharged LS7 making 800 or 900. Heck, a Cadillac engine with above 700 hp would have been okay. This goes to show how pathetic GM with the Camaro is getting. They literally made it to beat the mustang, look at the 1969 ZL1 with 500 hp truly outperformed and out powered the 1967 gt500kr, the only thing in it’s way was the 1967 Super Snake with 550 hp but only one was even built in 1967 only for there to be only 9 more made 40 years in the future making the Camaro a better choice with 5x the amount of Camaro’s made and also 5x cheaper. Only for the 2000’s to hit and the Camaro got whipped by GT500’s, super snakes, and 1000’s. Heck even now in the 10’s and 20’s and it’s still getting whipped even with the more advanced technology and engines that they have that can easily get over 700+ or 800+ horsepower, they still didn’t use it, and then they blamed it on the customers when they just didn’t deliver nor did anything good with it. Shameful.

I'm not too big instant torque, rather the quality of the drive and on track, like an EN. I've driven multiple cars as well as my brother, and I'd rather stay with my Elatran N or Veloster N, while he prefers to have a 1le because it's the only one out of the 2 that has a standard transmission option. Sorry if I came off as rude.

Truly a badass machine, a serious performance vehicle still to this day. I drove one a couple years back. It’s a shame how Chevy couldn’t keep up with the Mustang. This car is laughably dated with tech/design/interior and identical to the 2016 model year. Even worse that Chevy never bothered to bump its power output despite a brand new GT500 and a bunch of Hellcat variants coming out after the ZL1 was released

[@Naginc]

Well that's not entirely true. This ZL1 Chevy said was more track focused not just hp and especially if it's not on the ground. The Mustang looks like a mess, fyi it was almost killed the s650. That was the most bizarre intro by Ford designers openly admitting they don't like it. Both are American icons, but due to quality control issues, they just haven't kept up with the times.

[@Housemusic86]

And the Camaro suspension still runs circles around the Mustang, Charger and Challenger.

[@alexv5581]

Umm wrong. The chassis is the best of the pony cars, the best V8 muscle engine (more torque than a GT ), and the interior is very good quality and feels like a cockpit. It actually feels special sitting inside one. And what muscle car enthusiast gives a shit about tech ? Lol I didn't buy my Camaro for luxury and technology.

[@KingMatt1]

@@Housemusic86 track times are completely irrelevant in the real world and that’s not what sells muscle cars. The Camaro is a complete sales failure, dead last behind all of its competition and that is why it is going away AGAIN. It’s still a great car but lacks the character of the other cars in its class

[@KingMatt1]

@@alexv5581 not even CLOSE to being the best V8 engine it it’s class. The 5.0 is better than the LT1 by far, I’ll just end that debate by saying 7400 RPM redline, can beat 717 hp hellcats with THREE mods, makes power much easier, LOVES boost, and can easily hold 900 WHP on a stock block.

[@Hawkinna]

Just bought a 2018 SS 1LE, today. It is a shame that they didn’t promote it more. As a former 2016 Mustang GT owner, the Camaro is in a different competition class. I wish GM would have punched out a 427 LT based engine or installed a LT4 into a last Z/28 model.

[@ShariaLawAllDay]

The 2024 ZL1 Camaro is the best pony car of the 21st century, tied with the mighty Hellcat Challenger. All hail the good ol LT/LS pushrod V8 with a cross-plane crankshaft slapped with a supercharger on top. Shame on you GM and Mopar for discontinuing these two legendary vehicles.
