Super Clean White Chevy Camaro SS 6th Gen With ZL1 1LE Front Bumper
Named after “a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs”, the Chevy Camaro was among the first and main competitors to the innovating and successful Ford Mustang back in the 1960s. Several decades later, in the 2020s, the two are the only models of that incredible automotive competition still alive. They still remain true to their nature, providing main muscle car points – an aggressive look and impressive performance.
The Camaro was revived after a solid gap in production and made a statement again. The model was completely redesigned considering demands of the current time. With an outstanding look and powerful V8s, it immediately drew the attention of car enthusiasts. Now, the car is in the sixth generation and its army of followers is still growing. A lot of owners made some upgrades to their Camaros to improve performance and make the car look more personal and the ride we will talk about today is no exception.
Steve from Las Vegas just started the work on his 2017 Camaro and made it look exceptionally clean and aggressive at the same time. It is safe to say that his Chevy Camaro stands out from the masses and makes people turn their heads with its bold and shiny look. However, like a true car enthusiast, Steve took care about the performance improvement too. We were lucky enough to get in touch with Steve and ask him about his Camaro, future plans for it, and modifications he already made, you will find the interview below.
“Nowadays, emission regulations are stricter than ever and automakers can’t stand aside from this trend, so you can even get a Camaro with a 2.0 L turbo I4 engine under the hood, not just a V6 variant, like it was earlier. It will definitely be eco-friendly, but will you really enjoy that car to the fullest?”
“Even modern, advanced and quite potent I4s will never provide you with the feelings and emotions you get driving a car powered with a good old V8, so make sure to choose wisely and make your driving enjoyable.”

The Interview
How did you get into the muscle car scene?
– It originally started when I bought a 2013 V6 Chevy Camaro. After driving that for about 3 years I knew that I had to get one with more power.
Why did you choose this particular model for your project?
– My 5th gen Camaro was what started it all. As a V6 owner, you kind of get picked on for not getting the V8 version, but at the time I wasn’t very knowledgeable in that sense. After looking into the differences I know for a fact that I wanted to do better.
What inspired you to choose this modification style?
– When I first saw the ZL1 1le! I fell for the aggressive look it had, but financially I knew I wasn’t capable of owning one just yet. So I went with the 2SS and started modifying the performance and the exterior.
What challenges did you face while putting it together?
– Honestly, I can’t really say I had any challenges. Everything the car has, I’ve done it myself. Working as an aircraft mechanic has helped a lot in that sense of turning wrenches and putting everything back how it was. I did have an issue with the front splitter, where it wasn’t clipping the way it had to but zip ties did the trick.
What do you love about your car?
– I’ve probably mentioned this a lot but it’s the aggressiveness of the exterior and even with stock exhaust and long tube headers, it definitely sounds like it looks.
Is it your daily or a weekend ride?
– It is a daily ride for now.
Do you take it to local car shows or a race track?
– I’ve taken it to many car shows and I’m still trying to practice my launch before I take it to the race track and make a fool of myself.
