The first Camaro Z/28 introduced in 1967, was created to compete in the Sports Car Club of America’s Trans-Am 2 class.
A new 2014 Camaro Z/28 running at Germany’s Nürburgring road course posted a 7:37.40 lap time, Chevrolet says. This beats the best times for the Porsche 911 Carrera S and the Lamborghini Murcielago, among other expensive cars that cost much more than the ~$60,000 Z/28.
GM claims that the increased grip of the Z/28 is capable of 1.08 g in cornering acceleration, and the Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes provide 1.5 g in deceleration. The lower curb weight of the naturally aspirated Z/28 – 300 pounds less than the supercharged Camaro ZL1 – also helped the during the performance setting run.
