Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE: 4th Place – 2017 Motor Trend Best Driver’s Car

We’ve all heard about the bad old days at GM when no car was allowed to challenge the Corvette’s performance supremacy. Those days are long dead. Team Camaro has applied its 1LE handling philosophy to the monstrously powerful ZL1, and the resulting monster is the most track-capable road car GM has ever sold. Up front, the standard Camaro ZL1’s 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 still makes 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque because frankly it didn’t need to make more. Being an enthusiast’s car, a six-speed manual is the only transmission on offer. An electronically controlled differential rounds out the powertrain. Out at the corners, magnetic shocks are replaced with Multimatic spool-valve shocks, and like the rest of the suspension, they’re hard-mounted with metal bushings, not rubber. The ride height, front camber, and rear anti-roll bar are all manually adjustable. A bigger grille improves cooling, and dive planes on the front corners and a massive rear wing provide downforce across the car. Equally massive carbon-ceramic brakes do the stopping. It’s Best Driver’s Car week! Don’t miss the incredible story of how we chose the 2017 Best Driver’s Car right here, and stay tuned for the World’s Greatest Drag Race, coming soon. Put it all together, nail the launch, and you’ll see 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and an 11.7-second quarter mile at 123 mph flat. Going the other way, the 3,837-pound ZL1 1LE will stop from 60 mph in a scant 91 feet. Put it on a skidpad, and it’ll pull 1.11 average g. Fling it at the figure eight, and you’ll get a 23.0-second lap at 0.93 average g. We Say “This car needs five-point harnesses because the dampers are so unforgiving. It’s true this 1LE has incredible grip; however, the compression damping is way too harsh while the rebound damping is just right. I’m not sure where they tuned this, but it clearly did not have a lot of bumps and jumps. The steering is freakishly quick. It took me three corners to calm my hands down, so I didn’t steer into and across the apex. The power seems to be well matched for the chassis, for a change, unlike the Z06. Third gear seemed very tractable and had a wide bandwidth. This feels like what I imagine a ’60s-’70s Trans Am car would be like.” – Chris Walton “I know Jonny loves this car, but I just can’t warm to it. Probably because I’ve lost all my fillings, and my kidneys are bruised. With the exception of the best roads, the ride in this Camaro is punishing. I’ve encountered smoother paint mixers. I had to remind myself that based on the numbers, this car is fantastic. Endless grip, fade-free brakes, abundant horsepower. But the thing is, I didn’t care. The bouncing was so bad that I found myself reacting to that instead of focusing on sheer act of driving. The Camaro might be brilliant on the track, but I wouldn’t want to drive this to get there.” – Derek Powell Read about other 2017 Best Driver’s Car contenders: Ferrari 488 GTB Porsche 911 Turbo S Porsche 718 Cayman S Lexus LC 500 Mercedes-AMG GT R Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Aston Martin DB11 Nissan GT-R NISMO Mazda MX-5 Miata RF McLaren 570GT “Simply tremendous … tremendous grip, tremendous brakes, and tremendous power. And how about that third pedal? This added that special connection to the vehicle that the Ferrari or 911 Turbo simply can’t match, which is why I ranked it higher than those two fancy (and expensive) machines. With the Camaro, I felt like I—not some fancy software—had a big part in conquering 198.” – Erick Ayapana “That’s a driver’s car! When the aero and the tires shake hands, it’s a moment of revelation. You are suddenly driving a hard-mounted race car. Unreal. So much power, so much control, so much stopping ability. An absolute monster of a machine. This is an uncaged race car. Being able to actually use all 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque is mind-boggling. I’m not sure how this car isn’t a podium finisher.” – Jonny Lieberman “Long name, amazing results! Everywhere a competitor put a wheel in the air, the Camaro stuck like glue. There’s a lot of vertical movement in the cabin, but the car just sticks no matter what. It never jumps sideways a foot when it hits a mid-corner bump, never moves around laterally at all. Even when it feels like you’ve carried too much speed into a corner, it sticks. I can’t count how many times