The ZL1 will have a V8 90-degree engine that resembles the street going version but other than the number of cylinders and orientation of the engine that is where the similarities stop. The NASCAR engine will create roughly 900 horsepower compared to the 650 horsepower street going version.
“The new Camaro ZL1 is a great-looking race car with a lot of heritage behind it, which will make it a big hit with fans,” say Jimmy Johnson
“And as someone who’s enjoyed the ZL1 on the street, I’m really looking forward to getting this new race car on the track.”
