Zl1 to start at 54k all the info here Good morning Camaro Comrades, Firebird Friends, and Corvette Cousins! For Release: Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2011, 9 a.m. EST Camaro ZL1 by the Numbers: 3.9 Seconds, 184 mph, $54,095 DETROIT – The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Coupe accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 184 mph. Starting at $54,095, including Performance Traction Management and Magnetic Ride suspension, the ZL1 delivers supercar levels of performance and technology for the price of a sports car. “From the original Camaro to the current Corvette ZR1, Chevrolet has a long history of delivering world-class cars that outperformed competitors at several times the price,” said Chris Perry, vice president, global Chevrolet marketing and strategy. “The ZL1 is no exception. There are very few cars at any price that can match the power, features, and track-capability of the Camaro ZL1.” The Camaro ZL1 Coupe features a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $54,095, excluding delivery fees and taxes. For that price, the ZL1 compares favorably to much more expensive cars: Base price Horsepower Torque Magnetic Ride Camaro ZL1 $54,095 580 556 Standard Audi R8 GT $196,800 560 398 Standard Maserati GranTurismo $122,800 405 339 Not available Mercedes SLS AMG $185,750 565 479 Not available Supercar Performance The heart of the Camaro ZL1 is a supercharged 6.2L engine is SAE-rated at 580 horsepower (432 kW) and 556 lb.-ft. of torque (754 Nm). – making it the most-powerful production Camaro ever. The LSA features a Roots-style blower with an efficient four-lobe rotor set and compact intercooler The ZL1 also features a standard dual-mode exhaust system, with vacuum-actuated valves in the exhaust pipes for a refined exhaust note at low speeds as well as a free-flowing system for peak performance. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. With either transmission, the Camaro ZL1 delivers performance that rivals some of the world’s fastest supercars: Manual Automatic 0 – 60 mph (from rolling start) 4.0 seconds 3.9 seconds 1/4-mile (from a rolling start) 12.1 sec at 119 mph 12.0 sec at 119 mph Top speed 180 mph 184 mph Max lateral grip 1.0 g 1.0 g With 0 to 60 taking less than four seconds, the acceleration of the ZL1 is just awesome,” said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer, “but horsepower is only half of the story. The ZL1’s most significant measurement of performance is lapping the Nurburgring in 7:41.27. That’s astounding for a 2+2 coupe, and a great testament to the acceleration, braking, grip, and balance of the Camaro ZL1. It is the well-rounded performance of the Camaro ZL1 that will set the bar for the sports-car segment.” Exclusive, track-capable technologies To deliver that well-rounded performance, the Camaro ZL1 comes standard with several trackcapable technologies that are exclusive to the sports car segment. For example, the Camaro ZL1 is the first sports car to feature the third-generation of Magnetic Ride. This advanced suspension system employs valve-less damping and Magneto-Rheological (MR) fluid technology to varies the suspension firmness to match the road and driving conditions. “Traditional suspension systems at some point compromise ride quality for road-holding grip and body control,” said Oppenheiser. “With Magnetic Ride Control, we can offer customers the best of both worlds: A comfortable ride that makes the ZL1 appropriate as a daily driver and the incredibly precise body control that makes the ZL1 so enjoyable on the track.” Also standard on the Camaro ZL1 is Performance Traction Management (PTM), which is exclusive to General Motors. First introduced on the Corvette ZR1, PTM is an advanced system that integrates magnetic ride control, launch control, traction control, electronic stability control and electric power steering response to enhance performance. For example, the launch control feature (manual transmission only) automatically modulates engine torque for the best-possible acceleration without excessive wheel spin. When the driver pushes the throttle to the floor, the system holds a predetermined engine speed until the driver releases the clutch. Then, the system modulates engine torque 100 times per second to maximize the available traction. Similarly, on a road course, the driver can apply full throttle when exiting a corner and PTM will automatically manage acceleration dynamics to maximize exit