Amen. People just can't be happy that GM's announcing a new model for the Camaro lineup...

Lt16spSS · 02-09-2011, 09:02 AM

The steeringwheel looks flat at the bottom and suede.

Just because everyone does it, doesnt make it right. They are back to their same old tricks.

One of the many things i love about my Camaro is the deep steering wheel. Feels great. And it makes me hate driving every other car by comparison... with their flat-feeling wheels. If I end up with a ZL-1, you can bet that I will be swapping the steering wheel before I do anything else.

DONT WATER DOWN THE GOODS FOR PEOPLE WHO CANNOT ACCEPT CHANGE!!!

*radz28* · 02-09-2011, 09:07 AM

I can't say I have about 0.5% sadness this is not Z28, HOWEVER - I'M 99.5% EXCITED!!! I can't wait until later!!!

Drago77 · 02-09-2011, 09:07 AM

Pics look really cartoonish... assuming its the angles. Not liking much or the new styling, except for what appears to be silver trim in the passenger dash and doors... appears GMs addressed the steering wheel complaints, now what will the mags have to pick on? (Although, from the pix, I like the current style steering wheel better)... congrats for those who've been seeking this, glad I ordered my SS Vert and didn't wait!

66olds442 · 02-09-2011, 09:07 AM

I need to see one in the flesh before I decide if I like the looks. I do like the new hood, but not sure what to make of the new front bumper...

Silver2SSRS6spd · 02-09-2011, 09:08 AM

Nice, just wish it had the Z28 name plate!

I'm talking strictly legally speaking. The (R) is after the L. Only the ZL is registered to SLP.

Camaro Lives On · 02-09-2011, 09:11 AM

I'm looking forward to seeing more pix. I wish I had the money to go up there... :(

Right.. and I get that part.. but.. you can't deny that calling theirs a ZL1 and GM calling this one a ZL1 isn't going to be a little confusing with people that just say I have a "ZL1"

ZL1
ZL427
ZL454
ZL575
ZL585

NVMYSS · 02-09-2011, 09:11 AM

I think many people are not going to like the name they selected and would rather it be called Z-28

Why does it need dual fogs lights??????????????

That would have been a great place for some brake cooling ducts...

zora2mac8 · 02-09-2011, 09:12 AM

the Zed L 1.. cant wait for this to hit top gear!

2010 SS RS · 02-09-2011, 09:12 AM

Now for those all waiting go out and order one..enjoy...glad this speculation is finally over. My bet is that out of every 100 that was clammering for it only 2 will ever pony up and buy one. But I cant wait to see what mods these will end up getting.

T minus 3 minutes till chevy is on the stage.

Can't wait to see the interior pics, sounds exactly what I was hoping for.

I wonder if the hood vents are exposed carbon fiber?

Blue Maro Demon · 02-09-2011, 09:13 AM

WOW!!!!ZL-1 FOR THE WIN!!!! THIS IS EPIC! This is what made sense all along but we didn't think it would happen since SLP had the name! WOW I am sold now! Is manual transmission all that will be offered? I hope it comes in both automatic & manual with the same horsepower!

Shelby just met its maker!
