| 2012 ZL1 Camaro |
The 2012 ZL1 a supercharged LSA V-8, borrowed from the Cadillac CTS-V. Producing an estimated 550 hp with the actual output of the original and 550 lb ft of torque from the 6.2 liter beast, this burly Camaro is seemingly built to tear up drag strips rather than road courses. A short-throw, six-speed Tremec manual transmission.

The ZL1 comes stock with the beefed-up driveshaft and differential with asymmetrical half-shafts; the latter twist fat, 305-width ZL1-specific Goodyear Supercar F1 gumballs. The 20-inch forged wheels are 10 inches wide in the front and 11 in the rear, but the overall wheel and tire package is 22 pounds lighter than the Camaro SS's narrower 20-inch setup. It is estimated the ZL1 will cover the 0-to-60-mph run in four seconds flat, while 0 to 100 mph should be accomplished in 9.9 seconds and the quarter-mile in 12.5. Two piece Brembo rotors, measuring 14.6 inches in the front and 14.4 in the rear, and six and four piston calipers are the centerpieces of the braking system. Like the the Corvette models drivers can choose between Tour and Sport settings. The ZL1 also marks the introduction of a new electric power steering system. Weight is said to be about the same as the Camaro SS's, which puts this Camaro at 3900 pounds.
