2015 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 - One Take

[@Jack9788]

This guy has two nice whips in the garage and one on his chin

[@bigtrenian]

lmao

[@Zach4046792]

best comment i've seen in my entire life

[@AllAmericanKel]

Swear to god the funniest comment I've read all year

[@BingBangBrine]

Hahahahahaha

[@THATMOFODIRT]

Damn, just murdered that dude hhahaha

[@ssaini5028]

This car is rare af, never ever seen one on the road

[@_chipchip]

Love it when people who buy these cars drive them properly. Dudes a legend, love that corolla too.

[@TheBigChief001]

This guy looks like he should be a playable character in Mortal Kombat.

[@mustangfanboy5783]

No lie. I think I've used this nigga in Mortal Kom Dude was fye.

[@Agui86]

Lmao tru tru.

[@josiahthibodeaux]

With so many great cars out here I honestly don’t know why anyone would shackle themselves to a particular brand. This is an Amazing machine!

[@DelTalkoh]

best looking Camaro produced IMO.

[@YoureAdopted1]

Jay Leno wants his thumbnail back

[@BingBangBrine]

lol

[@dakotasimpson8952]

lmao

[@realtywithseankemp9704]

I love how all these kids think about numbers and stats..Get in the car, drive it..Numbers don't matter when you get in the car and have a blast.

[@AlastorTheNPDemon]

That is some insane corner speed! Big tires and a nice aero kit really pay off.

[@Minalover100]

Thanks for 17 minutes. Lovin' it...

[@DevPack]

Man Ford, GM, and Dodge killing it with super track cars these days. Gt350R, upcoming Zl1, and the ACR. Awesome!

[@khunopie9159]

Matt, you need to get one of those braided chin dealies

[@TheLowCodist]

This dude listens to Dream Theater, for sure. What a bad ass car.

[@adamrozman]

LOL

[@Rambler_13]

Lol, the rope on his chin is screaming “pull me under!”

[@Cogito1978]

What a cool dude and I totally see his point on buying this car. I think you guys should do some "track one takes" together cause you are of like minds and skill.

[@Armen567]

Sat in a 2015 1LE. Loved the look and bang for the buck factor. Deal breaker was the headroom. No way to get a helmet on for track days.

[@cameronferrante4717]

one day i will have one. such a beautiful car omg

[@realtalk4689]

I really like the way that car sounds and performs.

[@colindavis2031]

it looks like you just took Jay Leno's picture of the z28...

[@renerios1056]

My dream car. I love the z28 and the zl1.

[@manher4335]

Man, those twisties are beautiful. To take this car or any car with similar abilities out there would be so much fun. Admittedly, would end up a new hobby of mine lol.

[@I_dont_read_responses]

If I had a beard like that I would just stroke it while Matt drove. No point in wasting time.

[@AMeN3k]

Lmao!

[@markstoys11]

Damn!!! I wish I had thought of that.

[@josiahthibodeaux]

My uncle looks just like this guy, now I must reconsider getting one of these again what a car!

[@jordanridgeway4601]

It's going to be a good day, been waiting on this one for awhile!

[@gmaxsc]

Same i was stoked to see this one take finally!

[@gonzalesg0221]

C&D's Lighting Lap at VIR the Z/28 has a 2:50.9 lap time vs the GT350R running a 2:51.8

[@pjwashington5818]

let em know!

[@davidgonzalez4665]

the GT350R was faster by about a second at willow springs when driven by MT, whats your point? Different cars suit different tracks, and both are fantastic cars. Why can we just leave it at that?

[@gonzalesg0221]

It was Chuckwalla MT tested them at, don't know why. My point is just to inform, no one seems to know that the Z/28 has logged faster times on certain tracks, they are both awesome cars especially at their MSRP

[@pjwashington5818]

I'm glad you said that. A lot of people don't know

[@VaunShiz]

+gabe120 how do you know if motortrend did the lap that the 350 wouldn't be fast? Have you seen the videos of the laps? Lol what a joke to use those in a conversation

[@marioneilly4960]

My favorite Camaro.

[@pretzil16]

Mark looks like the bassist in System of A Down

[@v_alexiadis]

Absolute beast! Love it!

[@TransAmsandDashcams]

Not sure which is more twisted, Mark's beard or his seatbelt.

[@livalittle100]

You have just made my day.

[@MikeBeazy]

take this W

[@hummer149]

Nice All Blacks jacket!!

[@sp4nrs]

From the NZ trip :)

[@wobblysauce]

Also likes Rugby.

[@NorthernUnion13]

He likes rugby, just lost all respect for Matt.

