This 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 combines the unmistakable presence of Chevrolet's fifth-generation flagship Camaro with a heavily upgraded, professionally supported supercharged drivetrain. Finished in Victory Red over a black leather and microfiber suede interior, this ZL1 shows approximately 16,040 miles and has reportedly been under its current ownership since 2018.

At the center of the build is the supercharged 6.2-liter LSA V8. A supplied Speedtech Tuning session report dated October 7, 2021, documents two chassis-dyno pulls. The first produced 791.6 horsepower and 806.2 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. The second and strongest pull recorded an impressive 818.7 rear-wheel horsepower at 5,950 rpm and 821.1 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm using STD J607 correction.

The supplied build information describes a ported supercharger with a reinforced intercooler brick, while the accompanying Paragon Engines documentation itemizes a serious top-end and valvetrain package. Components include a custom Comp Cams 227/241 camshaft with a 118+3 LSA, Paragon Engines 11-degree LS3 cylinder heads, conical valve springs, stainless-steel intake and exhaust valves, billet rocker-arm stands, Smith Brothers trunnions, 7.400-inch hardened pushrods, and LS7-style lifters.

Additional documented engine components include a Cloyes billet timing set with dampener, LS9 seven-layer head gaskets, ARP head studs, an ATI harmonic balancer, and an LPE supercharger ring. The October 2020 Paragon Engines estimate totals $7,323.52 and also lists an upgraded fuel system among the supplied components.

Fuel delivery has been upgraded to support the engine's increased output and E85 flex-fuel capability. The supplied build information identifies Injector Dynamics ID1300 injectors, Radium Engineering fuel rails and regulator, high-flow fuel-system components, and custom ECU tuning. Cooling and airflow upgrades reportedly include an enlarged heat exchanger, upgraded intercooler cooling, a Cold Air Inductions intake assembly, and an oil catch can.

Power is sent through a Tremec six-speed manual transmission equipped with an MGW flat-stick short-throw shifter. A June 2023 invoice documents a Monster Clutch S-Series triple-disc clutch specifically configured for a fifth-generation ZL1. The clutch package includes a standard billet-steel triple-disc flywheel, remote speed bleeder, and billet release-bearing support. The documented invoice total is $2,044.97.

The custom exhaust system features long-tube headers and a freer-flowing exhaust arrangement, allowing the modified LSA to breathe while delivering the aggressive exhaust note expected from an 800-plus-rear-wheel-horsepower ZL1.

The chassis retains the ZL1's Magnetic Ride Control suspension and large ZL1-branded Brembo braking system. Its factory 20-inch five-spoke wheels have been powder-coated black and are wrapped in Nitto NT555 G2 tires measuring 285/35ZR20 at the front and 315/35ZR20 at the rear.

The Victory Red exterior is complemented by an exposed carbon-fiber hood insert, ZL1-specific front splitter, HID headlights with LED halo rings, fog lights, a body-color rear spoiler, rear parking sensors, quad exhaust outlets, and subtle ZL1 badging throughout.

Inside, the ZL1 features heated and power-adjustable front sport seats upholstered in black leather with microfiber suede inserts, red contrast stitching, and embroidered ZL1 headrests. Additional equipment includes a head-up display, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and locks, aluminum pedals, a Boston Acoustics sound system, and the factory auxiliary gauge package positioned ahead of the shifter.

AEM instruments mounted along the driver's A-pillar provide dedicated monitoring for air/fuel ratio and boost pressure. The additional factory console gauges monitor oil pressure, voltage, oil temperature, and supercharger boost.

Factory owner's manuals, warranty and assistance literature, OnStar and SiriusXM materials, Radium Engineering installation instructions, dealership materials, build documentation, parts estimates, a Monster Clutch invoice, and the Speedtech dyno report accompany the car.

With approximately 16,000 miles, a six-speed manual transmission, documented 818.7 rear-wheel horsepower, extensive supporting modifications, and desirable factory ZL1 equipment, this Camaro delivers a rare combination of modern comfort, aggressive styling, and serious supercharged performance.
