I think I saw an "upbadged" ZL1
I noticed the car at the gas station. It had Zl1 on the back but the hood looked like a stock V6 hood. His license plate said ZL1(something) I just found the hood to be really weird for a ZL1. Just a stock V6 hood. Was wondering if it was possibly upbadged. Just seemed interesting/weird.

No way it was a ZL1, not unless they changed the entire front clip as the hood, front nose and fenders are different on the ZL1 from the other Camaro models.

Should've waited to hear him start it, be a dead give-away.

True that the front fascia and fenders are unique but I'm quite sure the hood parimeter shape is the same as lower models

Then again many have added this to their Challengers/Chargers.

Why didn't you snap a photo with your smartphone? Maybe it was a refreshed zl1...? But that would mean the zl1 hood will soon be on the RS... yay!

Yeah sorry about the no picture evidence. I was mostly concerned about the reasoning to modifiying the front of a ZL1 to... not look like a ZL1? I would imagine that if one was to upbadge and add it into their license plate that they would make a greater effort into giving the illusion of driving a ZL1
