This car looks a lot better when you see it at the dealership, videos don't do it justice.

I’ve done 12 track days and 31000 miles in my ZL1 and it’s been rock solid. BEST CAR EVER

[dumpedviper]

Ive never seen this guy before but he does an excellent commentary. Talks clearly with facts like a man and not an exited child. Well done!

[savagegeese]

You always do a good job at concisely explaining things.

Carlos Lago is by far the best automotive journalist doing videos.

[sstearns]

Carlos and Jonny need to start their own channel together. They would own youtube car reviews.

I just bought my ZL1 with 32k miles on it. 100k mile warranty. 6 speed manual, no sunroof. Im in love. Let's just say I drive it how it should be driven

[lakmalantony]

[mrjjthor]

Glad they fixed it. I don't see anymore SS I'm the vid. Carlos is one of the best car reviewer ever.

One of the most sought after body styles in Europe and the dream of many Europeans. GM is producing outstanding values these days and if wasn't for what amounts to tariffs for engine size then there would very few cars that could outsell this car as a super car in EUROPE. Just the SS model is a show stopper in Germany itself and its not because its rare. One of the most distinctive automobiles that's not exotic ever.

I had just taken the Australian model HSV ZL1 SS for its test drive, everything you said is what it is, it’s a beast, I’m gonna be a proud owner . Good explanation and video of a beautiful machine .

[petermeister]

Proud to exactly own this ZL1 in beautiful silver as a 6 speed MT, it´s a glorious engine nowadays....

I have one in Red Hot with all of the options, except I got a manual because I want to drive it. I added the carbon fiber wing, blacked out the tail lights, and added a carbon fiber insert gas cap. That helps break up the red and makes it look extremely bad ass. I love this car and highly recommend it! There's simply no other car that can touch this for the price. The engine is amazing, the suspension is fantastic, the handling is like it's in rails, the Recaro seats, the PDR, the heated and cooled seats, the quality craftsmanship, etc. You simply cannot find a car this badass and with his many luxury comforts for the price anywhere.

[bernardbrooks]

after 5 years still unbeaten by others love this car to death especially with the new wings from victorracing chaos bro chaos

[mauricejones]

A Carlos review is the best in the many people have mentioned.

[hamdanae]

I drove 2017 Camaro ss for 3 days, it had 16000km, it was burning oil, on third day check engine light on, added quarter gallon, the warning light gone!
However ، it was fun and powerful and great exhaust sound.

[JohnCapizolaSr]

A fantastic review for a fantastic car! And no shouting! Thanks, and good job, Cappy.

[hamdanae]

Great video, clear, good camera positions, inside and out, nice driving.

[tsav]

Too bad it's styled in a way you can't see out of the thing for everyday driving. That's holding back sales I would assume. A beast non the less.

[frankrosadojr]

This isn't grandma's wagon, it's a race car. And it's not even close to being a problem . I got 2300 miles on my ZL1 1LE and never thought about it.
