It's unbelievable.

In short - it takes the best bits of the gen 5 ZL1 and gen 5 Z/28 and blends them together in the tighter, lighter chassis of Gen SIX.

It looks mean, it sounds mean, it pulls like a freight train, and grips like an angry cat.

And the ride? It's not bad. I mean...it's bad. But in a good way....


I'm headed out the door at the moment, but I will write something up later for everyone. What an astounding car!!!

Nice, I'm excited for the write up. Is it at least livable as a daily driver??

I wouldn't recommend it for daily driving duty unless you're a crazy gearhead/track rat. Too many compromises, such as ride stiffness, low ride height, fuel economy, super power, crazy wide rubber, lots of power, big wing, moar powah!



But seriously - if truly being used as a daily driver...I'd recommend a standard ZL1 over this.

I'm really and excited for you guys...congrats!!

Also happy I decided to go with the A10...just went to run some errands & it's amazing how comfortable this car is in tour mode vs track & nice to have this option. With as little track time I expect to see, the regular Z was the much more logical choice.

But wow is that car ever a head turner!! You are gonna cause a wreck with the rubber neckers...I get lots of stares but feel the car can still fly under the radar as just another camaro to those not looking. There is no mistaking that beast cruising the local strip!!

Thank you sir. I try to do track days and auto crosses at least 10 times a year and I have a 15 mile round trip commute with no freeways, so still debating.

Just back at the hotel after picking up my ZL1 1LE from Tom Henry Chevrolet. All I've got is about 40 mins of drive time on it so far and I completely echo what Mr. Wyndham said above. I'll write up a review as well after I'm home but honestly it won't be fair to judge this car without track time, and for me that's coming as soon as I can get some break in miles done and change fluids. Then we will know just how many notches above it really is.
