I know that SLP works closely with GM and in the past they did the conversions of Z/28 to SS for GM, but I'am not totally sold on GM not being able to use the ZL-1 moniker on their top of the line Camaro.

SLP is using the production Camaro convertibles wheels on the ZL edition cars it is producing and it is using the same ram air hood design that was first revealed in the GM Design studio's photo of the then proposed Z/28 model which is similar to the current TF3 edition Bumble Bee Camaro. So my take on all this cross sharing between GM and SLP is that nothing is off the table when it comes to what the name may be, ZL-1 or what ever it will be called. If GM can let SLP use it's designed products on their cars, I am sure that SLP can surely let GM use it's products seeing how the ZL editions are limited edition runs each year. Just a little food for thought.
