I get caught looking at my car all the time🤣
Dude I got busted by a cop
If you don't get out of your car and turn to admire it, you bought the wrong car.
This is so me, for a few years now I keep saying, one day, one day, I will own a Shelby GT350, and I will.
Keep saving and looking, you'll get there! Just got my GT500 2 years ago, and was so worth the wait! Stick to your guns, get exactly what you want
I have a '16 SS. I've had it for 5 years now. I still love it as much as the day I bought it. That honeymoon phase never ended for me. If I do trade it, it will be for a Nightfall Grey ZL1, just like my SS. And, it MUST have a manual transmission like the SS as well.
Have owned my 2021 ZLE for just over 3 weeks now. Hands down best car ever. The suspension is quite stiff though. I would stay with the mag ride unless you plan on tracking it.
The 6 speed is one of the best on the market and rev matching is magic!
I have a 2013 SS Camaro 6 speed manual! Love it LS3 .
Me too! Camaro SS rules baby!
Completely understand spending time in the garage just to stare at you car. I have a 2021 LT1 redine edition and do the same thing. You have a bautiful ZL1.
Great video! Good to see an average guy get his dream car! Congrats! My obsession with the ZL1 started with Nick's videos also. Still have a year or two of saving but I WILL own my dream car too!
Sweet ride bro! Welcome to the channel & thanks for sharing. 💪
A 1LE conversion would be great. I look forward to following your progress.
we have the exact car as you, we live in Canada and got the 1st 2017 ZL1 shipped to Canada. We also love our car, and like you there is nothing more that I enjoy as grabbing a beer and sitting in my garage and stair at our NASTYZL1. We have done quite a few mods and drag the car a fair bit, but just admiring the car is what I enjoy the most. Have fun with your new car and I am looking at what you do to it>
I paid $56,000 for mines and it had 1800 miles with sunroof option in 2018. The prices now are crazy on them! All that said the best purchase I’ve ever made car wise!
Congrats! I got my fully loaded '17 2SS w/ 12K miles back in 2018 for $34K. I've had some issues, but I absolutely love the car
The good old days! Now GM can barely build them... damn chip shortage.
This man understands me, respect brother🙏🏼👊🏼🔥
I was one of the guys that hated the 6th gen camaros but my dad basically converted me to liking them because he had a 19 ZL1 1LE in black so I actually dig the ZL1's I currently own a 14 GT500 car looks amazing man
"Some people like Netflix, I like staring @ my cars", No BS here, you have proven yourself to be a real car guy
Beautiful car. I can totally relate to going to the garage and staring at your car. I gotta 2017 2ss a few months ago and I still randomly walk into the garage to drool over my car
wouldn't trade my 2018 ZL1 for anything .....i got the auto 10 because i drove manual transmission for 25 years....enough of that crap. no way i'd go back to manual after feeling the auto 10 speed. the quickness is just amazing. i have the nightfall gray metallic. love it long time!
Totally agree I did the same thing love the A10
Just got a 2018 zl1 in June. It's so awesome
I agree...I have the 2019 (all black) ZL1....it looks so mean and beautiful at the same time. Love this year because of the clear tail lights and the camera rear view mirror. LOVE MY 6 SPEED!!! Then there is the sound..........
Man I LOVE ur ride. I have a 2014 ZL1 which is heavily modded. I don't think I will ever get rid of it! Congrats on your beautiful ride. I do look forward to seeing your build progress. Subbed!
Nice video! I like the color scheme of the cars and garage!
I really like your Camaro ZL1. I ordered a 2017 ZL1 nightfall grey 10 speed. I had problems with the transmission. I traded it and ordered a C8 Corvette Z51 which I received in January 2021. I kick myself for doing that. I miss the Camaro. Thinking on selling the VETTE and looking for a Camaro ZL1.
Great video! Go for the 1le conversion I did one and love it
such a nice video, thanks guys :)
Video starts at 4:24
Just subbed. I bought my dream car in November and it’s a 2019 Camaro ZL1 black and also No Sunroof for the same reason as you. Congratulations.
Thank you for this, literally all I needed to make my decision. Even went with a 17 because of the rear bumper (did get a sunroof though). Got my dream car!
Best car I've ever owned, hands down.
Very happy for you that you that you got the car and the trucks in the garage done 👍😊
Wow love it!! Nice bro
Here is a review on my 17' SS Camaro 6 speed, blk on blk on blk rims with Matt blk racing stripes. Bought new in 17'. Daily driven for 4 years. 47k miles. Change fluids, 1 set of new tires about to ad 3rd set on rear, and gas it up! Love this car.😁
Beautiful beast, congrats.
I was close to getting a Zl1 - had a 17 SS1le and I loved it. But I decided to order a C8. Black looks great inside.
