When RP keeps a car this long, you know it’s a solid choice.

Coming from a 2018 zl1 owner with over 110,000 miles the only issue I have with the car is I eat up tires so quick lmao. But best car I've ever owned hands down.

Honestly this is my dream car🥺

I appreciate that you show a clip of everything you talk about. Lots of extra work but much appreciated as a viewer.

12,000 miles in one year… I already put just over 10,000 miles in three month’s 😁 I love the ZL1 💯

I currently own a 2022 ZL1/1LE! I can honestly say, there is no bad. At least not in my case!

Damn I forgot RP even had a KZfaq channel lol

My wife has a new LT1 and we absolutely love it. I recently traded my 17 Mustang GT premium in for a new C7 and she traded her Challenger (sxt plus) and I will say the Camaro is pretty much my favorite to drive. There is even a small part of me that kind of likes driving her Camaro a little better than my C7, I think the 10sp vs the 8sp makes the difference. Her Camaro feels so fast and I could only imagine driving a ZL1. They really are a great car and by you having your's for so long is a testament to that. Totally agree with you and my 2 main complaints would be the trunk opening and getting in and out in tight spaces. Visibility isn't really that bad especially compared to her Challenger which was about the same.

Year later for me and this car still puts a huge smile on my face when I get on it. I love everything about it BUT ONE THING. Cant fit my golf clubs in the trunk. Other than that I'm not getting rid of her. anytime soon. I love this car . if your eyeing it make it happen you only live once!

I've never seen someone trade out of regular cars so often. RP spends enough in dealer fees, taxes, and titling over the course of a few years that if he just stayed in one car and saved the money have a super car!

I like the wild cherry tintcoat available for this year. Just ordered a zl1 in that color. The dealer said " be prepared to wait. "

Great review RP. Your channel is the reason I bought a very lightly used '18 2SS 1LE last Sept. Amazing car for the money and enough power for me... for now.

Seriously, why all the youtubers had to get a C8, just wonder. I think you should just keep the ZL1, plus if some reason ya have kids, ZL1 still got space for it.

I know what you mean about the power being overkill, I wanted a ZL 1, but after driving the SS 1LE I decided to skip the super charged version. I'm able to actually thrash my car harder than I would be able to do to the ZL 1. Great video

“The backseat does hold humans”💀

My breaks squeal too.. finally good to see another squealer lol. But i love my ZL1 other than that. No issues also in 3.5 years

The plum crazy scat pack is still my favorite.

I’ve had mine 2 years now and I’m still completely happy. It’s a fun car that still feels fast ass shit. Great bang for buck.

I prefer hellcats (Mopar or no car😏) but after watching this video I have a lot more respect towards ZL1’s 💯

Camaro is dream come true for me, can't wait for special order to come ,waiting for amazing Victor racing wing.

I’ve had a ‘21 2SS 1LE A10 for a bit over a year now and by far it’s the best bang for the buck amazing car.

I just picked up an LT1 Camaro and love it! It's been a dream for me to get a newer Camaro with the 6.2 liter V8.

Dream car for sure hopefully one day will be able to own one!

in 12 years from know i'll be 24. I'll be looking to buy one my self. Even though i'm only 12 and don't have a driver's licence, my dad gave me a 1994 V6 Camaro coupe. I'm looking to ls swap it and add lots of modifications (for looks and performance).

Nice video. You are the first person that has NOT complained about the stiff ride. I got a 2022 ZL1 1LE in May 2022. You are correct about the car being too much for the street. I will track mine so its ok. Most of the mods you talked about and your CAI are illegal in CA. I used to get excited about these mods but gave up since I am in CA!

