  • 2018 Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels Edition

    Chevrolet is debuting two new Camaros ahead of the 2017 SEMA Show and there's good news for Hot Wheels and drag racing lovers. Meet the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels Edition and the 2018 COPO Camaro. Chevrolet bundled both announcements because the brand will offer the Hot Wheels Edition cues on the drag-spec COPO Camaro. But, for drivers looking for a streetable Camaro, they'll need to settle for the Hot Wheels Edition in 2LT or 2SS trimmings. The 2018 Camaro Hot Wheels Edition celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first set of Hot Wheels toys, which rolled out in 1968. Chevrolet...

  • 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE
    Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE is too dangerous to be sold in Europe

    The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE is the most extreme sixth-generation Camaro we've seen yet. But, it's a little too extreme for Europeans. During the most-recent episode of Motor Trend's "Ignition," we learn the 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE and all of its track prowess won't be sold on the old continent...

  • Camaro ZL1 and Ford GT on race track

    Let this sink in for a moment: Ford's bonkers GT supercar actually makes less horsepower than a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. It's true; the numbers don't lie. A Camaro ZL1 leaves the factory with 650 horsepower on tap from its 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine, while the Ford GT comes up a tad shy with 647 hp from its 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine. With professional drivers behind the wheel, the Ford GT would likely still leave the Camaro ZL1 in its dust, but video from casual racers shows the two can be pretty evenly matched. The Camaro ZL1's peak power is delivered at 6,400 rpm and the Ford...

    John Hennessey explains how to order an Exorcist Camaro ZL1

    The term "muscle car" doesn't begin to describe what the Chevrolet Exorcist Camaro ZL1 is capable of. With 1,000 horsepower—959 hp at the rear wheels—the Exorcist Camaro should even give the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon a run for its money. So, how can you buy one? John Hennessey of...

  • 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE on the Nürburgring
    2018 Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE laps the ‘Ring in 7:16.04

    The days of singling out American muscle cars as hopeless handlers are well and truly over. Case in point is the performance of the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE on what’s arguably the world’s toughest race track: the Nürburgring. The 650-horsepower Detroit special has lapped the...

  • Loud exhaust blows air bags on Camaro ZL1
    This Camaro ZL1's exhaust is so loud it blows the airbags at speed

    There are exhaust modifications, and then there are exhaust diverters. The latter is responsible for some pretty loud noises in this 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. In fact, it's so loud, it caused the side curtain airbags to deploy. Here's the backstory. YouTuber GuitarmageddonZL1 ordered a pretty...

  • 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE attempts lap record

    The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE has returned to the Nürburgring, and it's ready to take some names. Following the Camaro ZL1's stellar performance at The Green Hell, where the car clocked a 7.29.60 time, the Camaro ZL1 1LE with its added track capability is likely to only shave precious time off of the already quick lap. This video from YouTube channel StatesideSupercars shows the car in what's likely to be an official attempt on setting a Nürburgring lap time. Introduced at the 2017 Daytona 500, the Camaro ZL1 1LE adds more aggressive aerodynamics to the sixth-generation Camaro...

  • 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 180 MPH Run
    Watch a stock 2017 Chevy Camaro ZL1 run 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, then hit 180 mph

    It's safe to say the engineers on the Chevrolet Camaro program have successfully executed one beast of a car. If that wasn't already apparent from its on-paper specs, and the fact we even found it too fast to be fun in some cases, this 0-180 mph acceleration video should do the trick to convince...

    If you just bought a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, the chances are good that you're quite keen on taking it out to your local drag strip.

    Hennessey answers the Demon’s call with 1,000-hp The Exorcist Camaro ZL1

    Dodge has been anything but coy regarding the fact it has a pretty powerful Challenger coming in the form of the Demon. However, Hennessey Performance Engineering thinks it can beat back Mopar’s devilish muscle car. Meet Hennessey's The Exorcist. The Exorcist begins life as a normal 2017...

  • 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE
    First Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE heads to Barrett-Jackson auction

    You want one. I know you do. That's because I want one, and I don't even like the Camaro all that much. Things have changed with the new platform underpinning the car though, and it's finally become the performance machine from America that can do battle with competition and handle circuits from...

  • Chevrolet Camaro GT4.R

    Chevrolet's latest race car is about to hit the track. It's the Camaro GT4.R and it's a combination of a couple of our favorite Camaros, with some track prep by the Pratt & Miller race shop. The GT4.R starts out with the body from the newly announced ZL1 1LE, and all of the dive planes and big wings that entails. Under the hood, however, it gets the Camaro SS's naturally aspirated LT1 6.2-liter V-8, here putting out about 420 horsepower. I'm sure the race teams would love to run the ZL1's 650-horse LT4 supercharged V-8, but the rules of the various racing sanctioning bodies prohibit that...

  • 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, 2013 New York Auto Show
    Fret not Z/28 fans, your super Camaro is still coming

    About a year ago, we thought we spied Chevrolet putting a new Camaro Z/28 through the testing ringer. After all, a heavily camouflaged car was spotted turning laps at the Nürburgring. This Camaro could be seen hiding massive front dive planes, a fixed rear wing, a huge set of tires, and a...

    2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 first drive review: too fast to be fun

    What's the right amount of horsepower? After driving hundreds of different cars in my career, I'm very confident the answer isn't “As much as humanly possible,” otherwise we'd all be driving around in Top Fuel dragsters, and that'd be a real nightmare during rush hour. And we'd be deaf...

  • 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE
