Camaro ZL1 Z28 SS LT Camaro forums, news, blog, reviews, wallpapers, pricing – Camaro5.com

With all the Camaro ZL1 photos and videos that have been posted on our forums since its unveiling at the Chicago Autoshow in February, we felt that a ZL1 photos & videos compilation would be a useful reference for all the ZL1 enthusiasts out there in Camaro land.

We’ll be updating the compilation thread with ZL1 photos and videos until the car hits showrooms and begins delivery to owners early next year (ZL1 productions begin in the first quarter of 2012).

We encourage everyone to add to the thread if you see (or have) any photos/videos not already posted.

This past weekend, over 20 members from the H-Town Camaro Club gathered for a trip to Liverpool Texas to present a check to Kidz Harbor, an emergency shelter for abandoned, abused and neglected children. The club was able to double last year’s donation – to an impressive $7,000 this year.

The group started the day off with a buffet lunch in Pearland, followed by a spirited cruise down to meet up with the kids. It was a very rewarding (tear jerking) day for all who attended. The club’s donation goes directly into on-going renovations for an all-boys wing.

Think you got a good deal on your Camaro? Whatever it was, it was definitely no better than the deal a lucky Michigan man received when he bid for and won a new Camaro SS online for $5.28!

Mason took advantage of a brand new website called fastpennycars. This Camaro was the website’s first-ever auction. “We wanted to do something different, and there are no other websites selling new cars,” said website founder Kent Kern.

Kern admits that the website took a huge loss on this first auction, but he’s quick to point out selling the car for $5 earned them a ton of free publicity, which leads to new bidders. “It has helped, when the mustang goes up for sale on the 16th we are hoping it goes for more than the last one,” Kern said.

There have been plenty of videos posted of the ZL1′s eargasmic exhaust sound under throttle, but the ZL1′s supercharged LSA engine will play no small part in the ZL1′s overall sound.

INSIDE are some videos from Camaro5fest II and Camaro Nationals showing what delightful sounds will emanate from the Camaro ZL1′s front side. Listen to that supercharger whine, it sounds like the beast is just raring to go! And these weren’t even close to being at full throttle.

The Camaro may be one of the quintessential “American” muscle cars, but that does not mean its strong following is limited to North America. As our international members have shown in the past, there’s plenty of Camaro enthusiasm abroad as well.
