We take our time and do a comprehensive review of the 6th Gen 2018 Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE. The track version of the ZL1 is not for everyone, however, it offers supercar beating performance on a budget. In a world of pony/muscle cars like the 700HP Dodge Hellcats and Ford Shelby GT350s will this Camaro stay relevant?

    I just bought this exact car, the one that was used in this video. The original owner won it in the giveaway. Part of my motivation for buying it was watching this video. I didn't realize it was this exact car until I went through the paperwork and saw the history of the giveaway.

    This is my ''new'' favorite car channel. No ''poser'' crap, just straight no B.S. reviews from real car guys that had shitty jobs in order to buy cars and motorcycles. Love the warped sense of humor.
  • @dylandevlin336
    Cant believe I just watched a 45 minute review and was actually engaged the entire time. This was awesome
  • @charleshu5752
    This is a 45 minute video that I don't feel dragged on forever.

    This man deserves to have crossed 1M subscribers a longtime ago...

    This video is 5 years old, but I love it for the same reason I love almost all of their videos. They slowly found their niche and then leaned into it heavily. They're not just vague reviews of looking at the car, hearing the dealership spec sheet, and then driving it. We get to hear about the mechanics of the vehicle, the thought process that went into it, and even discussion with the manufacturer about how it came to be.

    Working 10 hrs a day, 6 days a week. I won’t stop till i get one of these.

    "I for one like the wing painted, just like I like my toe nails painted, or else I feel nude" I died, his dry, sudden, and self roasting humour gets me every time
  • @EUROCARGUY
    I’m shocked by how much knowledge you have, Mr. Goose. You just prove how little most of people who “test” cars know.

    Love u SG, This video is how i discovered your channel last year. 2 week later I placed my order and painstakingly waited constantly coming back to this video. Took delivery last month & I'm so in love with every aspect of the car. I owned a Hellcat Widebody before and this ZLE & is just far superior mechanically the speeds you can take corners on is down right mind blowing. Thanks for making amazing content i watch every new release you all do.
  • @simplyeric12
    The production of these videos are insane. Getting better by the video.
  • @spdcrzy
    I remember the moment when I subscribed to this channel. It was when I saw his review of the V90 and he talked about how there was powdercoating on every. single. part. of the undercarriage to prevent rust in the winter months on long road trips - and how that alone justified an increased price over other models. Living in Michigan, rust prevention and protection is crucial. Nobody - NOBODY - I had ever seen review a car had ever talked about OEM techniques for weatherproofing the underbody on a car ostensibly meant to be driven a lot in the winter. Glad to see his attention to detail has gotten even better since.

    Best car content on Youtube, bar none. Been watching for years.
  • @flexer83
    I own regular zl1. And this car put a big smile on my face every time i drive it.
  • @party_boy69
    i'm just going to flat out say it. You are the best CAR REVIEWER on any platform! Matt Farah does great one takes, Chris Harris is an excellent entertainer and driver, but you are the best at extensive reviews. You should be very proud of the work you have put in, your videos are excellent and never feel as long as they actually are

    Got my ZL1 1LE this past weekend and already have almost 400 miles on the odometer. The car is literally perfect in every way. He's right, it is overkill for a street car -- but who doesn't like overkill?
  • @coachb7373
    I JUST bought one. A 2018 ZL1 1LE with 9k miles... 6 speed... all the bells and whistles.. This is by far the best review of this car. Touched on all the best points. It is truly a BEAST of a car and a pleasure to drive. When i signed the deal on it I knew I had joined hallowed ground.
  • Went with a regular ZL1 because I don’t do track time with her.... absolutely love it and is the best value dollar for dollar of any in its class