I would love to add this car to my stable of muscle cars. I for tbe first ti e own a Mustang and it’s the 21 Shelby GT 500 and I’m blown away by how awesome it handles and how fast it is stock aside from a k & n intake and res delete which added maybe 30 hp which is a lot to get from just those two minor upgrades. Another thing that I am impressed with is the duel clutch transmission which is on par with the Porsche PDK 7 speed. We also have two modified Hellcats both with Magnuson 2650 superchargers and one with a Hellcat 426 stroker motor and E85 triple pump fuel system with a Cam, long tubes and all tbe other mods needed to make over 1000whp safely and the other is just a stock Hellcat 10% lower pulley on pump 93 with just a fuel system upgrade and leg maker to go with the Magnuson in the out of the box stock setup and makes almost 800 whp so probably can call her 900 hp to tbe crank. The 426 is just ridiculously fast but when driven normally you wouldn’t know you have 1200ish motor hp. The Shelby is engineered so perfectly we will not modify the engine at sll because I feel it will hurt the performance on the track because power you can’t control is useless and this car is damn near perfect as is. Tge Camaro ZL1 from wgst hear and from tbe numbers on tbe track is to me like the Shelby and unless you intend on just drag racing shoujd of not be messed with too much. Hellcats don’t handle well in stock form and most people don’t even try to road race them so they are more inclined to add as much power as they can and still hook up to get there 1/4 mile times as low as they can. Hellcats are straight line muscle cars period!! The GT500 and tbe ZL1 are called muscle cars but they are also sports cars tgst now home there own against supercars which is an incredible engineering accomplishments The 426 stroker I’ll never sell but the other one I would like to sell and out the money towards a ZL1 or ZL1 1KE if I can find one and I would want a six speed man for sure. We converted the 436 from a manual to an HP90 because of the massive power and tbe Shelby only available with the 7 speed duel clutch auto so I need a manual

The ZL1 is a beautiful car. The sound of the Chevrolet V8 engine is amazing. Great video!💪🏽

The "bad" things are just something to keep in mind with customizing.

I can't stop looking at this ZL1, beautiful car! I know you'll miss it!

Omfg that exhaust sounded amazing 🔥🔥

I bought my 2017 2SS Fifty because of your 1LE videos. Keep up the great work!

Just subscribed. Your expression while driving is just like me. My ZL1 1LE makes me smile and/or laugh every time I drive it. I agree it doesn’t need anything, but I was just looking at some minor upgrades (cai, pulley, tune for 91 (AZ)) when I stumbled on your videos. I love this car! My brakes squeal too. I got it used. I’ve heard they need to be bedded in properly. I’m hoping once I do that, it will take care of the noise. Nice video!

I remember when i had my SS 2016. I was plenty satisfied with the power. I never even used 100% of its power on the road.

Holy shit the exhaust is mean!!

I think the last video I watched was when you got this. For some reason your videos don't get in my algorithm anymore.

Hey Riley have been following you for a few years now and like your videos. I currently own a 2017 ZL1 and still to this day LOVE IT and brings a smile to my face every time. You may want to hold on to her until the Z06 new C8 comes out? Continue to have fun in for ZL1 while you wait. That’s what I plan on doing. Btw I agree with almost everything you said about the good and bad about the car. You nailed it!!!!

love my 2019 zli, no issues 4200 miles now after 1 year ;)

of all the different people doing reviews, I like how you do it the best so far. much more in-depth 1st person prospective

I'm not sure why there's complaints over entry and exit of a sports car. Same for visibility. It's the nature of the beast. In Texas cooled seats are appreciated. In fact, I wish there was a cooled steering wheel.

4:26 Try using a steering wheel cover!! 6:13 I know what you mean!! I had 3 other cars (very limited budget) but my Camaro just seems like It's in a class higher than the rest, even after costing about the same!!! I drive mine with the Traction Control AND the Stability Control OFF, (hold down the traction control button for 5 sec) and I can drift and grip corners with confidence!!! 9:57 It's like driving a cave at first, but you get used to it!!

I’m 15 and I’m a Chevy guy and love camaros, I always thought I’d be in debt if I ever wanted one but this video gave me hope, thank you👍

I think after my hellcat one of these will be in my garage. A lot of car for the money and don't see near as much as a Hellcat

Excellent audio quality in this video. I know thats not what people watch these types of videos for. But compared to the average audio quality I hear in these videos, yours is well above. Good work.

Nooooooo don’t sell the Zl1. Thing looks absolutely amazing.

If I own a beautiful ZL1 like yours and I had the choice between the C8 or the ZL1 I'm choosing the ZL1.

Glad to see you still doing video been subscribe to your page since your first charger idk KZfaq stop showing me your uploads until this

chevy orange 2ss convertible 10 speed 2020 bought it brand new.. happiest man on the planet.. have pulled more ass in this car during covid than my father his father and his father combined. i promise you

First. That boost is addictive. Own my first boosted car right now as well. And 6 speed is so good! Bring it into Matt sorian and bring a 2.35 pulley. You’ll get an easy 60-70hp gain. My ZR1 is at 11 months. Guess you bought the Zl1 right before me.

Just bought a 2017 with 7000 miles. Love it!!

