What It Is: The Camaro that hopes to humiliate the Mustang GT350. The next ZL1 will have a big power increase and will get a version of the recently introduced 1LE’s chassis.
Why It Matters: Here’s a Camaro with more horsepower and improved handling to body-slam a product from Ford. It’s 19-freakin’-69 all over again.
Platform: As with lesser Camaros, the ZL1 will be built on the Alpha platform, the rear-drive hardware shared with the Cadillac ATS-V, among others. Stiff and light, Alpha should have no problem coping with more than 600 horsepower.
Powertrain: A supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 small-block with 640 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the GT350, the ZL1 will offer an automatic option, GM’s impressive new 10-speed. Of course, the six-speed manual is still preferred. UPCOMMING CARS
HORSE POWER
A car, automobile, or auto is a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for transportation and a product of the automotive industry. Most definitions of the term specify that cars are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels with tyres, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods.[2][3] The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car. In that year, German inventor Karl Benz built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Cars did not become widely available until the early 20th century. One of the first cars that was accessible to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. Cars were rapidly adopted in the United States of America, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts, but took much longer to be accepted in Western Europe and other parts of the world.
Cars are equipped with controls used for driving, parking, passenger comfort and safety, and controlling a variety of lights. Over the decades, additional features and controls have been added to vehicles, making them progressively more complex. Examples include rear reversing cameras, air conditioning, navigation systems, and in car entertainment. Most cars in use in the 2010s are propelled by an internal combustion engine, fueled by deflagration of gasoline (also known as petrol) or diesel. Both fuels cause air pollution and are also blamed for contributing to climate change and global warming.[4] Vehicles using alternative fuels such as ethanol flexible-fuel vehicles and natural gas vehicles are also gaining popularity in some countries. Electric cars, which were invented early in the history of the car, began to become commercially available in 2008.
There are costs and benefits to car use. The costs of car usage include the cost of: acquiring the vehicle, interest payments (if the car is financed), repairs and auto maintenance, fuel, depreciation, driving time, parking fees, taxes, and insurance.[5] The costs to society of car use include: maintaining roads, land use, road congestion, air pollution, public health, health care, and disposing of the vehicle at the end of its life. Road traffic accidents are the largest cause of injury-related deaths worldwide.[6]
The benefits may include on-demand transportation, mobility, independence, and convenience.[7] The societal benefits may include: economic benefits, such as job and wealth creation from car production, sales and maintenance, transportation provision, society well-being derived from leisure and travel opportunities, and revenue generation from the tax opportunities. The ability for humans to move flexibly from place to place has far-reaching implications for the nature of societies 2017, chevrolet camaro zl1, start up, crank, starting, engine, exhaust, revving, rev, cold start, launch control, line lock, demo, demonstration,
