I think they'll just drop the hyphen. Isn't LT1 an option code. I believe they hyphenate it to name the engine.

Return of the "King of the Hill" ZR1

Me Likey!!

Maybe NOW it will have enough torque for Danica?

ZR1, Z06, Z51 and Z28 all performance cars.

Yes, the Camaro WILL BE a Z28. SS will be reserved for the Impala.

I'd like to see this bode well for 'SS' being left off the Camaro as well, but unfortunately I doubt it. Much rather have a Z28 and ZL1 Camaro than an SS...

i completely disagree. i'd rather have a camaro ss than any z-code.

There is an SRT viper, why not an SS Vette honestly. and it'd build equity in the SS name, sheesh!

I loved the 90's ZR-1... and it still looks amazing today. Ah, check out those lines... classic already.

I'm glad it's not Corvette SS. ZR1 is pretty cool. Although I really would have preferred Blue Devil. That sounds awesome.
Hmm, although, a modern take on the original Corvette SS would be really freakin' awesome, kind of how Ford revived the GT moniker and styling.

No way. I would love an IROC-Z on my Camaro. That looks totally bad ass. There could also be and SS camaro, but IROC is by far the better name.

ZR1s are cool. I wish the Corvette would go back to the smaller back end like 4th gens had.

embarrassing, when i end up owning one in like 20 years *( a new one, not some used one) I'll take the SS badges off an an SS car and put it on this one.

Corvette SS was a 1000X better name. zr1 sounds like zee ripped a fart at 1pm.

a Corvette SS sounds as good as Michigan's performance in the game against Appalachian State

At least this is one rumor we can put to rest. That is until GM changes things at the last minute.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Good One!!

Hang on sloopy.....sloopy hang on..........

[BigAls87Z28]

Ahhh man, thats awesome. ZR1 is a perfect name, and lets us know that the SS Camaro will not be the top of the line.
Maybe Cobalt will get a Z name when the turbo shows up.
