Our 2012 ZL1 "Crystal's" First Hard Launch.MOV

We attended the Internal Combustion BBQ held up in Irwindale CA. I had an opportunity to launch our new 580 HP 2012 ZL1 Camaro "Crystal" safely for the first time today to see how she handled. Absolutely great! Straight and hooked! For you fellow ZL1 Pilots, this is an Auto starting in M (no taps used) in PTM Mode 5 (Race/Active Handling Off), footbrake to 1,000 RPM then gently roll it on to the floor smoothly. This car can stop too!

The front license plate kills it! I know it is illegal not to have one in California, but just take it off... Lol

It's killing me too, but I'm old school - NEVER give the Police and reason to pull you over! Especially in this beast!

Great name for your baby, since the color is Crystal Tintcoat

Why is it so quiet?

[@WackoKillerDan]

Lmao I've seen a Prius launch harder than that
