Ted.
I'll be up there again soon. Just did a 11.8 @ 120 mph at Englishtown. Thanks for the tips. Also, sorry about your ZL1.

And you need to wait for the last year of production for the 5th gen. It is then, and only then that you will have the best Camaro GM ever offered. To think GM will never improve the ZL1 is very narrow minded thinking.

Sorry goes out to you 2012 guys, but the 2013 ZL1 is bound to be better.

Sorry goes out to you 2013 guys, but the 2014 ZL1 is bound to be better.

Sorry goes out to you 2014 guys, but the 2015 ZL1 is going to be perfect.
I didn't hear that said...... LOL, but nice way to use an elbow.

I just took a 2012 GT500 out for a test drive(getting impatient waiting for word on vert ZL1) and that is a beast! Not even fully broken in, so 80% on blower, but the power is shocking!! But I couldn't help but be reminded of my '81 Z28 that had 450hp....lots of power in a straight line but it didn't feel as confident in the corners or on braking as I would have liked. I'm sure the ZL1 will feel entirely different as Randy Pobst said in the "ZL1 vs. Boss" comparison...his new "favorite American muscle car".

I dropped my order since I didn't get the 2012 and I'm now waiting for my 2013 GT500. Why not there is already an SS in the family? I'll be able to tell the Camaro world exactly how it feels and for Ford to come out on top of the HP war after all the hype....

I did the same thing two weeks ago.

I didn't want to be getting my car just in time to store it for the winter.

As far as the 2013 having more HP. I highly doubt it. I think GM would have a lot of 2012 ZL1 guys standing at corporate with picks and shovels. LOL
