The Most Badass Camaro Ever Made... | ZL1 1LE Review!

[@nist7]

650hp track monster that looks mean AF and you can get in the 60s without being bent over by the GT350 R dealers/sellers....it's a no brainer imo...

[@LeeLong121]

I bought my new 2018 ZL1 in January 2019 and paid $56,000. The MSRP was $66,000.

[@robertbrody4032]

IF you love driving, then the ZL1 1LE is a terrific car, just like the GT350R. What you give up is exclusive styling, which is a shame. But if DRIVING is the goal, the 1LE is incredible. Anyone who bashes the 1LE or GT350R or Demon or Hellcat (I own the Charger Hellcat), simply doesn't understand design and probably can't afford these anyway. Now if you want the ZL1 ILE to command some attention, take it in black with the CF parts and matte hood...it'll look pretty insane, especially from the front. Yes, it's still a Camaro, but that stopped being a bad thing a while back. How many 911 type Porsches are there? The ZL1 1LE will beat most of them on ANY track. This is world class handling and power for well under 100K.

[@Bhub746]

This car is an absolute beast. Rode in one and got to experience first hand how crazy all the features are as well

[@TheGTGuys]

The best thing about the ZL1 1LE compared to the GT350R is you can buy one below sticker price.

[@georgegiannopouloscamarozl1028]

The GT Guys the GT350R is slow turtle the ZL1 1LE is super fast car killer ferrari

[@darwinLee81283]

The GT Guys theres a reason why u can buy below lol. Its gonna tank in value. I agree its an awesome car. I have a gt350 so i am alittle bias but having said that this 1LE Is bad ass. But if you buy this car. Buy it and wring its neck. Dont park it in a garage hoping to get value 30 years from now. It will tank. Nothing exclusive about it. But as a mix and match of great gm parts tech and engineering. Its awesome

[@georgegiannopouloscamarozl1028]

Darwin Carey We appreciate your honest feedback, George. As previously mentioned, your dealership is in the best position, to keep you updated on the status of your vehicle build. Anthony J. Go for sleep now i hope you are not from Toronto because i will find you ver soon just wait your crap mustang after

[@TheGTGuys]

Darwin Carey I’m a mustang guy myself and would prefer the GT350.. The dealer markups on the Shelby’s are just frustrating

[@georgegiannopouloscamarozl1028]

The GT Guys the GT350R is for trash front of the ZL1 1LE is very slow the ZL1 1LE is very fast car in Canada already sold out 150 ZL1 1LE in USA 75,000 ZL1 1LE because is super car killer than ferrari go for sleep now

[@chunjr78]

Hey bro, your video helped me make my decision on getting the 2019 Camaro zl1 1le. Keep up the great content 🔥👌

[@blackcat6.2.]

What colour is your car?

[@blackcat6.2.]

Ooo orange ?

[@bigd9848]

I agree I love the car myself I have a 2017 SS the price tag for me is too much. I would love the ZL1 but I have other financial obligations so the SS is enough for me it’s no dog.Great video you are definitely tempting lots of people to get the ZL1💥🚀

[@JediMindTricks183]

Chevy performance has absolutely stepped up their game. The ZR1 and ZL1 1LE are amazing

[@MrVb66]

I am blessed to on both cars, I have a 2016 350GT R, I also have a 2018 Z L1 1LE I love both cars, but I have to admit I like driving the 1LE More, I am planning to trade them both in on a new mid engine corvette when it arrives,

[@wattsenough]

How are your feelings about the 1LE ride? Can you live with it or do you hang on and hope for smoother roads? How is the tire wear to date? Plan on replacing with a street type tire?

[@qutmvoid3740]

I’ll buy the 1le off of you when you plan to

[@oldblood_eyes]

The best track oriented muscle car out there so far

[@wattsenough]

Been looking at the ZL1 1LE but trying to get a better feel for the suspension. The car looks great, the interior is a step up. I would say that the Shelby does not have the bigger screen but the quality is on par. For driving on the road as a weekend or a once a week to work, is the car survivable or would you avoid it? How about on a 6 hour highway drive? The road would be smoother than local streets. Just hate to be bounced around and get a headache every-time you take it our. I got used to the first Z06 but took a few weeks. You seemed to be really enjoying the ride but would you voluntarily take this thing out on any day given a choice? I can buy a Shelby at list or get the 1LE at a discount. But being a GM guy, this car just looks so right.

[@wolverinee]

I’ve been waiting for this review for eternities...

[@ftlaud911]

Two great choices. Would be a tough choice. Would need to drive both. The sound of the Mustang is hard to beat even though I am a Chevy guy.

[@MattChristie]

OMG guys! Yesterday I was driving and saw EddieX in his I8! :)

[@null2268]

Auto Show & Go I’ve met him like 5 times.