[@ChaosphereIX]

Amazing car, and that 7.0L is a real beast. Looks better than the new gen: Damn GM really swung and missed with the current design language. Not even a muscle car guy, but this car is all kinds of boss.

[@frenchieblack1]

Speaking objectively, the new gen is ugly and their sales pale in comparison to the new Mustang that it out performs.

[@ChaosphereIX]

frenchie2017 looks do matter...if the platform is good, it has to look good too to be a success...a platform itself is not enough [unless the ugly look is intriguing or challenging Il Monstro style]

[@ChaosphereIX]

crazybrains777 name a good looking current gen Chevy....yeah there isn't one. Corvette doesn't count.

[@frenchieblack1]

we can all agree what looks good and what doesn't, why cant GM

[@ChaosphereIX]

frenchie2017 nepotism?

[@hertzer2000]

Matt, never stop making these videos! Is there any chance of you posting footage of you getting tickets?! lol Be safe.

[@dougb3740]

Does anyone know if Z/28 owners have to worry about the valve issues that the ZO6 owners are having? Or did GM fix it on the Z/28?

[@Pigeonbutter8790]

That beard tho! He looks as wise as Dumbledore. Great one take!

[@cls63amgwagon34]

Wait the GT350R has 305 fronts???????

[@TheSmokingTire]

Yes, 305 fronts and 315 rears

[@cls63amgwagon34]

+TheSmokingTire that's insane! I thought the Z28 still had just the widest tires, didn't realize the 350 got even close let some wider

[@Len1977gt]

dude, what are you smoking? The GT350R is a monster. of course its gonna have the widest tires

[@antdx316]

BMW equips the 2016 X6 M 285/40-20 Front 325/35-20 Rear with a 285/40R20 front tire and a 325/35R20 rear tire. X6M has the widest..

[@tank2g2]

X6M isn't even a car not sure how you think that is related to these two sports cars

[@MrMister1227]

Why did they use Jay Leno's Z28 thumbnail picture?

[@alohaohana9247]

maybe they got lazy.

[@DStabs720]

What is the problem with driving in it MT? I know there is snow for a couple of months, but people act like there are no roads up here! We don't ride horses to work I promise haha.

[@TheSmokingTire]

I mean you can't use the car year round.

[@DStabs720]

I know just giving you some shit. Just slap some snow tires on that puppy haha.

[@bottomlayer]

This x1000

[@AimForTheBushes908]

lol, I hear MT has some great driving roads. Always wondered what it would be like living up there. In FL btw.

[@Carstuff111]

I drove a Z/28, and my one and only complaint has to do with the steering. It was too numb for a car with that much potential, but OMG, if that was my only complaint, that says a lot! I didn't mind the bouncy ride, I have been in much worse.

[@markstoys11]

Did you drive it in PTM 5? The steering has much more feel in that mode. I don't think it rides that bad either--although my Corolla is a little smoother.

[@Carstuff111]

I did not get a chance to play with any of the settings. That said, I am old school, I drive a car with no power steering, so a lot of modern cars feel too light for my taste. That said, out of the modern cars I have driven, this is THE car I would own. It felt as light as my 1992 Honda Civic DX, yet felt like I could move mountains with the torque, and just... yeah, I want one, baaad. I know there are faster cars, better equipped, so on and so forth, but this car speaks to me. I would have to do a few mods if I ever did own one though: Dark green metallic paint, and HID headlights. Make it my own RS packaged Z/28.

[@BingBangBrine]

did you get it@@Carstuff111

[@Sicksan14]

That dude has a serious goatee.

[@georgemerusi299]

I have a 2015 Z/28 and just did a track day at LRP. The CCB are no joke! 3 sessions of ~15 laps per session and seeing 130-135 MPH to 65 MPH at the end of the straight with no fade at all. Consistent neck straining stops on lap 1 til lap 50 at the end of the day.

[@shobin05]

His beard...that's all I'm sayin..

[@skunkhollow1]

He needs to fucking chop that shit off, it looks like an old coyote turd thats gone white

[@kingofcircs]

LMFAO

[@slaWterCH]

This is a brute force style car for sure.

[@rubberwoody]

that'd be the ZL-1

[@shodancat1000]

The engine is really the only brute force thing about it. The rest of it is state of the art chassis, suspension, brakes and wheel engineering... which is exactly why I love this car so much, and why I think it's the best car GM has made in quite a few decades. I agree with the owner of this one, that this is one of the VERY few cars out there that I would feel 100% satisfied with and would not want to modify a single thing about it. Everything from the wheels, stance, exhaust to the power level is just so perfectly balanced. All that and it looks sharp to boot.

