And it was the first time that the world found out that a new Chevrolet would be called “Camaro”
– rather than “Panther.”

good job slick rick

Looks like a 600 HP decal on the hood.
I'm interested in seeing this car but it just looks like a Camaro SS with various SLP goodies.

You beat me to it, not many people know that the Camaro was going to be originally called Panther. Personally I wish they had kept the original name. It's wayyyyy more aggressive than "chum" or "pal" "friend" "commrade" whatever! Besides, I think camaro means 'shrimp' in another language, which I hope continues to go largely unnoticed by most.

Oh no... Now they all know about our Shrimp SS's

j/k

Camaro still has a good ring to it, but I agree, Panther is aggressive. I hope SLP puts together a great rendention here. I'm hopeful.

Panther was just a code name for Camaro....

bumblebeecamaro · 02-02-2012, 08:29 AM

SLP cars use to have a lot of luster in my eyes.

but then of course that luster has faded since the ZL1's announcement. lol

Russell James · 02-02-2012, 08:56 AM

I'd be impressed if a tuner did a performance package supported/R&D'd with/by GM. Warranted by GM, by any Chevrolet dealer...

Aftermarket packages with no factory support.... pass.

Tribute · 02-02-2012, 08:59 AM

Russell - That would be SLP. They do have a high price mark, but they are just that. A partner with GM and you retain your warranty. I get my car back in a couple weeks from being tuned out by SLP to their ZL600 specs and I will retain my warranty to be used at any GM dealer.

I agree since the ZL1 has come out, they needed to add in a new flavor to keep things interesting. And it seems they are doing just that.

I know what you mean... My timing was a little off, perhaps I would have chosen differently. It all depends on how the car is when it comes back.

yeah.... no offense but I wonder why would anyone choose an SLP car over a ZL1 once they come out?

the ZL1 is cheaper, has some sweet upgraded goodies and in most cases will probably be faster.

Thanks for the interest folks! We'll be posting some info on the Panther tomorrow evening and I'll post some photos of the car in our exhibit at the NADA show in Vegas as well.
