BREAKING: 2012 CAMARO ZL1 - 6.2L LSA Supercharged - 6MT Revealed!

[NAZZ]

I want one

[trapin]

I love the car and hope the steering wheel makes it onto next years SS model (which I will be buying). The current steering wheel makes me gag.

Great car but then you buy this and what's left to do? I would rather get the SS and tear into it. For 5 or 6 grand over the SS price you can get almost the same performance and have twice the fun getting there. That's just me though...I can't leave my cars along, I have to tear them apart. LOL.

Still.....this new ZL1 is bad ass.

Man my LT looks pitiful now.....

Very nice car, looks to be a very stern answer from GM for the 'what about the GT500" crowd. Not enough to make me want to consider trading in the SS but still a very nice looking package and at least I can say I still have 315's out back to its 305's

I like it, hopefully the black stripe is optional.

Beautiful car. Part of me wishes I waited. But knowing me, I wouldn't have the patience to have spent the last two years without a SS.

Chevy has done it again!

Question though, is the steering wheel limited to the ZL1, or is going to be on all the cars from next year? If the latter, I've got a limit of which year cars to buy.

Look for the same steering wheel on all camaros but other models (SS, LT, LS) will not have the suede.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!! I WANT IT

[teknoid]

Looks good. Wonder how it sounds? Will it be available as a convertible too? Would have preferred the "Z28" name...

[nick at night]

"development ongoing"

And now I have to change my sig

[Dangeruss]

I personally like the ZL1 name. Using Z28 would've been going backwards, as the SS has always been the top of the line. This falls right in line with the tradition of the Camaro.

I was so afraid I was going to take one look at this and want it, but I actually just breathed a sigh of relief. While I can definitely appreciate some of the performance changes, I'm not really blown away by the aesthetics. The front end doesn't do anything for me, and I really don't like the hood insert. The interior is only available in black, and I'm not a big fan of microfiber. I also think they may have shot themselves in the foot with the manual only option, especially considering the ratio of existing Camaros sold. I understand this on a sports car like the ZR1, but this is a muscle car.

I'm definitely not bashing it, as I'm sure there are many who love the look. I'm definitely glad they've given Camaro fans a more powerful option to compete with the GT500.

I'm going to put my guess in right now on price so I can quote this thread later. - $56,000 sticker (not including the price gouging at the beginning)

I'm personally happy sticking with my plain old SS.

[TaylorRyanSS]

OMG! I want one!! I really want that front bumper and rear diffuser!!

[thespymaster]

I see Scott (FBODFATHER) has brought his sense humor to life with the ZL1




JUST POSITION THE LIGHTS IN A DIFFERENT PLACE

Anyway, basically GM has no issue with SLP using the ZL1 for the rest of the 2011 buildouts. Now come 2012, it didn't say, but I inferred that meant once the ZL1 went into production, that SLP couldn't use ZL1 anymore. But I could be wrong, as I most often am when I'm trying to guess what OEM's do.

It sounds like when SLP finishes building their 69 / 750HP ZL1's at over $100,000.00 each, you can buy a Chevy ZL1 for $50,000.00 each. Definetly worth the wait for me.
