Still got the same ugly body. Disgrace to the ZL1 heritage.

The new Hot Wheels Camaro reminds me of the styling mis-cues of the Corvette or the progression of the new gen Mustangs. I'm hoping when they restyle it we'll see similar positive changes.

Eliminate curvature in nose, reduce the rocker to window sill dimension, tighten the ass-end up a little and it has potential.

I like the motor though, and I'm sure the insurance companies will appreciate the opportunity to increase rates.

As far as the music goes, I'd have to be listening to Molly Hatchet Flirtin with disaster.

And thats why 13 seconds into the video there is a very small disclaimer that reads: "Professional driver on closed course. Do not attempt."

Thats there for people like us.

Don't hold back Todd.

The original ZL1's weren't necessarily striking with the lovely hubcaps and all, but I'd have to agree. The new body style leaves a lot to be desired. The new Corvette ZL1 is badass in my opinion, but the Camaro, well, not so much. If they do end up cleaning up the lines on the new Camaro and really allowing it live up to its potential, I wonder how much the current fugly generation would (not) be worth?

Yah, if I wanted a proper representation of a ZL1 Camaro, I'd go vintage and have me a 69 with a ZL1 block in it like Todd's.

The ad says "introducing the most powerful Camaro ever".

I don't think so!

Even my '69 will have a few more ponies than that new ZL1. And my car is tame relative to the cars around here.

Here's another article and photo about it:

The stripe, new lower fascia, and side skirts do improve the look a bit. Fix the tail lights, grill, and remove the B pillar and they'll be getting somewhere.

Impressive power but not convinced it deserves the ZL1 name.

The damn thing needs to lose serious amount of weight.

Close to 4,100lbs?! Are you kidding me?

Sure, 550 hp sounds nice, but jeez... It probably needs that much just to get to speed
