I wonder if it is going to weigh more than 4,000 lbs.

I heard they were shooting for 3 tons this time.


More is better, right?

Yes. The heavier the car, the more gravitational downforce it produces.

flashburn 02-09-2011 11:34 AM
Well, since they didn't mention a weight, I'm going to guess it's heavier than their normal V8, which I guess makes sense since this one is supercharged, but still, I'm sure they could of found a way to trim the fat a bit for this model.

who would choose this over a corvette?

flashburn 02-09-2011 11:51 AM
Well, it should be a bit cheaper, and it has a back seat. Other than those reasons, no clue. Same reason the Z28 created issues for Chevy in the first place, it ate into the Corvette market (or vice versa).

Vegitto-kun 02-09-2011 11:57 AM
that thing is so ******* hot.

hmm really? this ZL1 is gonna be cheaper than entry level corvette? That new Grand Sport (or whatever it's called) corvette model should be same price probably.

m4a1mustang 02-09-2011 12:08 PM
Yeah I don't think it will be cheaper than the entry level 'Vette but some people just prefer one type of car over another.

flashburn 02-09-2011 12:13 PM
How much is the normal V8 Camaro? Isn't it like under $35k? I was guessing this would be about $42-$45k. So it would be slightly cheaper. I think it has to be at least a few thousand cheaper, or no one is going to bother.

m4a1mustang 02-09-2011 12:15 PM
Hmm... a loaded SS is going to take you well over $40k.

flashburn 02-09-2011 12:23 PM
Well maybe they won't offer those options on the ZL1? I dunno, I'm not really interested in buying it, I just love to watch the Horse Power wars of the 21st century.
