The tidal wave of aftermarket parts for the new Camaro is finally starting to roll in, and this time the upgrades come from a familiar name in the F-body community.
SLP Performance Parts is now offering what it calls the ZL575 package. Like most Camaro upgrade kits today, the SLP package uses a supercharger to crank up the horsepower along with a cold air induction induction system and a revised cat-back exhaust. The result is, you guessed it, 575-horsepower. SLP says it's good for a 11.6-second quarter mile sprint. We'll see about that.
To assure that your newly invigorated Camaro can contain all that power, the SLP package also includes a sport spring kit that lowers the car an inch for better handling. A redesigned set of 20-inch wheels is also included along with a cowl induction hood and what SLP calls a "functional rear spoiler." There are various badges and trim pieces included as well and all for the small sum of $22,995.
Sounds a bit steep, yes, but SLP points out that the ZL575's performance numbers match up favorably with big dollar sedans and sports cars like the Cadillac CTS-V and Shelby GT500.
Still a nearly $60,000 Camaro is a tough sell these days, but if you want one you can order the SLP package through any Chevrolet dealer.

For a bit more money I could buy a Z06 which is about equal in speed yet much has better all around performance.

Those rear tires look awful narrow for that kind of power

I agree with hondacura, but that is still a good lookin' Camaro.

Agree with Hondacura too.

Hondacrua is right, but the ZL offers a back seat and truck, which makes it much more versatile than the 'Vette and a better choice if you want to carry more than one passenger and/or minimal luggage.

I would like to see upgraded Z06(427) engine in Camaro !
That would match old-school Muscle,
Ford uses small engines with S-Chargers, Challanger bigger engines but without SC (on SEMA there'll be 426HEMI crate engine , though !)...
so 427(ZL1?) Camaro would be a beast !
Camaro is handsome vehicle in every form...
