- The ZL1 is Chevrolet's answer for the Shelby GT500, Challenger Hellcat & Hellcat Redeye. For 2021 Chevy added this new color call Wild Cherry Tintcoat. On the exterior of the ZL1 1LE you will find unique functional aero, 19in forged wheels, massive brakes & GM Performance active exhaust. On the inside you are greeted to Recaro seats, Alcantara wrapped steering wheel/shift knob/shift boot, and a digital rear view mirror. Under the hood you will find a 6.2L supercharged V8 pumping out 650HP & mated to a Tremec 6-speed manual gearbox. Is the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE the BEST new muscle car to BUY?

You know Camaro is good when a car reviewer owns it after seeing and testing every new car
Seriously bro💪🏾💪🏾
And alao there re some chanells that say only the truth about the cars they test and they say that the 1le is amazing
Facts.
Spot on J
My friend owns a black one this car is a beast, cuts thru inner roads like nothing
"Money can't buy happiness"
Joe Raiti: "No, but it sure can buy smiles per gallon"
🤣
I like the way you put that Mark!
@@RaitisRides joe, you didn't mention the cost at the point of the video you usually do?
Or did I miss it?
@@lonewolf3070 nice 👍🏻
Money CAN'T buy happiness...., Bulllll $hitttttt!!!
This probably one of the most bad ass cars made in today’s time.
Because Chevy put it together cara so badass
@@dirtbikedion3233 Not as reliable as the GT 5.0 V8 Mustang though!
@@cowmoo007 there over rated everyone has one move on buddy
@@dirtbikedion3233 Negative Chevys are a piece of crap and have nothing on Ford's 5.0
@@dirtbikedion3233 True, however the 6.2 corvette engine is not the best either so move on as well buddy
You know Joe’s a real one when he zonks his own car where he does.
True
I gotta say Joe. What a huge backyard u have.
@@RaitisRides I love this car it's a beast from hell I have seen one the old ones they are the best
@@RaitisRides 😂😂😂
Joe's backyard has a pit lane
@@bearlogangaming this or a hellcat ?
@@HonorRollStudent51 This easily. The Redeye Charger is a beast tho.
I always like seeing the cars that reviewers choose to buy with their own money. Says a lot about a car when someone that has driven everything chooses it.
I own one. Best car I have ever owned. Amazing GM made this car. Nothing like it!👍
Fufuufufufut
Wished the visibility was much better, or else I’d get one!
@@tenzinwangjor5079 agreed
Screenshot of your name on title or its fake news
@@tenzinwangjor5079 it’s not even that bad. I own a 2017 Camaro and you get used to it. Once you adjust the mirrors you don’t have a hard time switching lanes.
I own a 2021 ZL1 1LE because of this channel. To make it even sweeter, I had a huge smile when he drove that black Hennessy ZL1. I immediately ordered one. Keep them coming!
Hi Edwin! I totally remember that review! That Exorcist was just out of control.
Have you run into any issues
I own a 2019 S 63 AMG because of this channel. I purchased the car a week after you reviewed it. I can't wait to get up in the morning to just joy ride. Thanks, man. You're the best.
@@kevincc13 a year and a half with it and zero issues. Not one.
How do you guys afford these cars you’re talking about owning and getting them like its nth fml 😩
It looks so aggressive! Love the design of this!
It seriously has to be one of the most aggressive look cars ever built.
@@RaitisRides really does this looks aggressive the demon looks angry and the gt500 looks mean
The Zl1 Looks like a ricer car with that ugly/big ass spoiler on the back and those wicker splits in the front.
I’d rather get a regular 2ss 1le since those look way nicer then the zl1, and then just add a Hennessy supercharger for the same price in total as the zl1.
750hp instead of 650 AND it doesn’t look like a goddamn ricer car for the same exact price as a stock Zl1. The zl1 is not worth it.
@@darkhaven9119 it’s a track car the wing and canards are functional so how is it a “ricer car”
@@wavymatt1523 I said it looks like one
You forget that the ZL1/1LE did a time of 7:16 at the Nurburgring....with a Manual + Back seats!
Just the sound alone makes my heart pitter patter. I also absolutely love the look of the ZL1 compared to the other Camaro models.
My favorite car of all time. I love my 2018 2SS Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, but I can't wait to own a ZL1 one day.
I absolutely love and admire your passion and I am honored to have been apart of your journey for the past couple of years ❤
what about shelby gt500
I love too see people enjoying there lives Give GOD the GLORY be safe my friend
One sweet ride Joe. Good for you and Lori!!!
