My close friend just bought a new one, bright red convertible. Such a bad ass car. It's not his daily. He keeps it meticulously clean and in the garage and intends on keeping it until he simply cant drive anymore he loves it so much. He's about 70 now 😁

[@MaxHPower]

That’s awesome!! Good for him, I hope he gets to enjoy it for many years!

[@cski12894]

Meticulous is the way! Also, get NEXGEN ceramic coating at the bare minimum, but if you bought it new it should be clay barred and clear wrapped. The whole top of the car at least.

[@S2NAZ]

@@cski12894 Yep, That was done the day he purchased it at a reputable PPF shop in Scottsdale, AZ.

[@natthaphonnoble2407]

Convertible lol, every old man car lol.

Most underrated car on the planet. Simply abusive to pavement (straight and in the corners). I drive mine in the winter.. Amazing automobile.

[@MaxHPower]

Well spoken comment!! Thanks for watching!

[@irvincasanueva3423]

Am about to but one in MINT condition with 1000 miles on the clock for 75k. Would you say is worth it?

[@jarvisragins9212]

Truly amazing...I just bought mine about 2 months ago...2022 ZL1 and I love it

[@yomama5785]

@@irvincasanueva3423 what else is there under 75k that can do what this car can do - power, cornering, brutal reliability, speed, comfort, amenities, dealer support...? The only car close to this visceral an experience for a real enthusiast is the Emira. I own both. :)

[@infinitewatts]

I'm buying. 1 day she will be mine. I have a 2017 Camaro same color right now. Just not the zl1. Look forward to more of your videos. Subscribed.

You’ll love your future ZL1!! And thanks a ton, I appreciate it!

A few months ago I bought a Red 2021 Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1 that had 3773 miles on it from a Chevrolet dealership in Medford. Oregon. It is my daily and now it has 11,000+ miles on it. I drove it in "Touring" mode at first but love it in "Sport". as it is a totally different car! I got a FULL Carbon fiber ZL-1 LE wing installed by Auto Addict in Anaheim a couple of weeks ago. They did great work on that build and I am going to do more work on it through them. I don't even listen to music in my car just the way it sounds as I drive it! I will most likely keep this car until I am unable to drive anymore! VERY FUN car to drive! I hope that guy enjoys that car as much as I enjoy mine!

[@MaxHPower]

That is so awesome!! It’s great that you use it as your daily, I really respect that!! Enjoy it to its fullest!

[@marklloyd4153]

I like it more than the C8 corvette . Looks so much better . The Alpha platform is phenomenal . The value for money makes the Camaro better than the Ford or the Chrysler products. In my opinion. They wanted so much more money than the Camaro for the GT 500 which is the most similar to the Camaro. I like the platform, I like the interior, and handling. I like the steering field better, I like the manual transmission better in the Camero

[@MaxHPower]

Thanks for the input!! It truly is a wonderful car, and platform!!🙌

[@southeastdaygo6193]

Well said especially since all Dodges scats and hellcats have the same interior as other GM cars like jeep and Chrysler.

[@cski12894]

@@marklloyd4153 I have driven a C8 Z51. I have to say I do love that. But I don't love Fiberglass. And neither does my insurance. The Camaro 1SS up to ZL1-1LE ticks all the boxes. Including not having to ask for a 30 year fixed to afford it. 😁

[@eedoamitay3341]

I've had my car for 2 years now and it still scares me how fast it is, but it's the best feeling in the world at the same time. It's incredibly aggressive in how strong the power comes on and catapults you. I truly am in love with my car, I even got a 1/18 autoart model : p

[@MaxHPower]

That’s awesome!! Keep enjoying it! Thanks for the comment🙌

[@470HELLEPHANT]

Can You daily drive that ZL1 Camaro to work?

[@jarvisragins9212]

I have a white 2022 ZL1 and it's the best purchase if you want power and luxury in a muscle car wrapped up in a sports Car body...this vehicle is so very powerful...easy to handle at high speeds and it's a beast on the track...straight or curves...love this car so glad that I bought one for myself

[@MaxHPower]

Very well said! Congrats on the car! Enjoy it, and be safe!🙌

[@Often_wrong]

Now this dude is a car guy 🫡 salute 🤝

[@archwolf3835]

My 2014 lt camaro seats were also super comfortable. I didnt start feeling a discomfort until hour 6 of driving non stop. I miss that car everyday and plan on getting a ZL1 as soon as I pay off my toyota

[@MaxHPower]

That’s awesome!!!

[@cski12894]

I have a 2018 SS and I can confirm that even my run of the mill SS with sunroof, quad exhaust, HOT RED with my splitter and diffuser and Mashimoto LED tailights with my 6mt, and I put a Bilstein Nurburgring suspension on it. That way it transforms my ATS chassis into a true Audi/BMW fighter. On the track....it's like a fighter jet. It feels special evert time I start it. If you see a red Camaro SS from 2016-2018 on the cover of a car mag....that's my car. It didn't have Magnetic ride so I had no quams adding the Bilstein B-14 Nordschliffe PSS sport suspension. Best $1100 plus $330 for BMR end links.

[@MaxHPower]

That’s awesome!!! Thanks for the comment!!

[@redvlogztv3439]

I just bought mine too 💪🏻🔥

[@MaxHPower]

[@Fony_turgeson]

I just bought a 22 zl1. 6spd. Cannot wait to get it

[@petermeister7191]

I first dealed with this car in 2020, when I was about to buy a third sports car next to my GTR R35 and Nismo Z34. First when I saw my ZL1, it was awesome to me! A 2017 6MT in nice spec silver ice outside with carbon fiber hood and a nice contrast to all the shiny black parts around it! When I started the car (it was an US import to Germany) on the dealer´s place I just thought what the hell did they build!? When I was test driving this car here, everyone´s looking at me so I felt like an alien on the street with it. So that was the moment I couldn´t do any other thing than buying it! And I love it! Just slightly modded it classic with ported TB, intake and HP tuners flash dyno run mapped on 102oct. putting out almost 700 hp and 900 NM of torque. It feels like a dinosaur but just love it!

[@cski12894]

That Dinosaur feel will get you to 200k w/o serious issues. With my 6mt my SS doesn't even use its upper power band unless I am on the track or 1 other road that is around my Grandads old farm. The lack of DOHC or a Turbo, just a nice hot cam and VVTi plus Direct Injection. Otherwise it is yet another step towards V8 Perfection. At 4500 to 6600 RPM it sounds like a NASCAR.

[@johnbehneman1546]

THE WIDEBODY KITS LOOK SO BADASS ON THSES CAMAROS!!!!!

[@CarlosPF94]

Fingers crossed, buying one within the next month 2022 model I’m scoping out just waiting on a loan approval.

[@MaxHPower]

That’s amazing!! I hope you get it! Enjoy it!!

[@joehch]

About 15 months ago I was debating wether to get the 2SS 1LE or the ZL1 had to be a manual. Ending up getting the ‘23 2SS with zero Dealer mark ups. More than enough power with 455 HP. Nice video

[@MaxHPower]

That’s a great car! I hope you love it!! And thank you!

[@josepineda9740]

Why didn’t u go w zl1?

It's a beautiful machine sir !

[@MaxHPower]

[@mjc3502]

Had you got the 1le, the suspension is horrible. The touring mode is stiff and not the same. I have a standard and my buddy has the 1le. Two regrets he has, he wished he bought the a10 because stock for stock he lost to two a10s. And he hates the suspension being so rough. My car is now built with 942hp to the tire. Great video.

These cars are getting stolen left and right now make sure you put extra anti theft mods on it other than that very cool ride 👍🏻
