This is one Bad A$$ Car. There are to many pictures to post here, but you can check them out on Camaro5 along with all the specs.

Love the car. My only gripe is that for the price it should have the heritage grill.

How heavy is this? That's kind of a bummer that there's only 550hp WITH a Supercharger already on it. There's nowhere to go...

A look at the ZL1:

Looks wicked.

There's definitely room to grow. I'm sure it's detuned to 550 hp...Look at the Hennessy CTS-V putting out 700 hp...


My only gripe is that I think the routing of the hoses at the front of the engine looks pretty odd.

I wast thinking the same thing, sort of ruins the aesthetics of the entire engine compartment.

Curious on a list price though...

Sweet ride but I need a 4 door... I wonder if the US spec Chevy Caprice/Lumnia (G8) will ever have a ZL1 package.

Highly highly impressive.

Plus, using the ZL1 moniker means they can now come out with a Z28 that is not only true to the original but also counter the new BOSS 302.

...er, I hate to spoil the party, but hasn't SLP already started building ZL1s? I seem to recall seeing ads for it in C/D about 2 months ago...

SLP's ZL line is different, and GM has stated they will allow SLP to continue with it. The ZL1's that SLP built were a limited rn of 69 cars, but the ZL427/454/560/585 are ongoing packages. The comparable would be the ZL585, which has a bit more power than the new ZL1, but does not have the MRC suspension (that's the big difference, there are others).

My comment was just that it's strange to have two different Camaros made by two different companies with similar construction with the same name. At the same time.

Or am I just strange?
