On the latest episode of Motor Week, “Television’s Original Automotive Magazine” reviewed the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 on the twists and bends of Michigan’s Gingerman Raceway.
“The Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 has GM shooting for the stars,” says presenter John Davis. He cites the wealth of performance-minded improvements gained over the basic SS model: carbon ceramic Brembo brakes, interior weight savings measures, 12″ wide rubber front and back, active two-mode exhaust, and race-bred spool-valve dampers, to name a few.
Oh, and of course, the Z/28′s beating heart: a 505 HP 7.0 liter LS7 small block V8. Motor Week lauded the Camaro’s handling at Gingerman Raceway, finding “grip, grip, and more grip,” said John Davis. “In corners both tight and sweeping, it was easy to find the car’s limits, feeling very much racecar-like.”
