Holy moly the intro though 😲😃. This pretty much sums up this monster of a muscle car ;)

The outro was one of the best automotive clips I've ever seen, just hypnotizing

That closing shot of the burnout was breathtaking! Thank you :) From a strictly performance vs. cost perspective, nothing can compete with the ZL1. I've been daily driving my '18 Z since new and honestly it never gets old... I literally miss it when I go on trips. Chevrolet has only made about 15,000 6th generation ZL1s in total. By comparison, dodge produced nearly that many Hellcats in 2016 alone. I predict these will become highly collectable in the future. I will never sell mine.

@Miata Master its really not that bad. There are additional small changes to the 1le package that make the steering and braking slightly sharper and less squishy on initial turn in/pedal application. Changing from the stock goodyear 3r to something like a ps4 transformed the car on the street. The magride would be too squishy for me

I work for the USAF with a lot of pilots. Driving on base is almost like being at a car show. Jags, Porsches, Corvettes (both C7 and C8), Mustangs, Mopar Hemi cars, Subarus, Supras, Alpha Romeos, the full set of modern sports cars sold in America. Our pilots love to fly close to the ground too. The parking lot where I work has a few beauties. And when the pilot with the ZL1 purrs in, everyone stops, looks, and listens. I drove a SS ragtop a while back. And for me, that's about all I'd ever need. Not having been in a GM product since the 90's, I was blown away by the build quality. And, they've surely tapped into the fun-factor. I felt like Mad Max on vacation in that SS.

Fun video. I’m from the US and own this same car. As far as why the 1LE is faster, it’s because of the suspension and aero. It’s not too hard to overdrive the stock suspension on a track. I’ve done laps at Road America so know this first hand. 👍

After waiting 9mo, picked mine this week. Convertible and manual. LOVE IT SO MUCH!

60 grand? contacting the chevy dealer right now

I have one. And I love it. An absolute beast.

I got the most traffic tickets with my 1982 Camaro than any car that I have ever owned. I was in my late 20s. This vehicle just flat out runs like it is possessed. GM will be foolish to discontinue this car after 2023. No more orders taken by GM for the 2023 ZL1 1LE. GM not talking about discontinuing it so far. The price has also gone crazy lately if you can find one.

It's funny because I don't even look twice when I see one. My boss at my old job had one but it was auto so I wasn't too interested in driving it since I've experienced the same drivetrain in the Z06. Awesome car in the stick but maybe more time will make them special to see in the US.

That is a Super car for$65 k .Period ........

I would much rather have one of these with the 10speed auto than a Hellcat Redeye. If the new supercharger on the new Escalade V is available from GMPP and is a bolt on upgrade since it's a 2.7L versus the LT4 1.7L it could be cheap upgrade that would make 1kwhp extremely easy. Just a ported SC, pulley swap, heat exchanger, fueling upgrades, exhaust, cam and valve train.

Same engine as the Z06 1LE for about half, or a third of the price. What a deal. Q: If it goes electric, will the exhaust still have the growling sound. That maybe the part I love the most besides the speed, and the handling, which is way more refined than the Red Eye Wide Body, or the GT Cobra.

I own one, best car I’ve had and never plan on selling because there’s no other like it and there never will be. Always fun to embarras supercars on trackdays also, they never expect it to be so fast on track.

Here in north Italy we have an importer called Cavauto specialized in American cars since the early 80s. Back in October 2021 they had for a very brief period a black ZL1 with 1LE package on display. Apparently was the only ZL1 that landed in Italy and now it's with it's owner, I believe from the Milan area. Very curious.

@giovannifacci

Жыл бұрын

just for the curious, in Europe is apparently "banned" cause of the front splitter (think AMG GT Black Series) and especially the canards. One method I assume importers can register these cars, is to simply swap the front bumper for a regular Z1L (non 1LE) at inspection. Then swap it again. But this is just my speculation.

Pass the tissues.....

ZL1s have been a fixture at trackdays ever since their launch in the US, a lot of instructors drive them I've noticed, because they're not just fast and competent for road course work, they're also incredibly robust for extended lapping right out of the box. A bit of a trans am racer for the road these things. And dangit well done, I really don't like burnouts but the one at the close of this video was pretty epic.
