The COPO 9560 "ZL1" camaro was a very special car, and to say it was a super car was an understatement, the ZL1 camaro was capable of a 10.05 in the 1/4 mile with the right person behind the wheel, and this was off of the show room floor, of course with slicks added, and the headers uncorked, not a lot of mods to achieve a 10 second 1/4 mile huh. The ZL1 camaro came with a 427 CID all aluminum big block chevy the was rated at 430 hp from the factory, which of course was an underrating, the flywheel hp was closer to 721 hp, big underrating huh lol, this car was nothing short of a terrifying ride for those who were not ready for the ZL1 camaro's awesome display of raw power and torque. There were only 69 of the cars ever built, so you can imagine how hard they are to find, commanding prices of over $800,000 dollars on the auction circuit, the ZL1 camaro was a car that would never be produced again after 1969, with the rising price of fuel, and the whining of the insurance companies that had to insure them, it just kind of came to a quiet death in 1969. This was without question one of the most awesome cars ever built, and still to this day it's one of the most powerful cars ever built, to the look it was a plain Jane camaro, with no fancy rims, it just had a Chevrolet dog dish hub caps on regular steel rims, it had no emblems on the car denoting engine size, the only thing this car had for external appearance items was a cowl induction hood, no racing stripes, as far as I remember the car came in black, yellow, red, blue, and orange. The ZL1 had no fancy amenities on the inside either, it did not come with a center console, it just had a Hurst shifter sticking out of the floor, a few of the did come with the RS option, which added hide-a-way head lights to the car, but other then that, you'd never guess by looking at one of these cars, what it was capable of doing to you in a race, this car could scare the devil back to hell.
