I would've pulled up to the Ferrari and introduced myself... and my passenger just so he knows that the Camaro that pulled ahead of him had a passenger. :D
You really think the camaro could keep up 😂😂😂 I’m an American car fan all day but that Ferrari driver doesn’t know how to drive that car. That Ferrari is in another league of performance.
Honestly, ITS REDONKULOUS !! I'm in awe. I daily this animal and it trips me out all the time. So balanced. You'd think with this kind of power it would be all over the place at the limit in the corners but its so well balanced at the limit. I know some people think its weak, but the balance it comes with on track is why I wont modify this car. It SO doesnt need it.
jupiter22177 Well I mean the new camaros use corvette engines now, so it's just a vette in disguise but slower, super cheap and less appealing. So really it ain't impressive.
dash captures of Vermont your right, but that was their very "first two cars", not present and using another car engine like camaro. Chevy was doing good having camaro where it was. As I see now, camaro is like an app. Corvette is the full version and camaro is quickly progressing to becoming the lite version. Yeah it would be cool to actually see a camaro get to that point without being a bodykit corvette. Sorry, just can't give it credit, if it's no where due, you know
Damn it wouldn't take much for this ZL1 to keep up with that 488 down the straightaways. Maybe a Kong performance milled blower, throttle body, some headers, and a tune. Good for an extra 100 horsepower. And still save $200,000😁
When you're driving at $300,000 Ferrari, there are several considerations that run thru your mind; #1-does the guy behind me know what hes doing? #2- Is that HIS car or a buddies. #3- How much would the repairs be if this guy crashes into me, etc. I drove a 488 GTB, AWESOME car- as is the ZL1....repair costs and depreciation? I can PROMISE you that was running thru the guy''s head all the time you were tailing him. Good inside passes tho, bro! Buck for buck, the ZL1 is perhaps the best deal on the planet- wise choice.
That guy got balls to bring his 300k Ferrari to a course with no run outs. Crops to him and he still pulls on the straights. Can’t blame him for driving slow on the corner. I would too if I had a Ferrari.
Dolby109 is that what i said? Heck my work truck cost more than that junk car. 2017 Raptor. Why don’t you head over to my RUclips channel watch a few videos “don’t worry you can dislike all of them” but at least you will get to see a faster more expensive car....
My point is that you shouldn't make baseless assumptions based on bad stereotypes. Otherwise someone might see you driving a Raptor and think you are compensating for a small penis. Not so great on the other side is it?
My thoughts as well for the first run - except he did it a subsequent time at open throttle suggesting he was probably telling the driver, you lost, move on. As a heavily modified Camaro owner, I have to believe a 300-400k car doesn’t want to play bait and switch with amateur drivers in our cars for an extended period of time.
Alchemist_ NickZak the 488 might be able to beat it in a straight but in track the camaro comes on top, if you want your evidence check the Nurbergring track times
Mythic Zach Well I mean the new camaros use corvette engines now, so it's just a vette in disguise but slower, super cheap and less appealing. So really it ain't impressive.
Great video. The ZL1 is a track monster. Glad your wife can go with you. If you were pushing really hard you would not be talking nearly as much though. You got more left with more focus
Fun. Friend of mine had a C7 Z06 we tracked last year. He made very small stickers of Porsche, Lambo, and Ferrari emblems. Every time we'd get them to buckle and point by, we'd put a sticker up under the left side fender emblem, fighter pilot style, to mark our kills. Ferraris and Lambo drivers always seemed to be pretty unskilled/or just very careful, were slow, and quick to point by. The 911 drivers though...they would fight forever. Nothing a Porsche fanatic hates more than being passed by a Chevy. Enjoy the car. It's a blast. Invest in some Hoosiers...I promise you will never regret it and will really get to feel the car can truly do.
don’t know if i saw anyone comment this yet, but the ferrari flashed his hazards at the end of the straight to signal that he “won” that drag race. it’s super common in the drag racing scene. some folk see it as super ghetto. lol
google local track days and you will see local groups as well as national groups like NASA ( national auto sport association) or SCCA . The SS is amazing! So well balanced. You dont need anything to start other than about $180 for the day, helmet (the group will have its requirements but they will not break the bank)$100, plus tire and pad wear. You get 4-5 20 min sessions and when you start you get a free instructor. They will not let you drive alone or take passengers until you move up. Ive done 30 track days in 4 years,#31 coming up!
The SS with the magnetic suspension option handles great. Check out Motor Trends video where they compare it against the M4 (Spoiler alert: The Camaro matches the M4 in every metric, but was easier to control and felt more connected). If you care a lot about handling get the ~$45k (before discounts) SS 1LE which is posting better lap times than supercars that are just one generation old. The SS 1LE even posted a better lap time than the current R8 V10+ on VIR.