I put the throttle flat on the floor. In a 650-hp car this stiff on this bumpy road, that’s seriously impressive. The eLSD takes a little getting used to. If you start to feed in power mid-corner, the car turns in more as the diff gets to work. Steer with the throttle? Yes, please! “Brakes have huge stopping power and great pedal feel. Squeeze, don’t stomp, and get exactly what you want. “I thought this car would be too stiff for the road, and that’s coming from someone who drove the Z/28 for a year. I was wrong.” – Scott Evans Randy Says “It was not perfectly balanced for me. I’m really trying to smear a little lipstick from the perfection here, but it would go from a little teeny bit of understeer, which was perfect, to a little bit of oversteer, which is almost perfect. But when we put it in the context of what it is, which is a front-engine rear-drive car with 650 horsepower, the traction was incredible. It put down power extremely well, I could drive it with everything turned off, and for me, that’s just so much more satisfying. “The dampers felt great. Basically I never thought about it. Which means nothing came into my awareness as being, oh, this is too stiff. Or that is too soft. I don’t sense roll. So when I just turn for the corner, it just lies over there. That’s not good terminology because I don’t feel it roll. I’m sure it does, but I don’t feel it. Which means it’s got good damping. When I’m down in the corner, in the middle, I still have a steering response, and I can still tighten it up. “It was happy coming out of the corkscrew. That’s always hard in a powerful rear drive car. Put the power down. When you’re in a low gear and it’s a hard right. It wants to power oversteer. But this one was pretty damn good. Especially at that power level. See, we have to keep this in context. “The car generated a tremendous amount of braking force, but for the first time in any high-performance Camaro, it had a long pedal. I was pumping it a little bit, and I remember going up that Corkscrew thinking, ‘Jesus and Heaven above, let these work.’ And boy did they work. It stopped so well. It was very, very pleasing and satisfying how late I could brake in this—what is a relatively heavy car. It’s light for a Camaro, a supercharged Camaro. A bad driver could crash it immediately, but for a reasonable guy who can drive really fast and doesn’t need stability control, this is the ultimate pony car right now.” 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 (1LE) POWERTRAIN/CHASSIS DRIVETRAIN LAYOUT Front-engine, RWD ENGINE TYPE Supercharged 90-deg V-8, alum block/heads VALVETRAIN OHV, 2 valves/cyl DISPLACEMENT 376.1 cu in/6,162 cc COMPRESSION RATIO 10.0:1 POWER (SAE NET) 650 hp @ 6,400 rpm* TORQUE (SAE NET) 650 lb-ft @ 3,600 rpm* REDLINE 6,500 rpm WEIGHT TO POWER 5.9 lb/hp TRANSMISSION 6-speed manual AXLE/FINAL-DRIVE RATIO 3.73:1/2.00:1 SUSPENSION, FRONT; REAR Struts, coil springs, anti-roll bar; multilink, coil springs, adj anti-roll bar STEERING RATIO 11.1:1-15.1:1 TURNS LOCK-TO-LOCK 2.3 BRAKES, F; R 15.4-in vented, 2-pc disc; 14.4-in vented, 2-pc disc, ABS WHEELS 11.0 x 20-in; 12.0 x 20-in, forged aluminum TIRES 305/30R19 98Y; 325/30R19 101Y Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R (Tread 100) DIMENSIONS WHEELBASE 110.7 in TRACK, F/R 64.1/62.8 in LENGTH x WIDTH x HEIGHT 188.3 x 74.7 x 52.0 in TURNING CIRCLE 38.7 ft CURB WEIGHT 3,837 lb WEIGHT DIST, F/R 55/45% SEATING CAPACITY 4 HEADROOM, F/R 38.5/33.5 in LEGROOM, F/R 43.9/29.9 in SHOULDER ROOM, F/R 55.0/50.4 in CARGO VOLUME 9.1 cu ft TEST DATA ACCELERATION TO MPH 0-30 1.6 sec 0-40 2.2 0-50 2.8 0-60 3.6 0-70 4.4 0-80 5.3 0-90 6.6 0-100 7.9 0-100-0 11.3 PASSING, 45-65 MPH 1.5 QUARTER MILE 11.7 sec @ 123.0 mph BRAKING, 60-0 MPH 91 ft LATERAL ACCELERATION 1.11 g (avg) MT FIGURE EIGHT 23.0 sec @ 0.93 g (avg) 2.2-MI ROAD COURSE LAP 1:34.30 sec TOP-GEAR REVS @ 60 MPH 1,900 rpm CONSUMER INFO BASE PRICE $71,295 PRICE AS TESTED $73,090 STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL Yes/Yes AIRBAGS 8: Dual front, front side, f/r curtain, front knee BASIC WARRANTY 3 yrs/36,000 miles POWERTRAIN WARRANTY 5 yrs/60,000 miles ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE 5 yrs/60,000 miles FUEL CAPACITY 19.0 gal EPA CITY/HWY/COMB ECON 14/20/16 mpg ENERGY CONS, CITY/HWY 241/169 kW-hrs/100 miles CO2 EMISSIONS, COMB 1.20 lb/mile RECOMMENDED FUEL Unleaded premium The post Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE: 4th Place – 2017 Motor Trend Best Driver’s Car appeared first on Motor Trend.

