To those that hate the interior, yeah it should be better for a car that cost that much...but it's the standard on the entire lineup. It's a retro interior and it does a fine job at that and it's a minimalist approach and to me that's better than a million buttons that over-complicate the driving experience. They obviously saved money inside the car to put into the exterior, sophisticated suspension, and engine.
Dam this still looks good in 2020
That exhaust is called dual mode exhaust. Opens up more at higher speeds. It's an option on the V6 and SS models too.
why the dislikes guys? this was an awesome review
I drove a 2013 6 speed version with the touchscreen MyLink radio. REALLY spices up the interior and lord did that car have some power.
Nurburgring in 7:41. Not too shabby at all. That's 18 seconds quicker than the 2009 CTS-V with the same engine (albeit a few less hp). Even sounds like a V. Sweet car.
Wow, the C pillar is large enough to hide an aircraft carrier.
In response to the exhausts- yes, yes... I know that- my m3 has the same thing, so does the Audi, so does a porsche and a ferrari- it's a small baffle that opens up at higher speeds on the other tubes of the exhaust. It's the reason why on some cars some of the quad exhausts have soot on only two of the exhausts and not all 4. Porsche allows for it to be turned off and on - its called active exhausts- just opens the closed baffles.
This color does not do the car justice. The headlights are dope tho
Yeah i agree, the headlights look badass. Just the color and the wheels are a no for me.
Amazing machine as always.
I wouldn't go so far as to say...Aircraft carrier...I mean...Those aren't huge...They're fvcking HYOOGE!
But a B-52 or two wouldn't be that difficult to hide ;)
the exterior looks great, but the interior could be more exciting
Another great review, Tom. Thanks.
No push button. Damn straight.
It doesn't really matter what the gas mileage is. If you can afford to drop 60 grand on it you can afford to feed it. Its not likely to be a daily driver anyway. Sure does look like a lot of fun though.
I hate when people say they shouldn't make sports cars in Auto form I would never get a stick I'm Charlotte it's aggravating as hell
Now, he said you could get a 100hp more with a lil more tweaking on a 69 ZL1. Can u say, "MOST FUN EVER"?!!!!!! An all aluminum carbureted 427 on polyglas tires, a 4-speed Muncie, and the sound, the smells, the punch all over your body....... Orgasmic Oh why doesn't GM just take Dynacorn bodies and just remake 69's?!!!!!!
Great Review Tom!
Hey, Tom -- you should've put "Evil Twin" in the back seat.
You're absolutely right! This is certainly no video to be doing IMMATURE things like speaking the truth and exposing it to a comment section full of "mature" Camaro drivers/enthusiasts. They have more serious things to worry about, such as how to get their seatbelt around their bellies, bloated from all the government Kool-Aid they drank to hold their interest in foreign cars with US disguises.
Tell you what sport - best thing to do when you spot one of my "immature" posts is just to ignore it
You do a lot of producing? Where are your videos?
People that complain about automatics with paddle shift obviously never driven hard enough, or in enough batshit crazy traffic to realize the benefits it has over a manual, manual is better for weekends, automatic is better for weekdays.
best car reviewer on the net.
better than Cnet's Brain Cooley imo.
My 69 had plenty of passenger space in the back and it was a smaller car than the crap they're making now.
I think Chevrolet was dissappointed with the ZL1 which is why they made the Z28. It seems they finally made a 5th gen the way it should be. Big motor 427 with weight reduction. This car has a Cadillac motor (when they should have implanted the ZR1 motor) and it's just as heavy as the rest. This is CTS-V with a Chevy emblem.
Yes, and as we know, the occasional burst of youthful exuberance is the quickest way to an early grave. Superior deity of your choice FORBID there be anything resembling FUN in our lives!
(Besides, sparring with the flamers is a good exercise to keep the online talons rapier-sharp and trocar-effective.)
Wrong video to do this tough guy. This channel is for adults and mature drivers/enthusiasts. I'm not a Camaro driver so don't even go there. Read all the other comments here and then read yours. Then you tell me if you do not sound ridiculous :)
They have to be to match the massive A pillars. lol
Tom you have to be in Top Gear US
Interesting definition of 'fun'.
