Best all around "usable" sports car.

You won't get your whole stick figure family in it. If your buying for the 2+ "2" , you might as well but a vette. That said, it was a compromise with my wife. The vette didn't have a back seat and cost $20k more. Always wanted a legit sports car. The likes of a Ferrari or minimum a top line vette. The Camaro didn't disappoint. Having driven a MPC12C and a 458 Italia, this thing performs in the same category. Does all the same things, but in a different, American, loud way. Maybe doesn't turn as many heads, but I do not feel I'm depreciating value by actually driving it. There's reasons the aforementioned cars are usually low miles. Maintenance is not Chevy prices. I will say the visibility is an issue at first, but you get used to it. I can get 2 golf bags in the trunk, and I'm always DD to the course because I get to drive the ZL1. When you combine all this, it should cost double. It's scary fast, super drivable. it takes restraint or to drive 140+ everywhere. There's days that I'm actually excited for a commute. It won't suite everyone for a daily driver, especially if your in the snow belt. That is why I also have a truck. But the truck takes second place every time weather permits. Even if I have to cram the teenager in the back. Besides sex appeal, I'd out this car against any Italian coating 3X+. If we could do a blind "taste" test drive, USA wins!

Phenomenal Value

I have owned mustangs, motorcycles, momentum cars (FRS), and a C7 Corvette (Grand Sport) and this car is by far the best of all those. It has more power than any of them, sounds better, handles better, and is a way better daily driver than any of them. Near super car performance is not an exaggeration as the capabilities of this car are well beyond most drivers. Looks are subjective but I get lots of compliments, and perhaps even better is that car people know what it is while non car folks dismiss it as just a Camaro which makes it kind of a sleeper. I love the front end of the car which is menacing but understated. I have done several hundred miles at once in it and it is very comfortable but just change the driving mode and it becomes a stiff well handling corner carver that is as good or better than much smaller momentum cars. My mustangs (last was a modded GT, PP1) always felt like it was going to go out of control (mods helped a little) when pushed but the Camaro handles just exactly like my Corvette - very stable and predictable. The Corvette was great but the lower ride height had it scraping on everything and there was a lot less room inside - I am 6’3 220 lbs. I find the Recaros more comfortable that the Corvette seats, especially on long trips. The visibility out of the ZL1 is about the same as it was out of the Corvette - it’s not great but you get used to it and it is not a factor once you adjust to it. There is hardly any storage but the truck is big enough. The motor is beyond comparison - if you baby it on a trip you can get 29mpg average but if you buy your foot in it at all that number drops considerably. The power is very predictable and linear throughout the rev range with no big hits but just face flattening acceleration. It feels a lot like the LT1 just with more power everywhere. The car is sensitive to tire changes - I have PS4 on it now for better mileage but will likely go back to a stickler tire when these are done as the current will spin easily under power and feels a little less planted with these tires. I have to 10 speed auto and I it is outstanding - always in the right gear or you can do it yourself with very quick shifts. It is on par with a dual clutch. This car is so underrated - it easily has performance on par with cars costing twice as much while also being roomy and comfortable when desired. This is the best all around performance car out there today.
