I disagree. I would say both are great on a road course. The ZL1s power will get a beginner in trouble sooner. But if you want to run a road course and the drag strip, then the ZL1 is best choice if you have the $$.

The ZL1 is easy to drive and the traction control keeps everyting in check on the track.

Coming from the Corvette platform to a Camaro is only going to disappoint if you're looking for the same experience. Can't overcome power/weight without a lot of money and if you want to stay carb compliant, forget about it. As far as wanting a back seat, I hope it is not for seating purposes.
It would be very hard to leave the 1LE "far" behind in the turns, unless your friends are in supercars... add some big brakes and stainless lines and you can hold your speed into the turns much longer than most. Do some suspension upgrades, coil overs and busing. You could also focus on dropping some weight... if you have the money to spend you can make some big gains in this area.... think CF. The goal of the engineers (got it from them 1st hand) in building the 1LE was to have a Camaro that felt and drove lighter, mission accomplished. The SS with 1LE is the best balanced fifth gen... but a corvette it is not. Good luck! |

Both are great cars, all depends on the $. And also if you want an auto you can get it on the ZL1. If $ is not a limitation and you want the best, then by all means wait for the Z28.

I like my 1LE and for tight running and back road hammering, it's the trick ticket in my book. I'm just a sucker for NA over charged. The ZL1 would be my next choice though especially once the road opens up a bit.
Keeping things CARB CA legal is the hard part while squeezing NA horsepower out of it. Sticking with OEM cats sucks. My 1LE pulled 410 rwhp tuned at New Era using JBA shorties, JBA HF cats, VMAX TB, RotoFab CAI with the NPP exhaust. Yep, warranty is out the window, more mods are coming over the winter, still keeping it NA and I'm looking to be 500+ rwhp for spring time....... Because I can Ask 100 people and you'll get 100 different answers.

Actually shouldn't that be "because I cam"?

My friends are in C6 Z06s. The Camaro 1LE is an excellent package. I just never thought I would see the day that 426 flywheel horsepower wasn't enough. |

The Camaro has a back seat but there is zero leg room... check it out before you pull the trigger.

I've had 2 full grown adults in mine. I'm 6'2" and still had plenty room to drive. We went 35 miles with no issue. My son always sits in the back. We basically stopped using the SUV.