[@MattChristie]

Sorry I was being sarcastic there lol. I've known Eddie for a bit.

[@georgegiannopouloscamarozl1028]

This guy with the ZL1 1LE is from Ontario the ZL1 1LE is super fast Arrives my ZL1 1LE earlier June Red hot i can't wait

[@rizanaghawi]

Keep these dope videos coming brotha... 👌

[@dudeshark2471]

Honestly I don’t really like the comparison with the GT350. The camaro is just way newer and it’s more of an envelope pusher whereas the mustang was always more about the sensation and emotions. It’ll be interesting to see the new GT500 though.

[@Billeh556]

Dude Shark couldn’t have said it better brotha

[@vernonprice5986]

+Dude Shark - That's a shitty, weak excuse. The GT350 came out in 2016, same year as the gen 6 Camaro. They are absolutely contemporary to each other. And explain to me how the ZL1 1LE doesn't engender "sensation and emotions". Explain that to me. Be specific. The simple fact is that the ZL1 1LE absolutely and completely RAPES the GT350R, never mind the regular GT350. That's all there is to it. Welcome to reality.

[@dudeshark2471]

Vernon Price man chill out. I’m not defending either because as it is they’re both overpriced compared to what you could build on your own. The GT350 is actually a 2015, and the ZL1 is at least a full year newer in reality. As for engagement, I’m guessing you’ve probably never driven either of them based off how you’re talking. Since I won’t be able to convey experience to you, even on paper the 350 brings more excitement through a much higher revving naturally aspirated engine. That’s obviously just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to driving that around a track or even just on the streets.

[@vernonprice5986]

+Dude Shark - "I’m not defending either because as it is they’re both overpriced compared to what you could build on your own." Good luck building anything that has aero equivalent to the ZL1 1LE in your back yard. "The GT350 is actually a 2015, and the ZL1 is at least a full year newer in reality. " The first model year of the GT350 was 2016, just like the gen 6 Camaro, which ALSO went on sale in 2015. As a 2016 model year. Just like the GT350. The ZL1 specifically was sold the next year, but it's still a gen 6 Camaro - obviously - and is contemporary to the GT350. "As for engagement, I’m guessing you’ve probably never driven either of them" I didn't ask you for your shitty opinion on whether I've driven them or not. I was very, very specific. I'll even repeat myself. Explain to me how the ZL1 1LE doesn't engender "sensation and emotions". Explain that to me. Be specific. "Since I won’t be able to convey experience to you" Oh, well that's awfully fucking convenient, isn't it? And you think that's going to get you off the hook? "even on paper the 350 brings more excitement through a much higher revving naturally aspirated engine. " According to who? You get excited by having vastly less torque and moving slower? Really? Because that doesn't do it for me. "That’s obviously just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to driving that around a track" Yes, the tip of a completely vague, inexplicable iceberg made out of feelings that cannot be expressed, somehow. But which you're sure I am unable to comprehend so I'm just going to take your word for it.

[@dudeshark2471]

Vernon Price man fuck off im not going to read a fucking fallacious, incomprehensible essay that some fanboy wrote in a pissed off storm because someone doesn’t like his car. You literally hear it all over not just youtube, but car magazines and real life that the 350 is more spirited so I guess everyone in the world is wrong but you?

[@ceansilorcaso5820]

I am looking forwards to buy this car but I hear about how bad is the ride for every day driving. I currently drive a 17 STI and I think the ride is very hard but I don't mind. So do you think the zl1 1le is harder than the STI?

[@XavierEyez]

Only reason I don’t like 350 (R or not) vs Camaro ZL1 comparisons is because while price points they are competitors, purpose wise they aren’t. The ZL1 is more akin to the GT500 coming up. And the 350 is akin to a Z28. I understand both the Z28 or and GT500 aren’t out. If I had the option, I would choose the Shelby just for convenience of a daily driver. bigger trunk opening, visibility and control.

[@nastang87xx]

Not a knock against you Eddie, the transmission is a Tremec TR6060, not the TR3160 found in the GT350.

[@rowboyto156]

Does the car vibrate crazy on idle too? Im assuming it came with solid engine mounts since its track ready

[@sergeyakinin997]

Actually the GT350s (R and standard) use a modified TR3160 while this (and every V8 Camaro) use a TR6060. The 3160 is lighter, as it doesn't have to deal with all the torque of a supercharged pushrod V8.

[@tonspike]

Awesome review... One question for you: which is more FUN to drive?

[@SrtHemiPower]

What does it run in the quarter

[@Ar938]

I’ve always been a Mustang fan but man, I still am. What? You thought this was going to be one of those comments?

[@Joe_Friday]

Surprisingly there has been one of these hanging out at my local dealership for months. I'd buy it inna second if I could afford it.

