Fantastic news!!! Let's hope the Corvette owners don't get their panties in a bunch when they find out it has the same motor as the ZO6.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Chevrolet introduced the restyled 2014 Camaro line at the 2013 New York Auto Show, including the return of the Z/28, the most iconic model in Camaro history.

The 2014 Camaro models feature a revised exterior design that integrates high-performance aerodynamics for more efficient cooling and stability at high speeds. The new Chevy Camaro Z/28 also features a full aerodynamics package that creates downforce at speed, which helps make it the most track-capable offering in Camaro's history.

&quot;As the ultimate track-capable Camaro, this car restores the mission of the original Z/28, and serves as a testament to the expertise of Chevrolet as the best-selling brand of performance cars,&quot; said Mark Reuss, president, GM North America. &quot;The build sheet is the wish list of any racer: lightweight, high-revving, dry-sump LS7 engine; carbon-ceramic brakes; integrated coolers for track use; true aerodynamic downforce, and a significant reduction in curb weight. This car could only come from Chevrolet, and could only be called the Z/28.&quot;

The first Camaro Z/28 was introduced in 1967, created to compete in the Sports Car Club of America's Trans-Am 2 class. It featured a smaller, lighter, 302-cubic-inch V-8 for improved weight balance, as well as quick-ratio steering and a heavy-duty suspension for track use. In keeping with its road-racing focus, the 1967 Camaro Z/28 was not available with an automatic transmission or air conditioning.

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.</div></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Good to hear. Styling is an improvement. Looks a bit busy/heavy out back though (color keyed spoiler?). Nice to see them down-size the bow tie up front. Indications that the car will be under 4K lbs (i.e. 300 lbs lighter than the ZL1). Sounds like this car will do its talking with its performance!!! </span>[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

thats the 2014 .... its going to be a heavy hitter... looks sharp

Re: The Z28 Camaro is back!.....
 

I seen this announced earlier and ignored the story until I heard mention that the LS-7 was being dropped in! It is inherently cool that the day has returned where a fellow can buy a brand new 427 Camaro (that sure has a nice ring to it!) from any dealership in the country. I'm almost glad to NOT be shopping for a new musclcar because I could never make up my mind which one I wanted: ZL-1 Camaro, Z-28 Camaro, Shelby GT500 Mustang, or Boss 302!
