Ok, no more mods for my 2010. Once again GM has produced an awesome car to wear the ZL1 badge! I plan on this being my next Camaro, possibly in the second or third year of production.

Maybe the 10 speed Auto will get the fuel economy to a number so that the gas guzzler tax wont apply. I sure hated giving 2 extra grand for that.

Maybe I missed it but is that center stripe standard or an option? Not really a fan of that option.

Also, I really hope the A10 isn't something like a $3,000 option. The A8 is $1,495. Hopefully the auto in the ZL1 will be the same price point.

I read When Mark Reuss was choosing what car company to work for he asked his father .....should he work for Ford or GM ? His father replied Look @ the performance cars @ Ford compared to GM. Fords got almost nothing worth mentioning. Thank God he listened to his father.
OMG Camaro has got a hair cut ... No more mullet. It's now world class. Hats off to the GM engineers from Cadillac,Corvette and Camaro. It truly is a team effort.

Quite sure that will be an option as it is on the ZL1 today.

Yeah, asked that over in the A10 thread as well.. It would be nice if they can get away with it.. LT4 + A8 in the Z06 didn't. :/

The 1st ZL1 had the coolest wheels ever, then they put them on the 1LE then there were aftermarket copies. Now everyone has them.

I love these new wheels. Keep them exclusive.
Very nice but the first thought that entered my head was "they will be a PITA to keep clean".

No, just the ZL1 for now. They intend to release the new transmission in 8 vehicles by 2018.

So this is the co developed trans by Ford and GM. Cool. I like how we are seeing two vastly different applications for its first release. The only thing that surprised me about the ZL1 like others said, was that it would get the 10 speed auto.

But, personally, I am not a fan of a TEN speed automatic. While the extra gears will allow somewhat better ratios, and better MPG's, it's just overkill in my opinion. Even BMW engineers said automatics are getting overly complex with this many gears. I just wonder about all those parts, all that shifting, etc, etc. On a short course track, or autocross it's going to be shifting a lot...which will negate any real gains, and will generate more heat. I will reserve final judgement until I read more and more so drive one, but I'd rather they put the A8 in it...

Some other thoughts. The wheels aren't as nice as the SS 1LE wheels in my opinion, and the sound is not what I was expecting. The whine of the supercharger is fantastic, but the exhaust sounds too raspy, not deep enough for my taste.
I was waiting for someone to say they weren't a fan. I know on the "other site" they have been syaing the 10 speed in the Raptor will eventually go to the mustang. Then I remeber people here saying it won't make any difference, 10 is to much but now that the Zl1 has it its the best thing ever lol. 10 Speed to me sounds cool, also sounds like a lot could go wrong lol.

I think the car looks great, there are just 2 details I don't care for. I don't like how the black from the hood carries over to the roof, and the giant quad tips.
