The One With The 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1! World's Fastest Car Show Episode 3.4

[@tokyoexpressway]

I'm a Japanese car guy, but this car I would definitely buy in a heartbeat if I was in the market. Killer car.

[@doublen675]

I'm a Ford guy personally, but Chevy did an amazing job on the ZL1.

[@WolverineNerd]

That LSA V8 inside that ZL1 sounds beast!!! Best world's fastest car show episode yet.

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Good point - some cars its easier to give more coverage of the interior. With the Camaro, we felt it was more about the experience of driving it. But you do have a point! JB

[@frankiemartinez8824]

Zl1 camaros will go up in value . Since gm will kill the camaro once more

[@tearitdown99]

Love my ZL1! :)

[@barthallimixthe2th698]

You have good taste in cars, will be a least a decade before I can afford that.

[@JacobMayo-d2z]

Do you still have it??

[@JacobMayo-d2z]

@@barthallimixthe2th698me too brother

[@MotorTrendWatch]

No - I think you are absolutely correct. I think the same. It has those big square haunches that give it such a strong stance. JB

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Thanks for the nice comment. We are just getting going so hopefully it just gets better each week! JB

[@HesteBremse]

Must be my favorite US muscle Car atm and I´m not such a big fan of US cars in general but this does it for me, looks great inside and outside, drives well on track and on the road and has the grunt a muscle car should have. Also remembering the way this car came to life and how close the production was to the Concept - that is something that can not be said about a many cars. So just thumps up for this American muscle.

[@joshup1275]

One of my favorite camaros ever

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Don't you think that is pretty quick? A lot of power to put down to the ground from launch, and the traction control does its best to keep up with it! JB

[@MotorTrendWatch]

That is the correct top speed. You can hit 184 mph when using the automatic transmission or 180 mph when using the manual. Either way, it's bloody fast and tough to find somewhere you could stay full throttle long enough to reach it! JB

[@DariusHammond]

That was a fast 8 minutes. I was actually dialed in the entire time. More Justin Bell please!

[@Samyouell11510]

Finally somebody with some reason! I hate when people just bash American cars, or just bash European cars.....I love them all.

[@TheCireMC]

I'm glad he finally slowed down and talked a little in depth about the car!

[@TheBlackranger63]

Great show! Love the format and the obvious play on words "world's fastest car show" thus the hyper pace of the reviews and the quick cuts in and out during editing. The host has lots of credentials as a driver and a racer but down plays all of that with his attention grabbing wit and style of dress, thumbs up from where I sit. I'm a true car fan so I can appreciate the differences, major or minor between the cars he is blessed to drive. Drive what you love, love what you drive!!

[@sugaintheraw1]

My little remote version of this car from Radio Shack handles just like the one above...and it's SUPER FAST (with racing sounds)...go Radio Shack...only $17-20 bucks too.

[@dddontae]

The camaro is better than the gt500 in every way but I will admit the mustang can win in a straight line but that's it! Anf if you want to go say the gt500 is faster then y dont we bring out the 707 hp Hennessy camaro now who's staying home?!! (GT500)

[@rdaffon23]

where does this slot into since the Z28 version is soon to be released? is the ZL1 slotted higher or lower?

[@justinbelltv]

Hi - its the Breitling Bentley Le Mans watch. They made 1000 of them to celebrate their victory at Le Mans. I got #53 as that was the number of the car I won in. Its kind of cool as it has a hand for each of the 24 hours not just the normal 12. Makes it bloody hard to tell the time..looks cool though!

[@nzigga06]

much better than previous episodes!

[@DivineFrag]

Why not? It looks great... way better than a mustang. (design wise)

[@killjoyken]

This review was much, much better than the last one. I was ready to give up on Bell, but it's nice to see him improving. He's no Carlos, but entertaining none the less.

[@CanineMinefield]

That was way better than the last episode

[@lonersanonymous]

I know Justin's been getting a bit of criticism for his segments, but you gotta keep in mind he's quite new to this so give him a chance. He's going to improve and this was probably his best segment yet so he's learning quick :)

[@mikeyg9833]

Did you know guitarmegedonzl1 has 2 zl1s?

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Thank you for noticing. My director loves to do that, especially to put across details that are tough to describe verbally. JB

[@SadboiShinobi22]

You made me appreciate it a little more than this video did! I like Camaros but I think the rest of the US industry should step up. The Mustang isn't that bad either but the cars could get better

[@TXBlackKnight88]

Great video, this coming from a 2013 Mustang GT owner. I love my car and have handed plenty of SS's a ass kicking on the road course. But these ZL1's and 1LE's are the performance bargains for road course work.

[@jax1079]

Great job, Justin. Screw the hater.

[@fasnuf]

4:10 What Chevy didn't do right in the ZL1 was give it the 427 like the original ZL1. That was reserved for the Z/28. No idea what they were thinking.

