Vehicle Description
Here's a chance to own a true American Muscle Contender The Famed
ZL! The Awesome Camaro capable of creating Envy with those driving
other nameplates and Athletic enough to make most grin and others
cry with glee. We have only had a few of these come through over
the years as they are a Low Production Beast and we're always
Excited to take part in making someone's wishes come true when they
purchase such an amazing machine. Our ZL1 came to us via a very
good client/friend whom has much appreciation towards specialty
vehicles and exceptional value as in 'Bang for the Buck'. This
Camaro ZL1 provides that Value in Folds. Our car is PRICED TO SELL
as it has LOW MILES and is obviously a ZL1 Beast of a Camaro.
Priced right in consideration of prior accident history. We have
picture of incident prior to repair and as always a history report
is always available to our serious inquirers. Sinister Is as
Sinister Does The ZL1's aggressiveness makes its SS sibling look
tame. Listening to anything but head-banging heavy metal in the ZL1
feels inappropriate; Metallica's "Ride the Lightning" should be
loaded standard in every stereo. A wicked stance, steamroller
tires, a front splitter and a bulging hood with a carbon-fiber air
extractor give the car a "don't mess with me" attitude. All are
functional elements for achieving maximum performance. The ZL1's
serious hardware puts performance and durability ahead of comfort
and day-to-day drivability. The six-speed manual transmission is a
beefier unit than other Camaros use, with a rough and tough shifter
and clutch pedal. Use the ZL1 to teach someone to drive stick only
if you're looking to scare them away from ever driving a manual
transmission car again. Driving the ZL1 smoothly in traffic takes
an odd combination of finesse and aggressiveness that requires
concentration and effort. By the end of a long trip that ended in
stop-and-go traffic, I was ready to park the Camaro and take a cab.
The roughness is smoothed out when it's time to romp on the ZL1;
with faster shifts the gears engage smoothly and quickly. A
six-speed automatic transmission is optional, for $1,185. The
standard Magnetic Ride Control suspension adjusts shock firmness on
the fly and is in "go go go" mode all the time despite selectable
firmness modes. Buttons on the center console select Touring and
Sport settings. They have distinguishable differences over rough
roads: Touring is less bouncy compared with the Sport mode. Touring
is very aggressively tuned for a "comfort" mode; you won't mistake
the ZL1 for the downright comfy Cadillac CTS-V, which has a similar
magnetic suspension. A Performance Traction Management system has
five driving levels that vary both the Magnetic Ride Control
firmness and how active the stability and traction control systems
are for street and track use. The most aggressive mode, PTM 5,
unleashes a third suspension setting, Track, and deactivates
stability control. A menacing exhaust matches the ZL1's looks. A
standard dual-mode exhaust system increases exhaust flow during
heavy acceleration by opening up valves in the mufflers. Unlike the
Corvette's dual-mode exhaust, which has quiet and loud states,
there's really only one mode in the ZL1: loud. On multiple
occasions, the bass-heavy exhaust set off car alarms in our parking
garage. The exhaust is a huge departure from the Camaro SS, which,
by comparison, is as tame as an economy car. I'm all for loud, but
the ZL1's unavoidable drone wore on me after a few hundred miles at
highway speed. Grip It & Rip It When the time comes to blast into
turn one on a track, boy, does the ZL1 work well. Our playground
for tracking the ZL1 was Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin's Road America
road course. The ZL1 proved to be one of our staff's favorite rides
at an event that included about 30 track-worthy cars from various
automakers. The ZL1's rough nature on the street cleans up on the
track, where it's easy to drive fast despite all indications it
