Future of the ZL1 - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The C7 is going to be an upgrade from the C6/5th Gen Camaro obviously in the performance & innovation standpoint. If I were you I would check out a C7 first, however IMO the Vette is a different type of car all together than the Camaro and I personally wouldn't take even a C7 over a ZL1.

Dang sub 5 sec 0-6 with 380hp!

The future is looking sweet

You're right. I had a C6 vette and the vettes ive been in feel more like luxury/performance whereas the ZL1 is just a pure muscle car. It was way more fun to drive.

If an all wheel 6th Gen Camaro comes out I'll upgrade my 2LT for one (not another ZL1) that as my commuter fun ride... provided it still looks bad ass.

Rumors all abound, smaller, turbo 4 banger, rah blah blah but ZL1 will pack the V8. Keeping my ZL1 for good.

Since it can't get any bigger, good money is on smaller.

I'm kind of hoping the ZL1 disappears from the lineup with the next generation of Camaros. That will make the current ZL1 models more desirable later. They can bump the performance for the SS and other models, but I'd rather not see the ZL1 stick around. If the ZL1 does stick around, it will wind up becoming "just another Camaro."

has the ZL1 even been confirmed for 2014? I assume it will continue because it is selling well but that is a bit down the road.

I personally hope they do a Z28/yenko/baldwin/production copo something fun but different. special editions are not special anymore if you make them every year. the ZL1 would have never been so talked about if it was a 10 year production.

I want to see a 500hp n/a 33-3400lb car. a true pony car.

The main problem is that the ZL1 has really grown on me. I love it and am trying to decide if I should keep it and buy the 'vette too. Great problem to have. Don't wait, get the Camaro and have fun now until next summer when Bowling Green starts delivering.

Congratulations and we are happy to have you as a fan! What is your favorite feature on your ZL1?