Looks like you had fun, but I always like running the correct lines even when I am just stroking the car. I did like the SG Z06's lines consistently even though he was saving brake pads at the end of the drag strip by giving it up at the bridge. I always figured using the bridge as a braking marker would help my pads live 2 x as long as they would if I waited another 100 feet. But then I never ran the race car at Firebird Main, just the track car. Keep the shiny side up and enjoy.
Jamie Pomeroy ZL1 is more daily drivable, cheaper, and that 10 speed is a game changer. Z06 is amazing looking, lighter, but I can still keep them behind me with that 10 speed.
When the 488 flashed his hazards at you it indicated he bested you in the straight. Flashing of hazards is commonly used in the street racing culture to show who wins in a drag or rolling race on a highway/street to let observers from a distance know who won.
The hazards can be utilized under hard braking by Ferrari and not actually manually activated. However, he doesn’t a second time while under throttle and not braking which would suggest it was manually activated and him telling you, you lost - move on.
If there's one thing you never do you never take you wife to track day. She will sit there and complain, unless she actually likes driving fast, and being brave.
Looks like fun! She said ... "slow down!"? LOL... on the track?... hahaha. That was not aggressive driving at all. It looked like you were playing it safe with the wife in the car. I rode shotgun in an Advanced HPDE session at Road Atlanta and they go all out, bumper to bumper in the Southeast. I enjoyed the video bro, thanks for sharing it!
GM sure built a powerhouse with that LT4. And the ZL1 handles the corners like a true race car. The tires are especially sticky looking too, I wonder what tire it's running? Great video, it makes me proud to be an American!!
Lol nobody is trading THEIR Ferrari 488 for a ZR1 either. He should have slaughtered me in the technical infield. All he had was the straight.not bad wen my car weighed 539 more without my wife as a passenger 😘
DustinCorvetteZr1 Im just tired of RUclips online racers taking jabs when they know nothing about driving. Just easy to hide behind the keyboard. I took this super car down while fucking around and laughing with my wife . Check out my video from AutoClub . That’s hard driving
Mr. D The Gamer Na bro, that Ferrari 488 would beat the ZL1 on the straight away.the same way the ZL1 got walked down. The torque curve combined with over 600lbs weight difference, lower center of gravity is insane and ZL1 or ZL1 1LE don't have a chance..
Wolfyy There is no official run of the 488 by the company.. The 488 was run on a wet/cold morning by some journalists and the tyres were used too.. That number can drop significantly in optimal conditions.. Not to mention that Ferrari does not chase lap times like Chevy does, that's why you see a lot of aero going on on the Chevy and very less on the Ferrari..
The Ferrari driver wasn’t “doing the hazards”. 🙄 Many foreign market cars, under hard/emergency/threshold braking, trigger the hazards or cause the brake lights to flash. It’s a heads-up to people following that the car ahead is slowing suddenly. I love the bang for buck and performance of the Camaro, but the ignorance of how cars work got too annoying to continue watching. Have fun with the car, but please for the love of automotive enthusiasts everywhere, learn a little about how different cars behave before opening one’s mouth.
Nice driving, bro! I was actually looking at a 488 last week but maybe I'll just keep my ZL1 and try to get skills like you! ;) Edit: I upgraded to the ZL1 1LE! ;)
This was the best track video with actual reaction commentary I ever saw. Epically Amazing!!!!!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it
Reminds me of how I always beat the computer in Gran Turismo, going off track and slipping in between the next few cars lol
Was thinking the exact same thing! lol
Yeah, only reason hes passing the cars that they are is that they are cutting the track and have a car designed for racing
@@jonahshochat175 not the "only reason" but yes he is
Lmaoo i became a millionaire doing that
Ferraris are trash hahaha.
I love how she is enjoying it. Nothing like having a woman who loves speed like you do
Everyone handles High Stress Situations differently, hers is insane laughter and giggling.
"oh my fucking god there went my fucking pancreas"
Classic
Just the fact that the zl1 can keep up with a car that is nearly 4 times the price is just incredible to me
and is more reliable
I would've pulled up to the Ferrari and introduced myself... and my passenger just so he knows that the Camaro that pulled ahead of him had a passenger. :D
You really think the camaro could keep up 😂😂😂 I’m an American car fan all day but that Ferrari driver doesn’t know how to drive that car. That Ferrari is in another league of performance.
STILL
ZL1. $67.000
Ferrari. $ 385.000
Nuff said
Easily the best bang for your buck on the planet.

