Its an awesome car. Here is a video posted of an overview at the Chicago Autoshow. Don't know if its been posted, but good video of all the features:

toesuf94 · 09-09-2011, 01:56 PM

I love the skid marks at the 1:55 mark...looks like a ride was had.

ShnOmac · 09-09-2011, 02:01 PM

I really like the lack of body roll.....

Hurst equipped · 09-09-2011, 02:11 PM

wondering how many g's it will be pulling..

csjcsj · 09-09-2011, 02:31 PM

MikeJrSS · 09-09-2011, 02:38 PM

I'm loving the new colors they are showing, I wasn't a fan of the SIM until now. That IBM looks pretty sick too. I might have to change my mind about dropping all my extra cash into my SS.

JusticePete · 09-09-2011, 02:47 PM

Chevrolet is very serious about being track ready and it shows in the expanded testing in the video. I did notice a very aggressive almost slick like tread pattern. Could these be ZL1 Camaro specific tires????

Z_Rocks · 09-09-2011, 03:46 PM

But that car in the video, doesn't have the new hood. I want that new hood. :-)
