Merica.

you buy the GT500 for the engine, insane output, and straight line. you buy the ZL1 for its suspension, chassis, brakes, and handling. both are great pick your car.

P.S everybody- not here to argue. When I talk about weight I'm referencing it compared to a Mustang GT of 2013 (this ZL1 was a 2012 year) Mustang GT base model- 3,483 lbs Camaro ZL1-3,750 lbs Just diffusing people comment wars start happening since the new Mustang is heavier than the previous generation. Have a great day!

I can smell the mustang and Camaro fanboys coming soon. Can't we just all get along? I'm a mustang guy but I don't bash any car because its a rival.

I like the looks of this generation more than the current one. The front end of the current generation looks a lot like this generation but it is getting ready to sneeze. I can't unsee it.

Cheatin on the smurf I see? ;)

David, i wanna thank you for being the person you are, your videos have been so great and an inspiration and motivated me to start making videos as well thank you so much ill continue to watch you grow and learn much more from you.

Is it running that Gallo 12 or Gallo 24?

Thank you for introducing me to the first person in my entire life and career that can say good things about a Camaro without making comparisons to a Mustang. ThatDudeinBlue you're a real automotive fan :D

That's one of the best sounding LS motors I've ever heard

So happy to finally see a Camaro on the channel! Awesome review as usual

BIG FAN of the ZL1 so im glad to see you actually had it on your channel!

What i like about the LSA/LS9 is the easy power increases. a pulley and tune can make 650 horsepower for under $1,000

It's a pretty bold statement saying that the ZL1 is the best Camaro made. It's great in all but I don't think it's the best. You have the very fast Z/28 that is track ready straight from the factory. In my opinion the ZL1 is more straight line oriented.

Thank you David so much!! You really do respond to your fans!! Thanks man, much respect!

just the sound of this car is worth every dollar

Finally, a Camaro! Great review, love how the ZL1 looks and sound.

That exhaust note 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

"You have to very be aware" -derp david

your opening edits keep getting better and better. amazing job as always on the reviews man. cheers

It doesn't matter if you love a mustang or a camaro , just be happy youre driving a modern muscle car , every car had its ups and downs , what do you say david? *drops mic*

Love how the seat moves back every time you mash the gas. There is no substitute for fast cars.

I'm all for mustangs, but damn that looks so nice.

3:54 some one please make that "bluah" a non stop 15sec video hahaha

I rented the SS convertible not long ago around Arizona and it really did feel great. The interior was much better than I expected too. There is leather on most common places (seats, arm rest, steering wheel, shifter, etc.) and although there are a couple of hard surfaces, it's much better than most Mustangs and older muscle cars. The visibility due to the thick pillars, big mirrors and thin window openings is something you get used to and with the top off, it's really sweet. It sounds and pulls great and it does 2000 rpm until about 80 mph so the engine and exhaust are very quiet when you're not revving high. Being able to pass cars on the highway while In 5th or 6th at under 2000 rpm is pretty silly and you really don't realize how fast you're accelerating unless you shift manually and let it go into the higher RPM. The HUD interface is also great, you really don't need to check your dash at all while you drive. It's a really nice car and with some weight reduction it'll be even better.

So, when you gonna have a Challenger on the channel?

