Engine
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Engine
Chevrolet has decided to use its most powerful engine ever in a Camaro: a LSA 6.2L supercharged V-8 engine that produces an estimated 550 HP and 550 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine is mated to a Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission that uses a 240-mm dual-mass flywheel matched with a 240-mm twin-disc clutch system to provide excellent shift smoothness. In order to harness all this power the new ZR1 will also have Magnetic Ride Control offering two settings depending on how quickly you want to get to work that day. Brembo brakes will be used on all four wheels with six piston calipers out front and four piston units at the back. Complete performance figures are not yet available, but we are sure this will be more than just a contender in its class.
Prices
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Prices
The new Camaro ZL1 go on sale in early 2012. Pricing will be announced later, but we think that it will cost somewhere around competition, and about $ 15 thousand more than the model SS. If we are right and this is included in the price of $ 50,000 the region than it will not be cheap thrills, as the Challenger SRT8, but it can set new performance records for Chevrolet and industry.
Competition

Any muscle car fanatic will tell us that the most important thing for any competitor to his Camaro Ford Mustang counterpart. Camaro ZL1 specifically has views of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. GT500 is equipped with a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 that produces 550 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque, which provides only a Camaro with a small advantage from jump. On the numbers are so similar, we can only imagine that the ball is now in the court of Ford to come up with a new model of Chevrolet to blow out of the water. It was a long time Chevrolet was the answer to the mighty GT500 and we look forward to ongoing wars car muscle.
