  • Camaro ZL1 is fast, but is it agile? GeigerCars.de says yes!

    2018 GeigerCars.de Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LEIt might well sound unbelievable, but this pumped up Camaro ZL1 1LE is actually street legal. Something more: the tuning studio that showcases this particular tuning project claims that the ZL1 is actually capable of scoring high even on curvy terrain.

    GeigerCars.de offer a monstrous upgrade pack that grants the Camaro with such tweaks that would make it agile and sort of cornering-capable. Such goodies include a revised 6.2-liter LT4 V8 powertrain that delivers the massive 650hp and 864Nm of torque and a manual six-speed gearbox, especially tuned for this particular project. Also, the 1LE visually is astonishing. The exclusive body kit adds some muscles and definitely reshapes the spirit to a rather sporty one. There are neat matte black and carbon-fiber components, a new and large wing, also made of carbon and Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R tires that are not only eye-catchers, but also serve some real purpose: these bad boys contribute for better cornering and more confident road behavior.

    But let’s get back to the drivetrain, shall we? The massive 6.2-liter monster is tamed by premium Brembo brakes with 6-piston calipers on the front and 4-piston calipers on the rear side. In fact, this combination has managed to shave off a total of 16 seconds on “Nordschleife” racetrack, compared to the Mustang Shelby GT350 R.

    The interior has also undergone some stylistic and functional changes: the cabin is sporty-oriented, but this definitely doesn’t mean that it is ugly or Spartan in some kind. GeigerCars.de team has included two-zone automatic air conditioning, Bose premium audio system, heated Recaro sport seats and an exclusive steering wheel.
