Really? Because from looking at the lap chart, the only "Hot hatch" that was faster was a fully caged Mini race car, which set its fast lap in dry conditions (Go review that video). The Camaro put in a respectable performance given the somewhat damp conditions that it was running in. Truth be told, the Camaro's Pirelli tires are pretty close to being a slick tire. As a result, they begin to properly operate in a much higher temperature window. Go look at other videos of Z/28's on track and you'll see how they do in warmer temperatures. Yeah, it may be a bit heavy and old fashioned, but for what it is, there's no denying that it moves around a track in a pretty impressive manner. Also, I'm not so sure that a fully prepped Mini race car is cheaper than a Z/28. I could be wrong though.

It doesn't matter. They're still so cheaply made that nobody would buy it in Europe. It's a car that does one thing well and absolutely sucks at everything else. You're better off buying a used E92 M3, you'll get a far better car for your money, properly engineered and put together, and will give you a far superior driving experience.

Not bad, it absorb bumps so well through apex and corner exit. I like its DSSV dampers, the damping accuracy is so high and it remains the same damping dynamic in each lap. Also, the faster it goes, more balance it is because it'll roll through more bumps at higher speed which gives the system more accurate average vertical g force for much accurate damping compression and rebound force. The factory suspension adjustment isn't too track focused, the front camber is about 1.5 degree but it actually offers more grip in this condition since there's greater tire contact patch to maintain good front end traction. The toe angle is about 0.1 deg for both front and rear which gives better traction under braking while offering a bit of agility in turning. The front caster is about 5.9 deg. The 305 front tire does offer good steering response but I think 5.9 deg is a bit too small for RWD with power-steering. For drivetrain, the low locking % rear diff is another reason why Z/28 is so stable through apex, the high flexibility of torque splitting makes the rear calmer but not faster because lower locking % will easily cause 1 wheel to spin much quicker than other, especially for RWD. That'll cause the traction control to slow its pace a bit at corner exit, especially at lower gears. The powertrain is fine but torque curve isn't linear enough compared to Mustang GT350R, anyway, the gear ratios are too long for jump in power. Overall, it's a good handling car to me. I will take this over 991 911 Turbo S.

The Head Cam on the driver made that lap look shockingly harsh...but pretty much shows the Camaro on track experience! Hold on and shut up. Love this car because once upon a time that was a 'sports car' in North America. Everyone wanted to be Smokey and the Bandit, not some fashionista in short pants in a Porsche he would never mod (can they lower the 911 please?). I bet the Z28 would win a longest jump contest with all the other track cars - and drive away. LOL
@spdcrzy

LOL that's what the Z/28 is made for though - no modulating the throttle, no delicate steering inputs, no feathering the brake pedal. Just point, shoot, smash, and repeat. In almost any other car (and even most supercars), you'd have to be careful. Not this car. "Careful" makes you dead in this car, because there's too MUCH grip. Too careful and you'll get run over. Too brash is just about right.

Maybe the curve on the outsides of the taillights and that is all. The new Camaro has a cut in the shape at the bottom center. The reverse lights are rectangles inside of the taillight like the old Camaro, where on the Prelude it runs the whole bottom of the taillight. Nice try, troll. Get a real car like a Camaro, not your ricer Honda.

GM should 've refreshed this engine and released it in the C7 Corvette but instead they ended up offering 2 versions of the supercharged 6.2..it wouldve made 550 bhp, been measurably lighter than the c7 z06 with a more balanced weight distribution and with a taller final drive mated to the c7's 7 spd. Tremec manual would've paid homage to the c6 z06 wailing smoothly to 7000 rpm eschewing the staccato power delivery exhibited by every c7 vette. Tragic the c7 had no LS7----

A big part of it is that American cars must meet different (some would say higher) safety standards. that's why many british cars for example (like this from the radical company) aren't street legal in the US, but basically all American cars are legal nearly world wide.

Taking extreme things like the Radicals out of the equation, things like Lotus', Caterhams and other lightweight sports cars are road legal in the US, so it's possible for them to be made.

There is hardly any difference between EU and US car safety, don't kid yourself you have to have an extra 500lbs of steel welded into every car for it to pass regs. "The recent study, sponsored by the U.S. Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, found that occupants of vehicles meeting European Union safety standards have a lower risk of serious injury in frontal or side crashes compared with vehicles meeting U.S. standards. But cars meeting U.S. standards provided drivers and passengers with a lower risk of injury in rollovers."

the z/28 wasn't built from the ground up to be a track car, the 5th gen Camaros used an older Holden chassis designed for sedans and the z/28 has the ls7 from the c6 zo6 which isn't necessarily the best engine for track use. The new platform the 6th gen cars are on would make for a much better starting point
