What we DO KNOW is ......
WE LIKE THE AGGRESSIVE MODIFICATIONS:
1) HOOD SCOOP PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS 2) POSSIBLE FULL FIBER REDUCED WEIGHT HOOD 3) HOOD PIN NECESSITY; CONNOTATIONS 4) POSSIBLE REAR QTR BRAKE SCOOPS ALL spell performance focus. My problem now is that IF the ZL1 is released without the above mentioned items what in the h%&# am I going to do? PULL THE TRIGGER or NOT? What I do know is I want that stuff on the ZL1!! Thanks GM for listening! |

G.M. will always come out with something better , so if your waiting to pull the trigger on the zl1 to see if it will improve then you'll never get one.

Use the Force

Thanks Biggfoot! If this picture was taken four months AFTER ZL1 production started, then I would be much more prone to go with ZL1 Track Pack or Z28 prototype. But with four months to go before they start building and five months before they start arriving in showrooms, I have to go with last minute tweaking / testing. The ZL1 has made huge news everywhere from the early prototype testing pictures with the GT500 to it's debut in Chicago. Every car enthusiast out there, no matter what their favorite make is, is waiting to see what the ZL1 can really do. Chevy knows and can feel the pressure to get the ZL1 done right the first time. When they go gunning after the GT500 and others in the 550+ horsepower class, they do not want egg on their face with something going wrong. It has been touted as the most technically advanced Camaro ever built and it honors the name of the original ZL1, it has to be done right the first time. I still believe that this is final testing and adjustments to a proposed 570+ HP engine. I also believe that there will be a Z28, BUT, not till after the ZL1 has hit the streets and has been sorted out. It has big shoes to fill with the name ZL1 and I don't believe that Chevy is going to let us down.

Crude hood scoop
The hood scoop looks like it was cut by the 8th grade auto shop class!

I think you are mixing your metaphors. The Corvette and Camaro are two separate and distinct models rather than trim level designations of the same model, as Z06 and ZR1 are, and SS and ZL1 are. Did you mean to state that the ZL1 trim level of the Camaro is analogous to the ZR1 trim level of the Corvette, or, in other words, that the ZL1 is the ZR1 of the Camaro line-up? Quote:

I realize that there are many who really do want Chevrolet to produce a Z28, or a direct Boss 302 competitor, regardless of what it is named, and would like to see it sooner rather than later, but from what has been stated by Chevrolet, I don't think a Z28 is likely to happen soon. And there is nothing material that I can see in the new "spy" photo that should lead one to believe that the vehicle in the photo is a Z28 mule.

It just seems .....
that the ZL1 "should" have all the scoops and hood pins that any lesser Camaro (such as a Z28) might be adorned with.... Because those type modifications convey "horsepower".......
I wouldn't really like seeing a Z28 come out with more dress up goodies "implying" it has more horsepower than the ZL1, and I know most feel that way. C'mon GM! Make me Happy! |
