Did anyone get any photos of ZL1 in the plant? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

*radz28* · 06-13-2011, 01:58 PM

Did any of you lucky members who went to the Homecoming get shots of ZL1, or what they thought, was ZL1 or it's parts in the plant? Specifically, did GM let anyone take photos of the powertrain, chassis, or undercarriage? I'm just curious so I can update our Sticky some more.

Thanks

Chuck

Nothing that I saw at the Camaro plant. Just the couple "unofficial" rear cradle, rear differential, sway bar (which is wider/loner by over a foot), and axle.....

The only ZL1 components that we saw were at the Martinrea plant where they produce the front/rear suspension modules. They had a completed rear ZL1 module there and all I can say is the diff and half shafts are monsters built to take some punishment!

yep, cast iron versus aluminum diff, it also is supposed to have a cooler and pump for it as well....... we have seen those hanging down in some of the "spy" photos early on....

I have pictures of the red ZL1 that was introduced Saturday at the main stage. No ZL1 was found inside the plant. There were some ZL1 parts at Martinrea, but they are top secret.

Well - if you guys have new pics' that you could share, please let me know. Did they make any statements regarding the size or specifics about any of those ZL1 parts?

Thanks again for sharing.

It's a great review and I'd encourage anyone with interest to get a read.

With each new tidbit of news, ZL1 keeps getting better and better...