Just FYI, there is a definition for people who post comments with the intent of provoking flamers into some sort of emotional response (usually unpleasant). I think you know what that word is.
But anyhow I learned something new from you about the ZL1 so I guess I owe you a thanks. But other than that I don't see the reason for continuing this dialogue.
Be well and keep those online talons sharpened because online flamers are notorious for persistent stupidity
I'd love to see a chellenger review! More of a chellenger person myself but I do like the camaro over the standard mustang
I wasn't going to say anything, but why even comment on stop and go traffic if you're in an automatic lol??
You missed the whole point then. He was pointing out that 580 hp is basically worthless in traffic but even with that much power its drives like a normal car.
Tom--how do I put this--how can I do what you do?
Love your reviews!
Commenting from the future
Now that you reviewed the ZL1 I think you are almost obligated to review GT500 :)
44 Dislikes? I don't think they could read!!!!
thats why it rocks
This is best for average consumers
that*
do i need to tell you it's super- aaaah, now you can read lol
"That's your impression"? You might us well have posted some stills and read through the spec sheet.
Awesome review.
And no. I don't sound the least bit ridiculous. But then, the truth never does.
So there.
Why does the 2013 Camaro ZL1 looks better than the 12.
no emergency tire? D:
I finally saw one today at lunch when a white s5 was keeping lace with me. I could only tell it was the big bit as a result of the quad exhausts... Which my m3 and the s5 both had. The driver was weaving in and out like a prick though.
Automatic??? You might as well have just reviewed a camaro LS
Oh shut the hell up.....
is it really hard to drive stick shift (manual)??
automatics are faster dumb shit. Get with the times!
I like the muscle car!
I prefer my Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR ;)
chevy brings the power, and the mpg lol fuck prius
nice!!!
A vow of poverty helps...
big balls
GT500 all day everyday
I see. Well, speaking the truth isn't always the most popular thing to do. You will often get flamed by people online for simply speaking the truth -- believe me I know.
What I was going after was how your first comment sounded. With excessive use of HAAAA HAAAA and all the exclamation marks.
It's not a crime to do that and no one's stopping you. But it does make you sound like you're 15... just my opinion.
Not against gt500
Witch engine has the zl1 ?
Plz !
What the fuck did u just say?!
What the fuck did u just say?!
LSA
Wtf lol
automatic no bueno!
most Australian cars aren't....
The only reason this guy put so much paper toilet back in the trunk in case of 500 Shelby GT scared the s*** out of him so he can wipe his butt
the base Camaro has more horsepower than a base Mustang
thrashtilwedie nobody is talking about your stupid base crap.
An automatic? C'mon hahah
Camaro needs a rearend makeover its so basic mustang iz whatsup
They shouldn't make ZL1's, or any other sports car, with automatic transmissions...
DIY Amateur Hour autos are faster cars plain and simple
try 3 and about 25% of a chalenger
woops XD challenger*
Great Car - Horrible Interior for $60K
beauty is obviously not a forte.......
"Chevrolet" Camaro.
"American" Ingenuity.
Designed by Australians (Holden).
Built by Canadians (non-Americans).
Still can't catch a comparable Mustang.
HAAAAAA HAAAAAA HAAAAAA.
What will you Bowtie boys do in 2015, when the Mustang gets IRS? Then you won't be able to touch one on the strip OR the track!
HAAAAAA HAAAAAA HAAAAAA!!!
Reg camaro=v6 ss camaro=v8
Hah
you mean Canadian? lol
Go back to driving your Yaris.
Honestly, I just want the drive train of the ZL1 with the body of a '69. the new Camaro isn't very good looking...
Automatic :(
Fucking and?! Your point?
+Vince vd Arend A car like that should always have a manual. It's not all about speed, it's about man/machine and that seems to be lost nowadays.
these things need to be retired
2nd:)
...the hell is a "chellinger"???
lol looks like plastic
Not the point of the car... *facepalm*
