Don't be Gentle, it's a Rental - The Hertz Hendrick Camaro ZL1

Dave’s 2020 Camaro ZL1 was previously a Hertz rental, and was sent directly to Hendrick Motorsports for a special set of 24 cars to be built. This car is #7 of 24.

Hendrick Motorsports installed a Callaway SC750 supercharger and added the distinctive yellow vinyl stripes and decals with matching calipers.

Dave then purchased the car from Hertz with 1500 miles on it and began transforming the car into a ZL1 1LE with track package. All 24 cars built by Hendrick have unique interior modifications that pay tribute to NASCAR driver #24, William Byron.

This car is owned by Dave Schotz, a 7-time SCCA National Champion and 17-time NASA National Champion. He also campaigns in various autocross, solo, time trial, club racing, and road racing events across the county.

Dave recently picked up a set of our Camaro-specific staggered 19×11” / 19×12” ARC-8 setup with 305s in front and 325s in the rear providing the grip this powerful rear wheel drive monster requires. The ARC-8 is a timeless motorsport design engineered to optimize weight and strength. These Camaro-specific fitments also feature knurled bead seats to reduce tire slippage during hard acceleration and braking.

We hope you enjoy the photos below from a recent Global Time Attack event at Buttonwillow Raceway, shot by our friend Seth DeDoes.

Cory has been Domestic Fitment Expert at APEX since 2018, helping owners figure out the proper wheel fitments for their Camaro, Corvette, Mustang, Challenger, Charger, Cadillac, and Tesla vehicles. Prior to joining APEX, he worked as Service Advisor at an automotive performance shop. Never one to sit at a car show, Cory has had a lifelong passion for performance driving. His extensive track experience began with HPDEs in 2015. He soon got the itch to start competing in time trials, which he has been doing ever since. Among the cars he has tracked are three Mustang GTs (2005, 2006, 2011), a 2016 Fiesta ST, and his current ride, a 2010 Corvette Grand Sport with APEX SM-10RS wheels. Fun Fact: Apparently Cory’s love of speed isn’t limited to the racetrack; after not training at all, he recently ran a 5K and placed 7th out of 210 competitors.
