The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Is Taking On The World By Storm

The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is taking on the world by storm.  Mark Reuss, Executive Vice President of Global Product Development, believes the coupe will compare well to any sports coupe, at any price, and in any setting. It offers incredible performance – acceleration, handling, and braking – with the highest level of technology and perfect chassis damping.

The new supercharged  6.2L V-8 engine estimate at 640 HP (477 kW) and either six-speed manual transmission with active rev matching or an all-new 10-speed automatic leave nothing to be desired. The structure of the new sixth-Gen Camaro is stiffer and lightweight. It has a Magnetic Ride suspension and an electronic limited-slip differential.

All exterior elements play a part in managing the airflow over, under and through the ZL1. The lower grille has an opening that allows greater airflow and the upper grille incorporates a new version of the “flow-tie” open bow-tie insignia. The ZL1 also has a new hood with a carbon fiber insert and heat extractor, which pulls heat from the engine compartment. The front splitter, unique rockers, a wing-style rear spoiler and wider front fenders are all tuned to improve the aerodynamics for high-speed stability.

Mid Missouri Powerhouse cannot wait for the 2017 Camaro ZL1 to make its way to their lot late this year. Mid Missouri Powerhouse believes it will be a great addition to the Chevrolet family and customers will fall in love.
