Whats New For 2014

The 2014 chevrolet camaro gets front and rear styling revisions, and welcomes an recent name back out to the family : the z/28.

Introduction

New Cars Reviews - The minor face- and tail-lift regarding the 2014 chevrolet camaro doesnt return as an enormous surprise. An updated look was due, and all new camaros get a wider lower mouth, a compressed higher grille, and the majority notably, one-piece taillamps ( the previous twin-trapezoid design since pawned off out to the malibu and, curiously, the new corvette ). The bigger news, though, happens to be the come as to the z/28 model.

Last seen in 2001, the z/28 returns with the use of a backslash in its name and therefore the track in its heart. Much like the original 1967 camaro z/28, a production car built out to race within the trans-am racing series, the z/28 is street legal and track-ready. Chevy addressed the camaros primary athletic weakness ( mass ) by trimming its fighting weight out to regarding 3, 800 pounds. Thats regarding three hundredunited nations monitors. The unarme pounds under the current camaro king, the zl1. Finally it was accomplished through lighter 19-inch wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes, thinner rear glass, an uncarpeted trunk, minimal sound-deadening material, manual seat adjustment, elimination as to the rear seat pass-through, and putting air-conditioning as well as a stereo by the choices list.

Other then if weight was a weakness, power and grip wont be. Once you build a 7. 0-liter v8, its a shame out to reserve it solely regarding the corvette. The z/28 can use the very same engine found within the current corvette z06, generating 500 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, place out to the rear wheels with a six-speed manual transmission. A dry-sump oil system and transmission and differential coolers ought to facilitate keep the z/28 lapping the sector.

Distinguished aerodynamic bodywork ( fender flares, front and rear spoilers ), four-way adjustable dampers and sticky pirelli trofeo tires ensure the z/28 stays locked out to the bottom. Chevy says the z/28 will pull up out to 1. 06g by the skid pad, higher when compared to a stock porsche 911.

The z/28 interior may also be suitably sparse, its modest highlights as well as special recaro seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel and matte trim end.

The 2014 chevrolet camaro z/28 goes on sale next spring. Chevy calls it a limited-edition model, other then didnt specify how much units it'd create, nor indicate any pricing. Expect it out to land well north as to the current zl1s $55, 000 base price.
