Description: We already know the following: the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 will have 580hp and 556lb-ft of torque. More impressively, however, is that it lapped the Nurburgring in just 7:41.27. Being the fastest Ca...Add Comments1
Anthony Villa-GarciaNov 13, 2011 I would have never guessed it would be the fastest camaro :P
Ken MadisonNov 13, 2011 He's upset the smoke isn't hitting the deck on the trunk then sliding down into the exhaust tips.
In all honesty, that's very good for a car designed to be retro, not have modern functional aero works out the rear.
Description: Specifically, the aerodynamics team needed for it to generate enough downforce in order to improve handling at speed while minimizing the amount of increased drag that could reduce fuel economy and it...Add Comments28
Mario CallirgosNov 15, 2011 Ford already had decent suspension and they honed it even more at the ring during the the new gt500 development Plus 70 more hp
Kenny StoutNov 14, 2011 The new shelbys will eat the ZL1. 640 horse and 5.8 liters. Nobody cared too look that up though when trash talking em. why would you? It'd probably hurt all your feelings. And beating a super snake? Come on...
Dexter CorderoNov 14, 2011 If that wasnt the case, I doubt $50k will buy you 580 American hp. American autos suck period. But I understand the cult following from folks that make a living out of them.
Dexter CorderoNov 14, 2011 Of course American cars are competitively priced - they have to, or else imports will eat their lunches. And let's not forget, Uncle Sam is, after all, giving GM a helping hand to stay competitive in the face of competition from foreign makes...
Mike BradnanNov 14, 2011 It's a muscle car high end interior isn't a muscle car look. And it keeps price down. If they Porsche or Ferrari the interior then it would cost Porsche or Ferrari money.
Victor Loveable-Huggable FrederickNov 14, 2011 I wouldn't trade my challenger r/t for it, but, it's puttin down some serious numbers. All car fans can appreciate that no matter it being a camaro or a pinto..... Ya dig?
Alanda BurroughsNov 14, 2011 Anybody that says Camaros don't last is a complete idiot. The Chevy Camaro has never been the most luxurious or well-appointed car, but they've never in their history (over 30 years by-the-way) been unreliable. Try saying that about most imports.
Truth is, the only imports that are reliable are the family sedans and economy cars. European sports cars have almost always been problematic, including...
Mario CallirgosNov 13, 2011 I had to rebuild my mustangs motor after 298k miles Pretty reliable
Avery WilliamsNov 13, 2011 This car is going to be the ultimate camaro of this century ever!!! Totally love it and I know it's going to be faster than the Shelby GT500 Supersnake.
Anthony J. MitchellNov 13, 2011 I wish they would maximum downforce that ugly interior.
Josh NegronNov 13, 2011 I love my LS2... I would buy it again in a heartbeat! And I wouldn't mind buying late model LS cars either. People will judge with their wallets, and judging from all the Camaro's already on the road--they'll do just fine.
Dennis RechNov 13, 2011 Is it better? By leaps and bounds. By the way, I put 100,000 on my 2002 Corvette and other than brake pads and clutch the only other thing to break was one headlight motor. I didn't baby it either, I ran the hell out of it.
Dennis RechNov 13, 2011 Scott, history doesn't mean a thing. Historically jaguars were constantly in the shop yet now they are some of the best cars out there. Ferrari and Lambo were constantly breaking yet the new ones are much more reliable. Is it perfect? No.
Callum MckayNov 13, 2011 @scott ive got a chevy truck with 430000km on it
Buddy RobinsonNov 13, 2011 Clarkson said he'd buy a zr1 over an r8 because the r8 was too drap and dreary, he also said that the r8 was a much better car
Vince DeMasiNov 13, 2011 Yeah gm was crap quality in the past but they have stepped up there game and you can't beat the price or the power
Shane CarrollNov 13, 2011 @Scott my buddy's Firebird (camaro clone) is reading 170K. Its no big deal
Scott GraceyNov 13, 2011 Bang for your buck this car is fast but don't go throwing quality around, this car might be fast but based on the past decades of American built cars the quality and reliability aren't there
Mario CallirgosNov 13, 2011 The camaro is has been second best to the mustang for a long time but this thing is so much better then the gt500, I can't see how people can hate. These cars are how normal people afford speed like this
Dennis RechNov 13, 2011 exceptions the two Europeans will spend more time in the shop and the cost will be higher. To me, that's quality. Built to run like hell and survive. Even Clarkson said buy the ZR1 over the R8 and he hates Corvettes.
Dennis RechNov 13, 2011 Chevy is building cars with near or equal supercar performance at 1/3 or less the price. The difference other than price is that you can drive these Chevys every day of the year. Put 100,000 miles on both this Camaro and an R8 or 911 and with few
Shane CarrollNov 13, 2011 @Micheal so by that logic a 458 should be about 10x more reliable than a Camry. Price and quality aren't exactly related
Michael BeachNov 13, 2011 I guarantee that bargain price is gonna show up with cheap quality. Just wait.
Jordan SmithNov 13, 2011 Other markets also can't match the price. Where else can you get a $50K car with 580 HP?
Shane CarrollNov 13, 2011 @Dexter too bad other markets still can't match power
Dexter CorderoNov 13, 2011 ...and so an American auto manufacturer is finally getting it as far as performance, handling, aerodynamics, etc. ... Things that European and Japanese makes have been thoroughly familiar with for decades.
Will ReveneNov 13, 2011 Nobody at GM is asking why it weighs 4300 lb.'s because it completed the nurburgring with a time that puts it right up there with porshe's Lamborghini's, Ferrari's, and other cars that cost up to 3 times as much as the ZL1. Obviously it's workin.
Matt MoellerNov 13, 2011 Sweet car but why is nobody at GM asking why it weighs 4300lbs?
Description: Everything from the front fascia hood, front splitter, front tire deflectors, rocker panels, and rear spoiler has been specifically designed to contribute to the downforce. Check out the video and see...Add Comments0
Jordan SmithNov 14, 2011 That actually is a ZR1 in the corner. It has the small opening in the hood where the engine cover shows.
Alanda BurroughsNov 14, 2011 Quinn if you hate Chevy's so much, why are you trolling them? I'm a Mustang fan too...but I don't have to hate to make myself feel good. You obviously got some real low self-esteem going on. Appreciate the Camaro for what it is and shut the hell-up!
Danny ScottNov 13, 2011 The hood isn't correct for it to be a zr1
Matthew LeonNov 13, 2011 I see a ZR1 in the corner
Avery WilliamsNov 13, 2011 I know the front of that car says," Move out the way or I'll run you over". My favorite car in the whole world right now. Total BEAST!
Callum MckayNov 13, 2011 I love the hood, its so badass
Brent BennettNov 13, 2011 A G.M. Car I'd spend my own money on!
Jordan SmithNov 13, 2011 Nice color. Goes good with this car.
I would have never guessed it would be the fastest camaro :P