Thanks for sharing this awesome experience Joe! 🍻
I'm new to the channel, I always thought you were one of those dealership guys who "reviews" cars you're trying to sell. But now I know you're the real deal, SUBSCRIBED!
I've been planning on buying a GT500 next year but the new Corvette and now this in particular will get a serious look thanks to Joe's review. I take his reviews to the bank! Been watching him for a year as I am finally in a position to buy a dream car! Thank you Joe! LOVE your channel, your content, and your awesome enthusiasm!
Haha good luck getting it bruh
Tru Dat! I Settled for a VERY well cared for 1998 C5 Corvette! Man I love it!
@@mattygunn3852 word love the c5 corvette congratulations!!
Thanks so much!
I'm currently having a marathon of Joe's RRides, i'm busy lately
Man, it looked like you were getting choked up a bit during the test drive, and I was right there with you. Thanks so much for sharing this with us Joe. Congrats on the sweet ride!
Oh this is your car? Congrats Joe, you deserve it for all the hard work bringing us so many quality reviews!
I’ve been waiting on this car thanks for the review your the best joe
Love it joe. I could sit and watch you drive this car for hours. Keep this camaro content coming!
I appreciate you letting me share the drive with you!
Great review as always Joe! My first really "cool" car was a 1984 Camaro Z28. I've had a few Camaro's over the years & will always love these beasts. I'd love to have one of these someday. Seeing your reaction hauling ass in this car is what driving is all about to me. I drive a Stinger GT1 today & when I have a chance to get on it a bit I always say " On Throttle!! Oh Yeah!!!" Lol. I'm sure I'm not the only one that does that too! Props to Lori for the great camera work too. You guys are the best in the biz as they say!
Love your channel! You're the most genuine guy on TH-cam. And you just happen to be driving my dream car. Keep up the great reviews!
Love the content Brother! Keep it up✌️🔥
Damn Joe, you've got my dream car my man!
I appreciate you letting me share it with you!
@@RaitisRides we need some centrifugal supercharger action
Loaf of bread😂😂. The structuring / delivery of these reviews... Its how you write an essay or project proposal. Great car Joe👌🏾
I don't think I've seen you more joyous and enthused ....WONDERFUL.
That’s the most fun I’ve seen you have in a long time
Always love Joe enthusiasm when he drives these “Super Cars”Awesome as always and this ZL1 is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👊🏽👍🏽
No getting around this is a super car. Over 600 horsepower RWD is definitely supercar.
Congratulations Raiti on your ride it's awesome !!
Great review Joe as always you have one hell of a nice car the sound of that V8 never gets old
How often do you go on throttle when you're not recording Joe?
Edit: honestly, it's great to see you enjoy this car so much, you deserve it!
Loved your review on the 21 elentra limited a while back, I just bought one!
Wow congratulations you guys !! Thanks Lori always on point with the camera 😊
Congrats on your new ride Joe. You’ll have a lot of fun. Love the Manual.
She’s hotter than a Dashboard Twinkie in the Clearwater sun ☀️
Sweet ride joe!!😉
Joe, that car looks like an absolute BEAST! Just noticed you're slowly but surely creeping up on a million Subs. Thank you for sharing this video
Big Joe!! Your Channel is growing and growing, you and Laurie put the work in , and it shows!
Congragulations on your ZL1- Bada$$ whip
Joe, I thought the Hellcat on throttle action from last week was the best I’ve seen but I stand corrected. That was so damn awesome I had to hold on to my sofa as you were tearing up the road. That is one sick car you have my friend. Thank you so much for these killer reviews and all the fun and entertainment they provide.
the lamborgini huracan was pretty good on throttle action too
@@fxbrianh I’ll have to search for that one thanks. I’m pretty new to his channel
Hellcat aint nothing vs Demon
And finally… here she is!
@@RaitisRides let’s be honest. We only came for “On Throttle” for this one!
Im glad to see it on the channel.... Congratulations on the purchase....Im happy for you bud
I've been watching your channel on and off for about two years now, and you helped me decide on my current car: the Mazda CX5 Touring. I loved it when I bought it, and eight months later, I'm loving it even more. My only regret is that I didn't get the turbo, which is why I watched your review of that model just before this one. When you were doing the road test and went "on throttle!", the sound of that engine is what led me to check and see if you reviewed cars like this Camaro. I'm so glad I did. I've now subscribed.
