LOL Umm, while I don't know the performance figures anymore than you do, I would be happy to put some money on the ZL1 NOT being faster than a C6 Z06, expecially one with launch control.

Of course the only car that was in the rope barracade at C5FII, otherwise some members might have tried it on for size..... very hot car though!!

I really think this car is being changed as we speak. With the GT500 swinging to 620hp for 2012, the present LSA won't have a chance. If you watch that 3 way race between the GTR-Z06-GT500. The Vette just beat the GT500 by a tiny amount, and thats the GT500 at 550hp, not the 2012 at 620hp. I SO want to buy this car but I will have to wait for the real numbers.

I highly doubt it will beat a C6 Z06. Maybe the base C6 and MAYBE the grand sport, but the Z06 has run 10's upwards of 128 mph with nothing but tires, and a really good driver.

thats an electrical/accessory 12V plug. Just flip it open and plug in!

I saw this article. For anyone with the newest Camaro Now: is there any extra/new info in there not covered in other mags?

Well, the car hasnt been produced yet so at this point, EVERYTHING you read in magazines (performance-wise) is pure speculation. The way I see it, this car will likely have a few more than 550HP. I would guess the final numbers to be somewhere in the 560s but not more than 575ish.

Love this car from the start

. Can we merge the StingRay high tech interior to this one, and keep it at low 50 please?

Otherwise, it is hot, she's got hips to match, and the stamina/aggresive humpf to match... all in one tight package.

Does anyone know how the steering wheel grip is like when you drive a lot during hot day? DC/VA can get a little bit cold in the winter and slightly hot in the summer.

Yeah thanks. That's like the one part of the interior I haven't noticed after looking at thousands of these pictures for the last few years. I probably would have noticed it if I had ever sat in a fifth gen but I refuse to until I get my own. If I did it would make this long wait even worse.

I want to see the ZL1 convertible!!

Well, for what its worth, i know what you mean. I sat in a 98 camaro SS and never got around to getting my hands on an LS1 fbody. I wanted the car BADLY too. I should have never, sat in or driven it.

+1 on making the cluster/plastic carbon fiber & changing the speedometer

Why do I swear I saw this on here before from a while ago?

I checked R&T's website and this was from March... *confused*
