We've been <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/06/chevy-camaro-to-underpin-one-of-two-new-gm-vehicles-in-chicago/">hearing some conjecture</a> about what <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/camaro">Camaro</a>-based model would debut at the Chicago Auto Show today, and Tran from Camaro5 would appear to have the answer: The ZL1. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/chevrolet/">Chevrolet</a> press conference isn't scheduled for another hour or so, but wandering the floor seems to have revealed that the expected hi-po pony car will eschew the Z28 designation in favor of ZL1. Either way, it'll pack a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with a six-speed manual as part of a beefed-up driveline.<br />
<br />
Other major features are said to include Magnetic Ride Control suspension, Brembo brakes, competition-spec cooling system, along with unique bodywork including a "Transformers 3 style" front bumper, unique hood and model-specific wheels. Camaro5 indicates that the interior has also been upgraded with a new steering wheel and silver trim. We'll have live pics of the Camaro from the reveal shortly, so stay tuned. <em>Top tips, Jesse and Amber!</em><br />