I love my '13 ZL1. I have had many hotrods, and this one is just ridiculously fab. FOR THE MONEY, you can't beat it. Sure the new Z28 might be impressive - but it is no daily driver (and ridic expensive by comparison).This is a Great daily driver or race car. And dudes are always trying to FCK with it (mostly in 5.0 Mustangs or SRT8 Challengers) and they get embarrassed every time. It drives amazing, brakes amazing, handles dreamy, but when you STOMP IT, you'd better hold on. There is no SS, no 5.0, no SRT8 (I had a Challenger SRT8) no nothing that compares overall. (OVERALL). Sure, you can nitpik little things here and there - as you can with any car.FIRST THING any ZL1 owner should do - GET RID OF THOSE AWFUL GOODYEAR F1 Tires. They are horrible. Even new tires, awful. Swap out the tires asap - or you will find your self spinning around into a ditch without even trying. Even with traction control, those tires cannot handle this car.I personally put Nitto Invo's on mine (315 on rear/ 295 front). A LIFETIME of improvement, control, safety compared to the F1's. No lie.Love the brakes, BUT, they shed dust all over the wheels in no time. So, swap out the pads for ceramic pads (I did Hawk brand pads). Problem solved.Also, the splash guards on the fenders are not good enough. You will sling road debris all over this car (especially with the horrendous Goodyear F1 tires) Anyone who poo-poos this car has NEVER driven one. Simple as that. I have driven them all, GT500, SRT8, no comparison at all. Not even close (as an overall sport car).There are fewer ZL1's on the road, so you get noticed by REAL gearheads. Sure, the Challenger looks cool and all, but not even close to this car as an overall sport vehicle. I personally think the newer Mustangs look too futuristic compared to this. Even the 2016-17 Camaro looks a wee bit too "spacey" for me.I drove a GT500. Sure it's "nice" and all. But overall, does not compare. And I was considering the GT500 before I found a ZL1. It is nowhere close to the same. Anywho, I might be biased, but as a previous owner of an SRT8, and test-drove a GT500 (open-mindedly), none of those cars compare overall.Get the 315 width tires on the rear, put you some extended splash-guards/mudflaps, and get rid of the Goodyear F1 tires, so you don't cringe every time you hear road debris spattering all over your baby. And blow away every flippin moron who thinks this car is 'just' some SS. (Happens to me at least 3X a week)

I appreciate you good sir, for showing us these amazing cars, these videos get me threw these days , watching them over and over again until I get my first car.

I wouldn't want to be caught dead in a Camaro... Just can't get over the styling or the personality traits that seem to stem from owning one. But I do appreciate them for lighting a fire under Fords pants because I love my '14 track pack. This ZL1 does sound good though... prime time for loving cars.

I'm a mustang guy but that car is a thing of beauty.

"and... GO!" all you hear is straight Merica out the back and it is GLORIOUS!!!

4:15 lol that look. Thought u saw a cop or something? Lmaooo

Compared to a lot of the other car channels you editing and music is awesome! We all appreciate all the time and effort you take to make every video immaculate! Keep up the good work!

Amazing intro as always, David!

Great review as always this car looks epic and certainly drives epic as we'll I've always had a respect for the Camaro but this video brings it to a whole new level.

Nothing like a good ol American Muscle car. Nothing sounds just as good as that beastly V8 out of the factory. Such a badass car.

5th gen camaros look so good.

Hey David I've got a question, have you ever been pulled over when doing a review?

I continue to be impressed by your video editing skills! Always such a good job and you make so many cars look desirable :D

Those gears sound like they go forever lol. The exhaust sounds incredible

One of my favorite cars

Im DEFINTELY more of a mustang guy! But DANG, that camaro is GORGEOUS!

Never thought the day would come where ThatDudeinBlue would review a camaro

Give them props for making one of the most beautiful vehicles ever too... And it's a solid beast I have a black and gold ss

Probably my favorite stock set of wheels currently in production.

I like that the windows are small. You don't buy a Camaro hoping for a minivan. You buy it for of course performance, and looks.

David Patterson Had an absolute blast making this review with you dude. Those glamour shots came out absolutely gorgeous! put the biggest smile on my face. Im so glad this ended up working out and Im now on the list of reviewed cars! Hope our paths cross again dude, stay awesome. :)

Ahhhh...the long awaited Camaro review. Wish it was a 2014 Z/28 but this will definitely suffice. thanks!

as a huge Camaro and gm fan I still think the big threes muscle cars are all just bad ass and gorgeous

Yes! Yes! Yes! Up the technology baby!!!

Do wanna know what would be awesome.. If David could upload a playlist of the amazing songs he uses. Also great video, cranking them vids out

David you are a very lucky dude. As a car guy I would be happy as hell just being able to be in the passenger seat.

'MURICA! I love Camaros, the ZL1 is what I am considering next to a C6 corvette or a Honda Magna for my next vehicule purschase. Love it!

just got my ZL1 from the tuners with a full catless exhaust. I can say I agree with you David, it's very streetable in this setup until you want to summon angry v8 gods!

i like how youve reviewed such fast cars that 600 hp WOT doesnt even phase you

Always a sweet sspot in my heart for GM's performance division keep em coming!

That power band looks so smooth doesn't look too violent on that neck breaking shift 😉

I like how he didn't overdo anything. It looks good! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Cant wait till the value drops

Now we're getting to my kind of cars. Turn it blue and I'll love it forever.

