2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE Review - HOW IS THIS STREET LEGAL?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- 650 hp, 650 ft*lbs, manual gearbox, 325 section rear tires with no heat in them on a bumpy canyon road... welp. Let's just try to stay alive, shall we?
See how the ZL1 1LE stacks up in the Zygrene Performance Index (ZPI):

I daily mine and it’s perfectly fine! It’s a drivers car guys I have fun every single day driving it !
Meet too lol
I am in the market for a muscle car and I am looking for the ZL1 - 1LE but I keep hearing the ride is too hard for daily driving? I don't think so. But I have 17 WRX STi and ride is a little hard but you can live with that. So how bad is the ZL1 - 1LE?
@dabz if you cant handle it you can change to K&W V3 suspension. much smoother and pretty much as capable on the track. they cost like 2 or 3k
Ceansilor Caso I live in az and it’s not that bad bro tbh I love it
Glad to see you review this one, I just went from NSX to this exact model, with 865 wheel. This isn't a car for a bumpy road, it's a track car and a hell of a blast to drive.
Wow 865 wheel? How'd you gain the 300?
@@Zygrene Whipple, Heads, Cam ect.... Here is my car. If you get around ATL come review it. ua-cam.com/video/AZL_se8zIOQ/v-deo.html
The garage is still in NSX decor so you'll feel right at home =) In the NSX FB group as Mercxus Warr, if you'd rather send a DM.
I never liked the ZL1 until I got to drive one,now I fanboy over this car😂😂😂
The GT350's and GT350R's are being sold at MSRP or below right now as well. They were selling them with markup when they first came out, but for the last year they've been sitting on lots and are really trying to clear them out to make way for the GT500.
honestly i dont think that the zl1 1le is to hard for the road, i just think that you construction workers wore a blindfold while making these streets.
i drove one over the german Autobahn and it was so nice + our backroads are really good so i never felt that abused by the car, like many people say. its still harsh though but i have expirienced much much harsher tuning suspensions. so its not that bad even more so if you have good streets.
When honda boi drives a car with some power " how is this street legal?"
Those traction issues can easily be solved by a street tire (Michelin PS4S). The stock tires take a long time to get heat in them (stiff sidewall also does not help with the ride quality as this is meant for the track only). With those PS4S tires, this car becomes one of the finest backroad carving tools this side of Detroit. Ask me how I know 😉
One of the reasons I want to try the SS 1LE. Street tires, street suspension, still plenty of power
I just drove that car my self! What a machine
Wow! This car is crazy! That thing is intense!!!! Great review, Fenton! 👍
As close as you can get to Road-legal GT4 racer Camaro
I love my ZL1 1LE 10 Speed is a Beast
@@Ennuibody k🙃 is very fast the ZL11LE Auto
@@georgegiannopouloscamarozl1028 What about the 6 speed as a daily driver with Michelin PS4S tires And Michelin Alpin snow tires for winter?
@@ParissaKhoury is fast car the ZL1 1LE but I swear 10 Speed is a rocket very fast car has a lot of power and top speed.i have a problem with the throttle so much power torque drive it and you will understand is a monster no one comes near me ferrari lamborghini mclaren mustang dodge hellcat demon 🤣🤣🤣instagram.com/p/B5N_tEmn2Nt/?igshid=e657mh2619re
get a manual, its more fun and be a real man
@@davidpineda645 ZL1 1LE 10 Speed is a launch rocket already beat the Ford Mustang GT500 Dodge Redeye🤣🏌️✈️
Hey man, could you try and source a ZL1, non 1LE package for review? I would greatly appreciate it.
I would love to see this going up China Grade.
I love mine but I put street tires on it the 2nd day of owning it. Not that much different but a little bit more traction until high speed, can't wait to track it though
Great owner and car! I’d love to see you review the SS 1LE. I think it would be more canyon friendly. Also has great steering and shifter. I’ve only done a test drive but I was very impressed. The SS non-1LE is also a great machine and they’re getting under $25k used. The Mustangs I’ve driven, none Shelby’s, felt handled and handle badly imho. The Camaro is purpose built.
SS 1LE vs GT350 is top of my list of comparisons I want to film!
@@Zygrene see some brand new SS 1LE for 36k vs 65k gt350 makes it no brainer
Whoa, where can you get a new SS 1LE for 36k?
@@Zygrene there kinda weird to search on autotrader but do no limit on distance, V8, manual, price between 35-37k. There's actually a white one for 35k right now lol
@@Zygrene I got mine for 38k with PDR in 2018
Do you know when you will get the chance to review a GT350? I have an AP2 S2000 and am looking to move up to the Shelby soon and would like to know your thoughts once you drive it.
Unfortunately I don't know anyone who owns one. I'm super curious myself.
Still waiting for the review on track...or on the street with street tires like PS4S :-)
Got lots of track videos here of me. Maybe we can finally get that review video this year @zygrene ua-cam.com/users/weems84videos
The owner of the car extremely nervous as the driver opens up the throttle.😂 I would be as well what a nice car.
Man, that's a gorgeous car!
Waited for this review. If I was a baller, I would get one. From your review, looks like it's not made for the street. Well said about American vehicle.
It not only looks rough, it sounds like is is bashing itself to death on every tiny bump
Literally had to almost change my pants the first 10 seconds in
I like the SpeedSF shirt. Fun car isn't it ;)
I can only imagine how much fun you have with yours at Laguna lol
@@Zygrene Really hope you get to take his out there. Everything you said about the car on the mountain roads (totally recognized all of those, haha) is completely true. Not very fun as a weekend cruiser or cruiser in general. I've taken mine to Alice's once or twice and literally got air off all four tires at the same time at one point. Not confidence inspiring at all; however, you will certainly find the opposite experience at the track. Quite literally one of the best cars for under $100k ever for track use. Just please please note that you need to warm up the tires completely (Goodyear 3Rs) before getting on it. I've seen bad things happen to multiple owners when not expecting how slippery they are.
I just picked up my 2020 zle last week and these R compounds are like ice skating. Especially since its cooler here and a little wet in the bay area now :( @turnintrackout a little birdy at porsche told me you trading up to a gt3. What prompted that?
@@SVBoosted I'm sure I will have a lot of videos coming to talk about the going of the Camaro and the coming of the GT3(RS?)...To answer simply: the Camaro is the most fun and everything I'm looking for as a track car. When I bought the car I had my truck, a trailer, and a daily. I got rid of everything but the Camaro and want something more dynamic to keep it to 1 car (or maybe 2 if adding a crappy daily). I drove the Camaro today and it's killing my soul that it will be gone soon. When I trailer'd the car and/or only used it at the track, I never had the thought of selling it.
...that and I'm in the position in my life now to get the next car. It's something I've wanted to do and partially why I downsized 'the family.'
What’s speed shift?

Track video?
