so what is a camaro ZL1?

[bill2129]

I don't know much about the new ones. Is it faster or something?

[ShnOmac]

Not to be mean but I'm not sure if I should take this seriously.... Cant tell by your tone of font.

Look at the faq's at the top of the ZL1 forums....

You never know around here...

Like I said I really was not trying to sound rude or mean!

You have any specific questions throw them out here.... We have some people who are border line possessed with the ZL1!

[GoldenBear]

I thought that the ZL1 must be a regular ducted hood option since the ZL2 was the special ducted hood option (with an MSRP of $79.00).

Seriously, as ShnOmac stated, check out the FAQs at the top of the page.

It is just simply pure unadulterated awesomeness.

I don't know why I like that webpage so much...I think you could put a picture of the ZL1 on the hindquarters of a moose, and I'd still like it......

You know that thing everyone is calling the "big bang", what happened was God made the first ZL1 and wouldnt you know it; it was too awesome. Ended up blowing a hole in the universe and created life.

The more you know

• Performance data will be given around the summer of 2011
• Testing venues include: Nurburgring, 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

• 3.73 rear gear ratio