speed based on available traction. In addition, the Camaro ZL1 has been engineered to be track-capable from the factory, including a rear-differential cooler, an integrated engine- and transmission-oil cooler, and brakecooling ducts as standard equipment. As such, the ZL1 offers many technologies and features not available on the Ford Shelby GT500: Camaro ZL1 GT500 Magnetic Ride Standard Not available Performance Traction Management Standard Not available Factory engine and transmission coolers Standard Dealer-installed option Factory brake cooling ducts Standard Dealer-installed option Factory rear differential cooler Standard Dealer-installed option Additional features and options The interior of the Camaro ZL1 features standard leather seating surfaces with sueded microfiber inserts, and heated, powered-adjustable front seats. Standard technologies include a nine-speaker Boston Acoustics® audio system; USB and Bluetooth connectivity; and rear-park assist with a rear-view camera display integrated in the center rear-view mirror. The Camaro ZL1 is available with six options: x Six-speed automatic transmission with TapShift controls is $1,185 x 20-inch, bright aluminum wheel package is $470 x Power sunroof is $900 x Stripe package is $470 x Exposed-weave carbon fiber hood insert is $600 x The suede package, including sueded microfiber accents on the steering wheel, shift knob, and shift boot is $500 The Camaro ZL1 Coupe will go on sale in the spring of 2012, as a 2012 model. The Camaro ZL1 Convertible will go on sale in the summer of 2012, as a 2013 model. Pricing for the Camaro ZL1 Convertible will be announced later. FROM CAMAROZ28.COM Al O responds to the Mustang 650 hp Camaro Nation: As you know, the blogs lit up with the announcement of the new 650-horsepower Mustang GT500, and I wanted to give you my perspective on the latest challenge from Dearborn. The Mustang has been playing catch up since the moment the fifth-gen Camaro arrived in 2009. Since then, Camaro has been the best-selling sports car in America, indicating that consumers know which car offers the best performance, style and safety. It is no coincidence that Mustang has introduced three 100-horsepower increases to keep pace with Camaro: First their V-6 was bumped to 305; then their V-8 went to 412, and now the GT500. Even with the 100-hp increase, the 2013 GT500 will still not match the technology and sophistication of the 2012 Camaro ZL1. The days of "no replacement for displacement" are over, and it's not enough to be fast in a straight line. With the Camaro ZL1, we set out to deliver integrated performance, and be equally good at acceleration, braking, grip, and turning. As you will soon see, that%u2019s why the Camaro ZL1 will set the performance benchmark for the segment. Our approach was to make every Camaro ZL1 fully track-capable, from the factory. As we announced today, the ZL1 Coupe will start at $54,995 with standard Magnetic Ride Control, standard Performance Traction Management, and standard track-capable equipment such as a rear-differential cooler, brake cooling ducts, and an engine and transmission cooler. None of our customers will have to buy extra options - or modify their ZL1 - for track-day usage. That is not the case for the current GT500, or their new car. For Mustang fans, you're welcome. Clearly the Camaro has encouraged Ford to throw everything they can at us. For Camaro fans, trust me, we are always listening to your feedback, and working hard to keep the Camaro in the lead. Al O.

I think the price is right on target w/the gt500 shelby. 54k is a lot of coin, but a 2ss w/some addon's costs 40+...throw on a s/c alone and add around to that price 8g's, plus all the additional add ons will put it at that cost. Being its a special release you do have that collectibility and desireability aspect too. Yes its cheaper to buy a 1ss and s/c or turbo it but most buyers don't want to go thru the hassle and void their warranty..if you can buy it outta the box like that and aren't a wrencher, its the way to go. |

The warranty and magnetic ride is the reason I would consider this, my car when done should be faster and put down more rwhp and cost me less but I can't handle like that thing and my warranty well I have no warranty Price isn't too bad its the dealers that will make it a disgrace with dealer fees Im just happy they are making it. In 2005 I never thought this would happen again and it looks like we are living in the golden age of muscle. |
