After years of ultimate muscle car dominance, Ford and Shelby finally have a reason to look over their shoulders. That reason is the up and coming Chevy Camaro ZL1. Powered by the same engine as the Cadillac CTS-V this car will have some sort of maniacal horsepower rating usually reserved for cars which fall under the coveted class known as the "super car". It is rumored that this engine will make a substantially higher output than it does in the Cadillac. In order to to make use of this power the Camaro needs to be able to break hard in corners as well as get around them fluidly, something muscle cars have not been known to do. Enter the Corvette ZR1 magnetic dampers, traction control system, and don't ruin your underwear but yes, carbon ceramic breaks.
This Camaro also has the looks. The wheels are massive, at 20 inches were talking huge on a galactic scale. The five spoke wheels are handsome and compliment the cars over-all aggressive stance which carries on to the front of the car with functioning hood scoop and re-worked front fascia. What I, your fearless leader am wondering is in its quest to beef up the Camaro in order to take down the GT500 will this new Chevy cannibalize Corvette sales?
