Camaro ZL1

Chevy released the HP numbers for the 2012 ZL1: 580 HP, not the 556 HP that was expected. All I have to say is... MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nothing in F***'s arsenal can come close to that! To steal a line from Rocky, "It's going to eat lightning, and crap thunder!"

Apparently, all they did for the motor was take the S'charged 6.2 out of the CTS-V, and add a low-resistance intake (yes, those things work!), and tweak the supercharger. Here's the full article: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2011/09/09/2012-chevy-camaro-zl1-packing-580-hp/?test=faces

My buddy just bought a 2012 GT500.... Looks like I'm going to have to throw down on a ZL-1, I just hope they don't demand a huge markup over MSRP...

Then again... making an SS have 599 reliable horsepower is pretty easy...

The ZL1 is a beast. I have had the opportunity to see one in person and hear it run. It is easily the most powerful production Camaro ever produced. I had a chance to bid on being able to drive it but that got way out of price rage quickly. I think the winner bid like $1000 and that was only to drive it in the parking lot at the Oshawa plant not like you could open it up and test it out.
