"I came to manhood in the late 60's and I owned quite a few muscle cars made in that era. I thought, for yrs. afterward, that was the fastest factory made cars that would ever be made. W R O N G!!!! I now own a 2012 Camaro ZL1 and even though it weighs a little over four thousand lbs. CHEVROLET definitely made up for it. This car would have embarrassed the muscle cars of that time. It's rated at 580hp and 560ft.lbs.of torque and I believe Chevy still rates their cars VERY conservatively in their claimed ratings. I have yet to be beaten in the quarter-mile or low-end. This includes all the "muscle cars" of today except the Z06 Vette( and I'm withholding judgement,haven't run one yet). The Dodge Charger, and Challenger, all Mustangs, yes including two 2012 Shelbys, and the regular Corvette. My ZL1 has five different performance settings, with launch control, and one setting for rain( that really works). It also has a tour setting and, to me, rides as good as most family cars, if not better. When you go around a curve it's as if you're on rails. The sports bucket seats are nearly in a class with Recaro seats. All in all I would say this is the fastest, most controllable car I have ever owned and for this class of cars, the most comfortable. In one of the performance modes I can get 22mpg. I would buy another ZL1 with no hesitation if I get another car."
