2012 Chevy Camaro ZL1 To Come Packing 580 HP

The muscle cars have a new king.

Chevrolet has announced that its upcoming 2012 Camaro ZL1 will come packing 580 hp under the hood when it goes on sale early next year, which would make it the most powerful muscle car in America and a good deal more potent than the current top of the line Camaro SS with its 426 hp V8.

When it was first unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show this past February, the folks from Chevy said that the ZL1 would have at least 550 hp, but clearly were keeping the truth close to the vest.