[@a.burrell2559]

Hey Matt. Question, I've noticed that you have driven both the Z/28 and the ZL1. I own a ZL1 but everybody praises the LS7. Which would you prefer the LS7 or the LSA like in the ZL1? Also would you compare the ZL1 to the Z/28 is the ZL1 close to the Z/28 as far as trackability (made up that word)?

[@TheSmokingTire]

The ZL1 is the better road car for sure. It's not as stiff or darty as the Z28, and makes more torque down low. On a track, you want the Z28; the ZL1 doesn't have the tire or brake to keep up with that thing.

[@frenchieblack1]

Finally, I love this car... Also, both the gt350r and the Z28 put down the same amount of power on the dyno in spite of the "Voodoo engine"

[@Armen567]

The Z28's motor is a 7.0L. That Ford's much smaller n/a 5.2L motor puts out similar numbers is pretty amazing actually. I too love both cars.

[@frenchieblack1]

Right, no the flat plain crank is impressive but GM does well at sparing us all the superlatives to make strong uncomplicated engines. And the fact that it's ten years old makes it the underdog.

[@Armen567]

Agree. I love the GT350R and the engine tech is impressive, but I don't know how many car guys care about that as long as the power is there.

[@frenchieblack1]

Both great cars, granted the GT350R still turns a faster lap.

[@frenchieblack1]

***** Nice! Yea I don't pay car & driver enough attention anymore

[@BXRchampion1993]

Gt350 fan all day. But this car is my guilty pleasure.

[@angelo1000r]

Great Vid!!! 2015 Black Z28 is my next whip!

[@johnd5805]

Thank you Matt for the video.

[@rubberwoody]

the best sounding car in Forza 6

[@shaft9000]

The best cross-plane crank engine sound, indeed. SLR Moss edition in forza4 as well. I'm partial to the LFA going from 5th to 6th flat out... but the bee's knees is the lancia 036 on cams tuned to >300hp (all from just a FI i4 in there. sacrilege!)

[@rubberwoody]

shaft9000 if we are going with all forzas the E63 AMG from forza 3 is pretty ridiculous

[@DerickZ28]

In FM4, I LOVED the way the 2000 Cobra sounded.

[@rubberwoody]

stonecoldtrk the 1995 cobra R sounded like a demon but only from the rear

[@Keyvan100]

hey Matt. big fan of the show. how does this compare to the 2017 Camaro SS 1le? Haven't seen that comparison anywhere.

[@jesterokjones4954]

What a beautiful setup Chevy made with this car! They should've made it with a Yenko badge to stay true to original badging. I would've loved to have seen them make a SUPER LIGHT version of this gen Camaro with a smaller displacement small block V8 and called it the Z/28. Would've loved to see them de-stroke the 5.3 to 5.0 litera for a true 302. Ford is squeezing 480 out of their 302 cubic inch engine, Chevy could do it too, but unfortunately the market just isn't there. A limited run would've been cool though!

[@massifaiva6778]

Great jacket mate

[@simplistek]

definitely proper. hey Matt, we definitely should get a trackday going with all the TST one takers.

[@dougb3740]

I bought my 2015 Z/28 used for $46000. With only 700 miles on it.

[@wolfman2926]

Doug Blanco how do you like it? I’m thinking of getting one🏁😎

[@dougb3740]

It’s Awesome!! I love the seating position. The Recaro seats are wicked comfortable.I wanted a black one but ended up with a red one. Which still looks really good!!

[@wolfman2926]

Doug Blanco that’s awesome bro🏁

[@eastoakland-S65feen]

Do track it at all??

[@jordanridgeway4601]

Matt, we need you on the Joe Rogan Experience again; it's been too long! And bring Chris too!

[@bigpotpoker1]

uhh no. matt is a smug prick.

[@jordanridgeway4601]

bigpotpoker1 Well, I guess that will have to be an episode you skip, problem solved

[@theways1234]

+bigpotpoker1 says the one watching his videos

[@bigpotpoker1]

Jordan Ridgeway You always get that mad when someone doesn't agree with you?

[@jordanridgeway4601]

No, usually it's much worse, and I just kick and scream until I get what I want

[@iantownsend5480]

Sounds fantastic mind all LS motors do

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

did a few pulls with one of these . from 0-60 this thing would pull and sound amazing . freeway speeds was easy lunch tho

[@Sumdumdad]

I'm glad they fixed the front end :)

[@DzastinasLTL]

This is one of couple American cars I'd consider buying if I won the lottery or something :D

[@rubberwoody]

it's not even that expensive

[@DzastinasLTL]

It is when you get the minimum salary a month (~420 dollars with current eur/usd rate).

