MT is showing 3.8 0-60 and 12.1 quarter...quite the difference.

Also the motor has only 770 miles on her. She will run 0-60's in the high 3's after she gets around 5K-7K miles on her.

So overall the ZL1 is being well received. That's good news for Camaro lovers everywhere.

. The ZL1's wheels measure 20 inches in diameter (as opposed to 19 for the other guys), available in two styles with three finishes and fitted with Goodyear F1 Supercar Gen II unidirectional tires (285/35ZR front, 305/35ZR rear).

Autoweek's review. 2 styles and 3 finishes on the wheels.

Well, I am glad to see these reviews get out there and even happier to see that the car performed as well as it was expected to. Quite frankly, it seems like too many people were down in the mouth around here after the November information was released and all that went on with that other car company. This is refreshing, at the least.

I'm waiting for Top Gear (hopefully UK) to get their hand's on one. I think the Stig will perform miracles with that car the way these mags are talking about it.

I wouldn't mind seeing the ZL1 on MOTORWEEK, but TOP GEAR would be awesome! I think as Spring approaches, we'll be seeing much better numbers.

Or much worse as summer approaches. I bet the aftermarket guys will come up with a way to help keep in IAT cooler!
