My 2013 Chevy Camaro ZL1 and my current mods

I decided to do some upgrades to my 2013 Camaro ZL1. Mostly cosmetic upgrades for the time being. Shout out to J. Nutter Designs for installing my splitter. Feel free to ask questions or share your mods and advice for others. Most of these parts can be found on sites like www.phastek.com www.zl1addons.com www.americancarcraft.com www.americanbrothersdesigns.com

Badass ride sir 💪

[@whateva_man]

Thank you. Looks like you have a nice one too

[@jaredthegeneralmotorscarguy.]

The 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has the supercharged 6.2L LSA V8 with 580 horsepower.

[@whateva_man]

Correct

[@great4ever845]

​@@whateva_man uhhhh how wise would it be to get a 2013 in 2023 ?

[@whateva_man]

@@great4ever845 very wise since they will only increase in value

[@great4ever845]

@@whateva_man are they reliable not too many problems too worry about

[@whateva_man]

@@great4ever845 For the most part they are. I’m in some large ZL1 groups and most of big the issues I hear of are from people that have modded the engines and when the mag ride shocks go out they are not cheap.

Just watching this video for the first time.. nice car😊

[@whateva_man]

Thank you

Still bad ass looking I’m looking to buy one just like the same color looks good

[@aaronspaulding205]

Absolutely beautiful my friend!!! Keep it clean, keep it happy! Great video homie!!

[@whateva_man]

Thank you!

[@aaronspaulding205]

@@whateva_man thank you for making great videos my friend!! May I ask you how much the Z/28 rims cost you? I have a ‘14 1SS L99 with a CAI, ported TB, headers, X pipe into a 3” borla atak. I want to do the Z/28 clone set up but was unsure what to expect to set aside $$ wise for the rims, tires, side skirts and deck lid spoiler. Do you also have any advice tire wise? I’m sure you need something capable of handling the power and torque your car makes (i’m only putting down 436hp 421tq to the wheel). I currently have Continental Extreme Contact Pros which work amazing in a straight line and through the twistiest roads, but the rears are 275’s which I believe i’d have to use on the fronts with the new rims. I have a friend who owns a tire shop who can get me anything I want at cost. The Continentals were $235 each, and he gets them for $95. Thank you for reading this 1800 word reply (sorry it was so long my friend), and I look forward to your advice.

[@whateva_man]

Continental extreme conacts are popular with Camaro guys. I have Michelin Pilot Sport S4 and they have been awesome on the street and the drag strip. My wheels are Factory Flow Form Z/28 replicas. They were about 2 grand. 20x10 front and 20x11 rears. They were lighter than my stock forged ZL1 wheels

[@emilioescalante5502]

Car looks beautiful w the z/28 wheels!!!

[@whateva_man]

Thank you

[@lamarkx2259]

Nice car mods looking great

[@whateva_man]

Thank you!

[@jeffdicken7596]

I have the same car but it’s a 6 speed. Have the M-22 look alike wheels. Awesome car bro! I’m in Memphis.

[@whateva_man]

Sounds like a nice ride. My legs were too long for the manual. It would have been a lot more fun!

[@theponycargarage1453]

Like the wheels. I was thinking of doing same wheels on my 2012.

[@whateva_man]

Thanks. These are the same size as the stock wheels but they are lighter.

[@JustinMcFly1980]

Love it. Wad up Bro

[@whateva_man]

Dude its a ZL1. Not much to modify, lol. Sweet ride!

Ilove you camaro

[@djycam6125]

Hi friend very nice your video for your beautiful zl1, I also have a camaro zl1 from 2013 on the other side of the Atlantic in France...* I have a question what do you have as spark plugs?

[@whateva_man]

My car was stock when I got it and I have not upgraded plugs yet so I'm sure I'm running the factory plugs

[@cedrick7126]

Then taillights tho. 😮‍💨

[@Dttwoooo]

Hes forsure pushing at least 610hp no doubt idc what nobody say

[@NezBs]

should put some black wrap in the fish gills

[@whateva_man]

I might have to consider that

[@NezBs]

@@whateva_man Have it done on my red camaro and love the way it looks. Gives a little depth from further away and is relatively inexpensive.

@@whateva_man Unfortunately the muscle at era is coming to a end. The last to go will be the mustang? However 2008 to 2025 will be the great eras of the muscle cars. People just don’t buy a lot of them. We are in the era of suvs and EV’s.

The local exhaust shop I went to already had them there for purchase. I'm not sure the brand or model. I have purchased quality tips from Jegs in the past for other cars.

@@whateva_man gotcha thanks for the response

[@Sebadicus]

Does this front bumper fit on a 2011 LS??

[@whateva_man]

Yes I have seen many converted to ZL1 bumpers. Not sure if it takes any extra parts to do it right but it definitely fits

[@MrDrew0910]

That splitter you have on ypur zl1 on zl1 add on says it does fit on zl1. This is the same one that you have?

[@whateva_man]

There is a splitter on ZL1 addons that only fits the ZL1, that’s what I have. They have others for the other style bumpers

tell me how much you enjoy this car in total 1-10 im getting a zl1 in 5 months im just curious what you think lol its my dream car

[@whateva_man]

If I'm totally honest with you it was my dream car too. It's fun, it's fast(not as fast as I thought), it looks good and gets a lot of compliments but I give it a 7. I don't enjoy it as much as I thought I would and I was thinking about not keeping it

[@Thefabianray]

@@whateva_man oh man that’s not good maybe it’ll be totally different for me since I’m pretty young idk though thanks for the feedback though greatly appreciated

@@Thefabianray Don't get me wrong it's a bad ass car. Drive one yourself and see if you like it. Everyone's opinion will be different. I wanted a manual but I'm a big guy and my knee was against the steering wheel so it wasn't comfortable. This car would be amazing with the manual
