The Camaro has been a huge hit for Chevrolet and today the company made several announcements relating to the heavily anticipated Camaro ZL1. Chevy said that the ZL1′s monster engine will be rated at 580 horsepower and that the base price of the vehicle will be $54,995. It’s quite a vehicle to introduce as Chevy celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. The new ZL1 coupe is a 2012 model that will go on sale early next year.

The Camaro ZL1 features a supercharged 6.2L engine that makes it the most powerful production Camaro ever. The ZL1 goes from 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds and hits a top speed of 184 miles per hour! It also features a Performance Traction Management system that helps this beast hug the corners.

Chevy will also introduce a ZL1 convertible as a 2013 model that they featured at an event ahead of the 2011 LA Auto Show and Bullz-Eye was on hand to snap some photos of this beautiful vehicle as you can see in the slideshow above. Anyone who appreciates convertibles will love this vehicle. (Source)

We looked at the new Camaros last month. No, of course we can't afford the ZL1, but they do make Camaros with V6's if you're poor like we are. Then again, they're still well over $30k. I love the body style. It's very similar to the old Dodge Charger body style (<2011), or the recent Challengers. We chose the Charger, and it's a 2011, so the body style is somewhat different. It doesn't have that raised rear-end, or it's not as prominent. And price-wise it was very reasonable.

Wife's Our New Ride

2011 Dodge Charger SE Rallye, Blackberry Pearl exterior (basically a really dark blue), black interior.. 292 hp 3.6-liter V6 VVT Pentastar engine.. Keyless entry & start.. Cruise.. Awesome stereo. It's a lotta car for not a lotta money! Supposed to be 18-27 MPG (city-hwy), but we shall see. It's a really sweet drive. Superb handling, excellent brakes, tight suspension, and nice & quiet inside.

The World’s Largest Game Of Dodgeball

From EdJournal's YouTube page, but discovered at Unique Daily, this is insane!!

I played dodgeball as a kid.. well in junior high. I think maybe even in HS a few times. All I remember about it is getting pelted by a ball when you least expect it! And you're out for a while. That part sucked.

Here's an incredible video by the University of Alberta.. apparently breaking the record for most players competing in a single dodgeball game. The camera work is spectacular, and makes a great video. The game itself? Ehh... Decide for yourself:



I didn't see a whole lot of camera time being devoted to people getting hit, nor walking off upset because they just got plastered. Lastly, I'd love to know what type of strategy would be employed for a team of, say, 600 to win the game?! Kinda like the strategy for tennis doubles - only in tennis you get a bunch of points. In dodgeball there are no time outs.
