As far as I'm concerned if GM is going to purchase the ZL brand by 2012 thats' all fine and dandy, we'll see in 2012. For now ZL's are NOT a GM product offering. I'm not privy to the details, but I'd doubt it very much that GM would have a vendor @ their display with a product called ZL1 if GM was not somehow partnering with SLP in the near future. There is definately some credit to what "wildpaws" posted, perhaps we'll see in 2012.

Licensing deals are made all the time dude. There a dose of "facts" for you too, for "now" 23-Feb-2011, the Camaro ZL brand is an SLP product that is a fact because it's tangible. If SLP discontinues their Zl1 product in 2012, and GM comes out with an "in-house" ZL1 is yet to be seen in 2012, for now a GM ZL1 in 2012 it is hype. Fact and point, the 2010 Camaro was originally slated for 2008. I know this because I waited 3+yrs. for it to come to market after it was announced to come out in 2008. It almost didn't make it because of high energy costs and the focus on the environment. The ZL1 and / or Z28 will be a fact when it's a reality, when you can touch it with your hands and see it with your eyes. I saw, felt and touched an SLP Camaro ZL1. So, I believe the ZL1 is an SLP product.

Somebody get FBodyfather in here to set the record right..
there is a lot of smoke being blown around here in the last few posts.. I just love this "its not a real ZL1..yada yada yada..because its yada yada yada.." Fact: SLP owns the name ZL1 for 2011. Fact: Camaro is the car it is made from. Fact: the SLP ZL1 cost a lot more $$$! Fact: the GM ZL1 cost a lot less $$$! Fact: the '11 SLP ZL1 has a lot more HP! Fact: the '12 GM ZL1 has a lot less HP! FACT: the 2011 SLP product IS a ZL1 Camaro! FACT: the 2012 GM product IS a ZL1 Camaro! |

Correctly said, SLP Products has purchased and owns the name ZL. They have temporally purchased the use of the name ZL1 until the end of 2011. The SLP Camaro ZL1 is a 750HP specially built car of which only 69 vehicles will be made and cost over $100,000 each. At the end of 2011 SLP can NO LONGER make vehicles with the ZL1 name, however they can continue to make their ZL585 series of cars.
Starting in Jan. 2012 GM will start production of their ZL1 Camaro introduced at the Chicago Auto show two weeks ago. The GM ZL1 will be a 550HP car selling in the $50,000 range starting in the spring of 2012. Once Jan. 2012 comes around SLP will no longer have the rights to use the name plate of ZL1.

The Panamera is now in the top spot, if I remember correctly :( It still costs like $35K more than CTS-V, but it was a good bit faster. It's hard to argue with AWD; at least it wasn't a Nissan or something, LOL.

Thanks Radz, I guess it is hard to maintain that top position. I think the CTS-V looks much better than the pregnant Porsche.
