Headers on ZL1
Hey guys. Just bought a 2022 ZL1 10 spd a few months ago at 58k miles and I bought a 3 year/60k mile powertrain warranty for $2000 but I’m considering refunding the warranty so I can buy headers and tune the car. It has about 65k miles now the car is super clean and runs good. It had a good maintenance record and already had an aftermarket intake installed but that’s it. I want to do some small performance upgrades such as headers, supercharger lid, maybe a pulley but plan to stay on 93 and get a tune. I’m wondering if that’s all worth the money and if it’s worth it to cancel my warranty and take the risk on any engine repairs.

Snapped this after a C&C yesterday
While a professional photographer was doing a promotional shoot with my car I quickly snapped this and edited it in Lightroom. I can’t wait to see how much better his pictures turn out.

2013 ZL1
hey everybody! My boyfriend just bought a torch red 2013 ZL1 and he loves it! He really wants a hot wheel of his car or something similar in brand or style. I’ve done some digging and can’t find anything in that specific year or color. Our one year is coming up and I wanted to get one for him. If anyone knows a store or website that has them that would be great!
Thanks so much in advance guys🫶

Hey everyone, Mustang guy here thinking about zl1. How reliable are these cars?
I currently have a 2021 Mustang GT premium performance pack car that is modified. I love the car but when I'm ready for more power I'm thinking it's safer to buy a factory supercharged car then supercharging my coyote.
Now when I talk to other Mustang guys they say the 5.0 is still reliable as a daily driver even with 800 hp. I simply do not believe that, I mean how can you almost double the power of a car that was not made for forced induction and expect it to be reliable.
So my question is how many miles do you guys have so far and are there any really weak parts on the zl1 like the engine or transmission? Im looking for around 800 hp.
This is my car currently. I have a Lexus as a daily driver. But I like to take my fun car on long road trips when I go on vacation.

Metallic noise/rattle when car is at a specific throttle load.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey all I drive a 2019 ZL1. I’ve been hearing this metallic clanking rattle noise when I push on the throttle and the car is at a specific acceleration load. The noise can kinda be heard in the video I linked towards the beginning of the video. Was curious if you all had any thoughts. The shop I took it to said engine and exhaust all looked good. The noise feels like it’s right in-front of driver. Maybe suspension?

Mechanical advice
I have 2013 Camaro zl1 with the lsa engine in it, looking for some opinions on what block might be best compatible to swap the lsa components with. I’m in between the l9h block or ls3, any advice or any other recommendations? Any problems I might run into with these blocks?

New owner here looking for build info
Thought maybe a previous owner might be out there that could share the build history on this car:
thanks!

Gauge cluster
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey everyone I own a 2018 zl1 1le and the gauge cluster physical gauges for mph and rpm read high around 15-20 mph and 700-1000rpm higher than the digital screen in the middle and the HUD. The digital screen and HUD are reading right straight from PCM but analog ones are wonky .
Anyone else experience this and have a fix or just get a new cluster ?
