The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is an incredible machine, proving itself as the most road course capable muscle car ever at the German Nurburgring, but with 650 horsepower the 6G ZL1 is a beast on the drag strip as well.The folks at RPM Motorsports recently took delivery of a 2017 Camaro ZL1 with the new 10-speed automatic transmission and they immediately added headed to the drag strip but only after adding lightweight wheels with drag radial tires and a 100-shot of nitrous with a good tune. They hit the track with the lightly modded Camaro when it had just 60 miles on the odometer, presumably kissing their warranty goodbye but the ends justify the means.The RPM Motorsports team was easily able to become the first to put a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in the 10-second range and after a little work, they became the first 6th gen ZL1 in the 9’s as well. Being the first into the 9s also makes the RPM Motorsports Camaro ZL1 the quickest of its kind in the world. We are guessing that the team doesn"t plan to stop there.Over the next few months, we are likely to see more new Camaro ZL1 breaking into the 9’s and possibly the 8’s, especially with nothing more than nitrous, a tune and tires putting this 10-speed car into the high 9’s. Once shops begin adding extra boost, more fuel and freeing up the exhaust end of the system, power levels will climb and ETs will drop, but for now the RPM Motorsports Camaro ZL1 is the king of the hill.Tags: 2017 chevrolet camaro zl1, camaro, Chevrolet, drag race monday, LT4, RPM Motorsports, ZL1
