Congratulations on finally getting the car. I think some of the ZL1s got engines from Bowling Green when the strike happened. I could be wrong but I thought I read that somewhere.

When I saw the engine builder plaque that said Tyrone this is all I could envision:

I see mike priest is still at it; he built the engine in my '15 Z/28
I didn't think the LT4 was hand built... |

My 2020 ZL1 has a plaque also. I ordered it a day before the strike. Why do some have it and others Don’t ?

Maybe GM used some of the engines destined for the C7 ZO6 to get the ZL1s built! If that’s the case then those will be sort of rare ZL1s! Just my idea on the subject.

Hi guys,
I also have a Nov. build 2020 ZL1 with an engine builder plaque on it. I first thought it was because of the GM strike...and that it caused a short supply of LT4's... since ZL1Affair & I had the same TPW before the strike. But I did some looking around and found out some stuff, ...but first I'd like to state that I am not a Camaro expert... but rather a passionate enthusiast of the Camaro. By looking on the net for new 2020 ZL1's for sale... I noticed that random cars are built with these hand built engines with the plaque. The lowest VIN car with a hand built motor was in the 900's ...then randomly some others showed up along the way. Most of my findings were in the 22000 to 24000 VIN number range, ...but then again ,these are ONLY the one's I was able to positively verify by a clear picture of the front of the supercharger. My findings show that approx. 17% of 2020 ZL1's have these hand built engines...regardless of the transmission type or ZL1 version (1LE or not) , and in Canada they seem more rare. In Canada they seem to be a little more than 10% of 2020 ZL1 builds. Why... again...I'm no expert nor do I work in-house at GM , ...but I think that since the new 8th Gen Corvette has begun production , the Bowling Green plant must of had LT4 engine surplus and must have sent them to Lansing in batches. Anyhow, its a very interesting subject. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Have a nice day guys... Andrew |

My 2020 1LE also has a plaque on it.
It is in storage at this time and if I remember mine was an early build. |

Found this video that was shot at the PBC in Bowling Green. Pretty cool to have a ZL1 with a personal touch.

Thanks! Finally drove the 200kms to go see it. She's just as she was when it rolled off of the transport truck. DIRTY! I don't want them doing the wash and PDI as I would get much more pleasure doing it myself and taking my time. Its going to stay in Hanna at the dealers private garage until spring when I show up with the trailer... LOL!

I agree or we can start a new thread. Who's ZL1 has the hand built PBC LT4?
BTW, who built yours? I can't make it out in the photo.
