Default New ZL1 427 Camaro!

Just a thought, has anyone thought of GM re-introducing the ZL1 Camaro 5th Gen with a 427ci?

If you don't like to refer to your car as a FIREBIRD then you are in DENIAL.

your not reffering to the new supercharged vette ZR1 with factory rated 638hp are you? i saw it at the MPLS auto show it has a clear spot on the hood so you can view the supercharger cover on the engine. the car costs a scratch over 100k.

^^^^^Yep, I got that issue with a GM performance parts 427ci 2010 Camaro, putting down in the 550hp range I believe. It was red with a black hood and truck. It was killer.

Yes, that's one of the four released at SEMA, and they are now touring the coutryside...

Don't be surprized to see LS7/LS9 versions available from a reputable source, soon...

No you its' the supercharger you can see. Gm actually built the supercharger into the valley and the intake manifold. It has two impellers that provide the boost. The LS9 is a bad **** for sure.