[@NATEDOGG175]

Eddie or anyone, what is that rock song at the beginning?

[@skeeterwiz]

When will you be getting a gt350? Waiting for those videos

[@VicViperXxXxX]

what does the ZL1 1LE have that the ZL1 does not have? is it just the out side mods?

[@EddieX]

Aero, suspension and tuning/calibration are the main differences.

[@EddyKutkov]

Have you actually considered a used c7 corvette or hellcat?

[@floridamaddogg]

I love my hellcat

[@GrimSRT8]

I’m going to go with a 1969 COPO 9560 ZL1 as a slightly (sarcasm) more bad ass Camaro. We could also talk about the Yenko, Baldwin, Dana, and other killer classic Camaros. As cool as a modern ZLE is, it if *FAR* from the most bad ass Camaro. There’s a reason why the 1969 COPO 9560 ZL1s are worth seven figures these days.

[@ace-lo1nq]

Actually this car with the 10 speed auto and 11 heat exchangers is faster than Z06 manual for sure. Now ZR1 is a different story

[@EddieX]

Yeah a ZR1 will destroy everything haha

[@datdudeinred]

Is the owner Indian? Because that OM symbol in interior is awesome for that guy... Respect...

[@larryhernandez5062]

Seeing things that are out dated I mean like the dash , and transmission . All All great car .

[@rocketbunnyboy]

Sweet review👌🏽💯

[@spidartanks]

Nice job. But tip. If you want to grow your channel you need to vlog around cars more. People who watch your videos want to be able to relate to your personality more too. All channels have gone this way. Fitness channels dont show workouts now they show the life style with a tiny bit of fitness involved for example. Great video but I wanna see you with more subs

[@spidartanks]

58k isn't over 60k! I was only offering constructive criticism. Not bashing!

[@duncancycles]

Great review!

[@EddieX]

Thanks!

[@TBSSPILOTviews]

The “smiles” sez it all 😎🤙🏽

[@EddieX]

Agreed :)

[@Jaz-Martin]

I like the look of the Camaros but the visibility in them are just not for me...Still an awesome car tho

[@silverbullet415]

Transmissions are not the same in the Zl1 and gt350

[@Crazyglues]

Awesome Video :)

[@Ayo_Linden]

Similar trans to GT350 but not the same

[@jay.0621]

Dude,you were in Ontario,Canada?

[@cattledecapitation7193]

I think that's where the owner of the car lives. Badass Camaro by the way! I own a 95 and absolutely love it. Planning on buying a 2002 Z28 and swapping the front end to a 93-97 and then purchase a ZL1as a primary!

[@Billeh556]

How the hell did you get this beast

[@TurninTrackOut]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3eXnXmggrSrgtE Eddie. I've driven both at the track. I really agree with your points. I've always been a mustang guy growing up and these two are splitting hairs. I am in the market for one of the two and I am going with the 1LE because of the torque and slightly more aggressive look. The straw that broke the camel's back for the GT350R is the high price they are still going for. Unfortunately, a plain GT350 just isn't the same as the R, even with the track pack and isn't as rare. Maybe when I get my 1LE I can take you on track (I think you're in the bay area too), they are both amazing. Oh and if I had to say what I like more about the GT350R...duh both sound good but the R is probably the best sounding car ever. Obviously there are a lot of cars I say that to but the R is insane. 1LE sounds amazing too, just saying.

[@UZB-0101]

GT350R anyday

[@dubby6221]

You should drive the ZL1 10 speed

[@DouEditz]

YA EDDIE!!!

[@thewiseguy390]

Why doesn’t this guy talk lol

[@Crazyglues]

He does in the other video eddieX also did -->kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYTdcn9jga11otk

[@pbear2010a]

Zl1 10 spd is faster 0-60

[@FPSacramento]

That's why autos win races

[@adamgriffin]

If you have to ask, you can’t handle it 😽

[@OpTicBl00d]

Intro song????

[@MrAlansordo]

Car is one of the best for the money. The steering wheel is a deal breaker lol

[@MrAlansordo]

It's much better than my gt350 in many ways and yet I still prefer my shelby over this track beast!

[@BrentTravelz]

This is the ONLY way a Camaro should’ve been made!!!! Don’t @ me!

[@Oliver0200]

Exterior I say Camaro, interior shelby. The rest, tie

[@atobg_]

I feel like it's the opposite Camaros have the better interior by far in my opinon

[@WWMMWWWMMMWWWWMMMM]

*Bow tie

[@null2268]

Lol the Camaro eats it in every way except sound (if you like the flat plane).

[@atobg_]

Captain Camaro visibility is trash tho

[@null2268]

stillouthere Lol that’s opinion. I think the mustang looks like trash. But I won’t use that in an argument. A ZL1 kills a GT350. Simple. They weren’t meant to compete and they don’t. It’s a total win on all fronts for the ZL1 except the “special” factor of the 350’s engine.

