2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE Hot Lap! - 2017 Best Driver's Car Contender

Thats a hell of a lap time. Especially because its a standard. Randy is a beast.

Hats off to Randy Pobst. 1:34.30 is literally the exact same lap time that he achieved with a different ZL1 1LE on Ignition Ep. 179. Talk about consistency.

As a Camaro owner (2018 Camaro 2SS) it makes me proud seeing videos like these, I love it and it reminds me of why I chose Team Camaro over mustang or challenger, I love my Camaro!

Not really a fan of camaros but I can't help but respect and be impressed by what it's capable of especially for the price.. shit is nuts.

The Camaro is fire!!!

This car rocks! Good job chevy

And this is the one I've been waiting for!

Dear YouTube, I made a mistake when I was recording the voice over for the lap videos involving this car, the Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE, and the AMG GT R. Our video team then made the mistake of trusting me, and the video went up containing an erroneous finishing order. 100% on me, it's my mistake, and I'm sorry that it happened. I 'll tell you a funny anecdote that maybe partially explains why (though not really, but hey, I feel bad). We close down highway 198 to evaluate all the contenders for Best Driver's Car. There's a certain spot where if you hit a certain bump just right, you can get the car on two wheels. Naturally, our photographers love it. As they should. So, a few of us went back with a few cars and spent the 30 final minutes of daylight being stunt drivers. I was in the AMG GT R. After the sun set and we were finished, we ran back down to the rest of the group and jumped in different cars to head off to dinner. I happened to hop in the ZL1 1LE. My buddy called me to ask how Best Driver's Car was going. Since I'd just spent all that time in the GT R, I started by telling him how great the AMG was. I then mentioned how I'm driving it as we're talking, it's so badass, etc. But then I came to a corner and had to slow down and shifted with the manual-shifter and it hit me: I'm actually in the Camaro! But the two cars are so close in character, temperament, and Alcantara steering wheels, that I got confused. My point, mistakes happen. We're all sorry it happened, and we're going to put better processes in place going forward to make sure it doesn't happen again. Once more: I'm sorry. Thanks, and thanks for watching, - Jonny -

Nissan, go ask Chevrolet how to make good brakes.

I have a 2017 ss 1le and I'm a very very happy camper I don't have zl1 money but I still smash everyone with what I got

I've read and reviewed almost uncountable reviews of both the hot Camaro's and the 'Vette's and, in all of this research the ZL1/1LE is the better car in every single instance. From a pure performance perspective. This has been an eye opener for me. Especially considering the 'Vette is supposed to be the Halo car. And, considering the price difference. GM needs to introduce the Camaro Team to the Corvette Team. The former are outdoing the latter for far less price to the potential consumer. For many decades the 'Vette was the clear Bang for the Buck King of the Hill. Seems to me the Camaro has dethroned the former King in this category.

70K car out performing and outclassing cars worth 3X as much.. #Bowtie

Amazing driver and imo the ZL1 1LE is already a classic man ! Amazing powertrain, brakes and suspension, way faster than it's price suggests ( in hands of pro drivers ofc ).

A 70,000$ camaro can beat gtr's and mclaren's wow go 🇺🇸

Never been a Camaro fan but now all get is Goosebumps and just wispier ever so softly, MERICA....

Unreal!! As a European car fan for years, I thought I'd never ever hear myself say I'd get a Camero over a M, AMG or RS car but this thing for the money is mind boggling. I just wish the interior was a little better.

Favorite Camaro so far

I bought a ZL1 here in Australia i proudly own the 2019 ZL1 of which there are only 300 in the country. CHEVROLET has done a amazing job with these cars and I smile every time those bald Eagles fire up! 🇦🇺🇺🇲🇦🇺🇺🇲🔥🔥🔥🔥

After taking a closer look at the ZL1 1LE. Its an absolute beast. Finely designed from the chassis to the frame to the all the components. The ZL1 is next level no question.
