The Z/28 might be the most track-focused Camaro available, but the ZL1 makes bigger under-hood numbers. Its blown 6.2-liter V8 develops 580 horsepower versus its more athletic – and naturally aspirated – sibling’s 505. Hennessey Performance, in their never-ending quest for more performance, have decided to take an unusual approach to bumping up the ZL1’s […] More »
