I can verify that the ZL1 is INDEED one of the BEST cars I've ever owned. Fast, fun, and daily driveable!!! I wish I never sold it ... 😭

This car's growing on me. Especially in black.

I like my Challenger but there is no denying that ZL1 is a bad ass car

I AM an older man, born in the USA in the1950s. My first car was a 1958 Chevrolet Impale, convertible. It had the 283 V8. So, I was in love with Chevrolets and owned more than a couple in my day. The love affair ended when American cars became shoddy, over-smog controlled pieces of s%&t. Well, I am happy to say that cars such as this new Camaro and the Corvette is rekindling my feeling for Chevrolet. It is about time, Chevrolet!

Never thought I’d fall in love with a camaro... I’m more of a mustang guy, but this is very impressive.

I just bought a 2017 V6 and I'm in love, I can't imagine what would be driving this car everyday. CAMARO 4 LIFE.

Your first reaction to stepping on the pedal in a straight line was my same exact reaction. You just can't not laugh! The ZL1 is such a beast.

Lmaooo at like 5:15 car flew by getting a picture real quick

Lord Vader, your car has arrived.

This guy has a Hellcat, it's saying something when the pulls he did gave him that sort of reaction. I think you should have test drove this car before you got the Hellcat.

I grew up riding around in the 4th gen FBody SS camaro and Firebird/Trans Ams and I loved them. Now I really love the 5th and 6th gen even more. I wish they never stopped producing them after 2002 until they came back.

Its a great time to be an American car enthusiast. Ford, GM, and Mopar all have great choices for this price range. There's something for everyone.

This is the all time best car ever but I found ONE thing wrong with this car.... I don't have one🤗

Just seen a twin to this car at a busy intersection. This is the first car to make me stop and rubberneck in years. The stance and lines are just incredible! I dunno how it looks in other colors but it sure wears black very very well!! Polishing black cars is an art. Find some one that knows how to and invest $$ in a color sand, power buff, hand finnish, detail job. If your gonna wear black do it right. I appreciate fast cars, but if you really want monster acceleration, killer brakes, and cornering G forces that makes your inner self preservation scream "oh shit oh shit" then a big 1000cc + sport bike is the only way to roll. A cheap awd car. A good beater 4x4 pickup spec'd to tow. Any sportbike your heart desires. Makes for a well rounded garage imo.

Fast in a straight Line and dominates corners. The best Muscle car currently

This car is a beast nothing better than a Chevrolet

Anyone see at 5:14 guy with his head out the window taking a picture😂😂

I currently have a 2011 SS and I'm really happy with it's power and performance Chevy man for life. 👍🏼

The Camaro world is here to welcome you back Riley. Just come on back.

Riley - my 2018 ZL1 1LE shows up week after next "it's on the train coming down to VA now" says my dealer. Cannot wait! Thanks, Dave

smiles per gallon. Such a gorgeous car. Hope to own one some day!

You know it’s fast when the digital speedometer has to skip numbers

Finally, Chevy has turned the Camaro into a real badass. I actually prefer it's styling now over the Mustang, and I grew up a Ford guy.

Ford sneaking in with an ad. Go home ford 🤣

This is just one of those cars that was done well. I love the review! Great job as usual man!

Currently saving up for a 2017 ZL1 and just cannot wait to get behind the wheel, I rewatch review videos way too often. Great video!

Omg that car is so beautiful. Almost makes me cry, wow!!!

The earlier 2007 model featured in Transformers is still my favourite aestethically!

