640hp sounds nice, especially in that new lighter chassis. looks like it will be priced around $60k. im actually thinking of this as a serious alternative to the 350. what do you guys think?

I have a fetish for both Scion TCs and cheese graters. As the ZL1 is the offspring of the two, I've cancelled my MSRP R order and am waiting for the ZL1.

Does the backend look a little puckered?



The front end looks a little busy for me.

chimpanzed - i'll gladly take your msrp R order, who do I call? pm me if your for real.

snoopey49 - I think the 350 takes the cake in the looks category for sure, but I still find the zl1 attractive except for that 2x4 rear spoiler, but it has 640hp.

Not at all interested. Despite being their latest Halo car, I really dont class it with the GT350, regardless of on track capability.

Im guessing more GT500/hellcat owners being intrigued by it.

wait 6 months and you can pick one up for sticker

I wouldn't consider getting the zl1. Actually, any camaro in the current gen since the styling is so dated already. If they got rid of a bunch of those body lines, I would maybe consider it.

Let me just state for the record that the new Camaro ZL1/SS are probably the most hideous cars to come out of the USA in years. The Camaro especially is like lipstick on a pig, I can't get over how awful that car looks in person. If they dropped the price down to $19,000 for the ZL1 - I still wouldn't even consider it. And for the record i'm not a brand enthusiast I just like great cars.

You would be making a bad call and the day you drive a GT350 you would regret your decision for life...no question.

I think its pretty badass.:shrug:

Not that I can afford either car, but the ZL1 would never interest me. The previous gen ZL1 was supposed to be all that and a pack of gum but once it hit the streets, it was a major flop. The weight is attractive and that's about it. Not interested in the HP in the least bit.

lost. my. shit. :lol::lol::lol:

Does the backend look a little fantastic?

Technically the car sounds great

Aesthetically it is not inspiring to the soul.

Would not give up the GT350 which provides both

FOr the ZL1? More like 6 weeks tops

 

[AustinSN]

It will be a performance bargain at $60k. I wonder when pricing will actually be out.

I had an SS as a rental a couple of years ago and it scared the hell out of me, just couldn't see out of the thing.

First and foremost I like the character of my GT350, I doubt very much the ZL1 is going to match the experience.

Not even a bit interested in a ZL1, but I am glad it exists. Great time to be in to performance cars!

 

[93oh]

Zl1 will be a ferocious ride. However I drove New Camaro you cannot see out of it at all. The ergonomics are difficult.

What a great piece of engineering wasted in a Camaro

First, honestly I can not afford any of these cars. I think that 10 speed auto, shows the world America can build a great transmission, despite our politics and degrading social fabric.
But if I could, I don't fit in a Camaro / Vette etc. I'm also claustrophobic with a bad back, so why would I want to be uncomfortable sitting in a cave?

Mustangs are a nice place to be, even sitting in a parking lot or traffic.


Older early Gen 5 S/S did not ride/handle particularly well, plus you can't see where your going. Alpha apparently is a great improvement, even of the later Gen 5 units..
Now if this platform had was an Impala SS sort a working mans Caddy, etc. That would suck, because I'd want one!

Only if it had a grown up sized blower on it, instead of a screaming little kid.

Well said in a few words.

Would not give up the GT350 (or my 03 Cobra) which provides both

Who makes the styling/ergonomic decisions at GM for Camero and the Corvette?

They should be designing cars for N. Korea.
