Chevrolet introduced a new Camaro model, the ZL1, at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show.
There are numerous differences between the ZL1 and the normal
V6 and SS models. More than 30 percent of the Camaro SS was
re-engineered for the Camaro ZL1.
The car features a supercharged 6.2L LSA engine with 1.9L
supercharger @7psi SAE-rated at 580 horsepower (432 kW) and
556 lb.-ft. of torque (754 Nm) – making it the most-powerful
production Camaro ever. Power is delivered to the rear wheels by
either a six-speed manualTR-6060 or the 6L90 automatic
transmission. The manual has a stronger output shaft, a more
robust rear housing, and an additional mainshaft roller bearing to
provide 30-percent more torque capacity than the automatic
transmission used in the Camaro SS. To improve shift quality,
there are triple synchros in some gears and a revised linkage. A
new dual-mass flywheel is bolted to a high-capacity twin-disc
clutch. The automatic has additional clutch plates, a strengthened
output shaft, and is programmed with three operating modes
(Drive/Sport/Manual).[103]
The ZL1's power is complemented by exclusive performance
technologies, including the third-generation of Magnetic Ride
suspension and Performance Traction Management. Brembo
calipers with six pistons per wheel in front and four pistons per
wheel in back handle stopping. A duct system delivers air from
the grille to the hard-working rotors. The 20-inch forged-
aluminum wheels are fitted with second-generation Goodyear
Eagle F1 Supercar radials (285/35ZR-20 in front, 305/35ZR-20 in
back). Damping is provided by Magnetic Ride Control units
similar to those that Cadillac and Corvette have long used. This
system can sense the need for a damping correction 1000 times
per second and make that change in only five milliseconds. The
Performance Traction Management (PTM) system was originally
engineered for the Corvette C6 ZR1. In addition to modulating
engine torque for optimum launch performance in manual-
equipped ZL1s, PTM also varies the traction control and
suspension damping as needed. The five available modes are for
wet, dry, sport with or without stability control, and race-driving
conditions.[103]
Additional track-ready features standard on the Camaro ZL1
include coolers for the engine, transmission and rear differential,
cooling ducts for the Brembo brakes, and a high-performance
fuel system delivers fuel to the LSA engine under any
performance-driving condition. The ZL1's rear axle includes a
high-capacity cast-iron-case differential, massive asymmetrical
half shafts, and extra-heavy-duty universal joints. To keep the
lubricant temperature in line, there's an oil-to-oil heat exchanger
built into the bottom of the differential. Transmission fluid
circulates through that heat exchanger and through the radiator
to drop operating temps by more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In
addition, the engine is fitted with the same oil-to-coolant heat
exchanger used in the Corvette ZR1. The ZL1 has a deeper oil
pan, a longer pickup, and a higher-capacity pump than the SS
BREMBO BRAKES ALL AROUND. 14.6...6 PISTON UPFRONT AND 14.4...4 PISTON OUT BACK

9.9 INCH INDEPENDENT REAR END W/3.73 GEARS
In handling Tests the ZL1 Camaro ended up with a 1.03g average
lateral acceleration performance on the skid pad, the Camaro ZL1
not only beat the Shelby GT500's 0.98g but also the Corvette ZR1
and matched the McLaren MP4-12C and Porsche 911 GT2 RS for
the highest lateral acceleration ever recorded by the online
magazine. Not bad for a 4,000 lb. car