Camaro ZL1: os detalhes da versão mais poderosa do esportivo

O Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 é a versão mais poderoso do pony car americano, que é vendido no Brasil, mas apenas na versão SS, a segunda na hierarquia do muscle esportivo da General Motors.

Na sexta geração do Camaro, que aos 50 anos está em plena forma, o ZL1 é o suprassumo do esportivo, que tem ainda versões bem mais simples, como LS, LT e RS, além da nossa conhecida SS.

Das versões regulares do Chevrolet Camaro atual – a COPO é uma preparação para competição – a ZL1 é a mais poderosa, entregando nada menos que 650 cavalos.

O Camaro ZL1 tem ainda outras surpresas para quem decide pagar seu preço, que nos EUA é de US$ 62.000. Apesar de bem conhecida, essa versão do muscle car surgiu há pouco tempo, em 2012, ainda na quinta geração.

Camaro ZL1

Em praticamente quase toda a história do Chevrolet Camaro, a versão mais poderosa do muscle car foi a Z/28. No entanto, desde a quinta geração do bólido, a GM decidiu enterrar a clássica opção e oferecer algo novo.

Assim surgiu o Camaro ZL1 em 2012, destinado a estar no topo da gama do produto, que na época ainda não havia focado por completo em uma proposta realmente esportiva, vide o SS que era um “carro grande com motor V8”.

Contudo, o ZL1 veio para acabar com essa percepção, que também não era totalmente explícita na histórica Z/28. Mais ligada ao extremo e com arrancada brutal, a nova versão veio apimentar a talvez geração mais badalada do Camaro.

Na época do filme Transformers, o Camaro de quinta geração se tornou adorado no mundo inteiro e o ZL1 aproveitou o ganho para acrescentar mais “cubos de energon” ao esportivo da Chevrolet.

Camaro ZL1 – Estilo

O atual Camaro ZL1 é o da sexta geração, o carro mais próximo do Corvette em performance e que traz um coração realmente forte, o suficiente para arrancar de forma impressionante.

O ZL1 tem a habilidade de se disfarçar conforme o gosto do cliente, indo de um preto sóbrio e até certo ponto elegante, ocultando suas formas agressivas, até o pacote 1LE Extreme Track Performance, que dá ao bólido um aspecto insano.

Musculoso e expressivo, o Camaro ZL1 traz uma frente bem agressiva, a começar pela grade frontal, que tem elementos estéticos que deixam a boca bem expressiva. Ela ainda carrega o logo ZL1.

Os faróis cerrados com projetores de LED e luzes diurnas de mesma tecnologia, deixam o bólido com cara de mal. A grade superior é afilada e tem logotipo da Chevrolet escurecido.

Outro item que chama atenção no Camaro ZL1 são as molduras laterais do para-choque – que é exclusivo – com entradas de ar para refrigeração dos freios e mais luzes diurnas em LED, só que verticais.

Mais uma característica do ZL1 é o pronunciado spoiler frontal, que toma toda a extensão da base do para-choque, criando uma asa baixa bem rente ao solo. Isso conta e muito para manter esse Camaro anabolizado nas pistas.

O capô é outra marca do Camaro ZL1, já que a parte central do mesmo é cortada por um extrator de fibra de carbono, todo preto e com logotipo da versão. Ele recobre o imenso V8, que é o coração desse pequeno monstro.

