In a predictably linear fashion, General Motors has uprated the output numbers of one of its new models just before it launches onto the market.
When GM revealed the new 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 at this year's edition of the Chicago Auto Show in February, the company said the coupe's 6.2-liter supercharged V8 would deliver an estimated 550 horsepower and a massive 550 lb.-ft. of torque (745 Nm).
Fast forward to today, and those numbers have jumped to 580-horsepower and 556 lb.-ft. (754 Nm).