I love this car😍😍 Dreaming of owning one myself 🤩
Have a 2022 coming in about 2 weeks cant wait. my 2020 was amazing wmazing and awesome
I have a 2014 2ss, 6 speed manual.
Love it!
Looking for a 2021 zl1 now
Without a thought.. do it 💯
1LE build 🔥🔥
2018 ZL1 10 speed...much respect.
So inspirational bro, gives me hope that I’ll get a ZL1
yes ..go for the conversion
Your garage is amazing!
I'm literally in the process of saving for my own ZL1!!!!
absolutely love 6th gen zl1 I’m working on trying to find myself one now! Been wanting one for years now
....also, mad respect for your choice of manual transmission. Your right! They will be instinct soon!!! 😥
The 2021 ZL1 is the Grand of them all..
That Camaro ZL1 is one badass ride!
Damn dude thats my dream car
Man… been looking at this car more and more. Gotta go grind.
Love the 6th gen ZL1 amazing car
Badass car bro good job. I hope one day I'll have my dream car a 2014/15 Z/28 Camaro has to be a Stick MANUAL. One day hopefully one day I'll have it.
I’m getting my one too to have bless a beautiful car man enjoy it
Definitely got the color and trans right brother!!! The 1LE is way way stiffer than the ordinary ZL1, if you do it be prepared lol
Hello just watched this video and love this car. I plan on ordering a brand new 2023 Camaro ZL1 this June. I have been going back and forth about adding the 1LE package because I love the way the ZL1 1LE looks. I just think I will regret having the stiff suspension. I do live in Florida where most of the roads are very nice, however. So I would like to see you do a conversion to make your ZL1 look like a 1LE. Where would you buy the items to do the conversion?
7:00 DUDE. EXACTLY MY POINT. I LOVE that body line and it always pisses me off to see one with a sunroof..
Love my ZL1 1LE 🦇
me again, try ZL1 Ad Ons, for your rock chip/tire problem, we have them and they are very subtle and do a fantastic job. We have Michelin 3350 30 R 20s on the rear 305s on the front and no stone chips, An alternative to going with 1Le suspension (very expensive) is a programable body control module. There is a very good company that makes one (can not remember the name) and the owner is a road trace enthusiast, his module will allow you to adjust the mag-ride to be as good as the 1LE's. Just a thought. Good Luck and have fun :)
Definitely good advice. Just like the supercharged LT4, the mag ride has a ton of tuning potential on the table.
I love my ZL1 especially when I got it at the age of 21yrs old now I’m 22 going onto 23 but I do feel myself eventually moving towards the 1LE version or ZR1 later on I’m also in Texas and I might take it to LMR to get build idk yet
Subbed. I have 19 Riverside blue M6 ZL1. Regarding the 1LE conversion….personally I would do just the body components. I would not give up the mag ride. With the body mods, BMR cradle lock out and Eibach lowering springs you can run with the 1LEs and still have your mag ride
I want the 2022 ZL1, but I’d like the 1LE dive planes, splitter, and tire size without the brick suspension of the 1LE. So I’ll most likely get the ZL1 and put the back tires up front and buy 325s for the rear and get the splitter/planes. Not sure about the rear wing.
I think GM charges Zl1 owners for 2 engines just in case they have to replace it.
They probably figured out the customers could be their test dummies for the engines instead of in house testing and make the client pay the bill.
The taillights and rear end on your year ZL1 is much better than the new ones. Honestly, I don't know what they were thinking with that change. It's like they went in reverse,...the 2017-2018 rear-end looks updated, more modern and overall better than the new ones.
I like it especially the color
👍Great vid. Beautiful car. Negative on the 1LE conversion. Just trade up for an actual 1LE and build that. I had a 2017 ZL1 auto in nightfall grey. Loved it, but had to sell it. I did a Corsa double x-pipe, which deletes the second pair of cats and it was an excellent mod. Just the right amount of increased db's without sacrificing the adjustable exhaust. I'd highly recommend. Also some smoked out led side marker lights with the 1LE taillights and 3rd brake light would look good. I did a ported throttle body which helped with the soft tip in on the gas pedal. Don't know if you have E85 in your area, but that would be the best/easiest bang for the buck in adding some horses. Good luck.
Buy some Michelin PS4 tires. They are way better. I have a 18 Zl1 and they are night and day better in every aspect.
Gud job man gud garage to 👍🏽🖤
Best car ive ever had no doubt
I've been thinking about a '22. Are you worried any about the oil pump or other issues?
I watch my oil pressure like a hawk, but I should be ok based on my ZL1s build date 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Would love to see the process of full 1LE conversion. But those DSSV dampers man 4000 for the pair. Yikes.
I like the 68 SS/RS Camaro better.
Tell them to lower the gas prices! Not everyone wants a gay electric Tesla!
is that dealership you bought you ZL1 in Warrenton Virginia
The guy who made the statement about the $800 monthly car payment should have thought about that before he bought it.