Essa parte do carro se harmoniza com a faixa preta no teto, que também é diferente, pois, apresenta um rebaixo na parte central, que ajuda a reduzir o coeficiente aerodinâmico.

Na traseira, o Camaro ZL1 tem a mesma faixa preta sobre a tampa do porta-malas, que tem um aerofólio proeminente com a mesma faixa. As lanternas duplas em LED são escurecidas, assim como a gravata da Chevrolet.

O para-choque traseiro vem com o logo ZL1 e chama atenção pela parte inferior, onde há um difusor de ar com spoilers laterais, além de refletores. O bólido tem quatro bocas de escape cromadas e integradas ao conjunto.

O Camaro ZL1 normalmente tem rodas de alumínio de 20 polegadas com pneus de alta performance 285/30 ZR20 na frente e 305/30 ZR20 atrás. Com esse conjunto, o muscle car obtém seu melhor rendimento.

Por dentro, o esportivo vem com interior bem forrado de camurça, inclusive a alavanca de câmbio, dando assim mais conforto ao toque, durante as trocas de marcha.

Tendo detalhes em vermelho nas costuras, bem como em outras partes do acabamento, o Camaro ZL1 pode ainda ter revestimento em couro preto com detalhes rubros em microfibra da Recaro. É ela que faz também o HUD do painel.

Os assentos ainda possuem encostos personalizados com o logotipo ZL1. O cluster análogo-digital vem com apresentação gráfica exclusiva e instrumentação bem completa, podendo ser configurada em diversos modos de condução.

Além disso, o pony car possui um volante com aquecimento que tem fundo chato e aspecto pouco atraente. A multimídia MyLink é da versão atualizada e traz os sistemas Google Android Auto e Apple Car Play, aceitando este último sem cabo.

Tendo ainda o serviço OnStar a bordo, o Camaro ZL1 vem também com rádio-satélite SiriusXM, bem como câmera de ré e conexão com internet através de rede 4G LTE com Wi-Fi.

Há também um gravador de dados de desempenho, que utiliza a câmera frontal para imagem, bem como registra os dados e os coloca no mesmo ambiente para apreciação do piloto.

O ambiente todo preto ainda conta com ar condicionado dual zone, aquecimento dos bancos, ajustes elétricos dos assentos e detalhes em alumínio. Os cintos de segurança em cor vermelha também chamam atenção.

O espaço interno é bem contido, tendo um volume dedicado aos que vão na frente, enquanto o banco duplo traseiro, mais parece decorativo. Duas pessoas vão bem apertadas e quase sem qualquer espaço para as pernas.

1LE Track Performance

Com o 1LE Track Performance, que é um kit de acessórios para o Camaro, o visual do ZL1 fica bem mais exclusivo. Esse pacote de personalização focado nas pistas pode ser inserido em qualquer versão do muscle car, inclusive com 2.0 Turbo.

De acordo com a Chevrolet, “todos os modelos 1LE são projetados para entrar na pista com frenagem, direção, manuseio e aderência precisos”. Ou seja, mesmo que o Camaro tenha motor 2.0 Turbo de 314 cavalos, ele pode andar mais rápido.

No Camaro ZL1, obviamente as condições são mais extremas. Visualmente, o spoiler em forma de asa e bem próximo do solo chama atenção pela agressividade.

Diferente das versões RS e SS, o Camaro ZL1 com o 1LE Track Performance precisa de spoilers adicionais, montados em molduras laterais modificadas, que acrescentam esses defletores de ar mais elevados na frente.

Isso mostra o esforço necessário para manter o Camaro ZL1 em condição de pista com a cavalaria que ele apresenta.

O pacote ainda inclui asa traseira fabricada em fibra de carbono e em peça única, que aplica na traseira 136 kg de downforce.

Além do motor V8 6.2 sobrealimentado com 659 cavalos, o Camaro ZL1 Track Performance o Activ Rev Matching, que é um sistema de aceleração do motor nas reduções de marcha, de modo que a mudança seja feita de forma suave.

