We already know that the ZL1 will have a 580-hp, supercharged V-8-engine similar to the one stuffed in the CTS-V and Corvette ZR1. We also know the ZL1 laid down an impressive 7:41.27 lap time around the Nurburgring. And today, we learn that its curb weight is 4,120 pounds (weight distribution of 51/49), which is almost 300 pounds more than the Camaro SS that sits below it. Yes, it is heavy and now we know why Chevy spent a lot of time developing and tinkering with the suspension and Performance Traction Management system.
The forum poster also revealed a rough list of color choices and standard and optional equipment. It appears the ZL1 will share the SS’s color palate, with the addition of an exclusive Crystal Red tintcoat paint. Standard wheels are 20-inch, forged-aluminum wheels finished in low-gloss black, while a five-spoke design is optional. An exposed carbon fiber hood air extractor appears to be standard. Also standard are a long list of niceties like a premium Boston Acoustics sound system, power adjustable seats, and rear back-up camera. The official pricing should be announced in mid-November, though the expected production run and dealer allocation is still unclear. We’ll be sure to update you with more details, but in the meantime
