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…

Very.
Underrated comment
7:25
I get that it’s functional, but the front bumper just looks like somebody messed around with the autosculpt feature in an old Need For Speed game.
You’re serious?
I quite like it actually.
I see that
7:15
7:15ish
7:10 I have hope that it may better the AMG GTR
Though i would very much like that, i doubt it. Maybe the C7 ZR1 but not this. I am willing to bet its going to be faster that the BMW M4 GTS though.
Nurburgring lap times:
THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER
Use a stronger engine
Put boost in it
Have a breakdown
On track
In the car
Water is in the eye
Baby in the car
In the track
In pain
Bye bye engine
Guess how little I care I’m sorry but this whole fastest lap time around the ring is just basically what manufacturer can spend the most money on a car and I’m sorry but I just don’t care when I am buying a Cebu couldn’t care less how fast it goes round a track.
Same brother. The lap time publicity stunt put me off both the AMG GTR and the Performante, until I read reviews of them
As a Nürburgring fanboy I still agree
While i do agree with you, Im quite excited for this one cause i really like camaros!
Shut up man Sheryl from accounting is up next to limbo and that slight view of her bra is enough for my corporate spank bank. (rate my attempt at being Mr regular) add on
7:25 maybe
Why does everyone mess this up? 1LE is not GT350r’s rival
That’s like comparing a base WRX to an Evo
Why?