O chamado ARM permite monitorar a rotação e a posição do pedal de embreagem, a fim de que no momento da troca de marcha, o giro seja alterado para uma faixa mais adequada, com o objetivo de reduzir a perda e evitar trancos.

O 1LE Track Performance ainda modifica o sistema de refrigeração do Camaro ZL1, que passa a dispor de radiadores maiores para o motor, transmissão e diferencial.

No caso do sistema de exaustão de gases, o escape duplo ganha um reforço e modificações para ficar mais aberto e ajudar no ganho em desempenho, mas aumentando ligeiramente o ronco do ZL1.

O exaustor de fibra de carbono sobre o motor do ZL1 e exposto no meio do capô ganha cor preta no pacote.

O Camaro ZL1 ganha ainda amortecedores DSSV Multimatic com ajuste de pressão e altura. Da mesma forma, pode-se ajustar a cambagem das rodas e a pressão das barras estabilizadoras.

No ZL1 Track Performance, as rodas são aro 19 polegadas feitas em alumínio forjado, enquanto os pneus são Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R, que são exclusivos do Camaro, medindo 305/30 ZR19 na frente e 325/30 ZR 19 atrás.

Os freios da Brembo ganham reforço também, sendo dianteiros e traseiros com discos ventilados e pinças de seis pistões cada uma, garantindo assim um poder de frenagem realmente brutal.

Já o diferencial possui sistema de deslizamento limitado com relação de 3,73. Para finalizar, o pacote do ZL1 Track vem com volante esportivo em camurça, assim como bancos esportivos Recaro com reforços de alumínio.

A suspensão Magnetic Ride Control possui ajustes alterados no pacote 1LE, tendo ainda o modo Track com amortecedores bem rígidos para ajudar no contorno das curvas.

Direção, freios e alterações nos parâmetros de aceleração, reforçam a proposta do Track Mode, que busca a afinação perfeita para uma condução realmente esportiva na pista.

O gravador de dados de desempenho é diferente e exclusivo com o pacote 1LE. Assim, o Camaro ZL1 alcança seu melhor resultado em pistas, com um pacote de múltiplos ajustes, que o deixam adaptado a qualquer circuito.

Camaro ZL1 – Motor

O Camaro ZL1 vem com o motor LT4, preparado exclusivamente para o modelo. O V6 6.2 de alumínio é sobrealimentado com um compressor volumétrico, que permite ao propulsor entregar 659 cavalos a 6.400 rpm e 89,6 kgfm a 3.600 rpm.

Para suportar todo o esforço do LT4, que tem injeção direta de combustível, comandos de válvulas variáveis e desativação automática de cilindros, o ZL1 vem com uma transmissão automática de 10 velocidades.

Essa caixa foi desenvolvida em conjunto com a Ford, que a utiliza em modelos como F-150, Ranger, Mustang e Explorer, por exemplo. Na GM, o antigo Corvette também usava.

Contudo, o cliente do Camaro ZL1 pode optar por uma caixa manual, mais adequada quando usando o pacote 1LE Track Performance, já que dispõe neste do Activ Rev Matching.

Apenas com o conjunto de fábrica, o ZL1 vai de 0 a 100 km/h em 3,5 segundos, garantidos com modo de largada, que permite manter um giro adequado para saída com baixo deslizamento das rodas.

No quarto de milha, o Camaro ZL1 precisa de 11,4 segundos e 204 km/h para cumprir a missão. Já na velocidade final, o bólido alcança 319 km/h.

Infelizmente, a GM não tem planos para importação do Camaro ZL1, que poderia custar aqui bem acima de R$ 500 mil, uma vez que custa quase 50% mais que o SS.

Quinta geração

Com 30% de suas peças exclusivas, o Camaro ZL1 da quinta geração surgiu em 2012 como sucessor do antigo e clássico Z/28, só que mais anabolizado. Como a GM não tem uma Shelby, então a saída foi adicionar força com esta proposta.

O propulsor era o LSA, um V8 6.2 com supercharger de 1,9 litros e 7 psi de pressão, que ajudava a entregar 580 cavalos a 6.000 rpm e 76,6 kgfm a 4.200 rpm.

