Since a lot of you like to compare the price to a GT500, well, I just bought a 2011 GT500with SVT performance package ($3k+) and Elec Package ($2k+). The MSRP was $55k+. To price it competitively, the ZL1 would have to be in the $49k -$50k MSRP for the BASE model. Add thousands to that for options. And you can bet dealers will be asking a mark up because they have the SS on their side. It will go like this, "So, you don't wanna pay mark-up, well, let's walk over to this shiny new SS right over here...."

If rumors are true, at just a tad over 550hp, it better be be lighter or around the 3700 -3800lbs range which is where the GT500 is. 2011 Camaro SS is already @ 3860lbs, for ZL1 add a supercharger, extra suspension bits, heat exhanger, extra fluids, etc. etc. (deduct a few for lighter wheels and a few pounds savings elsewhere) it will still likely weigh in at the 4k+ lbs range. Nonetheless, with the IRS and stock fatter/stickier tires, it will still take the GT500 IMO.
