Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Review - Transformers film also catapulted the name of the Chevrolet Camaro. So the character Bumblebee, the yellow car looks so iconic and cool. Similarly, when we tried the latest generation Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 labeled this. There is a feeling of pounding adrenaline when sitting in semi-bucket seats leather and suede combination.
LSA-coded engine with a capacity of 6200 cc V8 supercharger plus directly barked once the ignition is turned. This machine is old machine aka congenital previous generation.
Chevrolet keep it as a blast of energy that has reached 580 hp at 6,000 rpm and 754 Nm of torque to the overflow. Very large indeed, and certainly will trigger your adrenaline.
The roar of the engine into the cabin is quite obvious when we were still considering various indicators on the dashboard. There is oil pressure indicator, oil temperature, voltage, and the supercharger boost.
The roar of the four exhaust holes do not lie to the response of the car when gas pedal. Moreover, this car presents five driving modes, called Performance Traction Management (PTM). Interestingly, the five driving modes are made to adjust the condition of the road. There is a wet condition (Mode 1), dry condition (Mode 2), Sport 1 (Mode 3), Sport 2 (Mode 4), and Race (Mode 5).
At first we chose cleaning option for the hot weather condition. In this position feels very well how the traction control help control the tremendous torque spikes. Goodyear Eagle F1 tires size 285 / 35ZR20 in front and 305 / 35ZR20 in the rear does look very big, but he managed to give traction to good asphalt.
Next we tried the highest mode Race. In this position, immediately turn off the traction control computer. Latitude driving became our wholly-owned, while the suspension becomes harder in this mode. Throughout your guts enough, please drain out energy.
A blast of power was felt in the body when the gas pedal is getting in. Steering increasingly severe as energy transfer via a 6-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheel that feels increasingly wild. Support paddle shift enough to help get maximum acceleration.
Chevrolet claims the rate of 0-100 km / h can be completed in just 3.9 seconds. As a reminder rate, relying car instrument cluster containing needles and large numbers in a simple box frame. However, the driver also reminded by the head-up display (HUD).
Outside of energy, the Camaro ZL1 2014 still minimal changes. There is no revolutionary breakthrough in the body. Only changes that narrowed headlamp follow curved hood increasingly angled. Make the look of the front look wider and shorter.
Similarly, the change in the stern of the rear lights. Despite lengthening effect, we feel this design is still less 'fierce' with the previous generation is more proportional. Fortunately diffuser made to fit and not excessive to accommodate four exhaust holes.
The last thing we think is strange is that this car still retains scheme very cramped backseat. The seat should have been left out because they damage the macho image of the muscle car as a whole.
