RE: Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 gallery dribble
Thursday 19th January 2012
The 650hp, near-200mph Shelby Mustang GT500 might have somewhat stolen the limelight from Chevrolet's forthcoming fast Camaro, but the new 580hp ZL1 is still a pretty dribbleworthy beast.
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 gallery dribble
GM provides a feast for muscle car fans with a load of new images of its new 580hp Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
Especially since its 580hp, 556lb ft, supercharged V8 provides a 0-60mph sprint of 4.0 seconds and a top speed of 180mph, all for $54,995 (£35.5K in sterling-speak).
Anyway, we digress - because what you're really interested in, hopefully is looking at the following pictures.
So we'll shut up now.

Surprised they don't do 'em in RHD for our brothers down under. There must be a market down there?

Chevy went out and asked all RHD countries how many RHD models of the SS they'd sell and us and Oz said "naff all". With GM having nearly gone under, it was too risky to develop any further and the RHD model was scrapped. Worst part is the chassis was developed with RHD in mind, so it could well of happened (and nearly did).So we and Oz suck.
Having said that, it'll make a bargain LHD second hand as they are selling VERY well US-side. The ZL1, less so I suspect (it's more expensive than a stock Corvette) but that didn't stop 'em making the ZR1 and that's fantastic too (and proves that $100k is £100k).
I'm tempted to try and get one. I shouldn't.
