[pencilneck22]

I was reading this just today: "Arlen Vanke built the Plymouth Super Stocker (426 Hemi) with one purpose - to smoke the SS/C record where Bill Jenkins and the Chevy guys were enjoying a cushioned index going into the '69 World Finals. He took it to the last divisional race of the year and reset the record in a Sunday evening final-round charge. He hammered the number so hard that the ZL1 cars could not even qualify at Dallas the next month."

Huh.

[copocamaro]

@pencilneck22 what when they didn't allow them to use the cowl hoods any more I'll still take camaro any day over plymouth!

[drinkeveryday]

now thats a real fuckin car

[CamaroAmx]

only one of these is still owned by it origanal buyer. It only has 9 miles on it and has always been a drag car. Its never seen the street even though it could still be registered for the street easily. Its car # 16. Purchesed new from Fred Gibb in '69 by Ken Barnhart. it's hugger orange and has a 4-speed.He won the '70 Super Stock Championship in it with a 11.61 second pass at 121.13mph. He still runs in events today.

[copocamaro]

@CamaroAmx ok and? if its still running today its got more than 9 miles on it! I've seen the car and Ken before. I use to go to all the super car reunions My other ZL-1 has 630 original miles!

[namanp]

sick ride, the new zl1 is gonna eat mustangs for breakfast

[superfreak1164]

I love Camaros, i love Chevy, and i bow to the ZL-1!

[cookster3333]

the 2012 zl1 has a 427 LSX supercharge motor thats factory from GM a hennessey is build aftermarket from the hennessey factory its not fully a GM product GM build the Zl1 to beat the new 5.0 gt 500 and GT mustangs that Ford is selling and it will it puts out 180 hp mor and 210 fp of tourqe then the new 2012 mustand boss or gt 500

[copocamaro]

@cookster3333 UMM you going to say that Hennessey also came up with the ZR-1 corvette and the CTS-V caddi to? the camaro is that same motor



[jhowe67]

@cookster3333 um, he 2012 ZL1 is a supercharged 5.3l LSA. factory motor, not aftermarket. it is intended to beat the boss because its faster.

[PRONET111589]

@jhowe67 wrong.. lsa is a 6.2

[stlchucko]

If I remember correctly, the factory rated the ZL1 it at 435hp; but like the L88, it was severely underrated. Hot Rod Mag ran a 3.73 equipped Camaro to a low-mid 11s and mentioned a 4.11 equipped Corvette running 10.70 in a "69 article.

[ih8polaris15]

@stlchucko depend son what phase. phase 1 is like 420 hp phase 2 is like 475 hp and phase 3 is 600 hp...

[carcajouxx]

this car is a beast...gotta love the small dish hubcaps !

[slt223]

I was hoping all the revving was for a clutch dump....little dissapointed to see the trailer come into frame

[helloimtess]

*drool*

[dime6664ever]

is the 2010 zl575 the remake of this badass?

[copocamaro]

@dime6664ever GMMG made 69 ZL1 camaros in 2002 they are the remake of the old car. Best new car is Hennessey I think the LS9 car

[dime6664ever]

@copocamaro oooooya that ls9 hpe700 is one bad sumbitch. I herd you can get a 800hp and 1000hp ls9 too. But if i ever got a 2010 camaro it would be the zl575. Anything over 600 horse's would be to sceray for me haha.

[copocamaro]

@dime6664ever HEHEHEEH check out my website 69zl1.com and see the cars and the 800 HP escalade V

[dime6664ever]

@copocamaro ya bru that escalade was badass haha... And i saw pictures of it on the track. Do you happen to know what it ran in the 1/4?

[keenov]

@dime6664ever The 2012 ZL1 is the remake of this bad ass :)

[skorpionhbg]

hemi killa for sure

[talkofchitown1988]

i would love to have that car the aluminum block only weights 110lbs thats fucking amazing just stock it would beat most cars today imagine back in the day having 1 of those

[byronmohawk]

Different rims would ruin the value of the car...this one's easily worth over $100K

[ih8polaris15]

@byronmohawk its easily owrth over 500k. its 1 of 69.

[bigphreaking]

I would rather have this than just about anything. Ferraris smoked, while you wait.

[robertcossey]

This is the basic factory produced model...My stepdads cousin actually raced for fred gibb back in the day and drove the 1969 zl1 but the one he drove was actually made for the track and only one was made...go to google and type in fred gibb camaro

[copocamaro]

nice story but completly not true! all the original 50 cars were quite the same. GM never made a special one for racing the ZL1 was made for racing it was not meant to be on the road.

[DahlonegaBandit]

I agree however there were 69 cars made in 1969 and that was it for the zl1 camaro until 02 when they made a tribute car.

[copocamaro]

yep thats true there were 69 cars made and again in 2002

[copocamaro]

@10mak01 the L89 was a 396-375 HP with alum heads only 311 built. the L88 were 427 iron block copo cars any car could be built as a copo all it means is central office production order, there are station wagons that are copo

[10mak01]

@copocamaro That seems like a very deliberate number but someone raised the possibility of some additional cars being manufactured for sale in Canada.

[copocamaro]

Best ZL1 Camaro Documented Quarter Mile Time. 10.48 Seconds @ 128.10 MPH

[copocamaro]

Best ZL1 Camaro Documented Quarter Mile Time. 10.48 Seconds @ 128.10 MPH

[alan6102000]

disappointing.......sounds great but thats sadly the highest RPM that car will ever see again.

[Zando24]

That's probably the greatest muscle car ever made...the ZL1

[copocamaro]

my escalade still has HP that the ZR1! I got 725 without the bottle and 800 with. I think the ZL1 was rated at 650 hp?

[Jeffero77]

When was your escalade made. I'm certain it wasn't 1969 so maybe your modded out decades newer car is a little more powerful. And well... that was a stock ZL1 with a 12 second 1/4 mile.... yeah your car is so much cooler

[punk531]

and lets see how many of your rich bitch rides where made and what whas is rated at stock where does it stand in history....  ya take a big step back

[copocamaro]

69 were made rated at 650 hp UMMMM TOP 5?
