Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Stops Off to See Inside Line After Nurburgring Run

but why they didn't list a weight for it, it is not common.. usually when they make a record they list weight and Bhp.

GM makes it a point for these cars to be bone dead stock. Why list weight/HP there when you just look up the stock numbers? In the case of this particular car, I'm wondering of they removed those few interior parts to make the difference of the roll case weight? Crazy thought, but maybe?

Jeremy - Solidarity! Down with the Butt-ass ugly Coupe! Gimme the sedan any day.

Part of the reason the new Mustang GT500 has such balls is due to Ford having to find a way to compete with the Camaro. Since release The Camaro sales have beaten Mustang sales in all but 1 or 2 months since I last looked. Personally, I think it's kind of sad that the Mustang isn't selling better as I think it's a better car all around. It's lighter, turns better, is much cheaper, and not terribly bad looking.

That ZL1 driver is more aggressive than any driver I have seen around the ring, want to see him in a zr1, would pull mid teens I bet.

they only listed the hp 558/580 and 0 for the weight
its not a 100% stock production model (+rollcage(nothing unusual tho), increases structual ridigity) as you can see by its bare-metal roof/partially stripped interior etc.. its a prototype/testvehicle.




nice
