We have been expecting the new 2012 Chevy Camaro ZL1 to hit our showroom floors early next year for some time now. What we weren't expecting was for a fan site to leak the official Chevrolet Dealer Reference Guide.

The contents, as you can imagine are quite juicy. And after weighing it for a while, we decided not only are they too good to keep to ourselves, but that there would simply be no point. What's done is done.
