That's friggen fast. I wonder how it's geared and what it's top speed was in the straight away. I would also like to know what tired it had compared to the CTS-V. Very impressive to say the least.

 

I am also very curious to know what tires. I would be very surprised if it wasn't those new Michelin sport cup tires, and if it wasn't those tires...well done Camaro team!

 

Alright.

 

do we have a time of what the SS did it in? just for comparisson

 

Go stand in the corner...........

I just noticed this on the motor trend website by one of the editors in the comments section.

Nope , the Camaro ZL1 that was at our offices (the same one that set the Nurburgring time) rode on stock Michelin Pilot Sport tires — the same tires the Cadillac CTS-V uses.

 

so will the zl1 be running goodyears and michelins?

 

If by corner you mean where the large crowd is standing and Mr. Magnussen is wondering how a Camaro bettered his 2006 Z06 time....

Will you be making it out to LA show next month?

 

Unlikely - but you DO have a PM....

Wow...172 mph in the final straight, too.

 

I think is the tipping point where I am going to seriously talk to the wife about getting one of these. Gonna take a BIG downpayment, but it looks to be worth it, that is for sure.

Good question. I believe Chevy.com still lists it as coming with Goodyear tires specifically made for the ZL1. Doubt they would have 2 options.
