your going to be waiting a while... Report: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 production halted

It's nowhere near 3.5 to sixty. If you manage lower than low fours I will be surprised.

Well considering the ZL1 recorded 3.8 0-60 a 3.5 isn't that far fetched at all. With slicks I'd guarantee it would run 3.5 or better. There's NO reason to think it couldn't considering its power to weight ratio.

Low 4's? Please...

Best I saw was a 4.1 with car and driver, and they cut off the roll out, so more like 4.3. Worst was 4.7 by road and track.

Fast car if muscle type is what you are looking for, for me I'll take less HP as I like the style of the Z better and it's way lighter, still would be on your a$$ at the track in corners, just would pull away at the straights..

The Z was beaten on the track by the camaro even in 2010 with the SS. The ZL-1 holds some type of record I can't recall now on the nurburgring. There's no way a Z is winniing on a track on the camaro. The ZL1 camaro could probably beat us with ONLY 3 wheels on the car.

Not really, corvette is about 1,000# lighter, and has around 150bhp less and still only manages 3.95 in gm's most cooked tests. Noone has ever equalled them in oem configuration. I highly doubt the zl1 does 0-60 within 0.2 of the zr1. Not happening.

I still stand by shitty driving. I'd love to see 60' times for these slow 0-60 runs so we can see how badly the testers (or conditions) suck.

Test conditions were less than optimal, but it ran a 12.3@119mph.
Neither the MPH, nor the 12.3 are anywhere near indicative of a 3.5 second 0-60 in a RWD vehicle of 4100#.

Look at the CTS-V. Same engine, same weight (within a few hp/within a few #).

You don't see them running 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, slicks or not.

I've heard bad things about the Camaro's build quality. Steered me away.

Nothing wrong with the build quality. It's built in the number one most productive and best quality plant in North America.
