The overtly cartoonish, and yet most capable, American sports coupe available today, the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro has once again been subjected to the ZL1 treatment, with the Corvette's 6.2-liter LT4 doing duty under the long hood. The ZL1 1LE packs a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine with 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. The new gearbox has its own 1LE-specific calibration, and the electronic limited-slip differential and performance traction-management system also get special tuning to work with the self-shifter.
