New 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE Is The Most Track-Capable Camaro Ever

- in Cars

Chevrolet has established a new performance benchmark with the introduction of the 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE – the most track-capable Camaro ever.

According to the company, in preliminary testing, the new ZL1 1LE was 3 seconds faster than the standard ZL1 Coupe around General Motors’ 2.9-mile, 18-turn Milford Road Course test track. Three seconds might not sound a lot to the uninitiated, but’s it’s a huge improvement when we’re talking about track times.

The power behind the ZL1 1LE is the 650-horsepower, 650 ft.lb of torque supercharged LT4 engine backed by a six-speed manual transmission featuring Active Rev Match.
Brembo brakes, including red calipers with the 1LE logo, are also included. Additional standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control, Bose premium audio system, heated/ventilated front seats and heated steering wheel.

The Brutal ZL1 1LE features racing-derived, lightweight Multimatic DSSV® (Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve) dampers front and rear for exceptional wheel and vehicle control.

The front-end ride height is adjustable with the front dampers, which are used with all-new, adjustable camber plates.
The rear stabilizer bar also offers three-way adjustability. All of the components are designed for quick changes at the track for optimal performance and a quick return to street settings when the track day ends. This is the ultimate track-day Camaro.
