Interesting ZL1 article
Pulled out an old 2012 GM High Tech Performance magazine featuring the next Camaro ZL1 Super car. Amazing article to read back then, and still today. Found the same article on-line from Super Chevy. Thought it would be good to share.
This quote below blew me away. Was not aware of this about our Rides Quote:

The work that went into the aero on the ZL1 was the reason they said they kept it the same on the '14 refresh. Lots of design thought went into the ZL1 and it's a great car.

Unfortunately the general public thinks it's just a really expensive SS with the corvette engine.

I actually traded my ZL1 for a really expensive SS with the corvette engine and the general public thinks it's an Impala.

LOL. I had a long conversation on a facebook automotive page about this same issue. It required me giving links to different pages on GM and Nascar websites to prove the SS is not an Impala.

One guy said he has folks asking him about his new "MALIBU" SS! That's gotta hurt. The SS is very generic, but I like em.
