Road and Track: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 - First Look
Serious supercharged power–124 bhp more than the Camaro SS, and looks to match. By Shaun Bailey / Photos by Marc Urbano March 10, 2011 Quote:

Well for those who were speculating over the price, looks like "around $50,000", although that's probably a R&T estimate and not official GM. Great review and pics!

I like the part that says sub 12 second quarter miles are a real possibility

What I'm really excited about is the gauge-pod shot which shows "Performance traction 5 - race."
For those that haven't ridden in a ZR1 (I'm lucky enough that my pops has one), it has a 6-setting PTM system which is KILLER. It totally changes the personality of the car. I'm too lazy to look for a link for more info right now... but it's great for tearing up the track because it allows you to dial in exactly how invasive you want the system to be and how many nannies are barking at you... from full TC/AH (wet) to no TC but AH on, etc.

Sick sick sick... this car is disgusting! And I mean that in the best way possible. Its gorgeous. I hope some of thes features go in the SS. Like the new steering wheel, new shift knob design. I know the suede is probably ZL1 exclusive but I'm hoping we see some new type of contrast in the interior for the SS.
Also I think its still not too late to ressurect the Z/28 name. They should get rid of the 1SS, then make a new interior with cloth seats and leather bolsters. a few weight reduction treatments and rid of power seats and all of the unnecessary tech stuff. Lighter weight wheels than the SS, a more aggressive tune. and call it the Z/28. So the SS will ride the same as it does unless u opt for the suspension package but the Z will be stripped with a standard susp package and more aggressive tranny. Possibly giving the Z around 20 more horses. Let's say the SS gets 430hp and the Z gets 450hp with 60lbs cut from it.that would be a nice package for a Z/28. |