Thę Køenigşegg they only use the vette engine in the zl1. Its a “track camaro”. It’s not designed to impress you

I'd love to install a ProCharger and beef up the trans to handle the additional power.
You mean like $380.000 less
I haven’t watched this video is a long time and GAWD DAMN !! This is HYSTERICAL!! THANKS FOR WATCHING GUYS !!!
I see a yellow flag at 2:41 and another at 3:10, then you immediately pass three cars. How was this not a pass under yellow flag?
Chevy can't stop making the Camaro!
When you're driving at $300,000 Ferrari, there are several considerations that run thru your mind; #1-does the guy behind me know what hes doing? #2- Is that HIS car or a buddies. #3- How much would the repairs be if this guy crashes into me, etc. I drove a 488 GTB, AWESOME car- as is the ZL1....repair costs and depreciation?

Yeah, he wasn't having a problem with the Camaro, he just didn't want anything to happen to that car.
That guy got balls to bring his 300k Ferrari to a course with no run outs. Crops to him and he still pulls on the straights. Can’t blame him for driving slow on the corner. I would too if I had a Ferrari.
The Vette waited till the end to come alive in the corners! Great vid. Thanks Chevrolet.
Ferrari wasn’t doing the hazards. They are programmed to come by themselves under very heavy braking.
David Johnson
- so what I am hearing is that your car is slower and insulting him makes you feel better about your inadequacies.
Dolby109 is that what i said? Heck my work truck cost more than that junk car. 2017 Raptor. Why don’t you head over to my RUclips channel watch a few videos “don’t worry you can dislike all of them” but at least you will get to see a faster more expensive car....

Dolby109 didn’t you assume my car was slower and that i even had a car? We both make the same mistakes apparently.
Had to watch with no volume
enjoy being single for the rest of your life
What an annoying voice uhh?

Mmm you hate married couples huh ?
“All this money for a car and they can’t give you an o shit handle” 😂
Hasard mean the guy was on a hard breaking sequence... A lot of europeen car is equip with that. It is à security feature.
Eric Landry exactly, it’s a trackday and the guy in the Ferrari has nothing to prove even though the 488 will destroy him with the right driver.
My thoughts as well for the first run - except he did it a subsequent time at open throttle suggesting he was probably telling the driver, you lost, move on. As a heavily modified Camaro owner, I have to believe a 300-400k car doesn’t want to play bait and switch with amateur drivers in our cars for an extended period of time.
Alchemist_ NickZak the 488 might be able to beat it in a straight but in track the camaro comes on top, if you want your evidence check the Nurbergring track times
Mythic Zach depending on the driver and racecraft. The Ring Lap times are meaningless when you are racing wheel to wheel.
Mythic Zach Well I mean the new camaros use corvette engines now, so it's just a vette in disguise but slower, super cheap and less appealing. So really it ain't impressive.
I'm not paying for the Tires and Brakes lol
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!
That’s why we bought this car :D
😂😂😂
😂🏁🚀✌🏽
Are these G's you're pulling in the corners on stock tires?
you said it, the driver of the ferrari was slow not the car!
No one said the car was slow
Scoobs Shrooms you just said what he said
McPuff I’m just saying that because he’s responding to himself in the fact that no one talked about it being slow
Great video. The ZL1 is a track monster. Glad your wife can go with you. If you were pushing really hard you would not be talking nearly as much though. You got more left with more focus
She was hilarious
H1GHD3FF She had me laughing. 😂
My favorite line was “ there goes my F&$%ing pancreas”
Awesome the best track video I've ever seen that ZL1 is a monster!!!
Thanks Man! Means a lot!
when he hit 88 mph I thought some sh*t was supposed to happen
Great video and nice driving brother! What tires were you running here?
Bone stock good years
Great video. Ferrari wasn’t showing hazards. It was braking with track configuration.
what advanced group has a conga line like this?
Fun. Friend of mine had a C7 Z06 we tracked last year. He made very small stickers of Porsche, Lambo, and Ferrari emblems.

