This “Turbo” Camaro Is The Most Confusing Camaro Ever This? This is no ordinary Camaro, hombre. Not by a long shot. This is a supercharged L99-powered, 400-hp ZL1-badged widebody Camaro that will soon feature prominently in a DreamWorks 3D comedy called Turbo . What's so confusing?

And three driving positions, and all kinds of other good stuff only four-year old minds can emit. BMW did say they wanted a crack at this, and I'm delighted they actually followed thr...
