2014 ZL1 Chevy Camaro Earns Top Accolades

Top Gear: Camaro ZL1 Earns Top Accolade

by Chevrolet in the News on December 19, 2012

Men’s Journal’s annual listing of the “Gear of the Year” showcases one of the hottest new sports cars of the year: The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1—which also happens to be the fastest, most powerful production Camaro ever sold by the Bowtie brand.
It’s a title that comes courtesy of a supercharged V8 engine that displaces 6.2 liters, makes 580 hp and 556 lb.-ft. of torque, and can run from 0-60 in just four seconds. Then, as befits its position as the ultimate Camaro, the ZL1 can keep on running until it reaches a top speed of 184 mph. But as pointed out by Chuck Tannert, writing for Men’s Journal: “the ZL1 is much more than simply a Camaro with a powerful engine. Every aspect of the ZL1 chassis has been tuned for performance driving, from such obvious elements as adding oil coolers for the engine, transmission and differential, to subtleties ranging from changing suspension bushings to upgrading wheel bearings.”
Other benefits of the ZL1 according to Tannert include:
  • “[T]he car’s ability to seamlessly transition from track to street”
  • Precise steering
  • Power that is “linear and easy to modulate”
  • A highly capable suspension
  • Acceleration likened to a flying mammal leaving Hades
  • Impressive levels of “bang for the buck”
Of course, all that was for the 2012 model. For 2013, the Camaro ZL1 has been further fine-tuned with a new standard audio system featuring color-touch technology, a seven-inch screen, and the Chevrolet MyLink media system; other content enhancements include a revised rearview mirror with a new frameless design and an additional exterior color: Blue Ray Metallic.
With a price of admission that starts at $54,350, the 2013 Chevy Camaro ZL1 is on sale now—and remember, so is the brand-new 2013 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Convertible, the open-air high performer that opens at $59,545. To see a ZL1 Convertible in person visit Zeigler Chevrolet in Schaumburg at 1230 E. Golf Rd Scahumburg IL 60173 or call us at 847-882-2200 www.zeiglerchevroletschaumburg.com
