lol, i raced a lightly modded hellcat and he swore i was modded cuz i stayed right next to it. he was bumbed out. yes,my shock zl1 gets more attention than a super model LOL. ive taken a few losses but ive handed out a ton of ass kickings to high end cars. and low end too lol. with over 4 yrs. of ownership it still never gets old to drive. ive had some tough breaks however. hail damage, a rodent ate my wiring harness and some ahole hit me when i was parked. 2k in damage. but imo zl1s are a very underrated car. they can hang with much more expensive vehicles. if you havent i recommend ps4s. theyre soooooo much better than f1s which are a good tire. btw.the dealer i use has been great.

I’ll never know why people say they can’t see out of these cars, I had my ZL1 for 2 years and never had an issue. You’re right it is more focused on performance than it is on daily driver comforts which is what I want in a muscle car.

Growing up I fell in love with the cars of the late 60's early 70's. If you pay attention to that car history, all of those great muscle cars could not be topped. Long story short, this Era of of muscle/sport cars is coming to an end. It's definitely a good idea to keep and restore what you got. I'm restoring my zl1 for sure!

I've owned my 2020 Z since January 24. Its an incredible machine. I agree that the power is basically ridiculous for the street. Its far too easy to hit triple digits. Its a double edged sword. The overall package is incredible to drive. I tell everyone it's essentially a race car with lights and a heated steering wheel. I can't imagine being happier driving anything else. I've owned a few hot cars and this Z is a total package.

What a refreshing video. Great insight dude. Also, about the loud exhaust complaints... they are valid and let me tell you why. I have a 6th gen ss with a built stroker motor, headers all the works, with the factory npp exhaust. It was loud, yada yada. I didnt realize how devastatingly loud it was until me and my friend swapped cars. He in my car, casually downshifts and drives past me. Little did he know, his little downshift almost blew my ear drums out. Ever since then, I installed the dual tip exhaust just to quiet it down. Its real man. When they say its too loud, its too loud. Anyway that was my bit, and once again, I really liked your take on the car. I think im local to you as well. If I see you at streets or big willow Ill say hi.

Appreciate your honesty, knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for the Gen 6 Camaro in general. Completely agree regarding the GM and most dealership experience. It's amazing what they could fix or not notice/duplicate when a vehicle is under warranty. Out of warranty if any doubt just replace as many parts and add on as many services as possible. I wouldn't trust a dealer that said they would use Mobil 1 synthetic for the first "included" oil change. Just knowing how the dealer tried to sneak in fees when I purchased the car, they weren't going to give me a free Mobil 1 0W40 Supercar oil change. Maybe Mobil 1 5W30/bulk oil anyway I passed and did it myself and spent the $110. for supplies (10 quarts and a filter) plus some expensive plastic ramps for future maintenance. My wife's certified pre-owned SUV had a P0420 code, ended up being an exhaust leak they said not the CAT and replaced the muffler, seems okay. I asked to look at the work order, just wanted to make sure it mentioned the P0420 code, in case that CAT were to fail in the near future. Anyway the service advisor said "what you think I'm lying..." I just feel you have to fight them to get things addressed, can only imagine how they take advantage of those with little auto knowledge and the elderly. Sorry to ramble, glad you're enjoying that beast after the first year of ownership.

Coolant: my car needed over a gallon after 900 miles and I totally thought there was a bad leak. After topping off a few times, it has stayed filled now for thousands of miles. The top res needs to be full to the top and the bottom one gets filled to half on the line down there. Once you top off both a few times it should stay there. Described in the owners manual. And....I did smell coolant burning off for a little while when doing this. Try it yourself after the dealership top off. I bet the motor is fine. Was a very weird thing for a new car. My purchase dealership was 700 miles away.

I own a 18 RS ya its only a V6 but i love it. 70,000 miles on it now some light mods no problems whatsoever. Around 350 hp with mods i did 107 mph at 13.6 seconds in the quarter mile. I see out of it fine 2 blind spots thats it. After driving it for a while the blind spots no big deal. My wife drives it more than i do shes 5.6 120 pounds she loves it. Idk if ill but a V8 twin turbo it or ill just put turbos on my V6. Kinda want to turbo the V6 just because its lite and i find low mileage 3.6 LGX engines from $500-$1000. So if something goes wrong not to much money to fix. Anyway been a great car absolutely love it. Id love a Zl1 but right now its way out of my budget. Great video awesome car man

Go with AWE touring suite. I got the full cat back kit with resonators. It screams wide open but absolutely no drone highway driving. It’s also much cheaper then a Borla or Corsa and still high quality

Yeah basically I agree AWE is the way to go. With these cars theres only 3 exhaust I suggest. Borla, Corsa, AWE with my favorite being AWE by far. Its quiet when you're just cruising or light throttle. Loud when you get on it. Affordable and sounds amazing awe gets my money all day.

Do you think you would the same experience if you supercharged your SS 1le vs buying a ZL1

@Hot-1LE 3 ай бұрын
The low end on the lt1 is a gamble on handling boost. You're better off FBO for reliability. You can build the engine though otherwise id say the zl1 is the more trusty go to. The entire cars built for it and you can womp on it all day without that worry

@@Hot-1LE LT4 can definitely handle more power than an LT1 but and LT1 can handle stock LT4 power levels reliably. I'm looking for for if you think the ZL1 is worth double the price of an SS vs just buying a supercharger for the SS. I know there are a couple more differences between the two but as an overall if the SS just made more power.

Yah what im saying is i wouldn't s/c a lt1 cause itll blow. Have had friends that did that and exactly that happened. For a 15k difference between a 2ss 1le and a zl1 absolutely z is worth the money

@@Hot-1LE Where are you finding ZL1 for only 15k more? Are they cheaper in your area? Within 300 miles of my location on auto tempest. Cheapest 6th gen ZL1 is $70k. That is almost double what I paid for my SS 1le.

My 2ss 1le was 55k. My zl1 was 69. I bought both new. Just depends on mileage and year. My area is probably highest in the country lol. But ya depends on what ya can find etc. i found zl1s for 50k but they are 2018s. I guess see what works for ya. The z will put the power down better. Stronger trans and axles. But if its not worth the cost then just build the SS. Kinda unique situation now that its used market

i think a proper upgrade would be a c8 Z06, i saw one the other day it was stupidly loud with an exhaust sounded like a V10. You can argue it's not true American because it's flat plane but who cares. honestly the C8 z06 can compare to Lambo and Ferrari, it has the sound, power and looks. both chassis are beast though just different layout but the ZL1 1LE still remains the best car for buck and some aren't willing to spend that much, it can definitely be seen as a forever car and or investment since V8s will go extinct and Camaros are no longer in production.

C8 z is an absolute beast for sure but no manual transmission and that i need haha. The 1le is great in its own way but its a one trick car and I need more tricks 🤣. They are all great cars theres no wrong answer here. GM makes some of the best bang for buck performance cars
