Not bad when your 4 seat camaro kills a bunch of ring kings. 7:16 is faster than the 911 GT2 RS. Woot ---

Driven by GM engineer Bill Wise, more impressive if he is not even a professional driver. ---

As stated before all of the heat related tranny issues have been solved. The guy that drove is not Chevy’s regular “ring” driver either. This car is basically a Z06 Corvette that weighs 300lbs more but is $15k cheaper. EDIT: I have yet to see a ZL1 local, but there are tons of Z06’s around. It seems like every dealer has a few. ---

> [@BlackGTI](#): > > Man that guy can drive for an engineer, or anyone for that matter. Sub 70k for that beast? You have to remember test engines pretty much live in their car for all development testing. This guy probably has more seat time in this car than most people get in their lives. > [@joelster](#): > > As stated before all of the heat related tranny issues have been solved.

The normal ZL1 is a beautiful car, the 1LE kicks it up a notch. Both are amazing cars. ---

This is making me wonder if GM is sandbagging the Z06. Might be so they can have the ZR1 be faster but it doesn’t make sense to me that the lighter car is slower. Also remember that a regular GT3 is 7:12 for context. ---

> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > Also for context: Porsche does not build one lap wonders. So are you implying Chevy build the Camaro to be a ring one lap wonder? Because that’s pretty laughable. I’d take pretty much any 911 over a Camaro but I have to give GM respect for how fast that thing is. ---

> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > Also for context: Porsche does not build one lap wonders. They built a bunch of cars with crap bearings I know that. Honestly I’m an equal car opportunist, the ZL1 1LE just kills most Porsches, not to say the Porsche is any less cool. I mean the handling and driving characteristics of a 911 are super unique and now slower than a camaro. Enjoy your VW (I’ve secretly always wanted a fast VW, but can’t justify it, plus my wife thinks they are lame.) ![https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/446071990428770304/K3ZDG3WA.jpeg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/f/6/f60ac715dd211e605a809fc21f9f23d36859b37c.jpeg) ---

saying the characteristics are now slower is not really fair. To be clear, if you shove enough power and tire under anything at the ring you can get good times, that’s all GM did. ---

When the age old European excuse of, “yeah, but it can’t turn or stop” gets blown away by a Camaro lapping the ring in 7:16 I guess you have to come up with something. “It’s got a lot of motor and tire” is pretty weaksauce though. At least point out that it’s a $70k Camaro. Can you picture yourself dropping $70k on a Camaro? I can’t. It’s a GM so you’ll probably be able to buy a 2 year old one with 20k miles for $25k though. ---

The Joe Dirt picture is worth a thousand words. Edit: I grew up in the 80s, the odds of me ever owning a bitchin Camaro or Vette are very slim. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2018-camaro-zl1-1le-at-the-burg-7-16/274755.md?page=2)
