2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 First Drive

I have a confession to make. Sitting at the lunch table after thrashing the 2012 Camaro ZL1 on track–unrestricted, an opportunity offered to only a few of us at Firebird International Raceway, home of the Bondurant Racing School–I made a spontaneous association and foolishly blurted it out. I compared the ZL1 to the 2012 Porsche 911.

Specifically, I realized, while mentally re-visualizing the last set of laps, that from turn-in to apex, under fast entry speeds with a fair amount of trail brake, the ZL1 felt, acted, and moved almost exactly like the 2012 911 did under similar circumstances. People around the table looked at me with a mixture of surprise and disbelief, some likely making notes to self that I might, in fact, be slightly soft in the head.
