Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 - Performance
Base Price: $55,250
Simply put, the ZL1 is the quickest Camaro that Chevrolet has ever made. It will run through the quarter-mile in less than 12 seconds and blast all the way up to 184 mph. Power hounds can choose between a six-speed manual and automatic. But the ZL1's excellence isn't based solely on its prowess as a sprinter. This Camaro will swallow up bumpy back streets and tackle curvy canyon roads with a deftness usually reserved for a European sports car and rewards every action you take with smoothness, refinement, and ease of use. That's impressive, considering this is a car with a monstrous 580-hp V-8 under its hood. The ZL1 comes packing all the hardware you need for a day at the track, from big brakes to coolers to a five-mode Performance Traction Management system with launch control. But the Chevy's enormous potential at the dragstrip or racetrack doesn't compromise its everyday drivability.
