How U Doin?

Knowing this car is coming is the only reason I haven't bought a '16 SS. I'll patiently wait until it's finally here.

I ask myself that question quite a bit. My collection would be amazing.

FANTASTIC writing trz174. Much, much appreciate it!
For me, ZL1 is just the better (performance) version of the 2SS. Still has all the bells and whistles for convenience but has the bad to the bone performance to go with that. Don't get me wrong, by no means am I saying the LT1 is slow but in comparison to the LT4 (or LS3 vs LSA), makes it look damn slow! I am hoping to get my hands on a "ZL1" in the future (2020 model is what I have in mind and I will be keeping my 2SS especially with the history of my car) given it does have the LT4, has all the bells and whistles my 2SS does as well as some upgraded suspension components (mainly eLSD like the 1LE). Only negatives will be the gas millage, insurance and perhaps rougher on DD ability (even though I do not DD my current 2SS nor will I the "ZL1"). 2SS to me has proven both performance and luxury can be 1 package and still be very affordable. Yes, I said it is affordable. The bang you get for the buck is priceless PLUS I can fit and be comfortable in it! Sadly though, since they announced the 1LE for 2017... We most likely won't know ANYTHING about the "ZL1" till this time next year... Thus "ZL1" is pushed off till 2018 and us learning anything about it really till 2017... Quote:

Thanks for the kind comments. A nice lady in Woodhaven MI suggested I do a few writeups since I was doing a lot of miles in the 12 ZL1 and 16 SS within a few days. I finally gave in and said I would - then she handed me the keys so I could drive the 16 SS back to Florida (just kidding Becky!). I did two fly and drives and it worked out great each time. But, driving up in a 12 ZL1 and back in 16 SS is a lot more fun.
I actually delete far more stuff than I post. At the risk of repeating myself, I miss the 12 ZL1 and even considered buying it back at one point. But, I'll focus on the 17 ZL1 auto and see what Al O and the Team can deliver. I haven't driven the 16 SS for almost a month and am heading south tomorrow night. Looking forward to a car show with Emerald Coast Camaros Saturday in Panama City FL and SGMP Test and Tune in Valdosta GA next weekend. Then it's back to work in Tennessee. I plan to take the 16 SS with me and do some weekend runs around the Smokies and a few up and back blasts at Tail of the Dragon. Again, thanks for the comments. |

No, at best it will be 3.7. Only adding 60-70 hp. Basically it will be the new cts v engine. Hellcats and gt500s aren't getting down to 3.4 at 750 hp. As someone said earlier. The zl1 is a full package. If you aren't going to track the car then mod it yourself. If you care about the suspension etc then it's worth the up charge. |

The Stingray accelerates to 60 in 3.7 seconds...the Camaro SS in 4. The Z06 manages a 2.95 second run....the ZL1 could do 3.4 - 3.5... |

The ZL1 will have probably 10 less HP than the Z06 and the only real difference in acceleration will be weight, which is what...250-300 lbs? Don't forget the camaro will have a smarter traction control system. I bet we see 3.3 officially and Sub 3.0 with 3 months of them in the street.
