2022 BIG Muscle Get's the Business

[TTQ B4U]

So last week's Saturday Ceramic was for my friend Rob who brought me his last Camaro in Sept of 2021. It was a beautiful and super clean 2017 SS.

Well, 2022 was his year for an upgrade and now he's in this BEAST of a car. A 2022 Camaro ZL1 in Summit White over black. With only 1,500 miles on it, he wanted the full ceramic treatment with one of the my favorite GYEON Coatings

Complete with Wheel and glass coatings, this beauty is sure to look great where ever he takes it. Less, of course, the black soot and rubber it will likely have all over the backside given his driving style.

Polished with my Flex 3401 using GYEON PRIMER and coating it with GYEON's Q2 MOHS EVO Ceramic and Q2 RIM on the wheels.

Hope that hood scoop wasn’t matte before you got a hold of it because it shines like the sun now. . Great job! Nice car.

Ive always been a Camaro fan. Not sure it can be called "BIG" cause its HP is only on par with what the 3rd "biggest muscle" from Dodge? lol. Its odd to even talk about 650hp like its nothing but facts are facts.

With the car being 4-500 pounds heavier those boats need the extra HP.

Rule of thumb is about 100lbs needs 10 more HP. So if that is true the Camaro will almost keep up with the 3 Hellcat widebodies with 717hp and not even close to the Super Stocks 807 Hp. But yeah W/E

Beautiful Car! Love the ZL1 in White.

ZL1 > Hell Cat

ESPECIALLY if you're going to mod it

Sweet ride and great work!

ZL is an all around better car and performer too. I've had track days in a Hellcat as I looked at them and even just driving them side by side, the Camaro comes across as a better car. Quicker on the streets too. The 10spd Auto vs 8 Speed Auto that is. I'd buy the manual though as it's the best fun of performance vs engagement for sure.

I don’t doubt that and I don’t do track days though I wish there was a road coarse near me as that is what I’d be interested in. But to me, both cars are unnecessarily big. It’s not like the Camaro has a decent rear seat for the size of the car, it is big just to be big and evoke the muscle car era. As a sports car it needs to go on a diet. But that is also why they have so many different models and types of cars on the road, I am obviously not the target for those cars.

If the overall dimensions of the car are just two big I get that but a diet it does not need performance wise.

Nurburgring is the track in which all performance cars are held to the highest standard in performance.

The zL1 1LE did Nurburgring in 7:16. That destroys anything from Japan GTR and NSX included.

That new SWEET Shelby gt500? Beat it by 25 seconds

It was just .5 seconds slower than the BMW M4 CLS that is double the price. In fact of the 35 cars that did beat it in ring time almost all are double the price or more.

I’ve owned an S550 (current gen) Mustang and drove plenty of challengers. The Camaro is more akin to a European car with an American v8 than those other two.

Wasn’t even in my wheel house of cars till I drove it. It handles as if on rails.

When bought I was literally looking at a Q50 RedSport and an M4. Then I drove it….
