f you are a Camaro aficionado then this is your lucky day. Few cars embody the heart of the American automobile industry like the famed Camaro. We have been hearing about the new Camaro ZL1 for some time now and finally we get a look at some of the spec. Details about Chevrolet's new Camaro ZL1 have been hitting the internet thanks to a copy of the dealer's guide that was uploaded by Camaro5.com. GM has confirmed that the details are legitimate.
For starters, the new Camaro will feature supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that boasts an impressive 580 HP and a 556 lb-ft torque. This makes it the most powerful Camaro to date and it should be able to take on any muscle car on the road. The transmission will come in standard manual or upgraded to an automatic. The automatic will be a Hydra-Matic six-speed while the standard is Tremec six-speed.
The new Camaro is both wider and longer then it's current rival, the Shelby Mustang GT500 giving it more control on tight turns. The dimensions are similar to the Camaro SS but it weighs 250 pounds more. Given the power of the engine this should pose no problem what-so-ever.
As for colors it will have the option for nine different schemes that include, Black, Ashen Gray, Imperial Blue Metallic, Inferno Orange Metallic, Rally Yellow, Silver Ice Metallic, Summit White, Victory Red and the all new Crystal Red Tintcoat. Sorry, no neon or beige available. If you want a little more flare you can get stripes, a powered sun roof and a "Mohawk" carbon fiber hood insert.
The ZL1 will use the same Magnetic Ride Control that the Cadillac CTS-V and Corvette uses but it will also boast the Performance Track Management, a feature that allows five modes ranging from wet surfaces to a racing mode.
To help keep from flying off the road it will have Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G:2 tires that can mounted on your choice of two 20 -inch forged alloy wheels. One is a 10-spoke low-gloss finish or a 5-spoke option with a polished high-gloss clear coat.
The interior is chop full of creature comforts. It features heated leather high-performance seats with suede microfiber insert that will make your Lazy Boy jealous. Each seat will have six-way power controls as well, so you should be able to settle in at any position. Other features are alloy covered pedal s, a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a rear camera display and an auxiliary gauge boost readout. Of course, you will want to rock out while driving this bad boy, so to help you a long it will come standard with a premium 9 speaker audio system.
If you are wondering if you can afford it then start saving as it is expected to go in the low $50,000 range.
