2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
The folks at AutoBlog got the opportunity to drive the brand new 2012 Camaro ZL1 recently. Besides being blown away by the contemporary styling, the team was awestruck by the overall improvements to the car over the “stock” SS model. The specs are enough to make your head spin and put your four-door hatchback to shame.
The Camaro ZL1′s 6.2-liter supercharged V8, which shares its basic spec sheet with the Cadillac CTS-V and Chevy Corvette ZR1, puts out 580 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 556 pound-feet of torque at 4,200 rpm. The official 0-60 time is 3.9 seconds and the quarter mile is dispatched in 12 seconds flat. Top speed is listed as 184 miles per hour, thanks in part to an aero package that includes a new front fascia, a carbon fiber hood with functional air extractor vents and an undertray with NACA ducts for cooling.
