The worst car experience ever

Buyer beware! I bought a new camaro ZL1 earlier this year (March 2017). At a sticker price of almost $70k, it had every option checked off. The car drove great over the first month of ownership. It has been a train wreck ever since. With less than 1700 miles, the engine had to be replaced due to a valve head that broke off the stem in the engine. Since the replacement, I have been to the dealership at least 10 different times for various issues (coolant leaks, audio not coming on, alignment issues etc). Over the 9 months of ownership, it has been at the dealer over 60+ days. I have asked for a replacement and had to go so far as to file a BBB claim to get GM's attention. Still nothing. My first GM purchase and it will likely be my last if this situation is not resolved.

ZL1 is a true coupe

Any sports car has always tradeoffs. Small back seat is always the norn. Most sports cars or ample or slightly above average in cornering / straight line acceleration / not usually both. The ZL1 is an amazing powerhouse & can handle curves like a top European race car. This is a 6.2 liter, LT4 making 650 horsepower & 650 torque. The car is a blazingly fast. I have the 6 speed manual, some will opt for the 10 speed auto. The car is just a mechanically amazing to drive, it takes whatever you can dish out. The power levels on this car are way above 90% of anything else & can keep up if not surpass cars costing 3x the money. Chevy is amazing what they made with the final product of the ZL1. Truly an engeering marvel.

Chevy has a world class muscle car that is a kille

Not many sports do all things well. The Chevy Camaro ZL1 is the pinochle of muscle cars. Not only is it blindingly fast, but can take a corner with the best of them. Most sports cars are a trade off doing one thing well. This is a monster on the street & race track. Ripping through the 1/4 mile in low 11s, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better performance machine for 4x the price. Hands down not only the fastest but most composed car I’ve ever driven.

the reason why you should buy the camaro is because it is fast, the inside looks nice and the outside looks nice.

German car fanatic converted to Team USA!

I grew up in a family where we always had nice cars, the majority of them being German. Porsche, Audi, BMW, VW. I have owned MANY performance oriented cars but this is my first American sports car and I love it. I had planned to cross shop a BMW M2 Competition, but I didn’t even bother I liked it so much. What I like: Incredible performance for the money. A lot of my friends drive GT3’s and other nice expensive sports cars and I can hang with them for half the price. The engine is unreal. The styling does turn heads, at least it does in MN where these are not common. The handling is truly good, the brakes are awesome. The transmission (A10) works really well for a torque converter unit. It has plenty of creature comforts and I think I will be in love with this car for a LONG time. What I don’t like so much: Coming from an Audi with LED headlights, these xenon units are disappointing. They are fine but if you’ve had LED before you won’t like these. The Bose stereo is good, but not exceptional. The interior is good for what it is, but mine is only gently used and showing some wear too early and there are some hard scratchy surfaces in the cabin. One thing I REALLY wish this car had that a lot of other cars have is the ability to create a “custom” driving mode where you can select various driving characteristics from the driving modes. For example I could create my own mode which was medium stiff ride, loud exhaust, and track steering. I don’t want to have to set these all one by one, it would be nice to have my own preset. Overall, I love my ZL1!
