Just beat me to it. Just seen this on Jalopnik. "Production halted for an undetermined amount of time"

 

[zporta]

Probably halted...

Just did a quick check over there. Not much noise on it. I guess after getting bent over and having GM run a train on them for the past year, they're use to it. Anyways, i have a feeling the ROFL-copter is fueling up for take off.


Just found this one:

Apparently some believe the production was haulted to add more horsepower...............:rolling::rolling::rolling:

 

[UnleashedBeast]

Really? Camaro5 believes the production halt is due to a change in horsepower output?

Yeah right, lol!

Probably halted...

Remember the Hitler video, "Dig out the old business plan...and see how much it's going to cost to kill this turd again...and this time, it stays dead." hahaha!

It could be engine related I wonder if the hypereutectic pistons are an issue.

Read that article few weeks ago........I think the biggest complaint with the boss302 is going to be the brakes...comparing brake sizes with both the Zl1 and boss is that the Camaro brakes dwarf the boss's. But in the end i'll always remain faithful to ford but thats what i noticed when comparing specs

The ZL1 weighs 500+ lbs more than the Boss 302 too.

i remember when i first read about the ZL1 initial project being halted because they ran out of money and almost claiming bankruptcy only to get a hand out and secretly put the car back into production. **** that! and **** chevy! almost went to trade in my wifes chevy cruze RS....

and we just sold a 302 LS at our dealer for like 53k, they said it was marked up due to the fact its a limited production car, shits crazy.

Wow.

They've already (obviously) obtained the necessary certification's. Big money to change anything at this point in the game...

From here.

CARB certification application for the ZL1 is here.

Apparent software problem. Imagine the guy that had waited all this time for his ZL1 then had to give it back. Bet he is pissed.

At least GM is catching a problem before the cars hit the streets, unlike our buddies at Ford. Gotta give 'em props for not purposely setting up a crappy situation down the road.
