ZL1 is more than just a supercharger. Its got the forged engine that can hold well over 800whp stock form, and the much stronger 10 speed trans that can handle over 800tq. You will need to build the 1LE engine and trans to hold anywhere near that power. The potential on a ZL1 is way way higher than a 1LE.

I had a 2ss and now a ZL1. I truly loved both. I have to say I just got the ZL1 home today and it’s evil. There’s no better word I can think of. I’m in love.

Subbed! Great video RP, love that you still have a ZL1. I picked up a Crush 2019 ZL1 over the weekend. Can't wait to let her rip. Be safe and God Bless!

I very much enjoyed it!!! You are a very good speaker I could listen to you all day about Camaros 😀 Thank you for all the info, much appreciated 🤟🏻

Has to be a nice car if RP kept one for a year and has owned 2 Camaros

Really great comparison! I have a 2018 1LE myself and wanted the mustang at first. I can confirm after driving both the Camaro makes the mustang feel like a wet soggy paper bag

Thanks for the comparison, I'm currently on the market and really trying to weigh the pros and cons here of the two cars for the money spent. Bang for the buck is absolutely important, not just the overall cost.

I still remember learning stick-shift driving on an 85 GT Mustang 5-speed. Great cars, and super easy to learn stick on. Very cool.

You were the reason I bought my HBM 1le back in 2017. Cool video.

Without a doubt the 1LE has the best looking OEM rims, not only do they look great they're concave which is almost unheard of for OEM's.

Perfect option ZL1 1LE. Just picked one up after watching your content!

This was extremely helpful. I am deciding between a ZL1 and SS 1LE. Thanks

I have and ‘18 2SS 1LE with all the bells-ambient lighting, Bose, heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel. One of the best sports cars I have owned and i have had corvettes Chevy guy. You’re right only difference is the supercharger.

The facelift iisss growing on me, BUT I still think the 16-18 looks better

Great vid thanks for sharing. Nice job. Love the Shock color, it is so amazing.

Great video Riley as usual !!! 😎👍

Both gorgeous cars. I have a 2016 bumblebee 2SS with sunroof, black rims and stick. Love that car. Not sure I’ll ever really find something to replace it with. Got it for $34,000 with 18,000 miles on it about 4-5 years ago.

Great video. Two of my favorite cars, beside the 6th gen Camaro SS2 MT that I drive.👍

Love your video's sir..keep up the good work.

Picking up my 21 SS 1LE on Saturday!

I didn't get a good deal on my 1LE but after a year searching I couldn't pass up on what I had been searching for, a manual V8. The seats are not comfortable and the seatbel keeps scratching my neck, the sound system is garbage but honestly I only want to listen to the car so I rarely listen to music. Even if I try to listen to music I keep turning off the music because I want to hear the car. 😂. Tires are very expensive but totally worth it. After 30 cars give or take I am finally falling in love with one. 😂. 2021 SS 1LE manual.

The upper grille looks much more aggressive in the 16-18 model. Which is why Chevy kept that look for the ZL1 through the 21 model. Tho I’m not too sure why they proceeded to change the look for the other models.🤔

Zl1 looks better. The motor is stronger and can handle more power than the LT1. Even if you upgrade the front bumper, the zl1’s is functional with its 13 heat exchangers.

I went with a 1ss in manual. From what I've budgeted I can build it how I want cheaper. Then it's more my car after. So I'm happy

Both are just insane 🔝

Shock looks horrible on Chevy’s site. I saw one in person and bought it the same day. The gray and metallic green were my top choices. Shock is amazing

Just bought my new car because of this video, thanks Riley.

RP Productions Great Review I think Both cars are absolutely incredible and I would get a ZL1 for the Extra power and Supercharger Whine

The SS has a twin disc, dual mass flywheel which is why it feels so different and dosnt like the low RPMs. It's not a single disc. Great video. Love the respect the 1le gets. Your one of the reasons we end up with them. :) 👍👍 I highly suggest getting a 1le SS.

The Gen6 ZL1 is worth every dime

Love watching that incredible motivation.....

