Which is the better sports car the 2013 Chevy Camaro ZL 1 or the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

vette camaroNormally, Chevy is careful not to allow the Camaro to get too far off the chain so it cant threaten the Corvette. The chain just broke.

Both the Camaro ZL 1 and the new, 2014 Corvette Stingray, are cars that deliver on a promise. That promise is performance. Throughout the approximately four decades that the Camaro and Corvette have been made by Chevrolet concurrently, the company has been very careful to never let the Camaro’s performance and desirability exceed that of the Corvette, its halo car. However, due to some quirk of nature, Chevy finds itself in the odd position of currently offering the 2013 Camaro ZL 1 and the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the same moment in time. Which car is the better sports car?

superiorzl1A Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was recently treated to a full make over by Florida-based tuner Superior Auto Design. The cosmetics included a set of gloss blue metallic stripes with CF accents that run the entire length of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 body.

Most of the components we see are factory made such as the redesigned fascia and aluminum hood with a raised carbon fiber insert, a front splitter and new vertical fog lamps with air intakes designed for brake cooling. The hood features front-mounted air extractors with the center section made in satin black carbon fiber.

ligenfelterzl12013The new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is not only considered the most technologically advanced Camaro to date, but also the highest-performing production Camaro of all time. Camaro specialists and crate engine builders, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, raced one of their ZL1 Camaros on an 8.5 mile oval track at the Continental tire proving grounds in Uvalde Texas.

The run was completed by David Freiburger from Hot Rod Magazine who recorded a maximum speed of 202.67mph. This was the same ZL1 that was the first to dip into the 10′s in the 1/4-mile. LPE currently offers three packages for the ZL1 Camaro namely the Camaro 378 CID ZL1 Supercharger System Upgrade with 630hp, the Camaro 378 CID ZL1 Supercharger System Upgrade with 650hp and Camaro 378 CID ZL1 Supercharged Engine Package with 700+hp.