Thanks Jim! That really means so much! Congrats on your CX-5!
the GOAT is back at it! 😤✊🏾
THE REVIEW IVE BEEN WAITING FOR, thanks Joe 💪
Hey Joe! I hope it is worth the wait for you.
Nice review Joe. Enjoy your new ride!
Thank you for sharing. I understand and agree. I just bought my ZL1/1LE too and love it. I was mentally exhausted after driving it home from out of state on an 8 hr drive. Best 8 hr road trip of my life. love the car.
Congrats man absolutely beautiful
Thanks Jeremy I really appreciate that.
I appreciate you and Lori so much!!!
Thank you Malcolm! We really can not do it without you.
My 21 Zl1 1LE came with the red knee pads definitely a nice touch to the interior. Great video as always!
Joe again congrats for your zl1, i now have a v6 3tl rs 2021 use to have a 2.0T 2018 and when i watch your videos reviewing camaro no matter the engin it gives me the desire to go for a ride!!!!! Cheers my friend
That’s the most fun I’ve seen you pay it in a long time
raiti, i’ve been watching you for years now. not once have i ever seen a car make you scream hahahaha i’m sold
Awesome work Joe. Thank you from Aus. My ZL1 puts a smile on my face with every drive.
Love the review buddy, looks like you really enjoyed it
Looking great this really draws my attention!
I had a feeling George!😉👍🏻
@@RaitisRides yeah 🔥👌
Man, you sure enjoyed that 😸. I enjoyed you enjoying it and being so excited about it 😊. I’ve got an LS, and even though it’s bottom of the line, it handles like a dream, like I could never have imagined a car hugging curves so great, when I start to fishtail that positive traction (?) (I’m thinking it’s called something else though) pulls it right back inline. I’ve won every challenge on the streets of Atlanta I’ve provoked a Camaro owner that pulled up next to me to race, and they were all 1SS or 2SS and I beat the brakes off of them in a quarter mile. Of course they were all dang close once we hit the straightaway, like a split hair 😬. I wonder about that sometimes. When I get a new car I push it to its limits because I feel like I need to know how it will handle in any given situation,so maybe it’s because I pretty much know the limits of my car, and maybe because I have a manual tranny. Okay, I’m an adrenaline junkie and I’m getting a rush just talking about it. My very first car at age 17 was a 77 Trans Am, V8, 4 barrel carburetor, and when I felt the horses and the sheer power, I didn’t care much about where the breaks were 😹😹😹. Man, can I ask you a question? Eventually I’ll have myself in a Zl1, I’ll be 58 soon, but I just want to race. Not with the slicks with the funny looking wheels on the back, not around and around and around, but lots of sharp curves and straightaways. Do you know what kind of racing I could get into? And where I could find professional training? And am I too old to start racing? Anyway, thx for the video, it was fun watching.
That is so very awesome that I could share the ON THROTTLE with you. Go to the SCCA website and all the info on racing that you want is there.
@@RaitisRides awesome, thank you so much for taking the time to read and answer my questions 😸. I’m on my way to the SCCA website now 😊.
My abs hurt and I had a hard time breathing when you put the throttle down! Love the Camaro so much!
Sounds great. I wish I was there racing you in my old CTS-V... haha. Thanks for the video!
Looking good Joe! 😤😂
Nice little surprise! I’m thinking about trying up my 2SS 1LE for a ZL1 1le
Joe the review is awesome but I have one complaint. You said the trunk is small but I can fit two lawn chairs, my cleaning bag, helmet bag, and over night bag with the rear seats up. I put the rear seats down and can fit a 10’x10’ pop tent in as well.
Also for everyone saying the interior is small, I am 6’8” and I road course my Camaro!
@@jonathanpal3102 compared to the Mustang or Challenger it is the smallest. That is awesome you can fit everything in their!
I like how the regular ss 1le looks better then the zl1. I don’t like those wicker splits in the front and that thing on the hood. I also hate that big ass spoiler on the back it makes the zl1 look like a ricer car.
I prefer the satin black spoiler on the regular ss 1le and the cleaner look of the hood with the satin black wrap without those wicker splits sticking out of the grill.
The camaro isn’t mean to have a big ass spoiler it looks ridiculous. Other then that nice car though and obviously the performance is better. I’d rather just get a regular ss 1le and get a Hennessy supercharger so it gets 750 hp AND looks better though.
Just get a supercharger bro and it’ll have 100 plus more hp and still look better then the zl1. Hennessy has supercharger kits that give it anywhere from 750-1000 hp.
