Claiming to be “moving the genre up a notch” Chevy is eager to prove that its Camaro ZL1 is not just a proven performer, but that it can withstand the sort of beating owners are likely to throw at it.

With a 7:41 Nurburgring Lap time (the same as a Porsche GT3), Chevy engineers put the ZL1 through a grueling 24 hour endurance test at the company’s Milford Proving Grounds as a way to see if they could break the car, looking at issues as they pop up, so that they won’t have to once the vehicle is on sale.

Documenting the entire process the video gives plenty of insight at the most capable Camaro ever and a good look the impressive engineering bits that go into making such a car.
