The SS is fast, and the Zl1 is faster. Owning one for most means putting our foot into it now and then. I don't believe, not for a minute, that all Camaro owners save it for the track. But we can try to minimize the risks. For the most part, if I get on mine, I make sure I'm on an open road, with no one around. That, of course, doesn't guarantee that I won't blow a tire and hit a tree or power line. I keep mine to short bursts, as I realize the possible dangers. Anything could happen, but I won't lie and say that I always keep it under 55. I don't drink or text when driving, and keep both hands on that wheel, but I'm aware that the danger goes up when I kick it in. We don't know what happened here, but yes, sadly, speed did play a part. We have all done it. Just be careful in populated areas and save it for the wide open highway.