For the price of that supercharger you’d still save money over trading up and you would have a better looking car. The regular ss 1le looks better then the zl1. The zl1 looks like a ricer car with that ridiculous spoiler and those wicker splits.
Congratulations! Joe, beautiful color choice, love the wild cherry and matte black hood.😎
Camera tech is great. Well done.
This car looks sick especially the beautiful red color
answer - 🏁 Y E S 🏁 💥🏆💥
What an amazing vehicle!! Your description makes me almost feel my stomach jumping up to my throat! Just awesome!! 😊😊👍👍🎉
Hope I'm spelling it right: THANK YOU LORY, Joe may be the one behind the wheel but without you we wouldn't be able to see it in such a beautiful way, so again thank you!
We’re back, in my backyard. I love Joe
Thanks brother for letting me share it with you!
Damn Joe I want a Camaro now hahaha love your car!!
Very good video.
I have a 2020 SS1LE. I agree manual is the only way to go. 455hp is awesome can’t even imagine what 650hp is like. Your video makes me want to experience it for myself sometime.
I have a 16 2SS you’re making me want the ZLE even more 🤤
Hey Joe you forgot to mention the price tag and “let’s see what you get for the money” 😛
I’m gonna have to zonk the 112 miles on the odometer. Use your beast!
I like the way this guy describe the cars and with humor
Love the colour choice, Joe! Quicker doesn't necessarily mean better, and pretty much all of the high end pony cars are too quick for my liking, but I'd go for a ride, sure enough! For the most part, thankfully, the zonks are all superficial.
One helluva ride, Joe. Your enthusiasm for this one, is contagious! Thanks for all you do in bringing us this video, Lori! You always get great camera angles.
Clean🙌💯
The neighbors be like, oh no not the loud exhaust
Awesome ride, m8! Congrats! 👍
Great Video. Been waiting for this one!!
The burning question on everyone’s mind: When will Chevy bring back the Berlinetta??
Lol..! You just brought back a shit ton of memories by mentioning that name.
Lol! I had an 82 Berlinetta :D 350 swap.
Love that color 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Congrats man. She sounds so sweet on throttle. You got a rocket that rides on rails. Drive safe man and enjoy!
Zonking your own 1LE, that’s why I subscribe!!!! Great job Lori!!!
I will officially run for office soon and "100 MPH SPEED LIMIT" will be my official campaign slogan. I do think that I can build my campaign on that main idea alone, too many Americans want to enjoy higher speed limits on our new highways
Sadly, there are no new highways in my area. Just the same old crappy ones full of potholes.
So you want some mentally challenged idiots that drive at or below the limit and don't ever get outta the passing lane, to be driving at 100 or more mph? You want old junkers with semi-effective braking and steering clipping at 100mph?
You want old guys that have reflexes you can time with a sun dial.
Well, you get the idea...

Another great video!!!! Thank you
Imagine, a cop pulls you over and says, “You’re ridin’ the hell out that car ain’t ya? License and registration please…” Goes to his car, writes you a ticket and says, “Have a good day sir, check the back of your ticket for any additional information..” and an hour or so later, you read the ticket, and the ticket reads, “Let me take it for a drive, brother” with his name and phone number. 😂
That is a perfect scenario
@@RaitisRides but no seriously, can I, instead, take it for a drive 😂.
Got pulled over by Highway patrol in my Zl1 1LE doing 120, first ride I gave my Dad. Explained to the officer, said he understood, said nice car and left. Received no ticket and thankful I didn't go to jail.
@@wiltroutw that’s sick man, I’m sitting over here with a sxt challenger, sadly. But on my way to work, running late I decided to put it in sport mode and hit about 140-150. Guy pulled me over when I got to my job and said “man I been following you, well, trying to keep up for the longest. Is there ANY reason why you’re driving so fast man?” I told him straight up, I’m just trying to get to work lol. He then says, “Man you were doing 150 in a 60 and that’s on the feeder road, the slowest you went was 120 and that was in a 40, you have GOT to slow it down man! But nice car!” We laughed and I said alright officer then he proceeded to tell me I’ll just get a warning. Scariest day of my life so far, when I told my boss he just laughed and said, “You better be lucky you aren’t in jail man, that’s a felony”. Btw, plan on trading it in soon, I think I want the Camaro LT1 now!
@@kinfolk6766 definitely lucky, that would be scary! Glad it all worked out and hope you get that Camaro and enjoy it.

The 2022 Chevy Blazer is gonna have an (optional) black 2 tone roof and the 2022 Chevy Equinox is gonna have an RS trim level and a slight redesign.
