AUTO RED BOOK REVIEW: 2012 CHEVROLET CAMARO ZL1

On The Cover Review: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

Chevrolet brought back a relatively unknown, yet important model name from the past for their latest entry into the Ponycar wars. In 1969, only 69 of the legendary, 427-c.i. ZL1 Camaros were produced, and today they are among the most valuable and collectable Camaros of all time. And the 2012 Camaro ZL1 is the most powerful production Camaro of all time. With a whopping 550-hp and 550-lb/ft of torque churning from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, the new ZL1 will give Mustang Cobra owners something to think about. This new king of the Camaros will be easily identifiable by a new front fascia and splitter, new body skirts, ground effects, and spoiler, and a louvered high-rise hood. It will also have adjustable Magnetic Ride Control, bigger brakes, and other appealing hardware. The Camaro ZL1 will likely be built in limited numbers, and it will no doubt be pricey, but for some people, it will all be worth it to have the fastest, most competent Camaro in history.
