The Seven Best Chevy Camaros Of All Time And The Three Worst

December 15, 2017

1994 ZL1 Prototype

The 1994 ZL1 prototype Camaro was too insane to ever be considered for mainstream production. It went to places that cars never really did, even in the golden age of muscle cars. Its all-aluminum engine had a displacement of 9.4 liters, and a quarter mile was nailed down like a piece of plywood, eleven seconds straight. This engine was paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and the whole package rode on racing suspension.

This was a Camaro that could do a lot more than go in straight lines. Even if it did have to drink essentially a month’s output of Texas’ oil every couple of miles, it is so insane that I can’t help but fall for it. There’s no rhyme or reason to its existence, but that’s just fine. Not every car needs a high-minded purpose: sometimes you just wanna go fast, and that’s exactly what this prototype was good at.