[@JerkVegas86]

Should have been the other way around.

[@Dgannt]

May be so but the SLS is as usual more refined and luxurious. The Viper is still loud (in the car) and hot because of those exhaust pipes even though they tried to improve it. And we have the sometimes dangerous handling. As Carlos Lago said after the test drive: some may call it uncompromising others might just call it miserable. But when it comes to performance at low price, nothing beats US cars.

[@Blackneck1994]

Depends on the LS engine to me. I really like all the gen IV stuff, especially the LS3/7. I like the JZ engines a LOT though. They come with stout internals and a really good flowing cylinder head. 2 things that are ideal for boost. I'm just a big fan of straight 6s in general!

[@MrStarman1978]

I like this guy! Unlike their other reviewers that uses too much adjectives in one sentence!

[@sergioserrano4167]

Races in the 24 hours of Le Mans from 92' through 96'. Won the FIA GT championship in 97'. Then went on to race in the trans am series winning on multiple occasions.

[@Hossdelux]

SpeedTV presenter (Barrett-Jackson Auction show mostly) and all round awesome guy.

[@infinithope]

Does anybody know witch engine has the camaro zl1 and the camaro ss ? Z28 as well Plz plz

[@moremonster]

I know how to spell "which". Maybe that is why I own a ZL1.

[@nicoliasglock17]

Z/28 has an LS7

[@chasegauf924]

ZL1 has a 6.2 LSA (580hp) , the SS has a 6.2 LS3 (426hp), and the Z28 has a 7.0 LS7 (505hp)

[@trackintegra99]

nice, the sound and editing is much better than before.

[@Pinoyako11705]

I did! I was cross shopping for a weekend/other car (my daily is a Sentra) between a new Camaro, new Honda Accord Coupe V6 and used 335is. I test drove all of them and I did like the Camaro's driving experience (the salesman let me go nuts) but when driving in traffic I noticed it was a much more white-knuckled experience compared to the others. In the end, I decided to put my 2nd car shopping on hold to help my mom pay off her Volvo. If I had to choose though, I probably would've gone Honda.

[@dailydoseofcandy]

Great job! You captured the excitement of the car.

[@Idoloish]

"May be so but the SLS is as usual more refined and luxurious." True, although I've heard mixed stories about the Viper as a road car.

[@_moore]

I love the "Britishness" he brings to this. "Bad arse" and "bloody get on it".

[@deathkloxify]

I just fell in love again with the Camaro

[@KendallsFather]

yeah they are, 2014 Z28, its a 427 small block, LS-7 500 horse.......

[@GOINFINITI]

I really like the short facts you incorporate into your videos as subtext below.

[@jkash255]

nice review. better than the first episode. keep them coming

[@09blackcobaltss]

Awesome video Justin great job!

[@JcCameron93]

nice video i'm starting to enjoy these now.

[@not2quick]

What about the clutch feel? The shifter, the transmission??

[@D.Magic_]

Very nice video I enjoyed it

[@isaachunt5799]

gen5 camaro's are amazing cars.. light years ahead of those pos s550 mustangs...i owned an s550 for a year...the pos was no where near as good to drive as the gen5 camaro

[@Ws6Ms]

facts

[@marcussatterwhite]

Nice ride! It's about time!

[@olegdavidov555]

thanks for the clip

[@kumbackquatsta]

solid rear axle?

[@GeneralNgo]

Just for reference, that Nurburgring lap time is about 2 seconds faster than a 2010 GT-R. Well worth the money IMO

[@bennychan723able]

Very good review!!!

[@2013FiveOh]

Unless we're talking about carbon ceramics, factory brake pads are meant to work in normal conditions, and can survive for a while under stress, but ultimately, any muscle car (ANY) needs a set of track-compound brake pads designed for maximum performance under hot temps if the car is going to see track duty. Ever actually been to a track? That being said, the ZL1 heat soaks due to a weak cooling system and cast hypereutectic pistons, which run 20 degrees hotter than the GT500's forgings.

[@pontiacGXPfan]

The best possible reason to buy the ZL1 is the sound

[@MrOnemanop]

...The Challenger was a '70's car.....And now it's a thoroughly modern car...which accounts for the weight gain, but I respect your right not to want one, actually I'm glad so many don't like them, I've worked hard to afford mine and I like that I don't see so many other (SRT's). have a nice day.

[@chadsingleton7632]

I don't understand your comment.but my daily driver is a 2011 Camaro 2SS Synergy.however I would take the current challenger over what Fiat/SRT is going to turn it into if predictions on the CUDA are correct.

[@lugia1900]

What was the 60-0 braking time?

[@ThePandaBeat]

Nice review Justin. Keep them coming.

[@Animusgam]

I'm talking about the Ford GT500, it hits 200mph and it's priced under 60k, where else can you find are car like that?

