Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 2023.

First tests of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE: an impressive oil car with overheating brakes.

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE is not just a very attractive and reliable American muscle car.

It is one of the most powerful American cars in this class, which is not devoid of fine-tuned handling, as demonstrated several times at the legendary Nurburgring.

American automobile publications have conducted test drives of this model on the race track, and then shared their impressions about it. So far, the car is not available in Russia.

As the reviewers of the publication Motortrend write, adaptive struts Multimatic DSSV work very hard on the muscle car: on decent potholes on Camaro ZL1 1LE not particularly ride, even joints asphalt are felt quite clearly.

Pillars have variable stiffness depending on the speed, but because they are mounted without silent blocks, the tires are the only rubber element between the asphalt and the chassis.

A similar approach is used in Formula 1 cars, the Aston Martin One-77, the Aston Martin Vulcan, and the Ford GT.

The front suspension can be adjusted at one’s discretion — 10 millimeters higher or lower, the rear stabilizer bar can be rigidly set in three different positions: for oversteer, neutral, or understeer.

The tires received praise. Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar R3 with the size 305/30/ZR19 in front and 325/30/ZR19 in rear is almost as good as the leader in the segment — Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2.

According to Motortrend, Michelin refused to develop tires for the Camaro ZL1 1LE, so Chevrolet was forced to turn to Goodyear.

On the track, the new Camaro ZL1 1LE is great. A true «driver’s car»: plenty of power, great handling, and excellent brakes.

Motortrend reviewers caught themselves thinking that driving this car, you want to clap your hands on the straights and yell «yes!» loudly in satisfaction.

As Caranddriver reviewers write, after five laps of the Canadian circuit, the Camaro ZL1 1LE’s brakes began to overheat.

The car has cast-iron brake discs — from the standard Camaro ZL1, changes only affected the ABS unit, which was flashed for other tires.

The car’s balance is neutral, with no imbalance when actively shifting down the six-speed manual.

On an exit from turns the oilcar can show absolutely different character: everything depends on how aggressively the driver will work with a gas pedal.

By the way, the compressor «eight» with the volume of 6,2 liters and efficiency of 650 horsepowers allows to control traction without problems.

But the hero of this digest is a bit rigid on public roads, and all because strut springs are three times more rigid than those of a standard ZL1.

The Camaro ZL1 1LE’s transmission is virtually the same as the Camaro ZL1’s, except the sixth gear is significantly shorter.

There are no questions as to the operation: the lever does not vibrate, the gears are engaged transparently.

The main trump card of the Camaro ZL1 1LE according to reviewers is price. For $71,295, there are no cars that can go so fast around a racetrack.

The 2023 Camaro ZL1 sports car could borrow an engine from the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.

Chevrolet is going to ship the flagship Camaro ZL1 for the 2023 model year.

The 2022 sports car was also upgraded, but quite modestly. Now the details of the upcoming modernization have become known.

The publication Motor Trend, citing insider information, writes that Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 2023 model year will borrow a separate Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.

Thus, according to a source at General Motors, the sixth generation of sports car in the last two model years 2023 and 2024 will be more powerful than it was before.

A more productive power plant will share the CT5-V Blackwing with the sports car. We are talking about the 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V8 motor.

Exactly it can be seen under the hood of the Camaro ZL1 of 2023, insiders claim.

Other possible borrowings include the MagneRide suspension and Brembo carbon-ceramic brake discs. The latter are optional on the CT5-V Blackwing.

The engine, which is expected to ZL1, produces 668 horsepower, so a small increase in power is expected.

The sports car’s native engine produces 650 hp. That’s where the details about the 2023 Camaro ZL1 end for now.

But we remember that recently spy shots of the novelty test prototype leaked into the web, which flaunted a rather massive rear wing, which looked larger than the actual ZL1.