This may just be current market conditions but the ZL1 does hold its value. I recently sold my very well optioned 2018 ZL1 for $63500, only slightly less than new. Really miss it’s power from a roll but loving my 2021 C8 which is a beast from 0-60.

I’m looking at going 1LE but with the 2SS package, had a 2014 ZL1 in past

I love it my boy Riley keep up the work and I love the video 💯💯💯💯💯💯and I love new Camaro and zl1 💯💯💯

I still say your plum crazy scat pack was my favorite of the cars you owned in the pass. I do like the Camaro and if I did want one I would go with the Zl1. But my one issue with the Camaro is the cabin is too small.

9:59 every time I drive my 18 SS 1LE lol. I am tempted to trade it for a ZL1 sometime or do some mods like the rotofab CAI, MSD intake manifold and tune. I already have the velossatech widemouth ram air intake on mine and did the secondary cat delete.

Best American bang for your buck ever made. I've owned mine for a year and yes it put a smile on my face every single time I get on it😃

Pops and Crackles are a timing/fueling adjustment in your tune on deceleration. You can get that with a good tuner and reflash.

I love camaro's I'm working on getting a new one soon good video

Yeah sure the Hellcats don't handle nerly as well, but neither one of those cars put a smile on your face like your cat did and remember how thrilled you were that time when you ran something like an 11.0 with a good DA and is absolutely amazing when considering the weight factor. That really speaks volumes for those gen3 hemis, plus Challenger is by far the most true to its roots than any of the others from the big 3. Those ZLs are great track cars, and is amazing what you get for your money with these American machines 💪🏼😎🇺🇸

That’s why I bought a 2023 camero 2SS 1LE it has the Bose speaker system and the lighting but there is also a difference between the 1SS and the 2SS within the engine

2021 1SS 1LE M6 is the most fun I’ve ever had driving a car and I’ve owned many. For the money, it’s unbeatable and you can track it with warranty coverage, which is extraordinary. Gotta say, tho...that supercharger whine is better than Mozart. 😊

I have a Trail Boss special yellow. That color is dope

I have a 21 2ss with a procharger put in, now making 591hp to the wheels. Best thing ive ever done

So 20,000 for a super charger and a few extras😬 I think I would buy the SS and use the $20,000 to put my own super charger and extras .

i would of named that color "hot lemon"

My first camaro was a 17 4cyl turbo and it was the most fun car I’ve had. Now onto the zl1😬

I firmly believe staying N.A. with the SS 1LE is the way to go. Exhaust, headers, intake, and a good tuner will make close to 500whp super easy (50 less than the ZL1) and after you factor in that the ZL1 weighs about 300-350 lbs more than the SS 1LE its about dead even BUT you're N.A with a more linear power band.

I was about to bring that up OP. I’m not a Chevy guy so I don’t know, but I’m a hellcat guy and know the huge differences between the redeye and reg cat and assumed it was sim with the 1LE vs ZL1.

I really like the wheels on the 1LE so much better but the sound on the ZL1, wow!

Have you ever tracked both cars to compare them as well?

hey... how does the twin disk clutch feel different from single disk clutch?

Both have cool exteriors, engines, and cool colors. Unfortunately the 1LE 2021 edition doesn't have a candy yellow color edition like bumblebee, but the 2020 ZL1 has a candy yellow color edition :)

Dude at the end of the video can shift like a champ

I wish I had those seats in my C7.

i have a question whats better 10 speed or 8 speed? For the zl1 im thinking

Who's to say you couldn't add that supercharger on the SS 1LE? Although I don't know if a clutch upgrade would be necessary?

