Yesterday we told you about getting the chance to learn more about the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. Today we're showing you what it's like to ride shotgun in the car as it's flung around the Milford Road Course at General Motors' Proving Grounds. The driver stated that he was only running at 8/10ths, yet we still managed to nearly clip 150 mph on the main straight. This wheelman could brake extremely late for corners, apply power and get it right on demand as he passed the apex, and both of those details meant the Z/28 could enter and exit every corner on the track with tremendous speed. The...

2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Is The Real Track-Focused Deal: First RideChevrolet told us... We were told that the automaker would only bring back the Z/28 moniker if there was a car that warranted the badge.

And now for something (maybe not so) completely unexpected. First, how does a Camaro ZL1 on bias ply slicks lose it altogether midway down a drag strip? Our bet is a poor shift of some sort--either a 3-2 instead of a 3-4 or a really brutal upshift. So maybe that's not so inexplicable. But what happens next is not the most likely result, either for the ZL1 and its driver, or for the driver of the camera car. As the ZL1 begins a tankslapper, the other driver is mid-way through the 3-4 upshift. As soon as the gear is engaged, he's on the brakes, reacting even before the ZL1 comes back to the...

When you're prepping a car to make runway blasts at the Texas Mile, you're going to be curious about how much power the vehicle is making. One competitor is Kelly Bise, and his vehicle of choice is a F-Body Chevrolet Camaro. Not a stock Camaro, mind you. Per Autoblog, this particular car is powered by an engine which benefits from the addition of a pair of turbos. All of the engine work adds up to a hefty dose of power... 1,800 horsepower to the wheels, to be more precise. 1,800 horsepower. To the wheels. Unleash the Kraken! err, the Camaro so we can see what it will do on the dyno. Well, if...

For the Camaro faithful, nothing says “affordable performance” quite like the alphanumerical combination of one letter and two numbers: Z/28. Originally an option code for cars built to compete in the SCCA Trans-Am series, the name stuck and has been associated with fast Camaros since 1967. When the fifth generation Camaro debuted in 2009, it was assumed that a Z/28 version would be launched soon after. Instead, Chevrolet has brought back other legendary trims, such as the ZL1 and the 1LE, both previously associated with competition Camaros. Now, finally, the Z/28 is back...
