The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Is Even More Powerful Than Expected
We’ve never had any doubts about the new Camaro ZL1‘s performance. After all, it’s kicking out 631bhp and 640lb ft from its 6.2-litre LT4 V8, and weighs 90kg less than the old one. However, it turns out its power doesn’t quite match what was originally stated. In a good way.
Yep, it’s actually more powerful than Chevrolet’s original figure, which at the time was referred to as an ‘estimate’. Thanks to a leaked order guide posted on 6Camaro6, we now know the ZL1 is actually good for 641bhp (650hp). OK, so that’s only 10bhp more, but we’ll always take more power if it’s going. And as a bonus, the official figures reveal an extra 10lb ft of torque too.
The new ZL1 coupe should be landing at dealerships towards the end of the year, with a drop top version following in 2017.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Drop top Zl1.. Yeeeeess….
Looks like a kia from the back
The question is…
Can it corner as fast as it looks?
Since the new Camaro ZL1 has automatic option and so does the Fatcat, I’ll just leave this here
Now if they can just keep the car from over heating and going into limp mode after 3 laps, perhaps it will be useable.
Meanwhile at Chevrolet: “Errr… we overpaid the engine guy. Can we do with an intern for design?”
I don’t rate the spoiler, doesnt suit the car well. I would much prefer a lip spoiler
Why not…LS swap it?
Can’t wait for Hennessey to tune it
