When discussing Chevrolet models there are always plenty of options to satisfy all types of fans, with many of them lovingly turning their attention to the ubiquitous Camaro. Still, the choice narrows down when it comes to established aftermarket players that are worthy of hard-earned greenbacks. And even fewer have the right to claim the highest amount of power and torque while keeping the factory warranty...
That was the call to fame earlier this year from the Callaway SC750 Camaro ZL1. Just a few months later, and the renowned custom builder has updated the model to 2021MY designation. The performance coordinates are just as good, and now the company also offers the stand out in a crowd Wild Cherry paint option.
It's there probably just to keep your blood pumping, even before you start revving that V8 from underneath that flashy exposed shaker hood...
By the way, according to the shared details, the Wild Cherry color can be had both on the versions equipped with the six-speed stick shifter, as well as the 10-speed automatic box. And there’s even an available 1LE Extreme Performance Package.
Not that you really need it, judging from the stock credentials, which include things such as the proprietary GenThree Supercharger with TripleCooled Intercooler System, Carbon Engine covers, and High Flow Intake System. It all comes covered by Callaway’s own 3 year/36,000-mile limited warranty.
There are also various styling flourishes – such as signature Callaway badges both inside and out, door sill panels, specific floor mats, and dedicated key fobs. Not enough to attract unwanted attention when cruising, as the tuner prefers to let the monster under the hood do the talking instead...
By the way, the Camaro ZL1 also has the interesting honor of sporting supercar-level performance credentials, including a 60 mph (96 kph) time of 3.2 seconds and 11-second (at 128 mph / 206 kph) quarter-mile credentials, while retaining full GM warranty coverage. Sure, the pricing is also a bit steep... at least in Canadian dollars!
