Some great reads :chevy:

:word: I'm looking forward to more :drool::popcorn:

The common link these all have is ZL1 RESPECT

4.3 seconds from 0-60 isn't too bad. They don't say what the DA was. Wonder if they let the IAT get too warm before launching. That reduces timing advance big time with the Corvettes. Assuming they did things right then I'm afraid the mph isn't indicative of an 11 second car if 116 is best.

I swear I read it was cold in at least one of those reviews, so we might be stuck with that 116... I still think it has some top-11s in it by great drivers and on good tracks, but only time will tell :drool:

Here's a test sheet from Car and Driver

ok so it was cold and the tires had 32 psi equals no traction. It will do better then 12.3.......

Sweet!!!

good reading material!

Ultra high performance tires are worthless in the cold.
0-60 times tell me that there were traction issues.
119 mph trap speed tells me that there is a lot of hp.
This car will see 11s no prob with the right conditions.

Temperatures ranged from 34.2°F wet to 46.4°F dry. The ZL1 can do much better, the tires being the limiting factor.

Very cool!

I'm not a huge car guy but that is baaaaaaaaaaaaad a**!!! Quite a bit of dissing on the interior. I don't think it's too bad, but I still don't care for that steering wheel. It would be sweeter if it said Camaro, or ZL1, or something IMO.

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

Much better there. I only clicked on the first one. http://www.automobilemag.com/feature...ort/specs.html

117 and 119 trap speed is high 11's all day long...

Cant wait for the head to head numbers with the GT500!

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. :)

That was some fun literature. Good job GM.

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.

All great reads... It's nice to see some positive words about the ZL1! ;)

So many pictures I don't know which one to use for my background!!!

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!

Man this is good stuff! Thanks for the PDF link wilmaya!

What issues are these reviews in ??? Anyone know would like to pick up those issues

They all read March of 2012, so they must be available now or very soon.

Great reads though.

I am going to wait a year or so to get mine though.... :facepalm:

The Car and Driver test sheet indicates 720 miles on the odometer. That car will be significantly faster after a few thousand miles are put on it.

Scott, you and Team Camaro should be plenty proud to have the patience to build and test this beast. All honor to your Team !!!!!

I suspect TG US might get it but TG UK won't as the car won't be sold here (according to Chevrolet).

We're still waiting on the SS (the only model we are getting).

The water pump for the supercharger's air-to-liquid intercooler is plucked from a less likely donor: that bastion of efficiency, the Volt. No matter how many Volts are ever sold, consider that car's R&D cost justified.

yeah what
 

you gotta love this car, I cant wait to be able to get it. All red with the black stripe baby. Yeah what

I dont know if im the first to say it it...

But it would seem that the Camaro ZL1 is...the real boss? ;D aha.

shifty

Very nice!!!!

Fixed :D

LOVE the product coming out from GM, Ford, and Chrysler. Competition is great, and I'm so excited to see what is around the corner from all our american car companies.

Did hell freeze over or did MT just say they liked a Camaro better than a Mustang? Granted, they had to put the parting shot about the 2013 Shelby in there to keep the Fordies from going into full cardiac arrest, but still. MT must be tired of Chevy owners cancelling subscriptions. I myself gave up on them after they tested a track-modified Genesis with a stock V6 Camaro and had the balls to say the rice-burner was better with a straight face. Its nice to see them be honest for once.
