Also noticed they placed the "Fifty" logo on the bottom of the steering wheel.

I hope this is true, but GM also significantly bumped up the price on the C7 ZO6 and new CTS-V.

No pricing or ordering details have been released. But we’re expecting that past ZL1 customers should be able to afford this new car. There’s a lot of expensive equipment on this car, but they have no intentions of price gouging just because they can.

I like this part from the press release.

Finally – and unlike some competitors – there’s no need to purchase an optional package to make the ZL1 track ready. Track capability comes standard, with features including an impressive 11 heat exchangers for optimal powertrain cooling.

When we asked him if the new ZL1 was quicker around the track than the Z/28, he said, “The ZL1’s benchmark was the Z/28. And you know what benchmarks are for.” - Motor Trend

Good catch!

Proportionally speaking, the Z06 got less expensive than the Camaro SS did, generation over generation.

And the CTS-V has a new "because Cadillac" premium, as does the whole CTS line. It's artificially expensive.

Is the 10 speed going to be in all 2017 V8 auto Camaros?

No problem, it was my true pleasure!! I'm so psyched to get one of these things. Only sad part is I have to wait until next summer for a 2018 MY.
Haha, thank you so much and I am extremely happy that you got to be one of the very few to experience this!!!! And don't feel bad. I am right here if you need a shoulder to cry on! I will be ordering the 2018 year model so I do have to wait quite some time as well but at least I have a fantastic 2SS with a 1 of a kind history behind it! Because of that history though, now I will be keeping this one and adding the ZL1 to my garage instead of keeping the 2SS for 2 years and upgrading haha. Wife and family are probably going to institutionalize me FOR sure now.

Agreed. Even the SS and 1LE were right there with it... But with the ZL1, it's game over.

Well, sure, this car will beat a GT350R. It better considering it has 120 more hp and 220 more tq. Not really a direct fight.

There is hope after all. This car was named ZL1, not Z/28 like we all expected. Maybe there is something left...

Yes, and they named it correctly. That makes me happy.

I absolutely love this car. I like how it's instantly recognizable as a ZL1. There's no mistaking it for anything else. The 10 speed was a huge surprise. The ultimate high horsepower Camaro makes us proud once again.