Huge Camaro fan here from New Zealand. I fell in love with them as a child, my grandfather was a car collector, owning many rare and classic European and American cars, but he loved Chevrolet, he had a Chevy model for every year from 1918 up-to the 70'S including many muscle cars, but his favorite and also his day to day car was an 67" SS Camaro! Granddad sold it in the late 80'S but he always regretted it, as did I. So he bought an 84" Z28 Camaro, not as classic a model but not a bad car none the less! after his death and as his collection was slowly sold off, I was lucky enough to take possession of the Z28. unfortunately it never compared to the 67" SS but oh well it's still a Camaro! Oh FYI my second favorite car was his 58 Corvette! The new era of Camaro and Corvette is stunning, they just keep getting better and better!

that thing is SICK!!!!! been a Camaro fan since the 60’s

A person taking a pic at 5:14 😂😂😂

This is the best car I have ever driven. This car handles like no cars for that price range in the planet. Thanks to GM.

Drove a 2019 today. It has a rear view mirror that turns into a rear camera view that I found terrific. It takes away any problems looking rearward. And it was the 10 speed. Torn between the 10 speed and the manual with rev matching. Probably would pick the 10. Thanks for the look at the 18'.

As an M3 owner I would love to have one of these - Finally an American M3 on it's own terms. Comfort, styling, handling, and performance that meets or exceeds anything BMW has in their M series vehicles. Amazing job Chevy!

I almost lost it when I heard that supercharger. 🤤🤤

just brought one home. mine has the 1le package. if I set aside a dollar every time I smile driving this thing, it will pay for itself in no time, and probably have a bit left over for the occasional (and probably inevitable) speeding ticket :) couldn't be happier.

Great video as usual. Ordered my 2018 ZL1 about a month ago just waiting for it to come in. I was torn between the ZL1 and a challenger hellcat. However, decided on the ZL1.

Anything that makes a grown man smile like that is definitely worth buying!

you misspelled the title. should say "the car I should've bought over the hellcat"

I just bought the 2019 2SS. The only difference is it’s not supercharged and it was 25,000 less. Same color, tan interior. I love it sooooo much!

The 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE is in 15 place at the Nurburgring of the fastest cars ever made regardless of price and hellcat and mustang are nowhere to be found case closed.

The ZL1 has really grown on me. I will be looking for a preowned one in a few years.

Waiting for this car to drop in the 50k range so I can get one.

Funny thing, I went to test drive a ss 1le the other week and the car literally just drove off the lot and was sold. Now after traveling 1 hour to drive it I was a little disappointed. But then I noticed the new zl1 sitting in the lot and drove that. I was amazed by the vehicle simply amazing!

I bet Riley is gonna trade in the Cat for the ZL1

That front end will look good for about a week though. That's gonna pick up rock chips like crazy given all that paint

In this video i show you why i bought the wrong car🤣

Mopar may have always had the upper hand in performance against Chevy but they have never been remotely CLOSE to being as sexy and this new zl1 is no exception. Just gorgeous!!

Hellcat power & GT350 Handling hahaha. GM been had Good handling and good power. GM always had a well Balance car before dodge and ford. Not hating on either of them tho

Nice Review Riley! I did the review in the C7 Z06 and these two cars are monsters!

2018 Camaro in the house!💯😎✌️👏👏👏

I'm more of a mopar guy but I have to say this is a better looking car than the challenger.

For the price this is really awesome

That vehicle is beautiful....

You would've been more impressed with the 10 speed imo. Also, $65k for a well optioned out brand new ZL1 isn't all that bad for the package you're getting!

A zl1 is INSANELY fast on a circuit track!! Scary fast!! Nice car!!

Beautiful. You at home can own this car for the low cost of 6 fingers, 1 kidney, 3/4 of your liver and one small child...child has to have previous knowledge of sheet metal fabrication and be a master tig welder.

I'm not big on American cars, but this camaro is everything! I want

when you should have bought a camaro instead of a hellcat

Now that is one sweet looking ride, never a big fan of the new Camaros but that is a beautiful car from any angle, And sounds fantastic

Admit it, you want to trade your Hellcat for one of these.

"You kinda get the best of both worlds" Me: YOU GET THE BEEEESSSTTTTT OF BOTH WORLDS

Also, the 6 speed manual transmission is 11.7 or 11.8 in the 1/4, the 10 speed auto is 11.4.