The Recaros are different than the ones that are used on stangs, so I wonder if GM had them specifically designed and looks like they have better padding on them. I've seen lots of recaros, and those are unlike any others that I've seen before. They look much more comfortable and could never travel far in a GT, my back couldn't take it and has become more of a track focused car. The most comfortable out of them all of course is the Challenger, but Camaro is kind of right in the middle and does the drag strip & road course well. It's a nicely balanced car and the stang is the lightest of them all, but I still like my Challengers best and are most true to their E body muscle car roots out of the 3 to

Great vid. I have a ‘18 LE and was considering trading up for a ZL1. After driving the ZL1, I was amazed at how similar it was… I think I’m going stick with my 1LE as it’s paid off. If I need to, I can mod this car. If I sold this and got the ZL1, I’d be spending nearly 30k to get the same car with 200hp more

I'm trying to decide between a 2021 GT 500, Challenger Hellcar, and a ZL1. Help me decide

Love my 1LE. Feels like I'm in a fighter jet with the seat and handling lol fboe helps too

Great video!! Does the ZL1 have MAG ride suspension? Or do you have to get the 1LE track package to get the MAG ride? I’m in the market right now and I’ve been doing research on the ZL1’s

Thinking about selling my g8 gt and picking up a 6 speed manual no option lt1 model but no dealers in Houston have one

I love my 2019 1LE regardless of the controversial flow tie placement.

How does the Bose compare to the base audio?

What exactly is the difference between the suspension of the SS 1LE VS ZL1 NON 1LE?

Staying stock, basically the main difference besides aesthetics is the supercharger correct? Seems it has the same exact motor and you can get the 1LE which gives it basically the same interior, suspension, and brakes as the ZL1. So the only difference in the stock version is the ZL1 has a supercharger.

Looking at camaros under 30k for my next used car and what's very weird, is the ZL1 is only about 3k more than what a non 1le SS is going for now??

Great video Riley. I’m currently deciding between modding my car more or upgrading to a ZLE. Leaning towards the ZLE only because it’ll retain more value vs spending a bunch on my motor. Downside is my car would easily outrun the ZL1 with those mods. (Planned on doing a H/C/I package.) The SS 1LE is an absolute blast though & such a performance bargain!

"hey... It broke" 😂😂

10 tenths in this thing, your going to Jail!!!!😂😂😂#Factz i am about to join the 2SS Family!!! Salute bro 🫡

Gotta have a power sunroof on the 1LE! Hopefully you don't lose a ton of head room.

Zl1 no doubt

I really want a 2019 camaro ZL1

Do you still work at the dealership?

I have a 2023 1ss I’m bouta getta 2024 zl1 I’m debating tho my ss is a convertible which I love but the power in the zl1 is undeniable

Man these cars are sexy, I wish we'd see these more often here in Europe!

The pre face lift 1LE looks better but the new 6th Gen refresh is starting to grow on me. ZL1 1LE would be the way you go you can rattle your teeth out with the DSSV shocks and suspension lol.

If we talking stock for stock sure maybe just a supercharger but bud the internals are almost strictly forged I think it’s like 900 hp capable without changing anything

Have you ever went on your ZL1 against the base Shelby GT500? Or your Camaro SS1LE VS the Shelby GT350/R? How did it went?

Are the Automatic Camaros good ?

Pretty sure the SS 1LE has a twin disc clutch with a duel mass flywheel.

Which car has the most comfy seats?

Engine internals are different seats are different steering wheel is different sound system is upgraded .Many upgrades on the Zl1.

SS 1LE has better looking wheels.

I need to speak to whoever designed that front bumper on the LT1. Would love to know what they were thinking when they gave it the thumbs up

Beautiful vehicles

A 1LE with ZL1 appearance package would be perfect!

my 2ss does not have the lt1 badge, so mine is fake or something???

My 2018 2SS 1LE, has all of the features of the ZL1. You may wanna edit your video to include that content.

But 20 grand is easy money to get a 2SS/1SS to around 800 engine horsepower minimum. It just isn't backed by warranty

I got my 1le 2.0 turbo for $24k what a steal.

I hate stock looking base models like ss mustang gt or c7. The upgraded look is what gets me more than the power

wouldn't a more apt comparison be the SS 1LE vs ZL1 1LE?

The green one looks like it has the grinch smile.

I can’t find a zl1 around 50 lol but this was a year ago so I get it. Prices were different

The 17 and 18 Camaro how’s the better front end

1le had zl1 nose for good 1yr ?

Doesn’t the z51 1le have upgraded internals

Aye Riley is Crush still a Color option for the Camaro?
