DETROIT – The 2017 ZL1, the most powerful production Camaro ever, and the track-bred 1LE are designed to deliver exhilarating performance on both the open road and the road course, at prices that leave the competition behind.

When they go on sale later this year, the 2017 Camaro ZL1 will be priced at $62,135 for coupe models and $69,135 for convertibles. Prices include destination charge, but not tax, title and other dealer fees. The 1LE package is a $4,500 MSRP option on Camaro V-6 LT coupe models and $6,500 on the V-8 1SS coupe model. For LT coupes, the 1LE package features the Camaro SS’s FE3 suspension, while the 1SS benefits from the ZL1’s electronic limited-slip differential and FE4 suspension with Magnetic Ride dampers.

“The Camaro ZL1 offers supercar performance with daily-driver refinement, a combination that stacks up against any other sports coupe – at any price – around the world,” said Steve Majoros, director, Chevrolet marketing.

“Building on Chevrolet’s well-established recipe for track-focused performance, the new 1LE packages expand the performance envelope of the Camaro SS and, for the first time, the Camaro LT,” said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer. “You’ll be hard-pressed to find more track-capable cars in their respective classes for the money.”

Yes! THANK YOU!!!

$62,000 for the ZL1 base, and $44,000 for the 1LE, great job very fair pricing. Also 11:40s @ 127.

[clanky]

Nice, it really did come in cheaper than a lot of people thought. I've got some hard choices before me now, mod the hell out the SS or wait and pick up a ZL1 either new or used in a couple years.

[Heavymetal454]

11.4 on street tires with no prep. That equals a 10 second ride on DRs.

I'll take one. Thank you very much.

I'm having mixed emotions. The performance numbers aren't quite where I expected them to be. It's not a significant jump over the existing ZL1. 4/10 0-60, 5/10 1/4mile, nothing really in cornering and braking.

This is in its raw form. Wait till some of us get our hands on one. Keep in mind this is a drive off the lot low 11 second ride. With drag radials it's an easy 10 second ride.

Don't worry, be happy.

I'd say it's a pretty good improvement.. GM braking and handling numbers have been conservative so we will see what happens when someone gets their hands on it.. It's quite a bit quicker top..

I'm not sure which I like better...the 1LE or the ZL1.

The 1LE has Mustang GT350 (with TP) near or equal track performance (and near straight line performance) for 10 grand less.

The ZL1 has higher straight line performance and likely equal or better track performance than the Mustang GT350R for a grand or two more.

Best performance cars available for the cost.

Great job team Camaro!

I was under the impression that the 2012 test results of 11.91 (?)
GM released on the auto transmission was with DR's on a prepped track.

Anyone recall?

[ZL1Danny]

So $62K for the ZL1 or $66K for a Grand Sport...Choices...I'm not sure which way to go here. The backseat in the Camaro is useless for me, but it definitely a very pretty car.

I'll have to think on this one for a bit. Any idea when we can actually go to a dealer and order one of these things?

Yes, you are correct.
It was a bit ambiguous though and a lot of back and forth between DR's or not. GM never officially answered that one.

This is a huge improvement over the 5th Gen numbers.
Trapping 127 vs mid teens is my #1 take-away.