It's not weird Lol I have a beautiful 5th Gen and she has curves for days. I sit out on my carport and enjoy my car all the time Lol Beautiful Zeta brother ;) thanks
I've done it! One of the Best and Worst Decisions 😂
It's awesome at the moment. But then you realize how much money you would have saved if you didn't have $800/ month car payments
Should have gotten the 10 speed. It's faster and the combination of the engine and the transmission is what makes it special. Congrats anyway though. I love mine and will never sell it.
The 10 speeds are wicked fast yea, but driving a manual is a feeling like no other and it’s boring just holding the steering wheel letting the car do everything
@@cvestrand2259 couldn’t agree more. Recently drove the manual, as well as the automatic and while the auto is slightly faster, the car feels numb in comparison. Also the technology in the manual, with rev match and flat foot shifting from the factory why wouldn’t you take the manual?!
@@mr3xklusiv EXACTLY 💯
@@mr3xklusiv is not slightly faster unless you are a pro driver. Let's not even get into the fail of launching the 6 speed. Hey, if you want to get beaten by a mustang gt with the 10 speed, then more power to you. If you're still skeptical, I suggest you go and watch the nurburgring lap set. The rpms litterly stay in the max power range gears 2 to 6. That's simply not the case with the 6 speed.
One last thing I forgot to mention. You get remote start with the 10 speed. I use it everyday to hear my car start from the outside. I like seeing the reactions of people.
Can you de-wing the 1LE I’m not a fan but rest is bad ass
I have a 85 camaro in would love to put a lt1 engine in it.
That’s definitely the way to go. It would be a beast!! What do you have in it now? 305?
Try the no lift shift on it! Awesome thing on them from factory !
💯 It’s the strangest thing the first time you do it. Feels like you should be breaking something 😂 Chevy‘s best kept secret! Surprised GM doesn’t market this feature better
@@Muscle.Car.Central haha it is if you’ve never really done it before. I’ve done it on multiple other cars and it’s fun. Yea I’m surprised it’s not talked about more. Definitely a dope car! My wife is definitely excited to get one soon.
Had a friend with a turbo Cobalt that had no-lift (honestly, I probably wouldn’t have tried it in my own car haha). That was probably 15 years ago. That little turd was faster than a Firebird formula (LT1 auto). Performance has come a long way since then... hope you both enjoy your new ZL1!!
Nice garage, hard to find a ZL1 these days 🤷🏾♂️Mach 1 or ZL1?
Represent TEXAS!
I will take the zl1 1le all day every day in it's class over any other competitor very well built car for the price
I want 1 so bad I have the 14 with 26000 on it but I'm planning to get this one too
Whipple supercharger also!
I have the same exact car. Not to many like it.
Congrarts, DONT SMASH IT.
Im between this, hellcat charger, trackhawk, m3 and or a rs5 😭
Do it
Dude looks Lowkey like Nate rider
GO 1LE
You see a nice car and it is but I don't see the Pontiac Trans-Am because GM sabotaged the brand so I see that Camaro is a donor to make the car I really want complete with T-tops and rear visibility without the need of reversing cameras and double the performance at least because too much Horsepower is just enough
Unfortunately my dream car (C8 Corvette 3LT or Z06) is WAAAAYYYYY!!!! Out my budget and there is nowhere for my 2 year old to sit 😂🤣
Ton of 1 LE cars out there, just trade up rather than build!!
I thought they made ZL1 versions of the 5th gen or did I misunderstand you?
They did
Correct. ‘17 was the first year of the 6th gen ZL1 🤙🏽
They do
@@LonestarHawaiian oh, so you ment the 1st 6th gen.
aloha from queen city
Convert if you gonna get it, do it justice
Lone star Hawaiian and no pidgin? 😞
no can brah, plenty think I lolo if talk pigin 🤙🏽
Keep banging gears
Losing.
😂😂😂
Definitely don't look Hawaiian
The v6 / 1ss is more the enthusiasts funbox the 2ss is for guys with $ and the zl1 is for the guys with $ and too lazy/old to work on the 1ss themselves 😂
Camaro the best in my book I bought new in 2016 ss loaded convertible color was called caught red handed just got picked up for speeding twice in 2 months and that was the end of the innocent I'm 72 can't afford paying the high price of insurance of a race car 🙃 with 525 horse power to the fear wheels I had turned up to leave 😅 my competitors in the dust and did the Good for 3½years of fun and now my daughter got it in the state of NEW YORK AND I'M FROM WISCONSIN AND SHE LOVES IT AND CALLS IT RED AND SHE ENJOYS EVERY MINUTE WITH IT GOING FAST IT WORKED OUT GREAT FOR HER 50TH BIRTHDAY GOD BLESS AMEN BE SAFE
