I'm not sure if anyone noticed but the 4 pack gauge cluster is also different on the ZL-1. They replaced the voltage gauge with a boost gauge.

As a 3x Camaro owner an lover, I was hoping for something special and sure enough the ZL1 came rolling in! Because I was working I didn't have a ton of time to gawk, but I did spend a few minutes looking her over and thought I'd share a few pics. Sorry they are from my cell phone and the detail in the reds kinda sucks!

Cool pics, thanks for sharing

And I do mean "hate". If I bought one, I would get a new hood and fascia ASAP. I would, of course, save the originals in case I ever sold it.

I don't see nothing but problems with that hood.

This car was wind tunnel tuned.*Changing anything on the body*(splitter, spoiler, ground effects, hood) because it is 'fugly' will hurt the aerodynamic performance. These components are functional for downforce and cooling. I'm not even sure if you could change the fascia because there are extra radiators stuffed in there.

Really? I LOVE the front fascia! I've looked into buying a a new front bumper that looks like that for my car in the past.

Thanks.. I just assumed it might be the Sonic sedan because it was parked next to the Sonic Hatchback and I didn't really pay any attention to it.

That looks mean.

Those aren't dual fog lamps, the projector lens on bottom is the fog lamp, the top one is a daytime running lamp. (DRL)
