Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible
Today Chevrolet revealed the production version of the Camaro ZL1 convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The drop-top version of the bow-tie brand’s top muscle car will go on sale late 2012 as a 2013 model.

If you ever need an example of poor timing, General Motors just provided a gem. The same day the company announces a $54,995 price for the Camaro ZL1, Ford nukes the collective minds of the automotive world with the news that ZL1′s direct competitor, the Mustang GT500, will have 650 horsepower for 2013. The ZL1 has 580.
But hey, cars are about more than just horsepower, right? Handling, braking, steering, and ride are all other crucial aspects of the driving experience, and physical appearance mat…

The LA Auto Show may be known for its green-car unveilings, but don’t forget, Los Angeles is a classic center for automotive enthusiasm and trends.

Today, Chevrolet announced that coupe pricing will start at $54,995, with destination charges and bravado included.

When Chevrolet entered the pony car segment with the Camaro in 1967, it faced an uphill battle. Ford already had the segment locked down, and the bowtie brand was starting essentially from scratch. For that reason, Chevrolet threw every resource it had at its disposal – including the talents of the legendary designer Bill Mitchell – to build the one-off Camaro Cherokee show car. Forty-five years later, that show car will take center stage again at the Russo an…

The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro not only looks tough with its beefy exterior, but it can also take a hit like a champ. Safecar.gov has released its crash test ratings, and the muscle car took the cake, achieving the best score in every test category.
Five stars were given to the Camaro in the front crash, side crash, and rollover tests for an overall rating of – you guessed it – five stars. The frontal barrier crash rating evaluates injuries to the driver and front passenger’s head, neck, chest and legs…

Just hours after Ford’s public announcement of the facts and figures on the new 2013 Ford Shelby GT 500 Mustang – a staggering 650 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque, and a top speed of 200 miles per hour, Chevrolet has countered with numbers of its own for the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
The previously-announced 580 horsepower and 556 lb-ft produced by the Camaro ZL1’s LSA supercharged V-8 helps the boosted pony to deliver 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, the quarter-mile in 12 seconds flat, and a top speed o…
