There’s a reason why the GT350R is still marked up, and the ZL1 1LE isn’t, and that’s because more people want the GT350R, it sounds a ton better (a main reason why people buy these cars)(probably one of the best sounding factory cars ever made), and it’s a track car that doesn’t need the use of forced induction to be fast on and off the track. There a lot to be said about that.

I have a ZL11LE and I don't have a problem at all seeing out of it, my head is in the middle of the window. I don't look out the window with my bicep. The problem with these comparisons is that the ZL11LE is not a comparable to the GT 350R it's more of a comparable to the 911 GT3 or a lamborghini Hurican they have stiff suspensions also and have you ever tried to look out of a lambo? Nobody whines about the restricted vision out of that car. As far as the sound of the car put it in track mode and double tap the TC then select track and the car sounds freaking awesome but it might scare you because this is the only setting that allows you to get full throttle all the other settings restrict the horsepower.

Exactly, the ZL1 is GM's top performer for Camaro when in 2015 it had 505 hp to today's 640 hp, why because Ford's mid-range Stang gt350r track car blew it's doors off, it's horse power 526. So GM's using Ford's mark to beat, came back with more horses than a drag stock car in the late 80's rated at just 500 hp. So if you want a comparison you have to race the KR (king of the road) GT 500. Note: Corvette was made to compete with Ford's two seater in the 50's, the Thunderbird, who always won the race. But now the mustang whooped that ass (Corvettes) so many times and the ford GT being a super car they threw their motor out, built a new one, with more torque and redesigned the whole car after putting the motor in the middle (like Seattle moving out of the AFC West, and being relocated to NFC North before they could win a title) of the chassis, good job GM but I'm still riding a Stang baby, the original American icon. GM did a fantastic job chased the leader GT 350 and after a couple tries got em'.

I would say the ZL-1 1-LE is closer to the GT-500. Take the supercharger off, thus an SS with the 1-LE option and this becomes more of an apples-to-apples comparison with the GT350-R. Visibility is much worse than in the Mustang, not insurmountable, but not as easy to see out of in comparison. The LS motor makes torque much easier, less oil consumption as well

Chargers are a joke for the SS unless they have some strap-ons. The stock mustangs, cannot compete with the 1SS or 2SS let alone the ZL1's without their supercharger strap-ons. Even in handling they fall behind the Camaro. From what I've researched even a Hellcat cannot touch a Camaro with equal horsepower under the hood.

The GT350R owner mostly complained about the ZL1 1LE suspension. Solution, do what I did...buy the "regular" ZL1. It's everything the ZL1 1LE is, except for two things: 1) With the ZL1, you get the Magnetic Ride suspension (like on the GT350R), which is excellent on the track and excellent for everyday driving and 2) you can easily add the 1LE aero package to the ZL1 and then, poof, you have a ZL1 1LE with a better overall suspension. Oh, and I also got a sunroof on my 2018 ZL1, which you can't get on a ZL1 1LE. I added the aero so, in my opinion, I now have a better car than both of these.

If you're buying either of these cars for daily driver "comfort", you're doing it wrong. The Ford guy complains the ZL1 is too rough and that he drives his GT350R daily.

+BombersNemesis I'm not quite sure how it's wrong to use daily driver "comfort" as a reason to buy one car or the other. If I was just trailering the car to the track, you'd buy the 1LE without hesitation since the ride quality doesn't matter on the track. But, if you are not planning to use it just for the track and plan to use it for other things, then ride quality should matter in the decision you make. I wanted a car that would be good on the road and the track, not just one or the other. And I wasn't in the position to buy just a car for the track, so ride comfort is something I look for. The heated/cooled seats comments I said did not come out the right way in the video, and I can see why it sounds contradictory. Heated and cooled seats have nothing to do with overall seat comfort, it's just a convenience feature. The seats in the Shelby are actually more comfortable than the Camaro seats, and they are not heated/cooled, and that is stated in the video. And lastly, Who doesn't want dessert? Not sure how that adds anything relevant, but whatever. I'm glad you enjoyed the video though, it was fun to make and both cars were a blast to drive.

The GT350R is quite the car and I have never been a fan of Mustangs. I have the opportunity to put some money down for a GT500 in the next few weeks so I have been scouring the internet for as many comparisons as I can and if the GT500 is even close to what it's being touted to be, it's going to destroy the competition in the muscle/sports car genre.