It's not just the car, it's also the driver.
That 488 driver was pissed that a Camaro was faster on the turns😂😂😂 excellent driving
It wasn't the car you passed it was the driver
"Idk he's scared." Golden hahahaha.
Ohhh man I love you guys commentary, the passenger was hilarious, OMG !! Man this video maid my day !!
Bro, your very cool comment just made my day. Thanks for watching.

I don't know how you made that turn at 16:02. I thought the water buckets were about to shower you there, LoL
Close as hell !
Wtf needs a Ferarri? Just get a cammy and mod it.
I think she swears more then I do hahahaha wow. Great video though. My foot was on and off the imaginary gas peddle with every streight away lol
This is definitely one of the more fun track day videos to watch, pops up a couple times a year, can't help but watch it, thanks for postin.
The Ferrari pulls away down the straightaway each time. But the ZR1 does a good job of keeping in touch.
Z06
Great video. Wife worried, slow down slow down. Hahaha
That was awesome! Do you still like the auto over the manual?
Absolutely . The 10 speed is lightning fast
The GTB DEFINITELY has more pull in the straights....damn the Ferrari is fast!!!!!
Yeah the zl1's Aero holds it back alot
Nice
15:20 Mustangs doing Mustang things 😅
She sounds satisfied, good job.
Commentary is awesome
Jamie Pomeroy thank you!! We were out to have fun
CAMARO ZL1 TRACK ENTHUSIAST glad you responded I’m looking at the z71 and z06 for a daily and just a time or two at the track thoughts?????
Jamie Pomeroy ZL1 is more daily drivable, cheaper, and that 10 speed is a game changer. Z06 is amazing looking, lighter, but I can still keep them behind me with that 10 speed.

Putting your hair's in lights while racing means that you want anybody that race is knows that on the street
What an awesome car.. !! Thanks for taking us on the mad spin around that track..awesome! Btw,. i paused it at 10:04 to say this..heh.
Thanks buddy! Will be doing a track day very soon so stay tuned. Heading to Vegas this time.
Very impressive
This is what trackdays are all about!!
Can't give this enough thumbs up !!!!
“I am gunna lose an organ on this track.” Lol
definitely not worth spending another $300 thousand!!
If there's one thing you never do you never take you wife to track day. She will sit there and complain, unless she actually likes driving fast, and being brave.
Dude great video, you need a rear view camera.
Excellent . . . Stay Frosty All .
what a great husband and wife moment, worth it!
Thank you. It was amazing just to be with here
ZR1 would have ran circles round you!😆😉
Last lap with the vette was dope!
Great video. The whole thing was entertaining.
This is why Enzo Ferrari hated his customers with a great intensity

Absolutely LOVE that you lapped the Mustang =) Nice job

The vette was out 😂
His wife is in a roller coaster 😂
Nice vid with wifey in the car. It's more fun when the spouse supports our "shenanigans". Mine probably would have been screaming her head off.
When you have track penalties off and off track repositioning disabled
Hope to do this with my wife one day even tho she's not into cars,sounds like your wife had fun tho..good stuff man,your wife is a good sport
GM sure built a powerhouse with that LT4. And the ZL1 handles the corners like a true race car. The tires are especially sticky looking too, I wonder what tire it's running? Great video, it makes me proud to be an American!!

Im sure embarrassed Ferrari owners around the world are rushing to there local Chevy dealer to trade in there Ferrari for a ZL1 LOL.

Only on your drams a Camaro can be faster than a Ferrari
If that camaro was a 1le it would have overtaken the 488 in a heartbeat.
Mr. D The Gamer Na bro, that Ferrari 488 would beat the ZL1 on the straight away.the same way the ZL1 got walked down. The torque curve combined with over 600lbs weight difference, lower center of gravity is insane and ZL1 or ZL1 1LE don't have a chance..
Why does the 1le have a faster nurburgring lap time then?
Cold_ Soup 3 secs faster then a normal zl1
The ZL1 1LE would easily beat the 488. I’ve seen it in person, on video, and numbers don’t lie.
