The car is also equipped with an innovative off Roush exhaust system, which ensures that the system has a unique hollow chamber muffler design, the sound will not change over time as conventional glass packed exhaust would.

Prices

The 2012 Roush RS3 is priced at $59,945 and will be offered with a 3-year/36,000 mile warranty.

Yeah, I agree that this car has a different designs and detailing. However, I’m just wondering if this "540 hp" is real. If Roush could really make an impressive engine like that then why they didn’t do it to the Camaro and Aveo?

Prices

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Prices

The new Camaro ZL1 go on sale in early 2012. Pricing will be announced later, but we think that it will cost somewhere around competition, and about $ 15 thousand more than the model SS. If we are right and this is included in the price of $ 50,000 the region than it will not be cheap thrills, as the Challenger SRT8, but it can set new performance records for Chevrolet and industry.
