I really appreciate how joe shows the pov of him driving. A lot of car youtubers should learn from him like all they do while reviewing and driving is show their face
I have a 2019 with the 10-speed. I'm usually a manual die-hard, but the 10 speed is that good for the best acceleration numbers and putting down the power fluidly. I know the new Vette is getting the attention and rightfully so. But this car has a better power to weight ratio, supercharged from the factory, with more intercoolers (11) than a Bugatti Veyron. Also w/ rear seats and can also pull over 1g in handling with exceptional stopping power and magnetic ride. There aren't too many cars that look this muscular and aggressive on the road.
@@gregholman2930 Yea this car is capable of a high 10 second run with good conditions and launch on just the stock tires. There are several vids like this on youtube ua-cam.com/video/rTUv2p4T7OA/v-deo.html Not the norm, but definitely possible.
THIS is the Camaro Chevy nailed the look 100%! If the SS had the ZL1 front fascia it would be in my garage now. I’m currently stalking a CPO ZL1... this thing is a beast
I just bought me the 2021 camaro ZL1 1LE package with the 6.2 supercharger....I was doing 130 and it felt like I wasn't moving...this car is vicious...it gets up and moves very fast....I wanted a New Vette, but I wasn't waiting for over a year wait to be built....so I bought the camaro....
I love your reviews on Camaros :) I have a 19' 1lt and This is 100% my dream car. I also think the 10 speed automatic is so smooth with transitions, its a no brainier.
Who doesn't love some good ole American muscle? Alpha platform GM cars are so sick, and I cannot wait to see the next evolution of power like this in the C8!
I don't know how many of you have figured this out but if you ever meet Joe in person, give him a hug and kiss his left cheek (has to be his left), he will give you a "Raiti's Rides" kazoo and a vintage $2 bill. If you're really lucky, and get to hug him for longer than ten seconds, he'll even throw in a personalized restraining order. True story.
The absolute sickest, murdered out 650 pavement shredding HP and Gobs Of earth moving torque. OMG 4000lbs. This thing is a quick beast. 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. All that and for no extra charge you can’t see out out of This Camaro. I wonder how the rear vision will be on the C8?
I have a 2018 zl1 and these things look way better in person low wide I love mine in grey with the 10 speed auto. Not feeling the rear lights on the 2019.
I rode in one of these today. Coworker bought it back in May. We work at a Chevy collision center for a dealer so he was able to buy it about $8000 off of sticker. Anyway, holy shit this car is fast! It literally leaps forward when you stab the throttle. No reason to go to manual shift mode, you couldn't shift fast enough to beat the auto shift. It really runs through the gears quick. Amazing power and the traction is on point. Nice little bonus he put the top down as we cruised around on an 85 degree Arizona day. GM built this one right.
Really glad to see Joe has finally gained access to my dream vault BECAUSE this car is a dream car and high up on the to-acquire-list. Thanks for bringing this one Joe, thanks so much!
Haiti's rides, Unfortunately, my dad had to pass away for me to afford this, my dream car. I owned a 94 z28 with six speed manual, flowmaster, Hurst shifter back in the late 90's. I'm looking to obtain a zl1 with that fantastic sounding 10 speed auto. But I am guessing that the shopping aspect of a pretty exclusive model such as this will be a bit painstaking.
I had a 2000 with the Hurst. That was the best shifter in the world, and I have had 3 Corvettes since. The car... would shred the tires, then the thrill was gone. It was all torque and no speed.
Great review Joe. I have the manual and would love to try the automatic. The interactive experience with this car is just mind blowing. That being said, I am sure the automatic is faster than and human could react. I wish I could have both!
My mustang is a lil bit nervous right now. I think she think I'm going to divorce her after watching this. 🤔 That is a one nice ride and the shifting of the auto is like having GOD in control of the shifts. It seems to keep it in the right range during acceleration and it's so quick. I wouldn't be ashamed to say I have auto if this was it
I bought the 2019 ZL1 last June, and I have to agree, it is truly a beast. Mine is in the Satin Steel Grey Metallic, and as soon as I got it home I did the full paint correction and ceramic coating. I have put off doing any performance modifications on it yet since i don't want to mess with the computer to do a tune. I did add the RotoFab CAI and it changes the way you hear the supercharger whine. Absolutely love it. The Goodyear F1 Supercar tires glue it to the road in dry conditions, but I got caught in a south Louisiana downpour one afternoon, and had to drop down to 50 mph on the interstate to keep it from hydroplaning. Over 12" of rubber on the ground on the rears.
I had a heads up display and mag shocks in 2003. On my 50TH annv Vette...the shocks work. Their's a video out there. Shocks keep the car on the ground over bumps.....their filled with special oil and tiny particals that form a solid fluid over small bumps
Great review, Joe. This is a beautiful car, except, as you say, the spoiler. It's almost identical to the one I had on a 1993 Cavalier Z24, which happened to be a black car also. Nevertheless, I am ordering this car.
