2002 ZL1 Camaro's

[JoeC]

It is a nice car but I don't see the connection to the original ZL1 Camaro. They use the LS6 engine from the ZO6 Corvette. It is a great engine so they should call it a LS6 Camaro not a ZL1. If someone wants to really build a modern ZL1 Camaro they would have to use an engine like the KG3SR7 Street Race Engine (7.0L 585hp) This is the street version of the engine Katech developed for the C5-R Corvette Factory Race cars.
This engine raced at LeMans, Daytona, and Sebring just like the original ZL1 engine, it is expensive just like the original ZL1 engine, and it is a 427 (close) that is not a normal production engine like the original ZL1 engine. The car would probably cost around 75K and would be difficult to sell many of them just like the original ZL1. In my opinion this LS6 engine Camaro is a nice car but not really deserving of the ZL1 name.
