BAY CITY, Mich. Feb. 7, 2012 - In a sea full of European
cars, the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is the only American contender for the 2012
World Performance Car of the Year
award.
The 2012 World Performance Car
finalist list was a collective picking of vehicles by 66 automotive journalists
from around the world and slimed down to just
10
cars.

safety, environmental responsibility, emotional appeal, and significance. The
winner will be announced on Thursday April 21st at the New York
International Auto Show.

| The powerhouse of the ZL1 Camaro |
Here’s what the Chevy Camaro ZL1 is bringing to the table:
·
6.2L Gen
IV V-8 Small Super Charged Block
·
580 Horse Power at 6000 RPM
·
556 lbs. of torque at 4200 RPM
·
19 MPG highway
The Chevy ZL-1 will be the first car in North America to
come equipped with the latest generation of Magnetic Ride Control. The
Magneto-Rheological Shocks use magnetorheological fluid for dampening levels up
to 1,000 times per second. This makes the system exceptionally responsive and
provides better wheel control on rough roads like Ridge Road, Johnson Street,
and Trumbull Avenue, and challenging race tracks by dramatically reducing
heave, pitch, and roll.
The Camaro has always been a symbol of the classic American
muscle car and the latest generation features a design bold enough to land
itself a role in the Transformers movie series as seen at the
Goodrich Bay City 8 Theater. The
Chevy Camaro ZL1 comes with an MSRP starting at $54,095, a much more affordable
price tag than the other European contenders.
