Just picked up a ZL1 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

RealQuick · 07-20-2019, 11:14 AM

Got rid of my 2004 GTO and picked up the wife a toy that the whole family can enjoy. 2014 with 11k Miles, auto with paddle shift... ready for cruising.

Has a Rotofab CAI, but I think it is stock otherwise.

First impressions:
-Beautiful car, love the color combo
-Love the roll bar... really cleans up the look of a vert
-Climate Controls shit the bed already on the 2nd day of owning. It came back on hours later, but for the money, this shouldn’t happen.
-Feels a bit slower than I was expecting... but maybe I expected too much as it’s only 450-470rwhp@4400lbs.

This one will go nicely with my 2010 SS 416ci TT.

Welcome to the club. Get some long tubes and a tune. That'll wake her up.

ZMEnow · 07-20-2019, 03:56 PM

Wait till u drive on a 50 degree day.

Since it is the wife’s, she said don’t mod it... so noticeable stuff like LT’s is probably a no go for now... but 2.50 pulley should be unnoticed

I want to see that top down in February lol

RobZL1 · 07-21-2019, 09:52 AM

Congrats! Awesome looking car. I love the white and black contrast. I agree about the roll bar- makes the vert look amazing! I'd say add either a black spoiler or a black wicker bill, and it would be even sweeter looking.

IMO after a turbo car there isn't much that feels fast afterwords lol. First thing I noticed when I got mine was how well it handles. I take corners in this car a lot faster then I did my c6 and feel more comfortable doing it. Feels like it's on tracks!

Sweet ride.

HsvGts · 07-22-2019, 07:03 PM

Very nice! Just ordered a bar for mine, it definately improves the looks. Longtubes with the stock catback shouldn't be too bad, just be sure to get the mild/wild switch for when you drive it.

Congrats, car looks great
