The Future of American Muscle: Ford Shelby GT500 vs. Chevy Camaro ZL1 - Automobile

What We Know The all-new Chevrolet Camaro shares its architecture with the Cadillac ATS and CTS, which means it can, with relative ease, adapt many of the go-fast parts of the ATS-V and CTS-V. Bookending the spectrum of high-performance Camaros will be an affordable four-cylinder Camaro with suspension upgrades and at least one variant of the Camaro—which we expect to be the ZL1—that will share the CTS-V’s supercharged, 6. 2-liter V-8.... With some 650 horsepower, the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 should match Challenger Hellcat performance in a straight line but turn more confidently. Potential Pitfalls A lightweight, awesome-handling Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 doesn’t leave much room for a Z/28. Moreover, some insiders think the last Z/28 , priced around $70,000, was too exclusive.
