The new Camaro ZL1 is just absurd: 640 horsepower, insane looks, and a proper handling setup. With the right driver behind the wheel, this is pretty much a weapon.

The front-end has a ton of vents to let air in to cool the car down when it's being pushed to its limits.

They also help make the car look really good.

From here, it's pretty much like any other Camaro.

Like most other performance cars of today, the Camaro ZL1 has several different drive modes that can be adjusted for whatever type of driving you plan on doing.

Things like throttle sensitivity and exhaust loudness are changed depending on what mode you're in.

The ZL1 uses Chevy's 'Flowtie' for the front grille emblem. It helps get even more air under the hood instead of pushed around like it would be with a solid bowtie badge.