[@TheBikemaster94]

there's still good options for regular working people, hemi 300,magnum, and lt1 Camaro going for 4k . Prob high mileage so great if you want to turn those into track carz

[@DreamWorkDrive]

My favorite car right now.

[@AimForTheBushes908]

Matt, best tire for the money??? Give me your top 3 choices.

[@vwgolfer1873]

Hey Matt i was just getting ready to ask you how the car felt inside smooth or bumpy and you answered it at 5:00 thanks

[@josiahthibodeaux]

You have to do a heads & cam mod for this thing. Some guy in my neighborhood’s got one of these with those mods “MAN!” There’s literally nothing I’d rather listen to.

[@theexplodedguys264]

I gonna get this

[@1bojanbojan]

Sounds and looks great!

[@XxViciousxX]

Such a sweet car.

[@SforSytosis]

such an amazing car

[@SforSytosis]

what?

[@RealziesCuts]

Thank God for this vehicle & enjoy your blessing, Team Jesus Winning with Z28 energy 💫🏆🛋🦍🥇✊🏆 I need an LS7 in my life

[@ducfandan1117]

The Chris Harris anecdote is funny. He also had pretty high praise for the Z/28, even compared it to an epic benchmark manual handling car: a 911 GT3 RS (997). I think that comparison alone was flattering to the Z/28. Pretty rarified air. Since Ford raised the bar with the GT350R, can't wait to see what GM responds with using a sixth-gen chassis. Some exciting cars, and attainable to those of us in the middle class as well!

[@markstoys11]

Harris's comments were what convinced me to actually buy a Z/28. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford a GT3.

[@TheNocturnalShadows]

Matt getting thinner? Looking good dude!!

[@ikbendusan]

not really

[@dominicancheif117]

+Dušan Pešić cameras add 10 pounds

[@ikbendusan]

if anything cameras remove 10 pounds when using a wide angle lens, which the go pro is

[@PittiesAndMore]

Nice review. I have a question for you. Do you have an understanding with the CHP? The last time I tried to go up to ACH I was pulled over by the CHP not for a moving violation but for having a modified axle back exhaust on my 2017 WRX which was certified legal by a state referee afterwards.

[@markstoys11]

ACH is very heavily patrolled. There are many roads less traveled, and if you go at the right time you see very little law enforcement.

[@ThisGuyDrives]

I met a guy a few blocks from my house a couple months ago that has one. I have a 14 1LE and it is amazing. At least it was until I took a ride in his Z/28. Car is an absolute monster! Anyone that says otherwise is without a doubt a douchebag.

[@mikehogan5087]

is it faster than the 5th gen zl1??

[@jacobreed47]

I want this car so bad!!!

[@svt101]

Matt did you get your 350R yet?

[@Knezicdex]

Matt any chance you go back to 30 fps videos? Please?I can't playback 60fps hd, it stutters heavily...

[@73encasedmetal]

such an awesome car. I rue the day that Mark Stielow isn't involved in developing the camaro for GM.

[@nakian5316]

Is the thumbnail from this video the same as Jay Leno's review of the Z/28? It looks identical.

[@NovemberFoxtrotRC]

The seat belt is going to bug the shit out of me for this whole video...

[@bloo.]

Damn you, now that's all I'm gonna pay attention to.

[@rcunknown5303]

"glass shattering" damn you now that's all I can see lol

[@vtr0104]

I was watching it and thinking "Moog from MCM would really like this guy..."

[@High_strung_rc]

Anti Hero thanks for making me notice #annoying

[@thasmydjay]

@thesmoking tire would you rather get a z28 or zl1?

[@CGeso]

goals

[@0to60videos]

I'd rather have this over a 6th gen!

[@Tonyisgaming]

Wait for the 6th gen Z/28

[@fukjabi]

shut yo dumbass up

[@johnd5805]

The ZL1 is a beast as well. With the lighter and better chassis. Hold on.

[@Dylan-xj8tb]

+sleepybird09 lol what? a 6th gen 2ss starts at 40k...the 5th gen 2ss started at 38....the 5th gen z28 started at 75k

[@Tonyisgaming]

***** Right... and do you know why they dropped so significantly? The new platform. Everyone and their grandmother knows the Z/28 was the best they could do with that last gen platform. This new platform has a much higher ceiling of potential and when they drop the LS7 in it it's going to decimate the last gen Z/28 and make it look like a joke.

[@ckole11]

What about the C6 Z06/Z07 ? I don't hear anyone mention that when talking about Chevy. It's a lighter chassis with a lower center of gravity with the LS7 carbon brakes and magnetic dampers and I'm sure they're cheaper. Are they hard to come by? Review one!

