"It has a 200 mph speedometer"

So does my '67 SS 427, its what I like to call "boundless optimism" because the old critter gets very unhappy at anything over 130...but its sure fun getting there!

 

VERY NICE upgrade! I certainly hope that your local dealer is a very big dealer with lots of clout. There will only be 69 of them made and I suspect that they are pretty much spoken for! What color would you get? I hope that you stop back in and tell us all about the car, with pictures! Best of luck!

 

at least 550 HP - holy crap

 

jerSSey HHR,

You can visit the Chevrolet website to view details of the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

The Camaro ZL1 name is derived from the ZL1 all-aluminum racing engine developed in the late Sixties and installed into a handful of regular-production 1969 Camaros. Only 69 were built with the engine, but they’ve achieved a mythical status among enthusiasts. This name also pays homage to the Camaro ZL1 of the past with the all-aluminum block LSA engine.

Chevrolet is targeting to bring Camaro ZL1 to dealerships in early 2012. Camaro ZL1 will include some current and new content such as six-way power driver and passenger seats, unique I/P and door panel inserts, Camaro ZL1 logo sill plates, steering wheel audio controls with Bluetooth® capability, wireless PDIM and USB, Boston Acoustics premium audio system, Rear Parking Assist, and Rear Camera System (displayed in the inside rearview mirror.)

The Camaro ZL1 will be powered by a supercharged LSA 6.2L V8 engine producing at least 550 horsepower (410 kW). It will be the fastest Camaro ever offered by Chevrolet.

Michelle,

That was almost a spam post.

 

Hey c2! Congrats on sellin' the SS and getting lined up with a ZL-1! I was drooling over an article on that ride recently myself! VERY nice Camaro!

I just wanted to say that some of your early posts here were very influential in my purchasing a V-Red SS back then also! I instantly was bitten by the bug when I saw your ride with your upgrades like the Brembo brakes and short-throw shifter. Good luck to you and hope to hear more of your new ride once you get her in the stable!

I believe you are confusing the limited quantity with the original ZL-1. Chevrolet will build as many 2012 ZL1's as they can sell, just that demand will likely be higher than supply initially. The Mustang Laguna Seca, and BMW 1-series M are examples of cars that are in fact limited production.

I am betting March 2012 for mine, but the order sheet is likely still 3 months away. This is going to be a rock solid performance car for sure.

Hey, thanks for the kind words everyone. Loved the HHR SS, and while I planned on keeping it much longer I got my heart set on the ZL1. Definitely will post photos!

 

c2vette-

Enjoy man..

& thanks for the link to the "super magnetic" oil drain plugs..
