Camaro ZL1's have hit the streets

[JustinCSVT]

CSB.

Tuners are already in the 10's and will probably hit 9's in a few months, maybe less. The manuals have been putting down low 500whp numbers.

I will possibly get to drive one in a few weeks or so. Awesome time to be a car enthusiast.

I love the ZL1

[Mosbius Designs]

This has the ZR-1 engine, right?

Schmosby,

I do believe that the ZL1 has the LSA, not the LS9. Smaller displacement supercharger and some component differences. CTS-V has LSA.

It is an interesting time to be a car enthusiast for sure.

$54,000 Camaro! Are they nuts!
A Corvette convertible is cheaper.
A Corvette Grand Sport is only $2K more.
I'd rather have 2 - V6 Camaros
I'd rather have 2 - FR-Ss
Or maybe 6 - S2000s

Pfffttt.

Seriously, very good time to be out shopping RWD cars. Very good indeed.

As much as i love this car, i'd still rather the Shelby 500, this thing is a heavier feeling car, power aside it feels like a pig. (I drove one for a week in SS form)

all that said, i'd take one in a heartbeat as it would make a nice stablemate to my 80 Z.

Totally!!!

1) Install roll bars in all S2000s.
2) Weld diffs solid.
3) Practice driving on two wheels until you get it right.
4) ???
5) Profit.

. Awesome time to be a car enthusiast.

That it is. That ZL1 looks sweet, and the 2013 GT500 should impress when it rolls out as well.

Though while where on the subject of the hilarious power numbers being thrown down by modern performance cars I feel I have to mention the new MB M157 AMG 5.5TT's, these things with a simple tune are just beasts, props to Benz for this powertrain and I'm a Bimmer guy all the way.




618rwhp/740rwtq SAE on 93 octane, 1:1 5th Gear, Dyno Jet.....with a tune only!

That's just stupid.

Oh lordy.

Still can't compare to the mad sounds the 6.2 produces though. But damn those power levels are comparable to the V12TT's from not long ago.

The new 5.5TT in the AMG cars sounds pretty sick. They do the V8 badassness its true justice.

Also, for my money, I'm taking the Stang, but I've been a Stang guy forever.

[SCIROCCO SPEED]

the new mustang commercial where the mustang changes colors for whoever is looking at it.... at the end of the commercial, a little girl is looking at it and it turns pink, then black (and the little girl has black angel wings in the reflection)! Yes, that's the one i think looks perfect! Black with cobra badges. I'm a very euro guy, but god damn i want to spend some time in the new stang!

The M5/X5M engine produces similar power with a tune. The real beast was the twin turbo V10 RS6. Too bad we never got it here.

not a Camaro guy at all, but I gotta say this car is pretty bad ass, but from Ive seen they are doing poorly in 1/4mi perfermance thus far, but put it on a road coarse and have some fun with that suspension technology

The ZL1 is an impressive car. I had the opportunity to see one in person at the philly auto show, but i have yet to see one on the street. Looks great in black.
