I bought a 2023 zL1 about 2 weeks ago after I got tired of waiting on a c8. Must have been heaven sent. I looked on line Sunday evening found one. Called Monday morning and asked if the car was actually there. " Sure it's here they said". Well how much do you want for it, I asked. They said we just want MSRP which was 79, 000. Seventy miles and a few hours later I was driving back home in the car. And it's a convertible. Jesus Christ really does love me 😇. I realized how special I was when other dealerships started asking me " where the hell did you get it" ? We can't even order one.🤣🤣🤣🤣

This thing is a track MONSTER. Definitely one of the best performance track cars for the money.

I’ve got a ZL1 (non-1LE) and I LOVE it. Can confirm, these cars are best value for performance hands down. Plus the aftermarket support and performance potential of the LT4 platform is incredible.

I recently drove a Camaro 2SS with 10 speed auto and was SHOCKED how much the driving experience resembled driving a C7 Corvette right down to the steering feel, the premium feeling interior, raised fenders, not to mention the dual mode exhaust. 😁

The Ford GM collab on the 10 speed is one of the best things to happen to V8's in the last 20 years.

I Finally found a channel that can do a decent review on this car. I really appreciate the time you took to thoroughly explain what you were feeling in the car while you were driving. That’s what most of us who are considering this car we’re looking for. You did a GREAT JOB at keeping it simple at to the point. No stupid music or silly intros! Just straight opinionated feelings of how this car performs. Thank you. I am now a subscriber.

I love any Gm or Ford V8 with that 10spd. Hearing that Coyote 5.0 or GMs 6.2 bang through those gears is just ahh to my ears!

On the freeway the zl1 1le is pretty comfy. However, driving on city roads is very firm. It'll bounce you everywhere in your vehicle if your city streets sucks.

I have to disagree highly about the traction and stability system. It's actually probably the best system I've used on my car (2019 ZL1) because it actually doesnt just cut out power immediately. It does an incredible job of holding the power at the same amount when it detects you are about to slip and then continuously feeds more power as it detects more traction is available. At least thats what my experience has been like with the car for the past few months. I think the TC/STB control systems have been one of the more impressive aspects of this car for me and it definitely surprised me as much as the power and handling the car has.

This was a close second to the 2018 hellcat I got. These are much better than the dime a dozen mustangs. Love the ZL1.

[mbagwell]

I just ordered 23 ZL1 1LE in rapid blue yesterday!I can't wait to see it. Currently in a HellCat that I love but ready for more of track oriented car. Drove both and loved both

[goturtags]

I was going to get a new GT500 but I found the markup for what you all get not worth it. My second option was a ZL1 so I immediately went to watch Tophers review which was conveniently just posted when I bought mine a few months ago. I picked up a used 2019 with 5k miles for basically the MSRP price which was a total steal in the color blue. Wouldn’t trade this car for the world and I love it!

[sickslick]

I rented a 2022 Camero when I got in a car accident and think it drives a lot smoother than my 2017 mustang. The steering on it was so smooth.

[noseegsbmarriage]

I'm a huge fan of Mustangs and Shelby's but damn that ZL1 1LE is a beast, I'd never expect I'd love modern Camaro's, loving the new fresh design and performance of the 2022 model

[holdenbroussard]

I love the 3rd to 2nd downshift burbles. I do it way too much in my SS😭

[shmoofgang]

8:03 "let's feel the brakes" stomped on the brakes w/ no hesitation 😂😂 then romps on it back up to speed. Subscribed sir

[rubenjimenez]

Most aggressive looking car out of its competitors🔥 sure hope they put the zr1 engine in the zl1 for their last year

[DamianMasters]

Your driving is what I expect to see when they ‘test drive’ the car .. great job!!!

[osos]

"...having the sound track of a supercharged 6.2Liter V8" ❤️
I love this statement and it's the reason why I'm buying one before they go away.

[zlfido]

I have a bolt on e50 zl1 & yet here I am watching more videos lol never get tired of these
