2002 Camaro ZL1 Supercar.
NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL THE WAY TO PHASE III, that car runs a 10.5 quarter stock.
Over the previos year I have had alot of exposure to this car through Camaro Worldwide and various other clubs. I figured perhaps you guys would find the car interesting. I have ridden and driven several of these, including a ride in the phase I prototype with a gm exec. So first some info. They made 69 of these cars. Their were 3 levels of cars Phase I and phase II have some of the following: CONFIGURATION Four-passenger, two-door coupe Rear-wheel drive Front-engine 101.1-in wheelbase ENGINE Aluminum block 5.7 Liter LS6 V8 2002 Pre-production cylinder heads (Specs undisclosed) 2002 Pre-production camshaft (Specs undisclosed) Corvette ZO6 Intake ASP Underdrive Pulley Altered Camaro PCM Stock mass air sensor w/composite ends 180 degree thermostat w/turned down fans GM Motorsports plug wires CNC ported extrude honed cast iron manifolds (specific to vehicle) GMMG stainless steel chambered cat-back exhaust Full Mobil 1 Synthetic Performance Package DRIVETRAIN Stock Camaro transmission Hurst shifter w/classic black shift knob Corvette ZO6 clutch Lightweight billet flywheel Stock Camaro driveshaft 4.10 posi-traction differential GMMG rear differential cover w/drain plug CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION 35 mm zero-deflection front sway bar 24 mm 1LE rear sway bar 1LE control arms and panhard bar w/grease fittings 8700 series Penske triple adjustable nitrogen filled shocks with remote canisters Specific-rate Eibach lowering springs Rear control arm relocation brackets INTERIOR Custom silver gauges w/ZL1 logo Automatic dimming rearview mirror w/compass Houndstooth interior (planned) Horsepower, Torque, Displacement and Compression specs dash plate EXTERIOR 1969 Garnet Red paint color Custom stripes w/"400 HP" decals Satin black rear panel Chrome CAMARO rear fill-ins Historic gray grille w/blue 1969 Chevrolet bowtie Body side moldings removed Power antenna Front wheels - Corvette ZO6 17" x 9.5" Rear wheels - Corvette ZO6 18" x 10.5" Corvette Brakes and Calipers Ball-milled brake rotors and Phase III is a 427 ci c5-r block pushing 600 HP/575 TQ . Has penske racing nitrous shocks, zo6 brakes, special wheels and seats, moser 12 bolt rear, and some other parts I cant remember. cost: 95000 I have ridden in 3 or 4 of these cars. I also have the original take off wheels from a one on my track car(apparently they take off the 10 spoke ss wheels when they role in at 30 miles). One last thing to note, these cars come with a warrenty and were painted a color of your request. Some pics: http://www.batterytoppers.com/gallery/02_ZL-1.jpg http://home.kc.rr.com/viperdiecast/zl1.jpg I have some personal pics of number 1 and the prototype that will be in my gallery by next week(I will also have new pics of my camaro at Road atlanta and hopefully pics of some exotics that are at the track). |
Thats an amazing car. Too bad so few were built. These things will probably be the equivalent to Yenko, Baldwin Motion, or COPO Camaros from the 60s in 30 years. They are awesome!

Very neat... I want one.
|
Thats awesome.

Looks vary from person to person... but the look your gunna get mostly is of the rear deck, so I hope thats the best view for you :D. The Phase III is no joke, and for the price Its one hell of a car and still holds a very cool bang for the buck title. Not many cars out there have 600hp at the tap of a pedal and can tear up tires like Michael Jackson can tear up a 12 year old boy and can do it for such a price. Its a great example of fantastic performance from an American car. Only drawback would be the interior. If I get a 95k car, the inside better not rattle, squeek, shimmy, or shake. I hope GM learned this and they think about it big time for 07 when the Camaro rises from the ashes to stomp a mud whole in a few Mustangs.

Id rather have that engine in a Trans AM. Camaros look like Catfish to me. T/As look like Demons from hell whove come on earth to destroy, and drink the blood of the innocent. :twisted:

With 600 hp and 575 ft-lbs with close to if not higher than stock camaro weight, even with the rear end and slicks I dont see how this car can run 10.5's, I mean it is obviously a very very fast car but i think 11.5 is more realistic. But i really dont know any think about this car that i didnt just read.

I think its very possible. I have a vid of a ZL1 test car from GM running 9.45 in a 572 big block pushing over 720hp I belive. And the car looks very stock and is not a striped out, class and plastic car. It has the original sheet metal and real glass. If the car can hook, its very easy to run a 600hp car into the 10's. Maybe you need to feel what its like to be in a car with torque?

gotta be the best camaro to ever come out of the factory. how did it ride on the street?
these must be a blast to drive. very sweet, but it would make more sense to me to give these sort of goodies to a corvette. the hockey-stick paint job is interesting. that engine must sound absolutely sweet.... |

amazing car... i knew of the ZL-1 corvette posting a time of 11 flat... but in a comero!!! i think im in love. im glad to hear the zo6 trans is in it, being that is likely the best 6-speed thats mass produced in america. (ford gt is recardo built in the UK)
|
The GT is made in the SVT plant actually and please learn how to spell CAMARO!

yes, the GT is made in Dearborn, the Brakes are made in Italy, the Trans is made in the UK by Recardo... and a few other parts are shipped in from elsewhere. but in all honesty, being that im in a state where the Auto industry dominates, there are an awful lot of 3rd party manufactures that make a great many parts for various cars. i cant think of any car that uses all "in house" parts except Ferrari, and .... hmm.... nope thats it as far as i know |
