The 640-Horsepower 2017 Camaro ZL1 Taking On Nurburgring

It's a bird! No - it's a plane! No - it's the 640 horsepower 2017 Camaro ZL1 darting around Nurburgrin like a bat out of hell. Packing a punch both verbally and physically, the 2017 Camaro ZL1 is the most powerful one yet.

On the inside, the ZL1 makes it from 0-60 MPH in an estimated 3.5 seconds by combining the Cadillac's CTS-V supercharged V8 along with a limited-slip differential from the Corvette. Not a bad combo if you ask us. Commonly bought as beastly 10-speed automatic, this model is also available as a six-speed manual.

I think I know what I want for my birthday. Visit Westchevrolet.com today to find out more info about the 2017 Camaro ZL1 or call 877-323-6383.

2017 Camaro 1LE Track Pack Could Debut At 2016 Chicago Auto Show

Driver-focused 1LE could enhance Camaro SS for 2017 model year Chevy muscle car

America’s favorite muscle car could see another enhancement this month at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show. Reports and rumors have been surfacing about Chevrolet revealing a more driver-focused edition of the Camaro SS this February.

In front of a crowd at one of the largest auto shows in the U.S., Chevrolet quite possibly could show off the 1LE Track Pack for the V8 Camaro in the next week or so. Very little official information has been revealed, so it is up to the Camaro fans near Knoxville to figure out what could be included.

A spy video has also been taken, which you can watch below.



This Track Pack will most likely be offered on the Camaro SS trims which feature the powerful V8 engine. From the spy video, it appears there may be a decklid spoiler, bigger six-piston front brake calipers and blade rear spoiler.

A package such as this could change the suspension, aerodynamics and braking power of the Camaro SS. The new performance package would be much more track-focused and give the Knoxville-area Camaro fans something else to ponder if they haven’t picked up a 2016 Camaro from West Chevrolet yet.

On a side note, Chevrolet may show a refreshed Trax update for the 2017 model year at the Chicago Auto Show as well.

Testing of Next Camaro ZL1 Made Evident Thanks to Latest Spy Shots

Exterior changes including larger grille becomes much more noticeable in newest pics

On the heels of major announcements for the 2016 Camaro, Chevrolet continues to work on its muscle and performance line. CarPix and AutoBlog have uncovered spy shots of the camouflaged, next-gen Camaro ZL1. The new exterior changes should have Knoxville Camaro fans excited.

The most noticeable change is the much larger and almost honeycombed grille that will take center stage when you look head-on at it. This new shape gives the Camaro a modern look to keep pace with its technological interior. The lower air dam also sticks out a bit more, and the hood looks similar to other General Motors performance models.

Black-spoked wheels make a return from the current generation, and the rear bumper has slight changes as well. It’s still too early to make any judgements about the powertrain of the ZL1, but more than likely it will have the traditional 6.2-liter supercharged V8.

The ZL1 is one of the greatest pieces of engineering to come out of Chevrolet garages and design rooms. With a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds and a 580-horsepower supercharged V8 engine, the Camaro ZL1 is built for the track but also fun for the open road and highways. The high-performance looks both inside and out set the Camaro ZL1 apart from its competition, and that’s why the namesake has stayed around for decades and counting.

Current 2015 Camaro ZL1

The improved Camaro ZL1 should launch for the 2017 model year, which should place it at the fourth quarter of 2016. The wait will be well worth it though for Tennessee Camaro enthusiasts.