OMG!!!!!!! JOE THIS IS THE WAY TO GO, FORGET ABOUT THE MUSTANG GT 5.0 THIS IS GOD ON HIS THRONE. THE PURE INTENSITY OF THAT SUPERCHARGED LT4 IS ABSOLUTELY BONKERS I MEAN IT I ABSOLUTELY DO AND LOVE IT. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS JOE. THANKS JOE. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND REVIEWS. YOU'VE MADE MY DAY!!♥️♥️🤝🤝🤝🤝.
Chevy knocked it out of the park with the ZL1. That's how a muscle car should sound. If their was someone I wish chevy would change is their turn signal and wiper levers. They look and feel outdated. Over all the Camaro is great, however its competitors Charger/Challenger and Mustangs. Their cable size is larger, I kind of feel claustrophobic in the Camaro.
I have that same 10 speed in my '18 Mustang GT, and once you tune it and get rid of the factory slush box programming, let me tell ya...its a whole new and super aggressive/hard shifting animal for sure! You never leave the power band once you mash your foot through the floor til ya let off...its ridiculously fun to eat up more powerful stick cars on launches with a drag wheel/tire set up.
@@Darth_Zeus My tuner is Torrie McPhail who owns Unleashed Tuning in St. Augustine, FL. Best advice I can give ya is to get on the Camaro forum and read up about who people say are the best tuners working with this platform and choose one. The difference in my A10 transmission from stock programming, to adding long tube headers and an E85 tune is night and day different (about 80 more whp and super aggressive shifts). Hope that helps.
As incredible as the ZL1 is, no way in hell would I buy it with an automatic! I don't care about 0-60 or 1/4 mile times, it's all about being one with the car, and only a 3 pedal car can give you that. This car is built for the twisties anyway, where you really want a manual. Great review brother!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻 #savethemanuals
In sport mode if you just floor it and let off the a10 will go into performance shift mode and nobody doing reviews ever does it. It becomes a wild beast.
The biggest flaw in the Camaro is the interior. Pure crap, especially for the money. They should bring in a couple of Audi engineers to show them how to do it right
@@hpickettz34 That's my point, for 80 grand, the interior should be much nicer. The sunk costs and tooling for the drivetrain in this car has been paid off long ago. GM needs to cut loose with some coin.
Powerful rear wheel drive cars aren't on my buying radar they're way too fish tailing out of control dangerous, traction control helps but what really helps is a good AWD system. So my recommendation is looking at Audi first since they pretty much brought AWD to the market and racing. There are other AWD rides, just pick whatever floats your boat but from first hand experience I will NEVER buy RWD, once you go AWD you never go back. I'm ALL IN on Max Traction in any condition.
Max Facts - I'll agree from the perspective that 90% of motorists have about as much driving talent as Stevie Wonder. I've been arguing for years that any vehicle that weighs under 4,000lbs, and has more than 400hp, shouldn't even be available with an automatic transmission. It's far too easy for any idiot to get into one of these Hellcats (or ZL1s) and kill themselves or someone else because they have no experience or capability driving this type of machine. For those of us who CAN drive (I drive cars and motorcycles professionally), while I love a great AWD system, give me RWD for performance driving every time. Cheers.
@@RaitisRides After years of riding around in powerful belly dragging RWD cars I switched to AWD and loved the added the all weather traction AWD offers. Then I made the move to AWD SUVs and liked the added ground clearance, anything around 8 inches should be fine for potholes, parking without damaging the front air dam, steeply angled driveways, and a little off road fun. Depending on what your buying budget is the Audi SQ5 might be a good fun, practical, and safe ride. I'm really considering the new Ford Explorer ST w/Street Package as my next ride with its 5600 tow rating but I can't find the AWD Facts so until I do I'm not pulling the next ride trigger.
@@kingbrutusxxvi RWD is fun, YES but when the conditions get tough (weather, sand, rain, ice, and snow) powerful RWD vehicles are downright dangerous. I have personly lost a friend driving a Mustang in the rain. A vehicle with a sophisticated AWD system is the First thing I need to add it to my short list of rides to buy. You're a Pro so you're good to go have some tail wagging drifting fun but like you wrote 90% of motorists are not so for the most part AWD is what I would recommend. I too had lots of fun RWD powerful rides but I did spin out a few times and luckily never hit anyone. My first AWD ride was the 3 Torsen Differential Audi V8 and its been ALL AWD since then. btw: Audi DOMINATED Racing so much that they had to change the rules and ban AWD so as far as performance goes AWD kicks RWD off the track.
With the zl1 you would be surprised how well it handles its power, even when you push it on the track, the Chevrolet traction control system keeps the car in check, now if you turn everything off that's on you, im still shocked how great this car handles, considering how much it weights,.
that is one mean looking car.....I owned a 10 and only kept it for 6 months...view is horrible and dangerous when changing lanes in heavy traffic....can't count the times I heard horns when changing lanes, although the side mirrors look much wider and larger now. Still such a nice looking car.
