NEW Official Details on Camaro ZL1 -- 580hp / 556 lb-ft torque!!

[Dmac]

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.

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.

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

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

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.