[@grannman]

Good overview.

[@2gd4u615]

Loved this episode

[@SwPiotrek]

I like this guy and this Camaro.

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Hah - thanks! You know on the road it feels very quick - great power. JB

[@ItsXXnotXXme]

I'm going to be honest MotorTrend his show is for non-car people so it will impress the hell out of the I would rather watch Carlos review this car.

[@graemegutierrez4179]

Well said my friend... well said

[@SupercarsGT]

The best Camaro of all times :)

[@ClassfiedGaming]

So if the visibility was better y ou would have gotten the Camaro? And what didn't you like about the 335is?

[@SadboiShinobi22]

I thought the G8 was awesome too but yeah I definitely see all your points

[@Idoloish]

player1vladimir: "I don't know anything about cars." And it shows. They derived the SLS from the Viper pretty much the same way they derived the McLaren F1 from the Honda NSX.

[@Sunthaz]

And you are absolutely right with that point, but the original comment still was simply about the 911 being faster, just a simple, undeniable statement.

[@torybush2118]

The mustang that you're talking about Is also a 2 seater because they put a rear seat delete in and it also cost 20,000 more than a zl1

[@iLykeCahrs]

yes, that is true also. but look the direction their competition went with the camaro. the zl1 is a track monster, although it is just an australian car, they made it eat a track better than anything >90k. the 'muscle' car has evolved into cheap, heavy, sports cars with high hp. i like it. i mean look at the challenger. thats more true of a muscle car. yet, they are following in the direction of track performance such as ford and chevrolet

[@naptimewithturtles2]

This is more than a muscle car, much more. It's capable of lap times beyond some "sports cars".

[@Flabernat]

The ZL1 is just damn impressive. Ridicules straight line speed and incredible track performance,... it's the best of both worlds. There's also the 1LE & upcoming Z/28! I wonder if we'll see a new Boss soon,and Dodge has got to be working on some kind of track-oriented Challenger(I hope)... :-D

[@quangmac6928]

i very like that ZL1

[@chadsingleton7632]

Yep if you know how to work the stickshift an LS3 Camaro SS can easily get over 20mpg with 426 hp I do it all the time.

[@JRBORIQUA7]

Can you guys play the review for the 2010 2 SS Camaro

[@winsevenholic]

nice car and, great video!

[@SelectiveSocial401]

I love Camaros!

[@xavier90968]

Yo, I just love that car a lot

[@TheDsFDaniel]

im sorry, im european, and I have to admit that the american musclecars are the best bang for the buck on the market right now. 580 horses for 55000 dollars. You just can't find that with any european ones

[@gregorylozado9083]

not try they did test them and the zl1 was only 2 seconds slower on the track i think but it has all wheel drive so its not in the same class to began with.

[@ZuezMZ]

4:06 I like the way he says "badass"

[@AIRFORCEFREAK1]

We really don't make alot of good average cars. The engines just don't last but also German and European cars also have insane upkeep costs.

[@TheGeorgeLara]

amen

[@lamarkx2259]

I wish I got a ZL1 Camaro I have a 2015 2L2 though

[@EsquireQuinton]

I'd like to see GM come up with a new RWD chassis. There isn't anything wrong with this one, I suppose, but it's been in use since before the 2004 GTO was in production I believe. It's nearly 10 years old now and could use a revamp, in my opinion.

[@RedOct74LH]

Id still rather a Commodore SS or GTS if its a GM car, and as for the Blue Oval then a Falcon GT. both are excellent motor cars

[@desimunda116]

how much does that cost again?

[@chadsingleton7632]

I understand your opinion on fords purposed evolution of the mustang.that should hold true with fords whole lineup this same thinking is what took ford out of the dark ages.there mid 90s cars wasnt much different than the cars they made in the mid 70s.but a ponycar is a different animal.not only is it an icon its the reason ford still exist.the V8 and the caveman live axle make it a mustang.

[@TheNuno190]

I love the GTR more than the ZL1 but you do make good points of view

[@2013FiveOh]

The 2013 GT500 was actually featured in the best drivers car competition BTW, and since you asked, it's faster (around a track) than the Audi R8, the Audi R8 V10 ($200,000) the Porsche 911 GT3 and every Porsche 911 / Boxter / Cayman that is under it. It's also faster than the Mercedes SLS AMG, and in a straight line, it is similar to the Corvette C6 Z06 and the Nissan GT-R, trapping 175 mph in the standing mile straight from the factory, 190+ mph in the mile with a pulley and a tune.

[@klstrucker930419]

Justin, or Motortrend, can you make a video about advanced track driving techniques? Like trail braking, left foot braking etc?

[@Holexification]

idk who he is, but i like him :)

[@ClassfiedGaming]

Have you driven one? It is not that bad. Definitely livable if you know how to drive.

[@oldfashionedwrx3574]

Great car! very cool car!
