The ZL1 Camaro is here!

This latest kick of creating so many "special edition" models of these cars is getting old fast.

So is this a limited deal or did Chevy just decide to use the ZL1 name on a mass produced vehicle? I'm sure there will be more then 69 of these built, but just how many? All in all it's a good looking car, but I could do without the foglight pods. They look out of place in my opinion, but that's not really an issue in the end. Nice work GM.

Interesting to note that the engine option in these cars cost $4160 alone...more than most cars at the time and that they weighed about 500 lbs, about the same as a 327.

Only 2 OEM transmissions could handle the torque...
Muncie M-22 Rock Crusher 4-speed and the turbohydromatic 400...

It is somewhat upseting that it is not a z28 because zl1 makes it seem unattainable but maybe its just me

The ZL-1 was the rarest of the rare and bad to the bone. I don't know why they just didn't stick with the z28.

Because Z28 slots below the SS. Naming it Z28 would have been stupid.

I think you need to go read up on your Camaro history. The z/28 was the top dog back in the day.

Oh, no you di'int.

yes, yes I did.

I think a lot of people will hold out to see how the gt500 stacks up against it.

WHY all the black fWONking plastic? God, I hate that, on any car.

Whatev,

Black plastic is cheap. Leaves room for mod money so I can decide if I want to chrome it up or color match.

That's a lot of my point.

You are actually advocating the manufacturers to cheap out on stuff so you have something to spend your money on later?

Nah, cause when you ask to switch it out to something nicer it's an automatic $500 increase on it. No sense in putting something quality there when I am liable to change it in the future anyways.

I agree. There's definitely no reason to put something quality on a $60K car.
