Any Guesses On How Quick The Camaro ZL1 1LE Will Be Round The 'Ring?
On the same day that we brought you news that the new Ford Mustang might be more powerful than the Chevrolet Camaro, here’s the harder, fiercer Camaro to, er, beat the Mustang.
This is the Camaro ZL1 1LE, which sounds like a made up British postcode. But it’s actually the track-focused version of the already potent ZL1 (so Chevrolet’s answer to the Mustang GT350R), and it’s been spotted testing at the Nurburgring recently.
Chevrolet has dropped this teaser video on its Facebook page, with the very vague description “Challenge Accepted. More coming soon.” We don’t like that it’s displayed vertically, nor that in the entire duration of the video there are only two shots of the car, but it’s making us excited nonetheless.
So how fast will the ZL1 1LE blitz round the infamous German racetrack? Faster than seven minutes 29 seconds, that’s for sure. That’s the impressive benchmark set by the ‘standard’ ZL1, and with multiple aerodynamic additions and various other upgrades provided by the 1LE package, we’re expecting something quite special.
Post your best guess below…

I reckon around the 7.15 mark
7.09

I guessing around 7:07. With around 650bhp and right suspension, it will monster the AMG GT-R.

If the ZL1 1LE is the answer to the GT350R, and the regular ZL1 is faster than the GT350R, it seems as if Ford is a bit behind more than usual
Wasn’t the gt350 the attempted response at the z28?

I’m going to say ~7:09-7:10.
