NEW Official Details on Camaro ZL1 -- 580hp / 556 lb-ft torque!! - Page 8 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Scrappy Doo · 09-09-2011, 11:21 AM

I'd drive 1.

I would hope a base MSRP around 50, then up to 56-57 depending on options.

aet08 · 09-09-2011, 11:23 AM

really 580? That's it?

NEED MOAR POWER

Z4me · 09-09-2011, 11:30 AM

Well i was close on the HP final figure I was guessing 585, nice to see some new info out about the ZL1`

SRT5939 · 09-09-2011, 11:32 AM

580HP is around 490 to the tires which is pretty close to an 11.8 @ 4200lb with an Auto matic or a pro driver with a stick.
If the price is right you might see lots of Fords and Dodge's on Chevy lots this year.
With Dodge locking down the computers, Chevy sales will soar.
I'll buy one of these if the price is right since Dodge screwed everyone.
But it won't go faster than SRT5939, I don't care who's driving it.

Not so long ago 500 RWHP from the factory was some kind of pipe dream.

My dreams are now coming true.

If you want more, just pass on the warranty & go as big as you can afford with mods. You won't need too many.

That's what I felt like after reading this thread.

...Just what do you think you are doing Dave?...LOL...

...ya, the ZL1 is mind blowing...just as promised...,
it even would make a HAL 9000 envious...

Dmac · 09-09-2011, 11:42 AM

I'm officially impressed. Minor mods could easily push that into the 600+ hp territory. Hadn't thought about a silver zl1 before, but man it looks good in that color. Now I can't decide.... silver or white?!?

THIS is the money right here. SO pumped it's going to be susceptible to mods like the GT500 and CTS-V's are.

congrats, but let some one with a ZL1 put the same amount of money in there car as you have in yours, then see who is where with a monster.................

fiascoes1 · 09-09-2011, 12:04 PM

Finally!!! some real news, good job chevy I love it

PYROLYSIS · 09-09-2011, 12:05 PM

Wow, it's like 2008 all over again. She looks awesome in silver. I'll never understand the people that want to mod this car. It's perfect.

panexpoguy · 09-09-2011, 12:15 PM

Looks like it will be a heck of a ride, looks good in silver!

ULTRAZLS1 · 09-09-2011, 12:24 PM

4200lbs?

The car gained 340 lbs over a standard SS? And they even took weight reduction steps? I understand the supercharger etc will add another 150lbs or so...and other heavier duty components...but they also lightened the car in ways also. I dont see the car gaining more than 150-200 lbs.

4200 lbs is ridiculous...as if the regular camaro wasnt heavy enough.

This!! No thanks GM. No ZL1 for me. Hopefully they don't disappoint me with the Z28.

How does anyone figure this will beat (let alone spank) a New gt500 at 3750-3800 lbs and 550 hp?....and with the ZL1 at 580 hp and 4200lbs.

If these figures are correct the camaro will actually be a bit slower.

I think the source is probably wrong and the car is about 4k and just a bit quicker than the GT500

Rambo220 · 09-09-2011, 12:31 PM

Its times like this I wish I wasn't only 18 and I was done with medical school so I can get this.

I hope so, I always thought the ZL1 would come in just under 4K. Sounds like the hp/lb. figure was posted on a screen by GM during the presentation. The only way that would make sense if it's a deliberate false figure by GM and they used the old HP number of 550 so they aren't laying it all out there for their competitors. 550 x 7.24= 3982. If it actually weighs 4200 lbs. then game over again.

No problem -- we'll take your name off the list.

by the way - I think you're going to be in for a surprise.

There's lots we've still not disclosed - so stay tuned.........

Don't get it confused I love the car I just think they could have done more with similar mods and gotten more power out of it

Every OEM runs their engines at WOT at length to ensure durability. They also have to pass emissions in every state. You don't, but they do. Why? They're an automaker, you're a guy modding his car. You get to play be a different rule book.

Isn't that roughly how much the Perellis are for the Camaro?

Not so long ago, 500 at the flywheel was some kind of dream.

Because the CTS-V coupe spanked the gt500? And maybe cause the Cts-v coupe is as HEAVY or HEAVIER than the zl1... Oh and cause it has 556 horse and 556 torque, OH and MAYBE... the ZL1 has 580 HORSEPOWER? it's gonna spank the gt500 again. No doubt.
