Fastest Camaro is not the ZL1 1LE, It’s the ZL1 without the 1LE option

I found this on MotorTrend:

Camaro with the Highest Top Speed
When deciding which Camaro is the fastest, start at the end of the alphabet and work backward. The two Camaros with the highest top speed we have ever seen begin with a Z. When the first production ZL1 stormed back onto the scene in 2012 with a 184 mph top speed resulting from its 580-hp supercharged LSA V-8, it took the title of "fastest Camaro" and kept it for half a decade. 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 aero package on the 1LE slows the car down but is the obvious advantage on the track. Even so, when looking at the Nurburgring videos of the ZL1 and the ZL1-1LE, on the straight away, the ZL1 does hit a faster top speed
