Chevrolet first built up the tension by twitting about Camaro ZL1’s lap time at the Nurburgring, and then released an official video to prove it. The 580-hp muscle car did it in 7 minutes 41.27 seconds. So, is if fast? You bet it is. For starters, it’s almost forty seconds faster than the Camaro SS. The ZL1 is as fast as Porsche 911 Turbo S and Lamborghini Murcielago, and it costs under $50K. It’s awesome.

Watch it in action after the jump.
