2012 Camaro ZL1 (was: Z28)

flashburn · 02-09-2011, 12:13 PM

How much is the normal V8 Camaro? Isn't it like under $35k? I was guessing this would be about $42-$45k. So it would be slightly cheaper. I think it has to be at least a few thousand cheaper, or no one is going to bother.

Hmm... a loaded SS is going to take you well over $40k.

got ours for under 35k over a year ago when they where hot off the press.

Also for those wondering, my girlfriend traded her Corvette for the Camaro for the simple reason of needing a backseat. So yes, there are those out there that will choose the Camaro over the Vette simply because of the backseat. This ZL1 sounds like a blast but I wouldn't pay more than 45k for it personally.

Nice!

I was mainly referring to MSRP. I know GM deeply discounts everything they sell.

Well maybe they won't offer those options on the ZL1? I dunno, I'm not really interested in buying it, I just love to watch the Horse Power wars of the 21st century.

The problem is the HP wars of the early years are not the same, but two companies are fighting like it is (GM & Dodge). Weight is the new factor and while that is slowly being pushed up across all companies, many are finding ways to keep the same weight with tougher restrictions.

HP sells cars bro. I have a neighbor with an old charger RT, and he's completely convinced he can smoke anything

.

Most people are just idiots when it comes to cars.

Truth.

Like all the Scion drivers that try to race me because they legitimately believe that they can win.

The kill section of their forums is full of people claiming that with a "good driver" they can beat a 5.0, and they wind up believed their car is capable of it.

These rumors start when one guy races a Mustang with a 5.0 badge.... but isn't actually a 5.0.

Hell, you can pick up those badges at Autozone right?

nuTinmuch, I hear they changed the steering wheel, so they fixed one thing.

Keep in mind that the GT500 is a dead heat for the CTS-V at the track or the strip. I doubt the Z28 will be slower than the preexisting CTS-V.
