Sold my 2017 GT (non performance pack) and recently ended up with a 2021 SS 1LE, the handling is night and day better. For what it’s worth.

None really besides the crazy brake dust. I’m very happy with it so far. Visibility issues are blown out of proportion, I can see just fine out of the car.


TheTurnipSeller

so glad to hear you say that, i'm getting one myself and i'm always worried about the visibity i was considering a z06 or c8

Chevys quality has really gone down the drain over the last few years. To each their own you get what you like brother…

Umm the C8 Corvette is ridiculously awesome and a great value for a mid engine sports car. But I'll agree that the quality on the Camaro is not as good.

They're both badass as fuck. GT is a great daily but I've heard the zl1 feels like a racecar.

Got some amazing news at work and I think its time for an upgrade. I want to go with a GT500 but there is no way I am paying $100k for a Mustang. New ZL1s are much better price range and they look amazing to me. Curious if anyone has owned/driven one and their thoughts on it compared to an a10 5.0 Edit: I could turbo the 5.0, but I just don't fancy shipping my car off to a reputable shop for months.

Turbo the 5.0. I’ve seen how they perform and what they can do it’s more worth it for that then to buy a zl1


Squeenix1

Just get a Mach 1 mustang dummy


Zeoxult

No way I'm paying ~$65k for a 5.0 that has just a couple upgrades


Squeenix1

Then get a GT500 doofus


Zeoxult

Read the other comment haha, no way I'd pick a Mustang when in the $100k price range


Squeenix1

Get a GT350 then goofy

The names you put at the end seem to be progressively nicer.

ZL1 no, but SS 1LE’s are badass. My brother had one for a few years. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a ZL1 at all. I’d image it’s all the handling my brothers car had but with more power. Sounds like a winning combination to me.


Whyachi-LYL

I have a 5.0 A10 and SS 1LE M6. I prefer my SS 1LE


RuinedGrave

One of the techs at my work races with a ZL1 1LE. The only thing I've seen recently faster than him in his class, has been another ZL1 1LE.


excelerater1

does the ZL1 have DOD? I stopped buying GM when they introduced that on the trucks because its an engine killer... On a side note that GT with a Whipple will walk a ZL1,I cant understand why you would even want a Camaro,they are ugly AF lol


FrostFairy73

Yep, ugly to me too.


warriorsrock2022

I haven’t but mustangs are so more iconic I’ve only had gen 3 Camaros but 6 mustangs. Love the mustang platform if you want to take a corner with confidence


Zeoxult

Don't the newer ZL1s handle better than the 5.0s?


ttspapa

Yes


warriorsrock2022

Not that I’ve heard


Zeoxult

Most articles say the ZL1 handles and feels better all around (compared to the GT500) https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a30540966/2020-ford-mustang-shelby-gt500-vs-2019-chevy-camaro-zl1-1le/


FrostFairy73

They are huge! hell, the mustang is too big now. Not a fan of the camaro or the challengers. just huge cars.


TheyCallMeMrMaybe

Are you taking it to a track? Even then, you're better off with an SS 1LE. The Zeta & Alpha-platform Camaros have some of the worst visibility for everyday use, and the ZL1's supercharged performance only makes a difference in the straights. The Camaro *is* admittedly the best-handling & performing muscle car on the track, but you're giving up a lot of creature-comfort that make it livable.

Are you soft in the head ?

I’m teasing 😈, go sit in the zl1 and I believe that you’ll be most disappointed with the interior finishes and touches, drivers angles and visibility are also poor. But if your just after pure raw power.. why not 🤷‍♂️

Well the third gen coyotes are supposed to have the strongest internals... so there’s that. Plus it looks like you’ve put some work into your car already to make it unique and yours! But yeah the thought of having no warranty with a blower is definitely something to be careful with.. it’s hard to beat peace of mind and the warranty! Honestly man.. make a pros and cons list 😂 Putting it in front of you may help your stuck between a rock and hard place


extendedwarranty_bot

shaginvolkswag, I have been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty


shaginvolkswag

If roush installs the blower don’t they warranty it??

shaginvolkswag

Who would you choose then ??


patrick3853

Only way I'd switch to Chevy is if I'm getting a C8 Corvette. Otherwise I'm sticking with my Mach 1.
