Overview
2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a S1 Class (supercar tier) entry in the base roster. This page covers how it tends to drive in its class, where it fits inside the Japan setting, how to think about a starting tune, and which roster entries it naturally compares against.
Background and Forza Horizon 6 context
The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 emerged as a high-performance powerhouse, featuring a supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 engine that delivered a thrilling 650 horsepower. With advanced aerodynamics and a track-ready chassis, it excelled in both straight-line speed and cornering prowess, making it a formidable competitor in the muscle car segment. The ZL1's blend of raw power and cutting-edge technology reestablished the Camaro's dominance in American performance cars. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2017 Chevrolet entry sits in the S1 Class (supercar tier) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same S1 Class (supercar tier) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 2022 Acura NSX Type S and 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm, which is the S1 Class (supercar tier) peer group this car is usually weighed against.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
Sixth-generation ZL1 ran the LT4 6.2 supercharged V8 (shared with the Corvette Z06) making 650hp through a Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual or ten-speed automatic. In S1-class events on long Japanese road routes the supercharged V8's mid-range torque is the appeal; the magnetorheological dampers help on tighter mountain corners.
Where it shines
S1 class fits faster road events, longer point-to-points and online cruise lobbies focused on supercar showcases.
Tuning starting point
Tunes here often balance launch grip vs top-end. If you mostly run open road events, prefer a tune with steadier mid-throttle response over absolute V-max.
How to get 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
This car is listed without an add-on label on the official Forza Horizon 6 source, so we treat it as part of the base roster. Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19, 2026, and before that date the public Autoshow may not surface every base-roster car yet — players asking 'how do I get this car, it is not in the Autoshow?' on Reddit or the Forza forums usually find the answer is 'wait for launch day or a post-launch update'. After launch, base-roster cars are normally available through credits in the Autoshow, Wheelspins, Festival Playlist rewards, or the in-game showcase that introduces new vehicles.
