The ZL1 is the epitome of the Camaro, the go-faster variant with a supercharged V8 from the C7 Z06. The muscled-up pony also happens to be rather expensive at $63,995 excluding destination charge and the gas-guzzler tax, and for another $7,500 on top of that, the 1LE Extreme Track Performance Package adds a carbon-fiber rear wing.
Owners of the ZL1 without the 1LE option are now able to order the carbon-fiber wing for the princely price of $5,400 excluding installation and shipping, which is a lot of greenback by all accounts. But on the upside, the standalone accessory fits the Camaro SS and it promises to boost your car’s rear aero downforce by 284 percent.

Available exclusively in Exposed Weave Carbon Fiber, the sexy-looking wing can be paired with the Camaro SS Front Fascia Extension or Ground Effects Kit for improved aerodynamic balance and handling on the track. In terms of warranty, Chevrolet Performance is much obliged to offer coverage for 12 months or 12,000 miles.

64.76 inches long and 8.7 inches tall, the 1LE-styled wing may require drilling if your Camaro hasn’t been specified with a spoiler from the factory. Speaking of which, Chevrolet Performance can also treat you to a wicker bill-type spoiler or a ZL1-styled spoiler for much less money. These two are listed at $395 and $495, respectively.

For the 2021 model year, the Camaro is available to order from $25,995 for the 1LS with the 2.0-liter turbo and six-speed manual. The most affordable V6 is $28,090 while the LT1 trim level with the small-block V8 retails from $34,995 excluding freight. Despite the vast number of choices and endless options, the golden bowtie has a bit of trouble with its pony in the United States as far as sales are concerned.

As a brief refresher, the third quarter of 2020 was particularly hard for the Camaro because only 8,366 units were moved. Compare that figure with 13,851 examples of the Mustang and 16,332 units of the Challenger, and you’ll understand why Chevrolet doesn’t want to comment on the Gen 7 program’s alleged cancellation.