Peep the people taking pictures of it at 5:14 . Awesome reveiw only thing is your the mustang isn't even in the same class in anyway of the Camaro as of now. Props to the Camaro team.

The 36 haters are just mad because they will never own anything this awesome smh

Then the 2019 GT500 comes out. Man I cannot wait and I hope Ford or Shelby(idk)adds the power from the 2013 GT500 into the MagnaRide suspension and brakes that are in the 2018 GT. If it has more power than the previous GT500 than this new one is going to be amazing

I see Riley getting into another GM car in about half a year for some reason😂

Australia are finaly getting the camaro in 2018. Cant wait.

There’s a guy at 5:12 taking a video of the car going down the road 😂

FUN! I have a 16 SS. His enthusiasm makes me want to upgrade!

So why is the same car in australia with out the supercharger and not right hand drive and the HJSV version is around 100K, which in reality it should be around 50K due to no supercharger at all is offered ?

Listen, he's being honest. As a GT350R guy, only on the track is the Shelby better. If that Shelby did not have that very special engine, EASILY a ZL1 would be supporting my butt right now. More power, and still pretty darn good on track--very nice ride! Those of you under 50 don't understand how long some of us have been waiting for this true "golden age" of muscle cars. You will not go wrong with a Camaro, Challenger, Corvette or Mustang. But get'm soon, because this ain't gonna last too many more years.

Love my hellcat but damn the zl1 is sexy!

Riley shown your respect to the camaros the f bodies were great cars and cherished by many today

Not really a fan of the Camaro but this looks mean!

I, almost, want to trade my 2014 Dodge Charger SE(8 speed automatic). Yes, it's affordable. The front end is the most aggressive I've seen. You've got the right color. Definitely, a head turner🔥🔥

I think rp miss his camaro

What he never mentioned was the modes in the vehicle, econ, tour, sport, and track. Every mode gives you a different experience!

So I have to ask, what feels faster in a straight line out of the two, the ZL1 or the Hellcat?

Rented an SS to have it for a day and see if it’s something I’d want to purchase. It has a serious blindspot on both sides and visibility was horrible...but it was very responsive and the heads up display was awesome.

I hate Chevrolet, but Camaro is the Perfect car!

This car "as is" is simply a work of art!!!!

Should of gotten this over the Hellcat by far!

I LOVE THIS CAR 😍😍😍 I just got it for my 19th birthday and omg everything he just said is true !

When buying a new car the only opinion that matters really is yours.

Chevy, Dodge, and ford all make awesome cars, it's just preference honestly. My major complains about each is........Camaro has worst/most limited visibility, the Challenger is a heavy boat, and the Mustang....... well it's a Mustang.

You can tell you owned this car because when you started driving you shifted like it was an old habit. On a side note i understand you car choice. I miss my Mustang because it was a better daily car. Still you can't beat the Camaro if you are still producing testosterone.

this car is so sick i literally dont know what to comment except this

dude there you go now that is a car

I have the 1LE version and one big problem popped up at it's first track day, the brakes. They faded badly after just a few laps. I had to spend $7k on improving the brakes. I would have gladly paid the $7k for carbon ceramics. Otherwise the car has been trouble free.

but can it go over a speed bump?

A guy at my gym just bought one of these. He let my take it for a spin around the parking lot. Back end breaks loose just thinking about it. His has the 10 speed.

Ctsv review next??

I could pause this video at :01 and stare at my screen all day dreaming. LOVE This car!

I have the 10 speed auto & when I floor it, I want both hands on the wheel! :)

Right from the opening shot this car looks incredible.

In comparison to your Hellcat, can you describe the character and performance of this car in a straight line?

@4:15 It's these moments that compel us to buy fast cars! Just pure WOW....@5:13 Another reason we buy these cars, we are rockstars :)

I miss ur camaro

Your reaction after stepping on the gas says it all. If only I had $66k.