Na geração mais famosa do Camaro, após a clássica dos anos 60, o ZL1 tinha duas opções de câmbio, sendo um manual de seis marchas e outro automático com seis velocidades, sendo este o 6L90.

Tinha também suspensão Magnetic Ride, pneus exclusivos da Goodyear, freios da Brembo e bancos Recaro, tendo ainda captador de ar superior no capô e outras modificações estéticas visando refrigeração e aerodinâmica.

2019 Chevrolet Camaro SS First Test: 10 Speeds All The Richer

The Chevrolet Camaro was launched in 1966 with an available two-speed automatic transmission. By 1969, the Camaro got two different three-speed options. Fast-forward 50 years and five generations, and you can spec a 2019 Chevrolet Camaro SS with 10 forward gears. To quote Jasper Beardly of The Simpsons, “What a time to be alive.”

There was nothing particularly wrong with the eight-speed automatic available in the pre-refresh SS (which is why it’s still offered on turbo-four and V-6 trims), but with a 10-speed automatic co-developed with Ford at its disposal, GM saw fit to spread the gearbox that debuted in the ZL1 to more models in the Camaro lineup. The 10-speed is a $1,595 option on the SS.

Of course, the 2019 Camaro’s refresh involves much more than the automatic’s increased gear count. The updated pony car adds forward collision warning as an option and also gets a new infotainment system with available 8.0-inch touchscreen. Then, of course, there’s the exterior face-lift, which has been controversial to say the least. The headlights have been redesigned with new LED accents that flow into the grille, and the taillights return to the classic quad round lamp arrangement. More differentiation exists between the trim levels, and the SS’ new look has been by far the most derided.

Perhaps I’m in the minority, but after a few days driving the 2019 Camaro SS, I actually grew to like the new front end. The large, blacked-out grille with Z/28-derived flowtie badge looks menacing, and I think the body-color bits that jut into the grille make the front end look like the helmet of a Spartan warrior. Still, you might not want to get too attached. Chevy is said to be considering putting into production the front end of its Camaro SS SEMA concept, which added a body-color crossbar to break up the grille.

But enough about how it looks. How does it drive? Just as before, the Camaro SS is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter LT1 V-8 good for 455 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with the 10-speed auto, the SS is easy to drive around town. Some high-cog-count transmissions get confused at slow speeds, but I didn’t feel any jerky shifts with this unit, and gear hunting wasn’t an issue. The transmission hustles through the first five or so gears quickly to get you into an ideal cruising ratio, but a little application of the throttle is all it takes to kick down several gears and let the drivetrain know you want to have some fun.

Chevy’s lift-foot gear hold feature trickles down from the 10-speed Camaro ZL1 and is designed to prevent excessive upshifts or downshifts during spirited driving. Instead the shift logic will intuitively hold the gear you’re in even when you back off the throttle. In normal mode, throttle response from the direct-injected engine is already quick, but flipping the switch to Sport sharpens it even further. Steering wheel–mounted paddle shifters fire off near-instantaneous gear swaps, but the paddles themselves feel a bit chintzy for a serious sports car.

In acceleration testing, the SS automatic performed well. The Camaro posted a 4.1-second 0–60 mph time, matching the result of a 2018 Camaro SS 1LE with a six-speed manual. It was also slightly quicker in the quarter mile at 12.4 seconds at 115.8 mph versus 12.5 seconds at 115.2 mph for the 2018 manual. Road test editor Erick Ayapana praised the transmission for its “nice crisp shifts” during the run down the dragstrip. The Camaro also performed well in braking tests, stopping from 60 to 0 mph in 103 feet, which is on par with pre-refresh sixth-gen Camaro SS models. “Solid brake feel, good bite,” reported Ayapana. “No signs of fade after six runs.”

The 2019 Camaro SS also just about matched the figure-eight numbers of the pre-refresh, non-1LE SS, clocking a time of 23.9 seconds at an average of 0.84 g. That’s certainly an impressive time, but according to testing director Kim Reynolds, it didn’t come easy. In Track mode with stability control off, the Camaro required great finesse when lapping our course.

