I wonder if the same can be said for the MR when lowering the car.. may not be as effective?

Thank you Joe, it's the best write up so far and the amount of great pictures is amazing!
The ZL1 is a truly great car. It make me feel like 2009 again, going through the emotional roller coaster of ordering, buying and getting my SS. Although now, reading this makes me a bit sad knowing that I no longer have the best Camaro ever... I love my 2010 SS too much to trade it but the desire to get this one is there and growing every time I read an article or see it. I’m fighting everyday with myself not to think too much about it nor to modify mine to make it close to what ZL1 is. It’s like my wife, I felt in love with her and even doe they are a lot of hot new chicks out there, I’m not letting her go or trading her for the younger model but I’m seriously thinking of that boob job! Hahaha

I have always liked the color when the light present makes the color to appear more orange, but when I see them on the streets, the IOM cars just don't do it for me. I think the black cuases it to contrast more, making it appear a little brighter. The IOM ZL1 looks good in almost every pic, but I still want to see one in person. |

I'm thinking I wouldn't mod it, seems like everything was designed to work together for a purpose. I'm not the type to shy away from mods but don't think I would mess with this work of art from some of the best engineers in the business.

I completely agree, just wondering for those who have asked in the past and are considering lowering the car.

I got chills reading this. I really wish I could get myself into a ZL1 but the SS was almost pushing the budget.

What can I say. That is just flat-out awesome! The only thing I think they should have done is put the manual mode shifting on the console. My new Cruze has this feature. Just pull the stick over and you can shift up or down. If the Camaro had that, it would almost want me to get an auto with the autostick. Well, probably not, but it sure is damn nice. Would have been SWEET on this ZL1.
