Power and performance is exactly what this car is all about.
The Chevrolet Camaro has been a cultural icon within the American performance automotive industry that paved the way for muscle cars everywhere. Competing with the industrious Mustang, this old-school performance vehicle leveled all challengers that opposed its throne. Under the hood was a wide variety of big V8 engines which utilized high displacement and superior design to take on Ford's prized performance model. Along with the Firebird, the Camaro came into its own during the fourth generation of production, which saw the introduction of the incredible LS-engine platform. Here's a car that puts every other performance car to shame with its tremendous power, performance, and good looks.
Under the hood of this 2002 Chevrolet Camaro is a massive 427 cubic inch V8 engine which should be taken very seriously on the road and track. On the exterior, it almost looks like an ordinary LS1, but these V8s should never be underestimated. That's because, as decals on the hood scoop point out, this Camaro makes nearly 600 horsepower. Modern automotive audiences have been spoiled by the creation of 600 and 700-horsepower models recently. However, those cars are typically quite heavy as the 4,000lb mark becomes standard for a performance car. These vehicles only weighed in at around 3600-3800 lbs making that power figure ridiculous.
You might be concerned about the driver's ability to control that much power, which might be a real problem for most cars. However, this model boasts a six-speed manual transmission, allowing for excellent handling and tight control of the car's powertrain. Many automotive enthusiasts have compared this ZL1 Phase III to a supercar, which may be one of the few examples that fit the description well. These performance features make the car incredibly quick for what it is, which means it could probably go head to head with many modern sports and muscle cars of today. That's why you should consider this insane Chevy Camaro for your high-performance automotive collection.
This rare Camaro and many other classic and collector vehicles will be sold at The 2ND Annual Brian Wedding Collection Auction presented by FREIJE AUCTIONEERS- JUNE 24-25TH @ 9 AM CDT. Visit here for more information.
