00:08 Well, we were planning to bring you the first ever smoky burnout,
00:11 on video at least, of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
00:15 This is the car that just announced today makes 580 horsepower
00:19 with its LSA V8 engine and 556 pound feet of torque.
00:25 As you can see, the weather's not cooperating here in Milford, Michigan,
00:29 home of the General Motors Proving Ground.
00:31 So instead, we've got test driver Aaron Link to drive us around the track.

00:56 So there you have it.
01:03 With 580 peak horsepower, the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 should be a very
01:08 close match on the drag strip with Ford Mustang GT500.

01:13 Motor Trend guesses that next up for the Camaro line is a Mustang Boss 302
01:18 competitor called Z28.