The z28 was motortrends best drivers car of the year. Meaning it has more than straight line speed and horsepower. Its balanced and is made for racing but street legal. No stereo no nothing u wouldn't see in a race car

Nice review! I have been looking around for a used ZL1 since I just test drove the 2015 2SS/1LE and thought it was way underpowered for how heavy it is. If I got the '15 2SS a supercharger would have to be the first mod.

good to finally see a Camaro on the channel! Thanks for posting, and as aways, great review

Black looks good on that one

Cant wait to see the next gen camaro

240,000 subscribers feels like yesterday that it was only 40k

If you ever come to Australia you should see if you could review mighty car mods 11 second gramps build

Finally! *tear rolls down cheek* ive been waiting for a 5th gen. Thanks!!

If there's one thing we can all agree on? Here in America we got some bad.ass.cars!

David’s got to do another 5th Gen ZL1. This one is definitely nice but basically stock for power. I’ve got an 800hp inferno orange ZL1 that I think would change your mind about 5th Gen Camaros!

Toyo's are great value for money - I've been use Toyo C1S's assymetrics on my car for just over a year now and loving them. Also the Proxes 4 are a good value directional. I love Pirelli and Michelin, but they have become so expensive here that I just can't justify them any more for the kind of driving I mostly do now - seriously $500+ per tyre when you can get an equivalent Toyo for a couple of hundred dollars less that is for most driving, just as good.

My next choice of car!!

ever think of test driving while someone in passenger seat operates a drone camera, and flys it around the car while driving? could be dangerous, but could also be amazing camera shots....

He must have been listening to monstercat's top hits

Now that is a good looking car

I have to say man you you video production quality has become awesome

glamour shots were awesome, nice job

After so long, and so many comments, David found a camaro. There, now everyone stop asking for one from him. :) nice vid David.

I like how you say 315 is ridiculous. You should try them some time on your mustang I love mine

Anyone else like older cars more than newer ones? Like when they weren't so heavy and filled with technology and assists? Like e30s and old miatas. I like what ford did with the Shelby gt350r. And camaroz28 I kinda don't like cars like tesla and super high tech I like the raw driving experience

Can't wait for the next generation of Camaros. Apparently, the New SS will have the same performance as the current gen ZL1. That'll be a amazing performer for under $45K.

It's comfy, the drive his great, the shifter is awesome.....BUT I CAN"T SEE OUT OF IT!!!. thats the only thing that really is holding me back from buying one...still going with the Challenger...yes it is big but you can see out of it more than people think.

David...this and sadly everything else will never been JD's 08' Shelby GT500 in amazingness!

about time you do a camaro

YES, I barely just requested fort you to finally review a Camaro, THANK YOU SO MUCH(:

It didn't even need the bmr suspension. The ZL1 already has great magnetic ride control. Stock its pulling over . I G's

You didn't have to knock on my car :( the 2010 Camaro ss lol

I have a irocz if you wanna review that, shit ton of torque. Loads of fun

i really hope a gt350 review comes sometime soon

I love your music choice and can usually tell how the music fits the car or setting it's in, but this time I didn't quite understand and was wondering what your reasoning for its choice was? I like the song I just want to hear your opinion. Keep up the great work! Love your videos

Ate a whole bowl of ice cream while watching this

Not really into camaros as much as I am into mustangs but I gotta say I would definitely love to own this lol

FINALLY!!!!!! my camaro prayers have been answered, my daily burnout sacrifices worked! :D

What a bad ass subscriber!

So how do you like the ZL1 compared to the CTS-V. I've been going back and fourth for a long time over the two and just recently ended up pulling the trigger on the CTS-V wagon with the 6 speed manual. Given a choice would you take the ZL1 over the CTS-V?

Awesome, This is my dream car can't wait to drive one on my own!

ThatDudeInBlue > Roads Untraveled

I expected some Mustang vs Camaro talk in this video haha. I can't wait to have my own Camaro though, I'd love to have a 2013 SS RS Camaro, one of my favorite cars out there. Ironically though I got a Mustang for my first muscle car, even though I love the camaro so much more :P

The ford shelby gt350r is going to be nuts. Anything that isn't necessary for racing has been removed

Awesome, thanks for finally reviewing a Camaro!
