The worst car experience ever

2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl S/C 6M)

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.
