ZL1 Camaro official HP n spec's

I don't think it's a repost..... and where was Al on this???



SAE certified power at 580hp @ 6,000 RPM and torque is 556ft-lbs @ 4,200 RPM

Power to weight is 7.24 pounds per horsepower

It will run the next-generation magnetic suspension that GM has been using for years, a generation ahead of the CTS-V and ZR1

The car will be track-ready right from the dealership, with all necessary transmission, diff and brake-cooling systems installed at the plant

The Camaro ZL1 will be fitted with huge Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires, P285/35ZR20 front, P305/35ZR20


I'm not a camaro fan..... but this will be a very fun car!

Saw the ZL1 at the Javits Center a few months back. First time I ever sat in a 5th gen was there, a new SS. Was extremely disappointed in all the blind spots and how I sat in the seat.

ZL1 appears pretty B/A though:

More info on the car here. 5 modes for the suspension and transmission, with the highest being set for "VHT-prepped tracks"

Oops, my bad - I didn't mean it that way - i e money.

I look at the "average joe" as someone like one of my brothers - he can barely handle the raw horsepower of his Prius.

Most drivers cannot handle the raw power/ handling of this beast.... so they shouldn't get it. They will kill either themselves or someone innocent.

I agree on this statement. Does money equal driving prowess? No, but there is a better chance that he/she with more money will be able to drive it.

The original ZL1 was more than twice the price of a regular V8 sports coupe. This will be a bit more attainable.

Yeah that's what I kinda thought you meant. Its just out of range for the average person but a true enthusiast will do whatever necessary to purchase one

Yup. Just about doubled the price, just like just will here.

You're right, let's base it all off one story of an 18 year old that has more money than brains? Good idea, why didn't I think of that........

On average, people with money are a better driver then people with less money.

Could you seriously bring up some facts on that? I see PLENTY of expensive cars......totaled. I just can't fathom how wealth has any relation to skill.

I would like to see stats for this as well. Age I can easily see, wealth, not as much.

Yeah, I can see maturity playing into it too. Not that it is measurable but definitely can be seen.