When the GT350/R was developed in 2014, it was built to beat the previous generation Z/28 (latest Chevy track car at the time) around a track. The previous generation Z/28 is the closest competitor to the GT350/R, not the ZL1 and the 1LE. The newest Shelby yet to be released is supposed to be the response to the ZL1 1LE. And to my knowledge, the GT350R beats the Z/28 around the track, so the GT350/R accomplishes the goal it was built for in my opinion. But when compared to the 1LE, it's no contest, but for a reason (supercharger). In terms of the ride quality, I can totally understand why they designed the 1LE the way they did. Hell, the Ford GT has the same shocks as the 1LE. But I complain about the ride quality in comparison to the Shelby because both are considered fast around a track (track cars), but the Shelby is more comfortable overall because of the Magnaride suspension. If the 1LE had the magnaride shocks like in the normal ZL1, I think it would still be as fast or close, but ride better on the road. Question: Do you daily the 1LE where you live? Honestly, I wouldn't want to daily the 1LE here in Michigan because the suspension is ONLY designed for the track, and our roads suck lol. People want to drive the 1LE on the road and on the track when they buy it, so it should be more comfortable to drive on the road if they are selling it as such.

its nice to see what an actual polite conversation is like between different brand owners. something you don't see when visiting different car forums or youtube comment sections that drip with brand bias and vitriol. just 2 guys, driving 2 cool cars and having fun in both.

I'm saving this video to link in the dumb comment section arguments in the future. This is how real men compare cars. Blatant brand bias is not only ignorant but bad for the brand in the long run. Demand more from your favorite brand if you want more. Competition is always a good thing. It's a great age for american motor sports with all the competition and we've never seen this much quality in our muscle cars. Hats off for the very cool format. These guys put their bias aside and gave very genuine and logical opinions.

This would be a tough one for me. I agree that the 350R looks better, and the sound it makes is just amazing, and I also like the idea of an N/A engine. But the ZL1, esp in 1LE trim is a better performer in every metric. Unfortunately I can't afford them so it doesn't really matter. *BUT* I soon will be able to afford ~$45k so it will likely come down to the Camaro SS 1LE vs Mustang GT PP2.

This is the BEST honest review I have ever seen about these cars. I am a Shelby guy, but I TOTALLY respect this Camaro, and would not take it lightly (not even remotely). I agree with both guys opinions. The Shelby works better for me (engine orgasm), but I can't deny torque rules. Cheers. One last thought. I can add forced induction to my Shelby GT 350. GAME OVER :)

i own the 1le. i think this is the best review of these two cars i've seen. One beef - i get tired of hearing what a hard ride the 1le is mostly because i got use to it. sure it's a hard ride, but somehow 2k miles later, i dont notice. and the other thing - that suspension glues the car to the road like rails, and i'd like to point that out. took the car to willows a couple of weeks ago. had a great time. drove the car there and back (500 miles round trip). best street legal car there that day, and kept up with all the pure track cars. for me, the ride is stiff but not harsh, not jarring. My two cents. Again, great video, Eddie. Love the format, especially since the owners work at GM and Ford.

WOW! Sincere thanks to BOTH OWNERS! Unbelieveably well spoken & honest- ZERO trash talk from either. Really enjoyed each others impressions of the other's car- maybe the very best comparo I've ever seen. Love them both, but, the sound of the Mustang, along with that 8,200 RPM limit along with a daily driver ride (1LE was way to stiff) was my favorite. I agreed with both owners- the seats & dash & tech would've been nicer in the GT350R, but, who doesn't adore 650/650 on tap- all the time? I can barely tell a rental V6 from a Shelby, so, the Camaro is a real stand out- "what is that thing?" is what I always say when I see one (albeit rarely). EddieX- great work, and, (I'm guessing) solid editing! What a high bar to achieve, I hope you can keep it up! At $65k- the Camaro is a dedicated track car (pricey), and the GT350R isn't. But, at 65K for it, I think I would want more: tech, options, luxury, etc...

You nailed it with this review Eddie. I personally would choose the R and add more leather, power, wider tires and gadgets but with the 1le all you need is better race seats and exhaust. Overall I would give the Camaro the win but the Mustang gets my money because it's harder to upgrade looks.

In this case though without driving them myself I'd have to go with the ZL1 1LE. THAT ALL BEING SAID I THINK I AM VERY UNBIASED

Shelby appeals to me more, seems like it’s priorities are a bit more oriented. Especially coming from a 4 cylinder and Porsche NA background. It also looks cleaner to me. The ZL1 looks cool from some angles, but also looks like the front end was molded by a head on-collision. That said, I’ve heard the voodoo is a bit of a glass block.

Honestly, the Zl1 1LE is a bad ass looking car and it really is a beast. As far as "the view" out of the ZL1, it's not as bad as they say, you just have to drive it long enough to get used to it. There is nothing I don't like about this car.
