Chevrolet's ZL1
  • 2012 Model
  • Mass produced - at least more than 69 made
  • Produced at the Camaro plant
  • Hopefully will be under $50k (despite what you read elsewhere, price has NOT been determined)
I came in to pose the same question. Seems crazy to think the only allowed SLP the namecard for one year. Wonder what's in store from SLP starting in 2012. Anyone heard anything from David Hamburger yet?

I'm heading to the Chicago Auto Show this friday. I cant wait to take some pictures of this car! It looks awesome from what you posted!

Personally, I think Z28 would of been the best name for the car. (Without getting into an arguement). But looks like Chevy is heading in a different direction, and I already like what I see. Keep up the great work!

so I guess that means SLP only had the license up to 2011?

Much of that is business confidential. I am told there will be a statement later but until then, we probably will not know.

Wow...do I call it or what? GM's SLP statement just released!!

http://slpcamaro.com/2011/02/09/gms-slp-zl1-statement/

On February 9, 2011 GM announced the addition of the ultimate performance ZL1 to
the Camaro line for 2012 MY, with production beginning in the first quarter of 2012.
Taking its name from the most elite and exclusive Camaro ever, ZL1 propels Camaro
into the realm of high performance technology providing an estimated minimum 550
supercharged horsepower, Nurburgring tuned suspension with magnetic ride control,
and an aggressive look including specific hood with carbon fiber insert and functional
extractor. Chevrolet is very excited to unveil this next chapter in the current Camaro
lifecycle.

Chevrolet is aware that SLP, a past upfitter of Chevrolet's 4th generation (1996-2002)
Camaro vehicle, has been marketing its own limited edition (69) ZL1 upfit package for
the 2011 Camaro model year only. Chevrolet and SLP have discussed SLP's ZL1 upfit
package, an offering honoring the heritage and legacy of Chevrolet's original 1969
Camaro ZL1. Chevrolet has no objection to SLP continuing its marketing and build-out
efforts to complete the run of its 2011 ZL1 upfit package.
Doesn't really say much beyond what I stated above. Well, that must be that. SLP will surely continue to make parts for our cars. They definitely have the experience!

I don't see any reference to an optional automatic transmission. Is the A6 off the table?

No auto will be available on the new ZL1. The only option is exterior color.

Bummer. I was hoping after we saw the spy shots of the mule with an A6 that it would be optional. This may be a deal breaker for me... that and the sticker price.
