2015 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 coupe review notes: Strong mechanicals, weak interior - Autoweek
ROAD TEST EDITOR JAKE LINGEMAN: So cheap. I’ve been driving a lot of expensive machinery lately, leading me to debate the merits of $100,000-$200,000 super- and sports cars , but getting back in this Camaro for a fourth or fifth time. Just less than 600 hp for just less than $60K -- are you kidding me. It can be driven all day long, too. I drove one of our racing guys home and even he remarked on how comfortable it is over our crumbling roads. Gas mileage isn’t great, but that mass is what helps it feel so smooth and planted on the road. Of course, if you want to lighten things up a bit, just smash the throttle and this car will slip-n-slide up into third gear. The brakes feel great for standard steelies. And being this cheap gets you stuff like peeling door sill stickers and panels that aren’t quite simpatico. This car in particular has been thrashed by journalists for a few thousand miles, so we’ll give it a little break. Power with the supercharger is overwhelming from upshift to upshift. The nose does get off the ground a bit, until your acceleration slows and the whole car planes out. I personally still like the Mustang’s “feel”. Source: autoweek.com
