Very nice. Thanks for posting this. Really enjoyed the review. I am sure there are going to be some people who will not agree with his conclusion in the end. Will wait for more people to watch before ruining the surprise.

It's gone now. Wonder why they took it down?

He typically uploads around 430 am. My guess is they forgot to set the proper upload time and fixed the problem. It will be back up tomorrow morning I bet.

Can't watch it while I'm at work anyway... so I'll wait till later or tomorrow. I generally like his reviews and look forward to seeing it.

Well... this sucks. Today a ****ing RAV4 review went up. Rage.

Wait... that wasn't the ZL1 1LE? Ah, that explains a few things...

For those that missed it, don't feel bad. IMO it wasn't all that great. 18 mins of interior footage of him driving it casually on a mountain road talking. Couple fly bys. Meh.

Interesting, was he driving a Impala or the 1LE?

That's the normal "One Take" style of his videos. Often his comments are meaningful, but the vocal audio is always too low.

Strange that it got taken down... anyways, was nothing special really as ninetres said.

Overall he liked the car, said it was fast with tons of grip and handles and mentioned the goodyear f1 3r's were really great on track (not so much in the rain)..
One thing i found interesting is he mentioned that at 75 mph in 6th gear, engine is at 3500 rpm, right in the heart of the torque curve so power is available literally in every gear effortlessly.

His gripes were it felt a little big/ tougher than gt350r to place on the track (probably something you get used to), the clutch engagement out of 1st gear takes some getting used to, and the typical camaro visibility.

I think he preferred the gt350r, just personal preference thing (high rev N/A). But he had no doubt that the zl1 1le would be faster around a track

The reason I believe he chose GT350R is because it sang to his soul. While ZL1 1LE was great, it did NOT sing to his soul.

Clutch engagement out of 1st gear? Could you expand on that IROC ?

He just mentioned that taking off from a stop, it was difficult to judge where the friction zone of the clutch is, relative to the pedal travel (where it engages and starts moving the car)... he mentioned that he was getting used to it as he drove the car more, wasn't a big deal in the end.
