I love the disbelief. The desperate search for excuses why that lap time wasn't possible.

It was factory!!! Yes, it's that good a factory package!

The Camaro TEAM has done a lot of tire development work to get them just right for the ZL1 -- a lot.

Grab them while they last...

WOW...how close was that bet???...$95 dollar difference!!
Did I win the final round on the PRICE is RIGHT?
If I remember, when you bid within $100 you win the two final price packages!!
lol

$54K is a bargain and the ZL1 Ring time ridiculous. It is a Camaro lover's DREAM car. The ZL1 is proof that GM makes dreams come true.

I had been dreaming of a Camaro SUPERcar with a normally aspirated dry sumped LS7 with 680 HP. That dream came true courtesy of the Lingenfelter L/28. I like to dream. Maybe the 650 HP 2013 GT500 will bring out a 700 HP Z/28 from GM.....

I also dream about Camaros that are faster than OE Vettes. I dream of a Pedderised Camaro at the Ring...

7:41.27 Camaro ZL1 (2012)

ZL1 buyers should be busy today making their ZL1 dreams come true and I should get busy. I have a few dreams that need my attention.

There is ZERO room to complain at that price point... 54K...

There will always be someone to complain. i seriously expected 58-60k. Watching to see what the dealers do for "market adjustment".

Wasn't those new Corvette times run on Cup Tires which make the Camaro's time even more outstanding.

Depends who you talk to. Now IF Pedders was going to run at the Ring we could use any tire we see fit as long as we make it part of the build package and it is a D.O.T. legal tire
