Let's post all the pertinent details we know about the ZL1; along with links to threads and articles supporting the information and providing some good reading.
There's many people still that don't quite understand what the car is. Most of them are reading without accounts. I hope this thread to be useful to them.
Due to time, I'm going to start small...but please - post up any contribution you might think of!

Fun Facts- The 2017 ZL1 has slightly smaller frontal area than the 2015 ZL1
- All body shapes, including "overlooked" items like the bumper cover were extensively tested and formed in the wind-tunnel
- Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires mark the first application of Goodyear's new design...developed specifically for ZL1 and 1LE.
- Designers and Engineers trimmed the thickness of the front grill during wind-tunnel testing in order to reduce turbulence and increase airflow to the heat exchangers.
- Red seatbelts are included with the following colors: White, Silver, Red Hot, Nightfall Gray, Black, and Mosaic Black. All other colors get black seat belts.
- Al Oppenheiser remarked that the new ZL1 achieved levels of speed on the Nurburgring that necessitated using driving lines on track similar to open-wheel racers.
- The A10 features several "easter eggs". For example, when driving in a highway gear, you can hold the downshift paddle for one second and the transmission will immediately shift into the lowest possible gear for a pass.
- The manual transmission ratios allows the car to accelerate to 60 mph in first gear.
- The A10 programming, in "D" includes three different levels of shift calibrations, depending on how hard the driver is pushing the car.
Major Component Origin:- All Camaros are assembled in Lansing, MI @ GM Lansing Grand River Assembly (or "LGR")
- LT4 engines are built at the GM Tonawanda, NY powertrain plant and some are hand-built at Bowling Green, KY.
- A10 transmissions are built at the GM Romulus, MI Powertrain plant.
- All M6 transmissions are built in Queretaro, Mexico by Tremec (whose worldwide headquarters are located in Mexico City, Mexico.)
