ZL1
General Overview:
$54,995 inc. $900 DFC
0-60 MPH = 3.9/4.0 SEC. (A6/M6)
12.0 @ 119/12.1 @ 119 (A6/M6)
184 MPH Top Speed
1.0g MAX Lateral Grip
CAMARO ZL1 will be the most powerful and highest performing production CAMARO in history
Performance data will be given around the summer of 2011
Testing venues include: Nurburgring (7:41.27), extensive Autobahn testing, VIR track testing, Spring Mountain, Beaver Run, Milford and Yuma Proving Grounds
A deliberate effort was made to control mass (i.e. wheels/tires are 22 pounds less than those on SS)
1/3 of the SS was upgraded for ZL1
Look for some "purposeful features" in the DIC and HUD
Hours of actual wind tunnel-testing for various exterior aero' components net downforce
The Ford Mustang Cobra GT500 is the primary competitor - anything with 550 horsepower is also a consideration
ZL1 content builds on 2SS package
Team CAMARO continues to look into configurations
Built on the same production line as SS/LT/LS & convertible
Color palette to be the same as the rest of the models
Convertible is being introduced in 2013
CAMARO Facebook listed as a great place for input
Drivetrain and Performance:
580 horsepower @ 6000 RPMs and 556 foot pounds of torque @ 4200
6.2L supercharged V8 LSA engine from CTS-V, with minor changes specific to ZL1
Eaton TVS 1900 rotors with unique black upper plenum with ribbing for noise control and cowl clearance
Unique induction system including a high-flow air filter, dual inlet path air cleaner, lower-restriction upper SC plenum, and a higher efficiency intercooler complement the Eaton 1900
Cast stainless steel exhaust manifolds for enhanced thermal management
Active exhaust (with dual modes - similar to Corvette ZR1 & Z06)
Upgraded 6L90E 6-speed automatic transmission (MYD) has been enhanced with strengthened input gearsets, two additional planetary gears, an additional clutch plate, and strengthened output shaft
MYD has three distinct driving modes:
DRIVE: fuel economy and smooth shifts are desired, featuring 2nd gear start
SPORT: shift pattern is more aggressive including 1st gear start programming and an algorithm that holds the transmission in lower gears
MANUAL: full manual control, with no automatic up-shifts but staged up-shifts for incredibly fast and maximum performance "Based on throttle inputs, the transmission anticipates the next gear much like a dual-clutch variety, but without the costly hardware of DCT. GM estimates the “staged upshifts” trim shift times by upwards of 50%"
Upgraded TR6060 6 speed manual transmission (MG9) with: dual-mass flywheel, twin-disc clutch, strengthened output shaft, high-strength rear tailshaft housing, additional roller bearing, triple syncros' & factory short throw shifter with improvements to efforts and gates
Engine oil cooler identical to that of ZR1, exclusive-high-efficiency automatic transmission and rear differential cooler lower temperatures up to 100* for high performance and track driving (transmission fluid is pumped to the differential sump to cool diff' oil)
High-performance fuel delivery system with multiple pick-ups for extended high-lateral G driving
Larger lower front grille opening contributes to aid cooling, work with the hood extractors to increase downforce, and house integrated front brake cooling ducts
Underbody belly pan purposefully directs air around, under ZL1, for heat management and reduces front-end lift
Upgraded driveshaft
Upgraded limited-slip differential, featuring race-ready cast iron diff' housing, clutch packs and axle shafts (patent pending)
Upgraded cradle bushings
3.73 rear gear ratio (M6) / 3.23 rear gear ratio (A6)
51/49 weight distribution
7mm lower ride height than SS
Third Generation Magnetic Ride Control Suspension (MR) introduced on ZL1 (a generation after current MR on ZR1/CTS-V) uses new twin-wire/dual-coil dampers at all corners calculates dampening up to 1000 times a second allowing a greater range from softest to firmest settings for exceptionally responsive handling on the street or at the track
There are three settings for MR: Tour, Sport, and Track
Performance Traction Management (PTM) will be standard equipment incorperating the best blend of MR, Launch Control (LC), Traction Control (TC), and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) for the racetrack or dragstrip
PTM will have FIVE settings:
MODE 1: [I]TC for wet conditions, with ESC "On" and MR on "Tour"
MODE 2:[I] TC for dry conditions, ESC "On" and MR on "Tour"
MODE 3:[I] TC on "Sport 1", w/ESC "On" and MR set to "Sport"
MODE 4:[I] TC on "Sport 2", ESC "Off" and MR on "Sport"
MODE 5: TC on "Race", w/ESC "Off" and MR on "Track" for tracks with VHT
Launch Control will be standard for M6 models that modulates engine torque 100 times a second for consistantly fast launches
Redesigned rear stabilizer bars now have drop links placed on the outside-end of the control arms for "crisper" control (4X more effective than SS)
Next generation Variable Ratio Electric Power Steering (EPS) tuned for optimum performance
Brembo brakes - Front : 6-piston 14.6" 2 piece rotors / Rear: 4-piston 14.4" rotors
Light weight forged aluminum wheels - F: 20"x10" / R: 20"x11"
10-Spoke black low-gloss "SSX"-style wheels (standard and optional wheels are 11-pounds lighter than SS wheels)
Goodyear Supercar F1:G2 tires - F: 285/35/20 / R: 305/35/20 (specific to ZL1 and lighter than SS wheels by 11 pounds per car)
Functional front lower splitter and underbody tray
Front fender wheel opening and rear facia air deflectors manage air flow around the wheels and tires
Appearance Details:
ZL1 badging on grille, hood, brake calipers, decklid, instrument panel, headrests, and sill plates
HID headlamps with LED "Halo" rings
Functional front bumper facia with upper DRLs and lower projector fog lamps
Unique grille specific to ZL1
FUNCTIONAL raised vented-aluminum hood with a carbon fiber (exposed-optional) air extractor "Mowhawk"
