20 Car Comebacks Auto Fans Waited For

  1. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

Chevrolet killed the Camaro in 2003, leaving Chevy fans without a replacement for seven years until the first retro-looking model arrived. However, most fans are glad that it did since it introduced modern technology, raising the bar for other companies like Dodge and Ford.

Also, most Camaro fans are glad Chevrolet decided to reintroduce the fantastic nameplates from its rich history like the ZL1. Chevrolet took the biggest, most powerful engine GM has, which is the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 and stuffed it into the Camaro.

The result was a 580 HP street terror with a highly advanced Magnetic Ride suspension, performance Goodyear tires and Brembo brakes. The 2012 Camaro ZL-1 was not the one trick pony like its 1969 predecessor was, either. Rather, it is a pure sports car that could put the Porsche 911 to shame. In fact, it can out handle and outrun much more expensive and exotic cars.
