You can get the MP3 version from their site here. If you just click on their 'download MP3' link, it will take you to a page where it plays it (instead of downloading it). To download, right click their link & select 'save as'

The video has also been posted to youtube:

We are very fortunate to have a man of Al's caliber as Chief Engineer. He's (as Brian said) a real car guy and has been a Camaro guy for years. He and his team have done some pretty incredible stuff in a short amount of time and with little budget to do so.....

A couple of things: You will always get 'blown off' (...I don't know that I'd call it that) when you ask a GM employee about future products. Don't take it personally - but please understand a couple of things:

1. -- this is a very competitive business. The reality is that when you lose, you can very well go out of business - the stakes are that high.....so future product plans MUST be kept a closely guarded secret. (...do you really believe that the GT-500 would be at over 600 hp had we not unveiled the ZL1 at Chicago when we did?)

2. -- GM is firing people with regularity from talking about future product plans......so again, don't be surprised when GM people won't answer your questions about future product plans.

If you had a really good imagination you might believe he said there could be a gen V smallblock powered Z28 before they're done with the 5th gen Camaro!

Thanks for the video. Were there pictures of the retro ZL1 concept?

"is there any way to disable the hill hold feature?"

"Don't press the brake so hard...."

I wonder if that is true. Maybe it requires a certain level of brake pedal force/travel to activate. Great find!

That was good. I like how Al explained the mass issue. It is something I have said for awhile. However, I disagree with him saying it beats the competition on the track. What I see from comparisons is it does not easily beat the competition on the track and in many cases the competition beats the camaro.
