Description

Put simply, it’s a Camaro ZL1 that’s had even more anger injected into it, making the quick version of the humble American muscle car quicker still around a track.
How much quicker? Well, compared to the standard ZL1, the 1LE is three seconds faster around General Motors’ 2.9-mile, 18-turn Milford Road Course test track. So expect a reasonable chunk to be taken out the ZL1’s 7min 29.60sec Nürburgring time, too.
What kind of witchcraft has made this possible? Well, through a simple shopping list of track-worthy accoutrements but no more power. The same supercharged 6.2-litre ‘LT4’ engine as the ZL1 sits up front, producing 640bhp and 640lb ft of torque.
But as you can probably tell, there have been some quite hefty aero revisions. Primarily that huge carbonfibre wing on the rear deck as well as air deflectors and dive planes on the front fascia to stick the Camaro to the track.
Aero is only one way of improving its track nous; set-up is another. And Chevy’s spanner monkeys have been hard at work on the adjustable, race-derived suspension with trick dampers (like those found on the Colorado ZR2 and previous Camaro Z/28), while the front-end features springs with adjustable perches for changing ride height, and the ability to dial in some negative camber. Nerdy stuff. The springs are also stiffer, and the rear stabiliser bar is also adjustable if you fancy getting your fingers oily.
