Well then this thing is gonna run sub 4's 0-60 then, at least they cured the biggest mistake the Gt500 had, putting the power down. This thing should rip pretty hard.

Huh.... they had mules with it. Was it dropped at the last minute.
Maybe it was to throw everyone off, but I know there has to be one person in this forum that might know ...right Jason?!

I drove the CTS-V Coupe a couple weeks ago, and while it was fast I'd really like to see this be faster. I agree with your estimate, but I worry that it being 200lbs lighter than the V won't make for too much of a difference. I wonder if the suspension is that much different.

edit: I should clarify that this car will be awesome none the less. The idea of manual ONLY will really set an image for this car.

Nah, I don't know. One thing to remember, mules are used to test various things. For that car, they might have been testing HVAC or something unrelated to powertrain/drivetrain. Or, they originally wanted to build a case for the A6 to be an option and did some initial driveability testing or something similar before the idea was decided to not be implemented.

The biggest problem with mules and spy shots and all that is people assume that what is on it is exactly what will arrive in the dealerships (remember the black mirrors on the white car, or the test mule headlights?). Not always so. There are so many things that can change right up to start of production. Sometimes, even the entire car gets canceled. It has happened.

It's like Alcantara you find from Porsche, Lambo, and the likes. If you've ever driven w/this it's a blessing.

Any way you look at it, the ZL1 looks to be an exciting car like none other. Come about 2016, start scanning Ebay and Camaroz28.com classifieds for what should become one of the greatest collectibles in Camaro history.

Excellent statement! Remember the Trans-maro? You gotta find those old pics and post them up.

If it is anything like the one in the CTS-V.... i didn't want to let go of the steering wheel after doing 3 hard laps around West Palm Beach International Raceway...

it just felt so... NICE... good grip... good feeling... almost sensual....

At least we have the camarozl1.com domain. If they don't bring back the Z28, we'll have to change the site to CamaroZL1.com or CamaroSS.com Personally, I like CamaroSS.com (See Sig )

The big question: What does this price tag do to the interior? This plastic thing is slowly turning me away from GM.

I think they hit a home run with this. The only thing better would have been the LS9!
