ZL1 Camaro New Features Update: The Hot Summer's Open Road Fuel For Daydreams

The Summer is a time in Tucson when things get very exciting on the area's many tracks, and just a few minutes South of Interstate 10 on the Pima County Fair Grounds, Tucson Dragway is one of the most exciting and active drag racing facilities in the nation! A variety ranging from The Tucson Dragway Reunion, The Fall Fuel Extravaganza, Roadkill Zip-tie Drags, and the Pure Drag Racing Experience are all coming up and are going to provide many thrills on the track for everyone involved. The Southwest Showdown is a big bucks bracket race that takes place here annually, put on by Chris Forsyth of West Coast Bracket Races, and guaranteed to provide high-octane and spine-tingling excitement during the dog days of any driver's favorite season.

Since we are on the topic of exciting track contenders, the V8 SS Camaro for 2019  has had some of the major details updated: it will now have a super-cool enormous grille, and the sides remain fairly unchanged. The tail area is where you definitely see the most difference: as with the rest of next year's 2019 lineup, the ZL1 gets much larger taillights that have four new illuminated rings, that help give the car a stealthy and properly bullysome vibe. They run much deeper, have more detail than those on the current model, and the bumper has now been changed to match the others by the use of a more simplified lip under the taillights. The rear wing and diffuser appear the same as the last ones, and the same 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque engine appear to be similar, coupled to a six-speed manual, or 10-speed automatic transmission.

 The extractors in the center of the hood have also been changed, and this gives the pony car an even meaner and sleeker appearance than the existing version. Directly under those larger vents in the hood, Chevy will now offer the V8 with its 10-speed automatic, and there are new performance-oriented features like line lock and the ultra-useful launch control. Come see us soon,  and ask us during the fall how you can set your track-ready sights on the 1LE trim, with the 275-horsepower and 295 lb-ft of 2.0 turbocharged 4-cylinder engine: this package comes with a fully upgraded suspension, Track and Competition Mode settings, launch, control, and shift lights.

Once you position yourself inside, the new Camaro features Chevy's Infotainment 3 system that has better graphics and improved Bluetooth connectivity, and the 2SS and ZL1 trims feature a standard rear camera in the mirror as well. There is a 7.0-inch touchscreen as part of the standard infotainment setup for the 2019 Camaro, and an 8.0-inch screen running the latest infotainment 3 system as an option, with or without navigation. It is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and permits a cloud connection for personalized navigation, installation of apps, and vehicle software updates that are sent over-the-air.

The enhanced performance data recorder is the racing enthusiast's dream: come to visit us this fall at O'rielly Chevy, and check out the performance data recorder: it used the best in cutting-edge technology to evaluate every aspect of your drive, making the transition from training to full-fledged track pro a snap!
