No Z28?

Still kinda mad there's no option besides a manual for the ZL1 1LE.



That's because real sports cars should come with a MANual gear box.

Formula One has never used a manual. Myth busted.

Only if the "sport" is "grand touring" anymore, though. :icon23:
You just cannot beat the speed of a good dual clutch shift, or the ability to go all out with both hands on the wheel while shifting.

If you're out for a fun drive on the twisties, sure, but the ZL1 / 1LE package is marketed for the race track. Not that more than 10% of those will ever see a track.

Just sayin'... although we bought the manual 370Z. But it wasn't meant for tracking.

You are correct.Ferrari was the first to use a semi auto gearbox.It was in 1989.

BMW beats camaro v6 1LE. Motor trend chose the v6 cuz the true competitor, the v8 will destroy it. As the SS destroyed the M4.

Wow, how does that car rag expect anyone who considers themselves even the slightest of auto enthusiasts, take that seriously? What an embarrassment.
Its insulting.

UNKNOWN_370 03-16-2017 06:51 AM

Not a drop top man, but this camaro looks fairly good.

Motor Trend track tested the ZL1. It's a pretty AMAZING car. Camaro engineers taught vette engineers how to do more with less. I never seen so much competition in the same brand in my life.

It is the best thing for us as consumers. No more of watering down the cheaper car for brand hierarchy. Honestly I keep watching videos of the ZL1 and would not mind having one. The handling capabilities really just blew my mind like I knew it would be good but it's great.

njobe89 03-31-2017 08:24 AM

i want to see what the z28 will be, but i'm liking the zl1 a lot

DCNISMO 03-31-2017 09:20 AM

The Z28 will be overkill for the street and in all truth, for the street the ZL1 is the best choice. Even the last Z28 was so. I only saw one on the street ever. You can get really great deals on them now.

njobe89 03-31-2017 10:13 AM

you can find decently priced z28's but they aren't as advanced as what chevy is producing now.

There's a guy running around the neighborhood with one. It's gorgeous. It was black. I think I like the blue better.

I dig that blue. The ZL1 definitely looks mean and so much better for not having a full black hood. I hate that look on the 1LE vids I've watched. I hate to say it, as I think the car is still way too big, but I'm tempted to cross-shop this and the gt350 when I'm in the market 2-3 years from now. Hopefully, there will be an awesome Z35 to make the decision easy!

UNKNOWN_370 05-27-2017 05:46 PM

The camaro still feels fresh and new... yet a refresh is coming.... SOON!

Must be nice...