“I only used third gear because in second the tail is way too sensitive, and even in third it’s extremely easy to launch it sideways,” Reynolds wrote in his notes. “The way to drive this thing is to very, very carefully keep it mildly understeering and only mildly oversteering on exit. So you have to be meter-in steering and throttle very carefully. This is not a car to be horsed around. A spin is a twitch of the right foot away.”

Drifting your way through the figure eight is always an option, though Reynolds says that method would inevitably be slower (but probably pretty fun). Interestingly, the Camaro SS exactly matches the figure-eight result we got for a 2018 Ford Mustang GT, which was equipped with Ford’s version of the 10-speed auto. That car, with its 460-hp, 420-lb-ft 5.0-liter V-8, was quicker in acceleration testing, however. The 10-speed GT ran the quarter in 12.1 seconds at 118.8 mph and sprinted to 60 in 3.9 seconds.

The Camaro SS’ capabilities can’t be fully utilized outside the track, but they can still be enjoyed. Extra-legal speeds are almost too easy to reach when you have enough room to gallop, and it doesn’t help that the burly V-8 engine note only gets sweeter as the rpms climb. There’s also fun to be had in the twisties, of course. The GM Alpha platform that underpins the sixth-gen Camaro continues to impress with its inherent rigidity, and the sport suspension does a fine job of dialing out excess body roll in the corners. But with the stiffer suspension comes a stiff ride, which is accentuated by 20-inch wheels wrapped in low-profile summer tires.

I liked that I could get a low seating position, but I could have used a bit more side bolstering from the stock seats. Recaro performance bucket seats are available as a $1,595 option and are included in the $7,000 SS 1LE package, though that equipment group is only available for manual-transmission cars. The new infotainment system is quick and responsive, but looking at a screen that’s canted forward takes some getting used to.

Unfortunately, a midcycle refresh can’t do much to address the Camaro’s poor outward visibility. A narrow greenhouse and high beltline make for a claustrophobic experience in rush hour traffic. Our 2SS tester came standard with blind-spot warning, a rearview camera, and rear cross-traffic alert, which help make the Camaro easier to live with as a daily driver.

The only option our 2019 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS came with was the 10-speed auto, which brought the price to $44,590. A manual 2SS starts at $42,995. Even without the cost savings, my heart would lean toward the six-speed because I like the added engagement that comes with rowing your own gears. But considering my commute is an hour each way, there’s a chance my head would win the battle and I’d go for the 10-speed instead—especially when it’s as quick as the manual and offers similar thrills.

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE: 4th Place – 2017 Motor Trend Best Driver’s Car

We’ve all heard about the bad old days at GM when no car was allowed to challenge the Corvette’s performance supremacy. Those days are long dead. Team Camaro has applied its 1LE handling philosophy to the monstrously powerful ZL1, and the resulting monster is the most track-capable road car GM has ever sold.

Up front, the standard Camaro ZL1’s 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 still makes 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque because frankly it didn’t need to make more. Being an enthusiast’s car, a six-speed manual is the only transmission on offer. An electronically controlled differential rounds out the powertrain. Out at the corners, magnetic shocks are replaced with Multimatic spool-valve shocks, and like the rest of the suspension, they’re hard-mounted with metal bushings, not rubber. The ride height, front camber, and rear anti-roll bar are all manually adjustable. A bigger grille improves cooling, and dive planes on the front corners and a massive rear wing provide downforce across the car. Equally massive carbon-ceramic brakes do the stopping.

It’s Best Driver’s Car week! Don’t miss the incredible story of how we chose the 2017 Best Driver’s Car right here, and stay tuned for the World’s Greatest Drag Race, coming soon.

Put it all together, nail the launch, and you’ll see 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and an 11.7-second quarter mile at 123 mph flat. Going the other way, the 3,837-pound ZL1 1LE will stop from 60 mph in a scant 91 feet. Put it on a skidpad, and it’ll pull 1.11 average g. Fling it at the figure eight, and you’ll get a 23.0-second lap at 0.93 average g.

