Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

Katech takes your stock standard General Motors machine and turns it into something you should be afraid to drive. Or at least, you should have some semblance of skills before taking to the wheel. That should be the case for anybody who buys a car like the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE, and even more so...

Hennessey Performance Engineering revealed the 1,000-horsepower Exorcist Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 last April, and since then the car's become an assailing answer to Dodge's Challenger Demon, even if it's not an OEM package. We know 959 of its 1,000 horsepower actually makes its way to the rear wheels...

For most people, anything north of 400 horsepower is quite intimidating. It's a massive amount of waiting energy that's set to be released at a moment's notice. Still, we live in a golden age of horsepower, which means there is a heck of a lot of vehicles you can choose from that offer far more...

Looking past the flashy concepts and pipedream sheet metal at the 2017 SEMA show, there are some tangible parts and components available for performance nuts today. Chevrolet, in particular, highlighted this Camaro SS Trans-Am racecar which runs production Camaro ZL1 1LE parts—and anyone can...

Looking for a car that combines ridiculous power and scalpel-like handling? Hennessey Performance of Sealy, Texas may have just what you want. The company has announced the new The Exorcist Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE. It made a formal debut on Tuesday at the 2017 SEMA show. The car is the follow-up...

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...

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...

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...

The most track capable of Chevrolet Camaros has a price tag. The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE will take its talents to the track for $69,995 with shipping, which marks a $7,500 premium over the regular Camaro ZL1. Chevrolet surprised with the Camaro ZL1 1LE, which takes the regular—and we...

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...

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. The chances are also good that you're willing to see how it does in stock trim after letting the car break in over the course of maybe 500 miles or so. This isn't...

The very first 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE has a home—and a familiar one at that. None other than Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports and the dealer group that bears his name, purchased the most track-capable Camaro to date. Of course, owning the first of anything normally doesn't...

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...

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...

Just before the running of the 2017 Daytona 500, Chevrolet has taken the wraps off the new 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE. What is it? In short, a ZL1 with enhanced aero and some cool suspension technology. As if the new Camaro ZL1 wasn't going to be track-ready enough, the 1LE version cranks things up a few...

We spied Chevrolet testing the 2017 Camaro ZL1 at the Nürburgring on multiple occasions during the car's gestation. It was only a matter of time until video surfaced of the car going for an all-out lap time at the Green Hell, and now Chevy has released it. This is the official run of the...

Dodge made a statement when it unleashed its Hellcats with 707 horsepower. Naturally, GM answered that call with the new 2017 Camaro ZL1, which packs 650 horsepower. Last week we ran a fun Twitter poll with the question in our headline. While 67 percent of the respondents said no, 33 percent of you...

When it comes to democratization of horsepower, you can’t beat a Detroit muscle car. The 707-hp 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat started the current trend with its base price of only $60k. Now the even more capable 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has picked up the baton with its starting price...

At its March reveal, the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was estimated to deliver 640 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque. Those numbers are already staggering for a production Camaro, but a leaked order guide for the muscle car icon’s 2017 model year has revealed the ZL1 will be getting an...

The sixth generation Chevrolet Camaro is a great leap forward for this sporty muscle car. It's now on the Alpha platform, it's dropped weight, and it's packing a Corvette heart under its hood. The standard Camaro SS is pretty hot, but the upcoming 2017 ZL1 is equipped with something a bit more...
