[Cobra Jet 429]

"about" 550hp and 550tq
Chicago 2011: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is the fastest, most powerful ever [w/video] — Autoblog
Actualy looks pretty good.
Hoods kinda fugly, but looks better than the charger!
And oh mah gosh the GT500 is gonna have competition now!

have to see how much is going to weigh... I have a feeling its going to be 200-300 lbs more then the GT500. I also have a feeling ford may toss a new blower on the next GT500 just for shits and giggles.

chevy had to come out with that beast... damn! i still like the 02 ss model better though.

 

[nckissfan]

backend still looks like crap, imo

 

[DriftwoodSVT]

Front looks ok, back end still looks awful.

 

[Root1022]

Doesnt look to terrible, I still dont like it though!

 

[HEMIHUNTER]

I thought they were going to put the Z28 label on that.
It's supposed to be powered by the same motor thats in the CTSV's.
The current Camaro [ v8 ] is 200lbs heavier than the GT.
I'd rather see a blower on the 5.0 motor. [ maybe on the boss ]

Can't polish a turd...

I hope Ford steps up the GT500 this year, just to rain on the ZL1 parade...Even if the ZL1 does not beat the GT500 numbers wise 0-60, 1/4 etc, the Mags will all still award it the medal in head to head comparo's.

This sure is an exciting time for the auto world.

I'm digging all of it. Thats goin to be a sick car when someone puts bolt ons smaller pulley & tune

 

[Steve@BAS]

How much do you think they will cost first year from dealers? Sky high like GT500s were when they first hit the showroom? I remember GM kinda killed the GTO by dealers jacking price way up when it first came out. Hopefully they won't be crazy. I like it a lot more than the current styling cues on the camaro.

 

[Sniperdog]

I wonder how much it will be?

 

[Bad500Chris]

I think it looks awesome. I would hope to see it on the road some day... :burnout:

 

[UFGatorGuy20]

I'm not a fan of the rear ends either. Just seems like something is missing...

Looks ok


That brake/suspension package will be trick as hell. I wonder if they'll use their two piece rotors?

EDIT: They sure as hell are using their two piece rotors. Right there is a very nice weight savings on the unsprung side of things.

Now the mullets can whip in the wind like wildfire

 

[ViciousJay]

I wonder how much it will be?

betting upper 40's - low 50's.. without MARK UP!

I test drove a CTS-V with the six-speed manual not long ago - the bastard ripped!

That combo in the Camaro is going to be amazing.
