I don't know why this is a bold statement. The SS will probably come with the LT1, rated around 450-470hp, and come with the 7 speed manual or 8 speed auto. If it drops even 200lbs (which is then 500lbs lighter than the current ZL1, plus power to weight is BS if you don't account for anything else) and has a killer suspension or Magnetic Ride, I don't know why it wouldn't do as well as a ZL1 on a road course. Honestly, by this statement, all I'm hearing is that the 2016 Camaro SS is going to crush the new Mustang around a track.
And seriously, when was the last time that GM actually boasted about 1/4 mile times with the Camaro instead of road course times?

Well...options and packages will drive up $$$. I highly doubt a base SS is what he was referring to with ZL1 experience. I think for that comparison we should expect mid to high 40's.

I wouldn't call sharp Camaro edged styling with the old corporate grill "fresh". Rendering is like 6 years old.

Please read between the lines carefully:
" you think about Z/28 and ZL1, SS -- think about the satisfaction that a ZL1 offers you today off of current Zeta. Think about that satisfaction moved down from an accessibility and model-range standpoint. Think about that. If you like the ZL1 today, you're going to love the SS tomorrow." What Mark is trying to tell us, without actually telling us, is that Magnetic Ride Control will be available on the SS as an option. Just like how MRC is now available as an option in several of the new Cadillacs without having to by the "V" models. He is not implying anything about performance of the new SS vs. the current ZL1. He is only implying that there will be improved accessibility in range model. Accessability to what? In my opinion, it is the MRC that will be accessible in the SS. |
