In the following video, host PowerNation Daily host Gannon Pritchard says, in regards to the 5th-generation Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, that the 2017 ZL1 raises the bar.When you just look at its engine output alone, oh boy does it. Actually, the 640-horsepower halo car fires the bar into space with the power of its supercharged 6.2-liter V8. It’s only 10 ponies down from the almighty C7 Z06, a much smaller gap than the one that existed between the last ZL1 and the last Z06.Those aren’t the only big numbers attached to the new ZL1, though. In addition to an available six-speed manual transmission, a 10-speed automatic – yes, 10 forward gears – can also be paired with the LT4 up front. That cranks out 80 more lb-ft (640) than the previous ZL1’s engine did, in a car that weighs 200 pounds less than it did in its last generation. A total of 11 heat exchangers keep the weapons-grade powertrain from cooking itself. Six-piston monobloc calipers and 15.35-inch two-piece rotors in the front help prevent the ZL1’s driver from becoming a number himself: a statistic.Chime in with your thoughts on the forum. >><br />if(typeof DTDescriptionOn==="undefined"){var DTDescriptionOn=[];DTTitleOn=[];var numOfVideos=0}DTDescriptionOn[numOfVideos]=false;DTTitleOn[numOfVideos]=false;
