Unprecedented levels of refinement, track capability and drag-strip performance

DETROIT – The 2017 Camaro ZL1 is poised to challenge the most advanced sports coupes in the world in any measure – with unprecedented levels of technology, refinement, track capability and straight-line acceleration.

“The Camaro ZL1 is designed to excel at everything,” said Mark Reuss, executive vice president of Global Product Development. “It’s a 2+2 coupe offering incredible performance – acceleration, handling and braking – with the highest levels of technology and perfect chassis damping, making it suitable for everyday driving. It will compare well to any sports coupe, at any price and in any setting.”

Acceleration for the ZL1 is delivered with a new supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine estimated at 640 hp (477 kW), and either a six-speed manual transmission with active rev matching or an all-new 10-speed automatic. Handling capability starts with the lightweight, stiffer structure of the all-new sixth-Gen Camaro, married with Magnetic Ride suspension and an electronic limited-slip differential. Standard technologies include Driver Mode Selector, dual-mode exhaust and advanced connectivity features.

The Camaro ZL1 goes on sale late this year.

Questions I have been asked so far:

How much does it cost? Pricing will not be announced until later this year when they are getting ready to build it. Probably late 4th quarter 2016.

What are the 0-60 times? 1/4 times? 'Ring times? No times have been announced as Chevrolet is still working on the car and tweaking things. They will probably be working on it right up until they are ready to go to production.

How much does it weigh? 200lbs less than the 5th Gen ZL1.

Did they fix the cooling issues with the LT4 supercharger motor that they had in the ZO6? Chevrolet assures us they have learned from their problems and have corrected them.