The whine is sweeter than the exhaust for me , great in depth video , nice to see.. enjoyed your videos I worked for Gotham dream carbs,and the Ferrari, and Lamborghini, Aston and Porsche , all had squeaky brakes and the average client would squall at that all day .... not understanding the brakes abilities under stress ... it is annoying on a 10,000$ car and 400,000$ dollar car ... if your performance minded it’s livable .. if your a red carpet type it will blow

Challenger definitely more comfortable because the cockpit has a good amount more room. Shelby and tbe ZL1 both are a little tight and both have blind spot issues so very very similar cars. I would say the GT500 is more comfortable of a ride if you put her in normal or sport modes where the Camaro kinda has a rough ride even when you aren’t in Track mode and the Shelby is a bit faster but not much and I would say they are a tie when it comes to handles. Camaro better fuel efficiency and cheaper maintenance with a much cheaper oil change with similar tire wear. Predator motor needs an oil change every 5k and takes 12 quarts or 5W50 synthetic which is pricey costing $200 give or take just for the oil and filter compared to tbe HC costing under $100 at tbe dealer and under $50 if you change your own oil Tbe Camaro pushrod 6.2L supercharged v8 is about the same type of oil change as the HC’s pushrod 6.2L supercharged v8 so both much less than the Shelby. All around the ZL1 seems to be the best bang for the buck especially the base versions but I would prefer the 1LE with the wider tires, big spoiler and better suspension.

It's got a simple and nice exhaust on it ... *F for my headphones a sec later* 🤣

I'll never understand why you want to sell a car you love this much. When you sold the blue SS and bought a 5.0, you sold the 5.0 for a Camaro with in like a few months. Felt like you couldn't wait to get back in a Camaro. Keep it if you love it! I've also sold card and wished I hadn't.

For the driving side gettin in and out use your memory seat buttons. Use the one for exiting/entering to easily get in and out of. I complain sometimes but I love my ZL1

One foolproof fix for trouble settling in your seat. Youth.

I actually just bought one and I'm so glad I did its amazing no regrets:)

I was daydreaming about a Yenko 1100 HP ZL1 but my 455HP LT1 has more power than I will ever need. I really haven't much use for 5th and 6th gear. It does get super mileage if you can keep your foot out of it.

I turned in my 17 Hellcat lease and bought a slightly used 19’ ZL1 A10 and have been loving it. I rented a 16 SS and disagree that it’s as fun on the back roads as the ZL1, as I found it was quick but still needed more power to be satisfying imo. The zl1 is just right out of the box in that regard. All subjective of course. I hate how the camaro seats don’t properly recline without being modified. Alcantara looks and feels great but horrible on a high touch point like a steering wheel. The sweat, oil and friction from the hands will degrade it quickly.

Have had my Hellcat Redeye for almost as long as Riley had the ZL1. Really dig the look of his ZL1, it’s a great car, although I remember him saying one time he needed a responsible family car. Glad he didn’t take his own advice lol.

The oil pump failure is around 1,300-1,800 to fix. 😟. Buy from a Chevy dealer or already fixed.

I like the sound of the SC after the aftermarket intake. The only drawback is the pillbox outward view but this design is nice.

I have an ‘18 same color and it’s worth every dollar. That brake dust is about the only thing I could do without.

So which car have you enjoyed the most -- the Mustang, Camaro SS 1LE, Challenger Hellcat or the Camaro ZL1? Or, asked another way, if you could only have one as your sports car for the next five years, which one? Good video by the way.

wow this dude is an expert at burning money!

I’m following your footsteps slightly. Sold my cammed 2012 GrandSport in January. Just got an opportunity to pick up a mint Blue 2018 Zl1. Backseat much needed with my sons. Great vid and congrats on the C8 👍🏻🏁

Good review as always. Just got a 2020 2SS 1LE July 11. Ordered it in December, long wait.

I like the bright silver, deep ruby smoke red,deep blue, it's almost like I see more gray cars than anything out there,

I agree with your assessment although your Mustang is not a fair comparison to the 1LE and ZL1 you’ve had. You had the base suspension on your Mustang. A C8 will beat the ZL1 from a dig but not from a roll as you displayed.

