I ordered an Lt1 trim model car early 2022. Came in last summer. Really like the car and some of the minimalist ways about it. Put a Procharger on it and it scoots pretty good (10.70’s in good air) but I just can’t bring myself to tearing into the bottom end to replace pistons and rods. I’m about at the limit for the lt1 engine. E50 tune and 7psi and I want more. Yes some people have pushed them further but…. Zl1 engine shouldn’t need as much ethanol content and won’t need a stall converter. Procharger doesn’t 60ft very hard. 1.70 is my best. Thinking I can get the zl1 in the 9’s with bolt ons/ ported blower and some more boost. Anyways someone talk me out of it or in to it

Close to zero chance of getting a ZL1 if you are just ordering now.


Best bet is to do nation-wide search and find some on dealer lots or used with low miles.


Grand River is producing Cadillac/Camaro in a 80/20 split.

I talked to the manager today at the dealer. He said they have a customers being built now and that I could get the next zl1 allotment. There is a bunch in stock around here surprisingly. When I ordered mine there was literally no Camaros at all on dealership lots. I guess they are building more or ordered cars are dropping

Nationwide listing of all new Camaro ZL1s on cars.com.

Your best bet is to go on the Chevrolet website and do a search. I found non Chevrolet websites had lots of incorrect or deceptive advertising (you pick). As long as you’re not looking for a 1le you can find quite a few cars. As far as whether you should buy one or not, here’s my two cents……
I’ve gone down this rabbit hole so many times, and have literally squandered a lifesavings worth of cash. Buy the top dog, because it’ll never be fast enough and you’ll never get your money back. If you buy a rare animal, you can always put it back to stock and at some point it may not be as large of a hit. No one wants someone else’s modded car. Don’t worry most people here share the same sickness.

Get one now, will not regret it.

People have told me that here for years now, I was finally able to do it, and will never regret it

It’s just a question of $, isn’t it? If you can comfortably lose $ on your car existing car and mods, while still be able to buy a ZL1, and do the mods to it you want to do, why not?

If it’s a stretch financially and this is just kinda of a whim, without thinking through the medium term implication to finances, that’s another story altogether.

Of course I say get it but, it's a money decision you have to make. I can only say you won't be disappointed.

[LT4Greg]

Go for it is my advice. As others have said, you won’t have any regrets but ultimately it’s your decision to make.
