2014 Camaro SS revealed.

So they brought the Z/28 back with 500HP. I have to admit, I like it. I hope Ford whoops their ass with the new 'Stang.

[SS Junk]

It's a parts bin car. Pass.

[01vnms4v]

Still an ugly POS!

All the nerds on the Camaro5 web link are jerking off to their new car

[MattB]

Z/28 is gonna be cool. Ls7 + carbon brakes and -300 pounds. Although I've driven a car with carbon brakes and when they are cold at low speeds during street driving they are very grabby. Curious what the Z/28 price will be.

[CJ-95GT]

Not a fan of either the camaro or mustang right now. Hopefully the looks of both improve in 2015. I would get a vette if I had to choose a new domestic sports car today.

[Sleeper]

well, its no Fairmont or Festiva.

This man speaks the truth.

Different shot of the rear

Z/28! Z/28! Z/28!

Damn that is sexy. I may have a reason to trade in my 2010 soon.

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 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.



The new 2014 Camaro line will arrive at Chevrolet dealers later in 2013. The Camaro Z/28 is expected to be appearing at track events across the United States in spring 2014.

Today, the most-powerful engine offered is the Camaro ZL1’s supercharged 6.2L LSA, which delivers 580 horsepower. The heart of the 2014 Camaro Z/28 is the lighter, naturally aspirated 7.0L LS7 first introduced in the Corvette Z06.

“The LS7 is ideal for road racing because it delivers amazing performance in a compact, lightweight package,” said Jordan Lee, Small Block chief engineer and program manager. “The broad torque curve and high redline of the LS7 mean fewer shifts are required for each lap, while the lightweight design improves the front-to-rear weight balance for better handling.”

Co-developed with Corvette Racing, the hand-assembled 7.0L (427 cid) V-8 uses a number of high-performance components, including:

Titanium intake valves and connecting rods, and sodium-filled exhaust valves
CNC-ported aluminum cylinder heads
Forged-steel crankshaft and main bearing caps
High-lift camshaft
Hydroformed exhaust headers
11.0:1 compression ratio, and a 7,000 rpm redline.
10.5-quart, dry-sump oiling system


For the Camaro Z/28, the LS7 features unique induction and exhaust systems, and delivers at least 500 horsepower (373 kW) and 470 lb-ft of torque (637 Nm).

Th
The Camaro Z/28 is exclusively offered with a Tremec TR6060 manual transmission. The six-speed features close-ratio gearing and 3.91:1 final drive ratio, both optimized for the power characteristics of the LS7.

Power is distributed to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential featuring a helical gear set, rather than traditional clutch packs. The new design enables the driver to apply more power and get through corners faster, by continuously adjusting the torque bias to maximize available traction.

Other examples of weight savings include:

Eliminated the tire-inflator kit, except for Rhode Island and New Hampshire, where it is required by law
Removed interior sound deadener, and carpeting from the trunk
Replaced the standard LN4 battery with a smaller, lightweight, LN3 battery
Specified thinner, 3.2-mm glass for the rear window, compared to 3.5-mm glass on the standard Camaro
HID headlamps and foglights are not available
Air conditioning is only available as a stand-alone option

Man theres some cool shit on that z28. I think it's awesome it's 6 speed only.
Thinner rear window glass? Pretty cool.

[talisman]

I like it. Guess its time to start the modifications on my car.

[Snatch Napkin]

HEY, FORD!!!!

The mustang needs a naturally aspirated 6.2 with at least 500 hp and GT500 suspension, brakes, and driveshaft. kthnxbai