You answered many of the questions that were on my mind. I presently have '19 Mustang 5.0 but I dont like the lack of low rpm power. Also my Stang is base so I really want some options like active exhaust, bigger info screen (4" now). I work all the time so I prefer to buy a car which already has all that done. This model of Camaro (if I can find a used one) sounds like the answer. Also you mentioned that the lower level SS might be all that I need. But I do like the idea of a rough and tuff factory race car like the ZL1 1LE. I have a daily suv that has all the day time comfort my family would need

Daily drive, where tf this dude drive to the store once every week ? Tf

Just got my zL1 out of the shop. Have had the car for three years now. A lifter started tapping. Took the dealer 6 weeks to install a new cam and lifters. Not sure what caused the problem. The engine only has 24,000 miles. Not going to extend my warranty which is up in two weeks. If it happens again, racing cam😈

Definitely my favorite model of Camaro

Had 2017 Chevy Malibu 1.5 it had 57,675 miles when I trade it in had no problems with engine or transmission and I took it to lots of places

I own a 2020 ZL1 I could not agree with you more.Mine does not have the squeaky brakes and also came equipped with the rear video cam. The cam works awesome no more blind spots . The one thing I don’t like is the brake dust on the wheels. I did the ceramic coating from Adams however it’s still annoying.

Our king is back

I wish more people realized how much car the 6th gen Camaro's are for the money

agreed on the leather seating! i have a 2023 sharkskin metallic ZL1 on order and that is the only thing i wished could’ve been available with both options.

RP Productions Great Video I'm glad you've had a Great year with your 2017 Camaro ZL1 and I can't wait to see a C8 Z51 Stingray on the Channel

Supercharger wine!! Sounds tasty.

First time seeing your video, awesome presentation and content man!

Good old American muscle. You can't go wrong in the Camaro. Between that and the Mustang, you're guaranteed to get the girl every time. I drive a German sport car but I'll tip my hat to the Camaro and Mustang gents when I see them on the road.

These cars are plain awsome

I got to build a zl1 2013. 30k 9.99 on the tuning track. I took the brembos out and installed a willwood big brake kit. Shaved the LCA.

That race against the c8 was lit..had to rewind a few times. Camaro going crazy

Great review. I have a '16 Camaro SS MT and also consider it a great car. Thinking of one day upgrading it, I would like to know from your experience of which is a better handling Camaro: the SS1LE or the ZL1? If you have to do it again which one would you get? The only thing that I hate from the new Shelby GT500 and the Corvette C8, is that they don't come in MT. I already tried a Cayman S in PDK DCT and even that is a very fast and accurate transmission, it felt very boring to drive it, paddle shifting it is just like playing a video game not even close to the driver's involvement of driving a MT. Enough said.

Bro if he sells his car i am so down to buy it

Hats off to you for getting a manual and DDing it. So many people are like "*waaaaah* driving a manual in traffic sucks *waaaaaah*" and those people are why manuals are dying

I need to paint mine red, I wanted it red with red seats and seatbelts and the brembo upgrade from the factory, that being said those were the only things my 2023 RS didn’t have so i made the decision to get this grey one because I can do those other things myself now

12000 miles in 12 months as a daily driver? Dang.. 12 miles on June 21st 11908 today. I wish I had your commute!!

I own a 2016 C7 Z07 Corvette and am in love so I wonder what it would be like driving a camaro… my buddy is getting a 2022 SS in two weeks so I’ll have to see how it differs in person!

Love mine got it used as gm wont pick up my order for a 1le so i bought a 2021 zl1 used and i dont think i will go with the 1le anymore. This car is more than i expected and such a dream to drive. Where i live you dont see any zl1 camaros. Typically we see lots of puddy cats and corvets. Everyone asks about my car lol

Thats pretty good for the zl1 to be manual, and the c8 to be dual clutch. Lt4 ftw💪🏽

Damn, I know the C8 is hella fast but that ZL1 is NO JOKE...Next to the C5 Z06 (which you can find under $25K these days), it is the best HP bargain on the market!

Have you thought about power Stop pads? That would reduce or almost eliminate your brake dust and noise issue and they are cheap.

Ya the C8 Vette is a beast and off the line it has a brutal launch similar to a Porsche Turbo but that’s about it. They bog out at high speeds however that’s where the new C8 Z06 is going to outshine them all even hybrid electric car’s like the Acura NSX and Ferrari SF90 Stradale.

My 18 Charger Daytona 392 had awful brake squealing. I just put Powerstop Carbon ceramic pads on stock rotors and i have 0 squeal now. Look into whatever carbon ceramic pads would work for the camaro and try that.

We have the same car I think, i have a 17 ZL1, black seat belts, no sunroof, Garnet red, 6 speed.

I own a 2020 ss2 convertible… I love it more than my 2021 Supra … prob gonna trade both in and get the 2023 zl1 or a new C8 dunno yet

I really wanted a review on this type of car because a camaro is my dream car so yeah

Yup thats how you get in. No foot marks on the door sills.
