Chevrolet introduced the restyled 2014 Camaro line at the
2013 New York Auto Show, including the return of the Z/28, the most iconic
model in Camaro history.
The 2014 Camaro models feature a revised exterior design
that integrates high-performance aerodynamics for more efficient cooling and
stability at high speeds. The new Chevy Camaro Z/28 also features a full
aerodynamics package that creates downforce at speed, which helps make it the
most track-capable offering in Camaro's history.
"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,"
said Mark Reuss, president, GM North America. "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."
The first Camaro Z/28 was introduced in 1967, created to
compete in the Sports Car Club of America's Trans-Am 2 class. It featured a
smaller, lighter, 302-cubic-inch V-8 for improved weight balance, as well as
quick-ratio steering and a heavy-duty suspension for track use. In keeping with
its road-racing focus, the 1967 Camaro Z/28 was not available with an automatic
transmission or air conditioning.
While the new Camaro Z/28 is not intended to compete in a
specific race series, it is solely focused on track capability. In initial
testing, the Camaro Z/28 is three seconds faster per lap than the Camaro ZL1.
That extra speed comes from three areas:
Increased grip: The Z/28 is capable of 1.05 g in cornering
acceleration, due to comprehensive chassis revisions
Increased stopping power: the Z/28 features Brembo
carbon-ceramic brakes capable of 1.5 g in deceleration, and consistent brake
feel, lap after lap
Reduced curb weight: The naturally aspirated Z/28 weighs 300
pounds less than the supercharged Camaro ZL1, with changes ranging from
lightweight wheels to thinner rear-window glass
Like the original, the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is offered
only with a manual transmission. In a nod to modern convenience,
air-conditioning is available, but only as an option.
