2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Review

According to Chevy, 2024 will be the last model year for the Camaro. To celebrate its final year, a Collector's Edition package will be available on RS, SS and a limited number of ZL1 Camaros.

But the show was over when we found the 2017 sixth-gen Camaro ZL1 capable of a 198-mph top speed. With the end of its lineage looming, the latest and greatest sixth-generation ZL1 is now, and possibly forever, the fastest gas-powered production model Camaro in history.

The Chevrolet Camaro is officially dead. The final Camaro, a ZL1 1LE with a manual transmission, rolled of the assembly line in Lansing, Michigan earlier this week, Chevy confirmed to Motor1.

650 horsepower, track mode and full throttle in 8th gear equals an average speed of over 200 mph, in a Camaro.

The next Camaro is the 2017 Camaro ZL1. With a top speed of 198 mph and 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, it's no wonder why the ZL1 is one of the fastest Camaros in production on the market today. The horsepower on this bad boy is 650 followed by and 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine. Next on our list is the 2016 1SS Camaro.

Considering a down payment and trade-in total of $8,000 and that a new Camaro sits at a starting price of $25,000, we can use the above formula to produce the following estimates: 48-month loan — $431/month. 60-month loan — $353/month. 72-month loan — $301/month.

Corvette Stingray is the fastest by a small margin.

Limited to just 350 units made, the ZL1 Collector's Edition will incorporate a front splitter drawn from the 1LE package, while coupes will proudly sport the ZL1 package's rear spoiler. Additionally, ZL1 models will showcase the ZL1 1LE's front splitter and the ZL1 1LE's rear wing on their coupes.

How many miles per gallon does the 2024 ZL1 get? ›

With the automatic transmission, the ZL1 is rated at 13 mpg city and 21 highway. With the manual, the ZL1 returns an estimated 14 mpg city and 20 highway.

ZL1 was the engine code for the aluminum 427 used In Some of the 69 Copos and corvettes. It went on to be designated as Chevys top motor. But that got surpassed by the recent ZR1s. Being in high tech I like to think of it as Zero Latency.

The ZL-1 blocks intended for production cars had all the provisions drilled for a fuel pump and starter, and used the 3946053 and 3946052 casting numbers. It is estimated that only 300 of these blocks were cast for Chevrolet by the Winters Foundry from approximately mid-1968 through1974.

Power and Performance

The ZL1 is the most powerful model, with a 650-horsepower, supercharged V8 engine with 650 pound-feet of torque, with 0-60 times between 3.5 and 3.7 seconds, making it a favorite of adrenaline junkies.

Unlike the originals, this one was developed to perform on a road course as well as the dragstrip, but it really shone at the dragstrip. MotorTrend was able to lay down a 3.8-second 0-60 time and a 12.1-second e.t. at 117 mph. Fifth-gen ZL1 production totaled 14,213 from 2012-2015.
