The ZL1 is going to be my 50th birthday gift. Now I cannot wait to turn 50 in 2013.

Oh yeah the exhaust noise is hot.
Can't wait to see the car in some different colours and how much power the beast makes.... must say i prefer it with the SSX wheels (it's a personal taste thing i suppose). Oh and can we get off the whole Zed/Zee issue.... at the end of the day the language is English and in English it's pronounced Zed..... the end!!! I'm looking forward to some vids of the finished ZL1 getting the wheels driven off it |

I agree with OldScool that Camaros are about much more than the engine. Camaros are about all around performance, handling, styling, and affordability. I think it's great that Chevrolet offers an LS Camaro with 312 HP for less than $23K. I think that's a great value. I also believe that the ZL1 will be a great value given the performance it will achieve straight from the factory. The ZL1 is the 5th Gen Camaro for which I've been waiting almost 6 years to purchase.

I don't know why they say Americans are intolerant of people that speak English correctly. Would you have a problem with people that say ZedNaughtSix (Z06) too? ;-]

Hmmmmm...so sad when you make one wrong move with that pricey custom motor and have a very expensive pile of junk and a 4 wheel paper weight in your driveway, while we can take ours to the dealer under warranty when it grenades....muuuuhaaahaaahaaaa.. Besides...we will bracket race anyway...you can't purchase driver skills at the speed shop....

As for the colour of the car in the video, the fact that it was taken on an overcast day probably doesn't help it any ...

I just had it re tuned down to 650 rwhp down from 732 rwhp for exactly that reason. I wanted more streetablility and to keep the tranny, driveshaft and rear end in place until I can upgrade those components. At this level it drives just like a stock SS until I stick my foot in it and then there is no mistake that the torque and HP throw it forward with unmistakable vigor. My milage on our last rally which was from Denver to South Park (where cartman is from) up and over Hooser pass elevation 12,000 ft down thru Breckenridge and back up and over Loveland Pass elevation 12,000 ft and back to Denver. 242 miles round trip and averaged 22.5 miles per gallon. On flat land trips I am averaging 26 MPG. Now keep in mind 650 RWHP=750 Crank HP. There is no way to mimmick the magnetic suspension and that is clearly a nice upgrade and no one will be competing with that on the street. Can a aftermarket suspension be better? In terms of performance I think so but not in terms of overall streetable and quiet performance.
