ZL1 is Epic Win coated with Awesomesauce.

If you ask me again, I smack you for not paying attention.

Will the ZL1 wheels fit a 1SS ??? I bet they will, and could you fit the ZL1 hood on my 1SS, I bet it will and when the hood becomes available, I will let you folks know.... Because I'm getting a ZL1 hood and dropping it on my 1SS.



By the way.... I luv your '69 Chevelle, myself, I have a '68 Chevelle convertible... the '68-'69 Chevelles are my Fav years


you just answered my own debate...... They are using parts already available !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so what is actually redesigned since they are using parts off the shelf from other rides ?????

Thanks!

For sure! There is a new breed evolving. ZL1 is in a sweet spot of being both at the "tip of the spear" of this breed, much like it was in 1970, and could become a "fossil" very quickly with world economics like it is, amongst other things.

My instinct is that we are at the "Crossroads of Opportunity, Preparedness and Imagination".... Some will look back and wished they'd pulled the trigger. For some, it won't seem like the best opportunity. They will keep looking and hoping/waiting for something else. For some, they see the opportunity, but for whatever reason, aren't prepared (or able) to realize it. And for many, even non-buying admirers, this IS the car they IMAGINED for. At any rate, it's going to be a ton of fun when this car hits the streets and we see it all mapped out!

I can without a doubt assure you this car is worth the wait , like the regular Camaro it has no bad angles , and it looks kick-ass from the front and back The sound of its exhaust is heart stopping and you will need a change of underware the first time you see it and get behind the wheel

It will come down to what you prefer in a cars looks, I have heard the new GT500 runs an 11.6 @125, so if you are looking only at the performance side of it, I'm not sure. If you like the LOOKS of the ZL1, then YES it IS worth it!