[@peterthomson7530]

whens the abarth 500 going up on video

[@3rdGenGuy]

RIP LS7, you will be missed

[@anhiirr]

im sure there will still be various aftermarket options both all aluminum or iron block aluminum head etc

[@3rdGenGuy]

andola jackson GM has been selling LSX 427s for a while.now. We just won't see one in a production car anymore

[@irvingm7961]

How much would one of these cost now?

[@zkljaja]

Having a feel Matt would be gr8 at Slav squatting with that adidas tracksuit and Pumas...hmmm

[@camaro_kyle6851]

the grip king

[@adriancortez2000]

Chop Suey!

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

The Mustang equivalent might be the better total package, but I think the Z/28 looks cooler. I wouldn't say no to a rip in either weapon, however.

[@omarfmercado]

It's crazy how they took the not so sporty Zeta platform and built a Z/28 out of that.

[@VaunShiz]

Lol you are tripping the z28 looks like a v6 camaro with a lip and fender flairs lolol

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

Clous von I'll be sure to ask you what my opinion should be next time.

[@xxroyalxtigerxx]

Clous von I don't personally like camaros, but thats how the sportier trim works on almost every car model sold today

[@ak_sprite]

Clous von that’s every car

[@razerone49]

Them bouncin around was hilarious lol. I'd hate that as a daily. Been there done that with track tubs surpr soon setups driven daily as it gets old and tiring real quick.

[@robertjdm]

This car is for all the people that say "American cars can't go around corners " ! Stick this I your pipe!

[@VaunShiz]

No you can thank almost not street legal tires that last 1 month lol

[@MrRaitzi]

Any car or boat will go around corner when you u put 305 tires in the front.

[@d1sturb3d119]

Only the dumb still say that. People are just salty these Camaro's do what the M4 does at 80k.

[@markstoys11]

HEY--they last TWELVE whole months!!!

[@DuBstep115]

Pitty that this car cost 140k in here and M4 costs 70K

[@armouredthug5154]

this is my dream ride !! pitty it cost 40k AUD to switch to RHD

[@youjustgotowendbyme]

Keep it lhd?

[@sp4nrs]

Aussie rules are a bit funny on that aren't they?

[@armouredthug5154]

bloddy terrible mate ! if it's a heritage listed LHD is all good. but if its a new car, you have to.

[@ThmsPtrsn]

damn same reason why i want a XR6

[@armouredthug5154]

Tom u in the USA ?

[@Ranciopolis27]

beautiful camaro even more than the zl1

[@LongRangeDesertGroupX]

I noticed the thumbnail for this video is the same one Jay Leno used in his video but zoomed in slightly lol.

[@maxhi88]

Why wouldn't you use this car in Montana ? (European here)

[@cls63amgwagon34]

I'm not exactly sure, but I know a lot of companies do vehicle testing in Montana, but I'm sure that would have been on the vehicle history. That's my guess

[@vertualpizza9483]

montana is flat basically everywhere and i'm guessing matt is talking about taking it to a street where he can really test it's cornering, such as through canyons, because he praised its ability so much.

[@AkronKid330]

maybe because of the snow? I think he meant for a daily driver in Montana which wouldn't be a brilliant idea to do

[@vertualpizza9483]

yeah that's a good guess too.

[@AkronKid330]

Jake Lewis I'm almost guaranteed that's what he meant. And Montana is flat? Thought it was mountains lol

[@rcairforceone]

Matt you're 6'3" right? It drives me insane wondering if I'll fit in one of these with a helmet! I've got a track day coming up and I want to get into a 1LE or Z/28, but I'll only have a few weeks to find and tweak one before the MVP Turkey Trot.

[@itsminas25]

Watch from 4:30

[@rcairforceone]

I've seen the video entirely. The Camaro guys swear it depends on if you have long legs or long torso.

[@itsminas25]

rcairforceone sorry i misread your comment. See if you can find somebody in the Camaro club who lives near you and will let you sit in their car.

[@hoofixrman]

did gm fix the exhaust valve issue on the ls7 camaro z28 that plagued the c6z?

[@SWFabrication.]

I love the Z/28, like they had mentioned, stock for stock all you need in one small package. But, would be even more of a beast with a little work.

[@JustFun-bm8dz]

When did Techno Viking's Dad get a Z28?

[@williamheinsinger7390]

Beast 💪

[@sirhoonsalot6672]

oh hell yes I got to ride in this guy's car and it MOVES. lol you can see my trash wagon in the back, lurking.
