Never had any problems with transmission in my zo6. 6’4 265 and fit comfortable.Removable Top,Everything isn’t about speed but I gap the zl1 everytime because of the weight. Zo6 corners so much better.Both Lt4 superchargers on each car aren’t efficient like the hellcat and gt500 cooling wise. Definitely better to upgrade to the Magnuson 2650.I see Camaros every where I hardly see corvettes at all where I’m from.Zo6 is the way to go in my opinion but Hey chevy all day enjoy the whip! ✊🏿
@@isiahgomez6860 thank you lol, 10 speed miles better, I have A10 ZL1 and drive C7 Z06 and the trans def holds it back, can still be fast asf but the trans not it
Im literally shopping online between a Grand sport C7 and ZL1 a couple hundred dollar difference between the two that Im looking at this video was everything fam!
Thankfully the shudder was 100% fixed with a fluid change due to incorrect fluid used by GM. That was a huge worry I had also. The plus side is you can’t go wrong with either option because both cars are great options.
LOVE my ZL1, just be real careful with it. My engine blew out at 4956 miles, bad rod bearings which apparently can be an issue with the LT4. Once you hit 1,500 miles I HIGHLY suggest going to get an oil change and demanding they inspect the oil pan and filter and ensure there are no excess metal shavings in it beyond what is expected during the break in period. Not kidding!!!
My motor blew up with my ZL1 just now literally 11,500 miles and I’m getting getting the z06 they claim, as it has slightly better internals than the Camaro
I have one coming in around the 29th . I got mine with the manual in Radiant Res Tintcoat . I looked at the new corvette and put a deposit but I’m not sure about the new DCT in it . I like the ZL1 with the 6 speed I think more that the corvette became it’s tried and true .. really proven transmission
Kind of funny because I chose my 2022 ZL1 over a 2022 C8 because the ZL1 had a manual and the C8 did not, not to mention the 6x waiting to get the C8 over the ZL1. I think I made the right choice, and once the Camaro ends production, it'll be even more apparent.
I’m on my 4th camaro, ‘18 SS currently. Want to try something new(c8) but I know I’ll miss my manual. Hopefully they do something for the last ‘24 model that’ll win me over, also heard the ‘24 zl1s will be limited
Well I have a 2010 grand sport I bought it a year ago with 8 thousand miles on it. But is comfortable as shit and 6,2 tall but also I love I love the Camaro and I’m thinking buying one soon.
I actually passed on the C7 back in 2012 because it was too cramped and I'm only a 6footer, so disappointing because my C6 fit perfectly, but now I've got a 6th gen ZL1 and couldn't be happier, best looking car in the world in my opinion, best performance bang for the buck also.
You should have bought the corvette zo6;in the manual. Even better, the 2019 grand sport. Not quite as fast as the zo6 but handles as well and is much more controlled While watching your vlog, I am so happy you love your Camero. I wish you many happy times in your beautiful baby..
At 6’5 in a 6 th gen Camaro zl1 your a big guy I had a ex guy friend in my ss that was 6’9 300 lbs passenger and me at 5’11 145 lbs my old friend didn’t have much leg room at all and I had custom cipher bucket seats that were manual only as rear seat delete/roll bar with being 5’11 in my ss and custom bucket seats that sit 2 inches lower than factory ss/zl1 I have a hate time drink over my 4 inch cowl carbon hood not a zl1 hood. When I get my zl1 and sit higher and see better over the steering wheel that the most comfortable ride ever.
Nice car but the first problem for me is the auto. It’s got to be a manual for me. Much better experience for me. there’s more than just going fast it’s the full experience of the driving and you can’t get that without the manual.
two different cars. throughout history corvettes or sports cars were not made for big people. they have done better over the years but get into most "sports cars" and its the same story. Heating issues can be fixed easily. ive had them both. im a corvette guy and camaro boys at gm best quit ripping off from the corvettes part bin . been doing it since the 80's. Looks, ive never heard vette called ugly and its slick. for me the camaro is boxy looking. they have added nice angles but its boxy to me. Congrats on your purchase.
You just inspired me to get the 2023 Camaro ZL1 1LE. That’ll keep in value over the long run than a regular ZL1 and comes stock with fatter tires. ZL1 1LE > C7 Z06 3LZ > ZL1
My legs go over the side bolsters so feels a bit uncomfortable. For my back, my arms do the same thing. My Camaro SS was more comfortable but I can still live with the seats on the Z.

I know why you took the Camaro over the Corvette, it's because you're just not as smart as you should be!!! I'm 6 feet 4 inches tall, and just slightly overweight.

