Motortrend ZL1 Video Review finally up!!! - Page 4

Diggitydog · 02-20-2017, 06:11 PM

I signed up for the trial.

So impressed. It's beautiful to see a car actually live up to hype for once. This car is a halo beater. Beating cars way out of it's price range. Congratulations Chevrolet Camaro team! It's going to be great watching the competition heat up for this.

Now build my car and ship it please.

I also signed up for the free 30 day trial. The video just confirmed what I've always suspected -- there's one hell of car sitting in my garage irregardless of the transmission it has in it.

Worth subscribing and cancelling for free trial.

The head to head was fantastic. No wonder GM downplayed the M6, the difference is very minimal on track. The A10 is high strung constant shifts, making the supercharger whine more noticable while being extremly easy to drive, giving confidence to rookie or amatuer drivers, and allowing pro drivers to really push the edge. But the M6 will most likely pull slightly from a roll and get slightly better mpg, while giving the extra effort extra reward driving experience most love.

I wish I was rich enough to afford both. But I told my salesman A10 was my 1st choice which I might now try to switch after watching this video. Two very different personalities which the video shows us.

Very impressive. Congrat to the Camaro team and all who will own one of these beasts.

Awesome review... it sure is fun to watch Randy drive both transmissions. I suspect the A10 will actually benefit the lower torque N/A motors more so than the LT4, which has so much torque that the M6 probably pulls like a locomotive even with the M6's larger spread between gears. Watching the head to head video a couple of times, it actually looks like the A10 car was slightly ahead of the M6 car through the first half of the lap, and the cars look neck and neck heading into the final turn, where the M6 was able to carry a much higher speed through that corner than the A10 car (96mph lowest speed for the M6 car v. 90 mph lowest speed for the A10 car). The drop in speed around that corner is exactly what the MT article described - Randy said the A10 car couldn't hold speed through the final corner and attributed it to incorrect tire pressure, which is what led to the 1:25.87 lap after adjusting the pressure. Regardless of which transmission you choose, this is one hell of a car and we are all extremely lucky to be able to drive such an awesome machine!!

Just to make sure, it's not going to charge my card if I cancel before the 30 days is over?

6MT holding it down.

That was a fun watch, thanks.

I'm actually glad this gives the m6 guys something to hang their hat on after they see the tail lights.

Hmm. That Corvette Grand Sport is right in the middle there. The GS looks like its cooking too.
