  • I review the 580 hp 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 with a manual transmission. What do you think about the ZL1? This car is available from Harrison Auto Sales and more information about it can be found here: www.harrisonautos.com/2013_Che...

    This video cost me a lot of money. After watching it about a thousand times, I bought a 2013 ZL1 coupe. Yessir - this thing is fast and I do feel like a boss when driving it. Best purchase I’ve ever made. Thanks Matt!

      And you can lay waste to all the immature Challenger and Charger owners around the country that think they are the Kings of the road, and want to race every car they see. Dodge must be the official car brand for men with small penises LOL

    Glad you enjoyed the car man! I agree, the interior is drastically improved from when the car first came out. I sat it in it as the motor trend show and just said to myself quietly "thank god"
    Still can't see out of it with my short self though haha. Good review.

    So happy you reviewed a newer Camaro. Ever since 2012 Chevy has really stepped it up with these Camaros and has improved on most of the complaints you pointed out in the 2010 RS. I mean the V6's have been bumped up 20HP and more than that in torque and also have that new steering wheel and much more tight suspension.

    It's always amusing to see a person that normally drives 4-bangers finally drive a V8. They almost always get hit with the visceral excitement that makes V8s so much fun; like a kid with a brand new toy. LOL No other engine can provide that throaty, guttural note that a V8 can; not a V12, not a V10, and especially not a V6 or 4-banger. That authoritative, yet effortless acceleration is pure addiction. The V8 engine is by far one of the best things to ever happen in the automotive ethos. And considering the fact it can be scaled to make as much or as little HP as any other engine out there, it's probably THE best engine ever with regards to passenger/street vehicles.

    • @MrCharzard12
      @MrCharzard12 Před 10 lety

    • @xXeFilmsXx
      @xXeFilmsXx Před 10 lety

      Dylan Petersen No I think he just refocused it because I have the same camera and it does the same thing whenever you focus it while videoing.

    Great video! I can see how the ZL1 would make you giddy! I have this same car,2013 ZL1 but mine is black and I have the automatic which was a tough decision for me but Im more than happy with it! I can put it in manual and shift with the paddle shifter anytime I want.lots of low end tork! Plenty of compliments everywhere I go. I totally agree with the location of the boost gauge.they should have incorporated it in the HUD feature. My friend says its like riding in a "bunker" with the low cut windows but Im getting used to that and the somewhat restricted visability from inside.hey.its worth it! When I purchased this car it had around 3700 miles on it and I got a very good price.Moonroof,magnetic ride suspension,traction control,backup camera,remote start,bluetooth,sirius radio,onstar,supercharger,580 hp and plus its blazing fast! more than happy with this car! Love it!

      I feel ya! I have the same ride as you, 2012 v6 manual. I'm saving my pennies to buy the drivetrain from a totaled ZL1. The ultimate sleeper, ZL1 in an LS base model. No one would ever suspect it. No menacing look from the outside but it's all under the hood.

    Great video! I own a 2013 Manual black ZL1 as well, its the most amazing car ever. I traded in my shelby gt500 for the ZL1 and never looked back. Sure it has less HP but the feel of the ZL1 is amazing, plus the handling. The shelby was nice.. however to much hp and not enough handling..
    This guy's face was pricless... thats like me everytime I gass it!
    Some people like to do drugs and drink... but everytime I let loose on my ZL1 I feel amazing, such a rush!

    • @hassyali6033
      @hassyali6033 Před 9 lety +1

      Also I agree one thing I dislike about the ZL1 is the boost is in a horrible spot. If they put the boost on the HUD (heads up display)

    • @liljay300000
      @liljay300000 Před 9 lety +1

      Hassy Ali yeah I agree with you about that they should put a digital boost gauge on the HUD but the reason it is in the center counsel like that is because its a throw back to the old late 60's camaro rally package.

      Jared Tate Well cause he does car reviews if you didn't notice and he is also a Subaru fan, the 2.5rs is the only Good Subaru he hasn't done a review on yet. I'm Sure is because a Stock one is extremely hard to come by, most of them now are swapped with wrx or STi motors now

    I enjoy watching the reviews of awesome cars but I really like the enthusiasm of the driver and his feedback. Whenever he drives a fast car during hard acceleration the expression in his smile says it all. :) thanks for the reviews.

    I've found that when the sun is at a certain angle (evening and morning) the sun reflects off of the heads up display onto the windshield and the visors are not wide enough to shield from the sun in late evening and early morning. They don't extend or have extensions. I've also found the positioning of the accelerator with regard to my leg to be less than comfortable on all day trips on the freeway. Thoughts?