You sound real butthurt about someone else’s factual experience. You sound like you have sex with your corvette and this video hurt your feelings. Watch how you talk
Well, I’m selling my ZL1 because motor kind of failed on me Launch control doesn’t work. There is something wrong with the module and the rack and pinion is all messed up so I’m selling mine and I’m getting a Corvette z06
chevy killed it with the design of the zl1, looks so good and the front end looks super mean, love it
I'm right there with you brother. I really wanted a C7, but in the end I bought a 2023 ZL1. All your reason hit home with me. thx.
6'4 280 I'm with you all the way, the performance per dollars its a steal also.
The reason I was going to choose the zl1 over z06 you never mentioned. Back seat. Ended up getting the z06 anyway. Both amazing cars

It’s been proven by lap times on nurgburgring that the 6th gen ZL1 is faster than the c7 Z06 in all ways
@@RoFazo97 lol who said anything about a c6? C7 ! A c7!
@@AdrenalineJunkie25 yes that’s what I meant c7 Z06 it was a typo but still look up the times bro ZL1 and ZL1 1LE are better track cars that C7 Z06
Lol man the automatic C7’s are dog shit. In 5th gear that’s it, falls on its face
@@isiahgomez6860 thank you lol, 10 speed miles better, I have A10 ZL1 and drive C7 Z06 and the trans def holds it back, can still be fast asf but the trans not it

I ve had many Vettes including a 2011 Zr1 and the 2022 Zl1 Camaro is by far my favorite American car i ve ever owned.
Great choice my boy, welcome to the ZL1 club!

I just got my camaro zl1 2023 manual love ❤️
Bro I just bought the same color and everything. What a beast. Take good care of tha jewel. Bought mine with 2 miles on it
Congrats Nigel! Been watching your vids before I got my SS, will follow in your steps soon.

Thats the reason you never should hit it hard with an cold engine ;)
I guess most of these issues are driving style related.
@@User77989so this happends almost after the break in period?
@@thebossnocompetition8757 no it has 11500 miles on it not anywhere near breaking period

Love this spec, shadow metallic definitely my favorite color and the sunroof >
Z06’s tend to be more pricey then the ZL1’s also

I love you videos because you keep it real 👍
But an inner chiller to solve heat issues

Both. ZL1 for daily and family, Z06 7M for fun.
Lol never imagined a ZL1 for family
@@NigelDRealest only if they're small kids 🤣
Lit I have a 10 speed ss but want a 6 speed zl1 as my ss has no back seat lol race car roll cage etc

Beutiful man, I have been thinking of selling my camaro SS for zl1, but I already got H/C in my SS, so it has been very difficult for me to decide 😔
What is H/C?
@🟢 Nigel D Realest Head & Cam setup. This is an abbreviation we use for modifications
Ah thanks.
Good reasons, and awesome car!
She's just as BEAUTIFUL as the car. It'll be a hard choice. 😆..but I think the car has the edge
Camaro is just different 😤
What a beautiful car.
How much did you pay out the door? If you don’t mind me asking
im here with a 1k f1x A8 2017 camaro ss. i can tell you, A10 is the wayyyyyyyyyyy.
Do you fit in the Recaro seats ok? Do the side bolsters cut into your legs and back?
My legs go over the side bolsters so feels a bit uncomfortable. For my back, my arms do the same thing. My Camaro SS was more comfortable but I can still live with the seats on the Z.
@@NigelDRealest yea i picked up my Zl1 yesterday i agree the 2 ss seats are more comfortable I wonder if they are swappable.
Dude, I really want one.
so the ZL1 looks better then the c7 z06?
Hey bro is you still with her?
Is there anything better when you wake up in the morning and see that car
nothing better 🙂
Shadow Gray Metallic?
Yup
Zl1 is dope fr
How tall are you? I like the lt1 and I figure that’s the same as the zl1 size wise. Im 6’3 for reference.
I mentioned that in the video bro
my bad thought I mentioned it. I'm 6'5
Camaro just looks better
Brother Nigel, what made you get the 10-speed over the manual?
Faster and more bearable for a daily

Still enjoying it? Have you ever driven the manual?
he wrecked it..the car is totaled
Cool Darkhorse ...
Badass whip
I know why you took the Camaro over the Corvette, it's because you're just not as smart as you should be!!!
I'm 6 feet 4 inches tall, and just slightly overweight.

I chose the z06 over the zl1 because you can actually see out of it
You can see out the ZL1. The blind spot complaints are overblown.
