The first Camaro Z/28 was built with a smaller and lighter 302-cubic-inch V8 engine, quick-ratio steering, and a heavy duty suspension to compete in the Sports Car Club of America's Trans-Am 2 class. The road-racing 1967 Camaro Z/28 was not available with an automative transmission or air conditioning either.
Drastically updated from the original model, the newest Z/28 has become the most track-capable offering in Camaro's history! 2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28 Details include the 2014 Camaro's updated exterior design along with a full aerodynamics package that creates downforce at speed. Solely focused on track capability, increased grip, increased stopping power, and reduced curb weight allowed the 2014 Camaro Z/28 to perform 3 seconds faster that the Camaro ZL1 in initial testing. In fact, the Z/28 is a whopping 300 pounds lighter than the ZL1! The heart of the 2014 Camaro Z/28 is the lighter, naturally aspirated 7.0L LS7. Staying true to its roots, the Z/28 is offered only with a manual transmission and comes with air conditioning, but only as an option.
“As the ultimate track-capable Camaro, this car restores the mission of the original Z/28, and serves as a testament to the expertise of Chevrolet as the best-selling brand of performance cars. The build sheet is the wish list of any racer: lightweight, high-revving, dry-sump LS7 engine; carbon-ceramic brakes; integrated coolers for track use; true aerodynamic downforce, and a significant reduction in curb weight. This car could only come from Chevrolet, and could only be called the Z/28.”