We Say

“This car needs five-point harnesses because the dampers are so unforgiving. It’s true this 1LE has incredible grip; however, the compression damping is way too harsh while the rebound damping is just right. I’m not sure where they tuned this, but it clearly did not have a lot of bumps and jumps. The steering is freakishly quick. It took me three corners to calm my hands down, so I didn’t steer into and across the apex. The power seems to be well matched for the chassis, for a change, unlike the Z06. Third gear seemed very tractable and had a wide bandwidth. This feels like what I imagine a ’60s-’70s Trans Am car would be like.” – Chris Walton

“I know Jonny loves this car, but I just can’t warm to it. Probably because I’ve lost all my fillings, and my kidneys are bruised. With the exception of the best roads, the ride in this Camaro is punishing. I’ve encountered smoother paint mixers. I had to remind myself that based on the numbers, this car is fantastic. Endless grip, fade-free brakes, abundant horsepower. But the thing is, I didn’t care. The bouncing was so bad that I found myself reacting to that instead of focusing on sheer act of driving. The Camaro might be brilliant on the track, but I wouldn’t want to drive this to get there.” – Derek Powell

Ferrari 488 GTB

Porsche 911 Turbo S

Porsche 718 Cayman S

Lexus LC 500

Mercedes-AMG GT R

Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

McLaren 570GT

“Simply tremendous … tremendous grip, tremendous brakes, and tremendous power. And how about that third pedal? This added that special connection to the vehicle that the Ferrari or 911 Turbo simply can’t match, which is why I ranked it higher than those two fancy (and expensive) machines. With the Camaro, I felt like I—not some fancy software—had a big part in conquering 198.” – Erick Ayapana

“That’s a driver’s car! When the aero and the tires shake hands, it’s a moment of revelation. You are suddenly driving a hard-mounted race car. Unreal. So much power, so much control, so much stopping ability. An absolute monster of a machine. This is an uncaged race car. Being able to actually use all 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque is mind-boggling. I’m not sure how this car isn’t a podium finisher.” – Jonny Lieberman

“Long name, amazing results! Everywhere a competitor put a wheel in the air, the Camaro stuck like glue. There’s a lot of vertical movement in the cabin, but the car just sticks no matter what. It never jumps sideways a foot when it hits a mid-corner bump, never moves around laterally at all. Even when it feels like you’ve carried too much speed into a corner, it sticks. I can’t count how many times I put the throttle flat on the floor. In a 650-hp car this stiff on this bumpy road, that’s seriously impressive. The eLSD takes a little getting used to. If you start to feed in power mid-corner, the car turns in more as the diff gets to work. Steer with the throttle? Yes, please!

“Brakes have huge stopping power and great pedal feel. Squeeze, don’t stomp, and get exactly what you want.

“I thought this car would be too stiff for the road, and that’s coming from someone who drove the Z/28 for a year. I was wrong.” – Scott Evans

Randy Says

“It was not perfectly balanced for me. I’m really trying to smear a little lipstick from the perfection here, but it would go from a little teeny bit of understeer, which was perfect, to a little bit of oversteer, which is almost perfect. But when we put it in the context of what it is, which is a front-engine rear-drive car with 650 horsepower, the traction was incredible. It put down power extremely well, I could drive it with everything turned off, and for me, that’s just so much more satisfying.

“The dampers felt great. Basically I never thought about it. Which means nothing came into my awareness as being, oh, this is too stiff. Or that is too soft. I don’t sense roll. So when I just turn for the corner, it just lies over there. That’s not good terminology because I don’t feel it roll. I’m sure it does, but I don’t feel it. Which means it’s got good damping. When I’m down in the corner, in the middle, I still have a steering response, and I can still tighten it up.

“It was happy coming out of the corkscrew. That’s always hard in a powerful rear drive car. Put the power down. When you’re in a low gear and it’s a hard right. It wants to power oversteer. But this one was pretty damn good. Especially at that power level. See, we have to keep this in context.

“The car generated a tremendous amount of braking force, but for the first time in any high-performance Camaro, it had a long pedal. I was pumping it a little bit, and I remember going up that Corkscrew thinking, ‘Jesus and Heaven above, let these work.’ And boy did they work. It stopped so well. It was very, very pleasing and satisfying how late I could brake in this—what is a relatively heavy car. It’s light for a Camaro, a supercharged Camaro. A bad driver could crash it immediately, but for a reasonable guy who can drive really fast and doesn’t need stability control, this is the ultimate pony car right now.”
