  • This Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is so hardcore, it's banned in Europe and in parts of America. Rory takes one on a UK track to find out why, and to assess whether it's deserving of its fearsome reputation. Come listen to its awesome 6.2-litre supercharged V8 and make your own mind up!

On a twisty track the Tesla will lose to a stock Mustang GT. And finally, no one turns their head to watch a Tesla go by because no one heard it or even cares. But all the heads turn when my 2018 murdered out Mustang GT goes by literally screaming with its Corsa Extreme exhaust. That's the fun factor Tesla just doesn't have.

      Absolutly Agree in regards to enjoying these Magnificent Monsters while you can. Over here in Oz we had the Holden Commodore & HSV Power House local manufactured muscle cars running 6 or 6.2litre chev and supercharged Factory options. Also FORD Falcon. Most of the local car magazines who kept comparing these cars to BMW, MERCS AND High End performance cars and bagged the local product. Most cases the local Muscle gave these high end cars a run for their money at less than half their cost. With the bagging obviously sales fell and the cars went out of production. Now these Idiot Car Magazines are saying If only we still had the HOLDEN COMMODORE & FORD FALCON here in Oz. So I see the Chev Camaro getting bagged for visibility and sales dropping to the point of Extinction. Let me warn you guys, IT WILL BE A SAD DAY FOR ALL WHEN THEY DISAPPEAR. SO ENJOY BIG TIME WHAT YOU HAVE GUYS. CAMARO, MUSTANG & DODGE, Don't Rubbish any of them. Remember, next in line of sales will be bloody EV only available. THEN YOU CAN BE SAD.

      @tinyrodent2821 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The current trio are definitely on par with the greatest trio of Clarkson, Hammond, and May as far as humour goes.
      I found all of the hosts in between extremely boring for one reason. Top Gear is a show about cars, but from Clarkson's own definition, Top Gear is an entertainment show, it doesn't have to state fact or fiction, it's sole purpose is to create an entertaining show for the audience.
      The new trio lack significantly in car review content, primarily because they don't really know much about them. But neither did the classic trio at first. The worst eras consisted of F1 team owners, American hosts, and others who knew more about cars than comedy. Rory for me fits into this category. He's a great car show host, but not a great Top Gear host.

      Absolutely, I switched from a M3 to a 2012 SS2 1LE manual , for handling I lower it a little bit with Eibach prokit springs , Zl1 wheels, 305 rear 285 front Michelin Pilot 4S, and for a little bit more power a GM high performance exhaust and K&N Blackhawk cold air intake , Downloaded the Highperformance Ecu programming from Diablo Sport and went from 430 hp to 470 hp. I don´t miss the M3 anymore. My next upgrade will be a GM high performanceCNC ported Heads and L7 camshaft for another 50 hp.

    And another fun fact is that you can already buy a used ZL1 1LE, and even though it came out 3-4 years ago, it's still faster than a brand new GT500 around a track.