[@cjvaans4484]

The current gen will go up in value because the upcoming ones look like crap.

[@renaissanceman5847]

But it still looks like a Camaro... with a bunch of crap glued to it and a loud exhaust.... where I live Camaros and Mustangs are like assholes... everyones got one... Ive even seen tons of V6 models with all sorts of crap glued to it to make it look fast, same with Stangs. If your gonna spend the money on a ZL1 1LE your money is better spent on a Corvette, at least its in a class apart and not sold with I4s, and V6s that cheapen the experience of exclusivity.

[@tommyboy1986]

I agree mustangs and camraos are cheezy as fuck, I see old grandmas and shit driving these things everywhere their like the most common cars on the road nothing special about them at all. I think Corvettes a sick though.

[@SCROGY]

So you expect it to look like WHAT EXACTLY? This is the kind of pointless hatin' that makes millenials such obnoxious dicks.

[@tommyboy1986]

george giannopoulos ZL1 2015 2017 I was imagining that you were wearing a Bell bicycle helmet while I read your comment.....

[@voi7ed412]

so fucking cringe

[@tommyboy1986]

thanks for letting us know

[@DaLizMs]

ZL1/1LE bumper badges need delete.

[@gorillaump5869]

You just wanted to say delete....

[@DaLizMs]

@@gorillaump5869 yet I havent deleted anything of mine lol. 18 1SS 1LE. just blacked out lol.

[@thedamddino4893]

The new SS looks better in red though

[@EddieX]

Like the brand new one? The refresh looks kinda hideous...

[@akselcapuri]

Your Laguna seca looked better

[@7viewerlogic670]

Cool

[@dylanmartino7975]

An you almost smashed he’s zl1 lmaooooo an then you say you’re getting yours butt cooled wtf an you didn’t mention anything about how fast it shifts you should be embarrassed

Oops

[@yok2448]

Get a 1LE

[@bradstokes3067]

At what?

[@thatbaggeds5242]

Bless. team tamil from ontario lol

[@mavricxx]

Too bad the viz on this gorgeous car sucks and the 2019 looks hideous

[@cattledecapitation7193]

The 2019 ZL1 looks the same as the 2018 besides the tail lights. Only the SS models and lower look different

[@BobcatBart]

Bet it never sees a proper track.

[@EddieX]

How much would you like to bet? :P it's going to a track day next weekend.

[@rodrigoescobedo4570]

Sup eddie enjoy your content keep up the good work you inspired me to start an automotive page on Instagram (@ tuner_media_17) Great video as always the new Camaro is truly amazing

[@ericochoa4271]

can't wait to see the 2019 zl1 1le with that new piece of shit rear end 😧

[@EddieX]

I think the front end is worse. They left the ZL1 alone for now tho.

[@ericochoa4271]

EddieX I know that's why I mentioned the rear end on the zl1 only

[@moneyparhar]

Camaro ZL1 1LE is nice but for that price I will get 997.1 turbo

[@dudeshark2471]

911 H20Cooled you’d be in the slower car tho?

[@rayrocco2978]

Take a Home Equity loan on your House and get the All new Monster 2019 Fastest 911 GT2-RS Ever Made !!! You will probably Pay 280 Grand after Adding a 50 K Dollar Option that knocks off almost 500 LB's off the 911's 4000 LB's Curb weight to about 3500 LB's with a Twin Turbo 711 HP Motor ! No way your losing a Race ! Even though Its not set up for the Drag, Car is still in the Low 10's on the Quarter and possibly better if you get the Lightweight Option !! 0 TO 60 in 2.6 seconds with top speed of 211 MPH !!! Please Don't let Chevy Knuckleheads tell you The Camaro will beat it ! This Porsche will beat both, ZL1 And Corvette ZR1 !!!

[@northamericanauto43]

First!

[@daverr8163]

Cars are boring

[@WWMMWWWMMMWWWWMMMM]

Daverr you’re right. Just need something that gets people where they need to go. Automotive engineering and research is just superfluous and a waste of time and money at this point. All cars should just be like a ‘98 camry and that’s it.

[@thomasbennett7868]

Daverr go back to the poetry side of KZbin then, talk about boring

[@daverr8163]

Go to a new car dealership of any kind and you’ll notice a trend that nobody is buying cars . The cars just sit on the lot like flower pots. Ford is getting rid of almost all of their cars , who else will be next chevy, Honda ,Volkswagen ?? Car sales are at an all time low because their boring and all look the same. They all are going to be discontinued like Saab ,Oldsmobile , Plymouth , Pontiac etc

[@thomasbennett7868]

Daverr then what is exciting to you? This video is talking about performance cars and you're talking about regular, economy, sedan cars, etc. obviously those are boring
