Zl1 at my work

[GN 1220]

To me the fact that any average Joe can walk into a Chevy dealership and drive off with a varified 500+ hp car with ps, pb, air, cruise, leather interior, etc. is truly amazing. It seems not that long ago that a 220 hp IROC Camaro ot Mustang GT was the $hit! If you had a 500 hp car and were running 12's or 11's with a gutted interior, roll cage, tubbed, etc you were the king of the 'hood! Everyone hated the "electronic crap" that was coming out on all the new cars, mainly because we had no clue how to deal with it. Now look at things. We thought these smog mobiles were the end of the hp wars. Little did we know it would be better than ever. I mean, 500hp is L88 Corvette and LS 6 territoy!

But I'm more partial to the new Challengers. I love the looks of the SRT8.

2011 and up Hemi computers are UNTUNABLE!

For the same price you can have a factory warranty, trash it at the track all you want and your covered. Yep GM warranties track use on the ZL1 :-)

Not trying to argue. I am just stating that bang for the buck, I would go with a ZL1.

IF I was in the 5th gen market I would buy a uesd one with 10 - 19K on the clock and build it from there.

Despit building and tuning a bunch of sick 5th gens..
they are not my deal...

Same old ugly camaro, but with a more badass motor. Not interested.

ok...a factory supercharger is cool......but IMHO the Zo6's 427 NA 500hp is still WAY cooler...now if they put that in a camaro......I would hit it.
