2011 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 by SLP Performance

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 caught our attention for a variety of things, chief among them being its distinction of having the most powerful engine a Camaro has ever had. It’s powered by an LSA 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine that produces an estimated 550 horsepower and 550 lb/ft of torque so you know that there aren’t any donkeys under that hood.
Seeing as it’s a Camaro, the number of tuners itching to get on the ZL1 bandwagon figures to be a crapshoot sooner than later. But the creds should definitely go to SLP Performance for getting the first crack at building a ZL1 kit – sort of.
While it’s technically true that the kit is for the Camaro ZL1, the Camaro used by SLP Performance is actually that of the Camaro SS. Nevertheless, SLP Performance’s work on the Camaro, and the subsequent ZL1 tag attached to it, more than makes up for using a Camaro SS to turn it into a ZL1. There’s plenty of aerodynamic and performance upgrades to go around so you really won’t feel cheated if you do decide to splurge on one of the 69 available units.