Damn........... I'm debating on whether to trade in my 2014 Camaro SS for a 5th gen ZL1, C7 Grand Sport, or a C6 Z06........ Come next summer the prices will be crazy once the C8 hits dealerships......
Hey Joe, are you planning on doing something for the Scottsdale Barret Jackson auction. I think that would be a cool idea to do some live stream videos. Such a huge car event. Great review, thanks!
I wish I was having to make this decision. I own a Dodge Challenger. But I wish I could afford all the muscle cars. American cars are such a great value for the price. God bless you.
hi I have a recommendation, you can bring some blue tape to cover the speedometer so you don't have to put a big box in the middle of the footage. Congraz on the 100k btw.
Joe , Don't know where Your Camera is mounted in this car ride But it's working... That was BAD ASS ! audio sounds Great Also.... Thanks That was FUN !!! Keep doing what your doing.. It's working !
So many cool cars, so little money!!

My Sentiment Exactly! This world without beautiful fast cars wouldn't be worth living, except for Jesus Christ of course!

10 speed for highway grudge racing is near unbeatable, esp with bolt ons
The answer to this question is a resounding hell YES!
This is the CAMARO I’ve EVER seen in years. I hope to get one of these,ALL BLCK. The back in look good though,those Rims are jaw dropping. 😁😁😁
Thank you joe you actually listen to your subscribers
The exhaust sound 😍
AGREED!
I still think the GT350 sounds better.
Since Australia don’t make our own Holden v8’s anymore I like to thank America for giving us this beautiful beast❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It is a good dream car to have!
After a while I would get bored of not using my left foot and switching gears.
That's why you have two cars like a WRX for those occasions!
The ZL1, would look menacing, in pink!
AGREED!
Also, see if they have any Chevy SS' that you can review, such an underrated car that flew under people's radar it's basically a 4 door Camaro!
I want to track on e of those down!
Short answer … Hells Yes
AGREED!
I’ve always wanted a camarón, and the zl1 is my goal, saving up, hopefully get it soon
that is one mean looking car.....I owned a 10 and only kept it for 6 months...view is horrible and dangerous when changing lanes in heavy traffic....can't count the times I heard horns when changing lanes, although the side mirrors look much wider and larger now. Still such a nice looking car.
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
RAITIS I GOT MY
2023 CAMARO ZL1 6 SPEED MANUAL
LOVE ❤️ 😍
Looks like a sweet ride. I’m sure it turns a lot of heads.
You better believe that!
I know that's right!!
I love everything about this one! Everything.
I am so glad that I could share this one with you Al!
What do you think about doing a video of top 5 favorite sports cars, truck and SUVs you've test?
That is such a great idea Justin! I will put that together!
I was thinking of comparing the Hellcat & the SRT Cherokee along with the Camaro!
He could do the video in his garage and use the footage he already has and talk about it
Love the sound, but the visibility kills it for me. Love the outside as well.
Damn........... I'm debating on whether to trade in my 2014 Camaro SS for a 5th gen ZL1, C7 Grand Sport, or a C6 Z06........ Come next summer the prices will be crazy once the C8 hits dealerships......
Hey Joe, are you planning on doing something for the Scottsdale Barret Jackson auction. I think that would be a cool idea to do some live stream videos. Such a huge car event. Great review, thanks!
That is a great idea John! I am going to have to wait for next year though. I want to get to the LA Auto Show this year!
@@RaitisRides Awesome! Looking forward to that. Thanks!
No problem!
I wish I was having to make this decision. I own a Dodge Challenger. But I wish I could afford all the muscle cars. American cars are such a great value for the price. God bless you.
I totally understand where you are comig from!
Isn’t this one like 25 grand ?
Damn bro, the guys in background in the beginning seems like they in a heated discussion
I know right! LOL
hi I have a recommendation, you can bring some blue tape to cover the speedometer so you don't have to put a big box in the middle of the footage. Congraz on the 100k btw.
Thanks for the feedback Mario! Thanks for your kind words!
Absolutely sick I want one in my garage
Trust me I know how you feel!
Joe , Don't know where Your Camera is mounted in this car ride But it's working... That was BAD ASS ! audio sounds Great Also.... Thanks That was FUN !!! Keep doing what your doing.. It's working !
Kenny you are the man!
Love that bad boy ZL1, it’s so good that even the new Mustang GT500 will barely be better and cost you $30-$40K more. This is a no brainer.
D Nice ZL1 much better car.
The GT500 is around 5k more and has 110 more horsepower lmao
Badass...Hard to choose between black or white
That's what she said🤣
AGREED!
OMG! LOL
damn beautiful
I totally agree with you!
Don't say that out loud or your girl will get pissed!
Still looking for the 6speed manual transmission
Ask and you shall receive! Click the link at the end of the video!
Isn’t it a 7 speed Manuel?
Legend has it that the 2019 zl1 concept was so ugly they had to use the same generation over again
I don't doubt it!
I'll take the zl1 over the gt350.
