550 hp zl1 camaro

Camaro Zl1 550 hp. Magnetic dampening suspension ect... I have not been a fan of the camaro but this one is pretty cool and built to be used.

Could be right although does not seem worth while to make 70
. Price tag around 50k. I like the trumpet exhaust.

I'd take one murdered out, I'm not really a fan on domestics, but they have brought back the camaro w/ a nice style. It sucks they produced weenie v6 versions. what a way to kill a "muscle car" name.

There's a big problem with this car; the driver's visual perspective is horrible. It's hard to see out of the thing. I don't care how much power it has, or what doohickeys it's equipped with. If I can't see, I'm not fast. Great for bragging right, not so much for the actual act of driving quickly.

It's a combination of several factors - the design of the cabin, itself, the beltline, the shape and position of the glazing, and the seating position. It's like being in a submarine with its snorkel sticking above water.

Or a tank with tiny windows.... Yeah, I heard the same histories on the forums, not the best ergonomics in the market.
