Camaro fans have need to celebrate this year. Not just Chevrolet is preparing a big birthday celebration for the nameplate’s 50th anniversary, but the brand name is releasing the most powerful production Camaro ever: the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Now, General Motors has provided few details on the ZL1, together with the high-performance 1LE plan, consisting of pricing and performance estimates.
The Camaro ZL1 coupe will begin at $62,135, including the destination, while the ZL1 convertible will retail at $69,135. The brand-new fixed-roof design begins $4,485 more than the 2015 Camaro ZL1 coupe. However, the brand-new ZL1 does pump out 650 hp and 640 lb-ft of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V-8, or 70 hp and 84 lb-ft compared to the supercharged 6.2-liter LSA V-8 in the previous model. The 2017 ZL1 comes conventional with a six-speed manual, however has the alternative of a brand-new 10-speed automatic transmission which was co-developed with Ford. On the other hand, the 1LE plan will be priced at $4,500 for Camaro V-6 LT coupes and $6,500 for the V-8 1SS coupe. LT designs get the Camaro SS’ FE3 suspension where as 1LE SS models get the ZL1’s FE4 Magnetic Ride suspension as well as electronic limited-slip differential.
In addition to rates, General Motors revealed its performance approximates for the ZL1 and 1LE. When geared up with the offered 10-speed automatic, the ZL1 will speed up from 0-60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and complete the quarter mile in 11.4 seconds at 127 miles per hour.
Camaros geared up with the 1LE package do not improve much acceleration-wise, with 0-60 miles per hour approximated at 5.2 seconds for V-6 models and 4.2 seconds with the V-8. Handling, but it does enhance. General Motors estimates the LT 1LE is able of 0.97 g, where as the SS 1LE can pull 1.02 g. The SS 1LE can stop from 60 mph in 107 feet, matching the ZL1’s braking efficiency. The LT 1LE requires a little bit more space at 112 feet, as per General Motors.
