Downsides of the Camaro Z28

[@TheWarfare07]

In terms of visual point of view, I love this car i mean the side panels and the bodykit as well as the front splitter just makes this car look so aggressive. thats probably my favorite part about this car.

[@Jsg2313]

#4 in my opinion is a good thing. Imagine this: you pull up to a red light right next to an m series/ Porsche or another big name brand car. You begin taunting it wanting to race to the next light and the owner and all the cars around you think you're being stupid and are going to get embarrassed but as soon as the light turns green your Z28 launches like a freaking rocket leaving the other car in the dust. The smile on your face and the feeling would be priceless!

[@xtravisxmanx]

Jose Gomez Yep same theory as a sleeper. The look on their face will be priceless!

[@davidmitchell5638]

Jose Gomez well Z/28 is not a straight line monster! so for me i take ZL1 or better yet Chevy SS yes that ugly Malibu look alike bitch! but if you want sleeper you better go to the extreme. but i like class a little bit so i go with M5.

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

Z28 is not meant for drag racing. It's meant to eat tight corners for breakfast.

[@Whizzly602]

Jose Gomez well, if someone knows enough to buy an M series BMW, I'm sure they'd know about a z28 Camaro so yeah lol unless if it's some rich person who leased it and knows nothing about cars. Lol

[@Russian5]

Jose Gomez Unless it's raining... or cold... or really cloudy.

[@carholic5776]

The moment anyone sees you pull up in a Z28, there gonna know its no base model Camaro! That's like saying there are people that are gonna mistake your m3 for a base model 3 series

[@WattsUpDev]

This comment is dumb as hell! The Average non car person can’t tell a 3 series from an M3

[@TheRealPetoria]

MotorTrend has a long term test vehicle, the z/28, they said its not that bad in the rain, the guy who reviewed it has been driving it for a year as his DD. If you want a serious drivers car, you can't go wrong with this.

[@ecobooms550]

+xJet321Xx yup this car is purely driver and track oriented. and of course if you have 75g's burning a hole in your pocket I would definitely recommend you pick one up.

[@LonestarState12]

So sick of people saying its a terrible daily driver (not talking about the video). Its a TRACK FOCUSED CAR meaning the designing and engineering that went into this car was for MAINLY TRACK PURPOSES, hell it doesn't even come with AC. Am I the only one who takes this into consideration? And the Hellcats can't even be compared to this. Different power range, characteristics, handling, weight, etc.... but then again, this is KZbin.

[@trapbird3963]

+LonestarState12 No you're not the only one who takes that into consideration. Like honestly if you want a track based car (like you stated) then go with the Z28, but if you want a car that's more practical to drive everyday, yet still be good on the track there's always the ZL1. But seriously I'm surprised more people don't understand this ...

[@LonestarState12]

TrapBird (Camaro Girl) Exactly! But some people love to point out the negatives and bash it to hell instead of sticking to why it was built in the first place. It's like taking a Chevy a Aveo the drag strip and getting disappointed because of the slow performance, or buying a Hummer then complaining it gets terrible gas mileage. Really? I'm sure neither of those vehicles were built either of those reasons lol

[@trapbird3963]

LonestarState12 Agreed, but it's like you said this is KZbin and people on here just like to look up videos and then complain about the video ... lol

[@maxwellington9425]

Could not have said it any better myself

[@tyhutson6558]

As always great video guys! A buddy I work with, his father owns one and let me drive it and I have to agree with you. There are hardly any downsides to the car! The pros outweigh the cons by an enormous amount!

[@hortonj63]

i have sat in it. i think the z28 interior is nice for its design. The biggest thing is thats THEIR dislikes. I feel they nitpick more than they should and the fact they are beginning to be pathetic at whats good vs bad.

[@attrzz]

One main downside in my opinion would be the back seats. Literally USELESS. nobody can sit in the back anyways (especially if youre ripping through the track in it). Having the front passenger seat is good enough. Just get rid of the back seat and save weight. :) Overall, one GORGEOUS car, this Z28.

[@EDGAR15ish]

[@bustinjieber9539]

Idgaf if other people think my car is cheap, i care about making myself and the people i love happy

[@LeatherandLuxuryCarsd]

I agree with allot of what you said except one thing, the brand name thing this whole made up rule that unless it's imported it's not brand name to me that's total BS it's a Z/28 everyone knows what a Z/28 is it's not the first one they made so saying you won't have brand recognition is false it's a Chevy Camaro Z/28 last time I checked Chevy was a brand.

[@Jsg2313]

Yes, people who are familiar with the car world know this but the average person would see a z28 with the Chevy emblem and think it's a normal Camaro, but if they see a bmw or a Porsche they automatically think it's super expensive and super fast. I honestly would take a z28 over an m3 any day but if I ask my non car fanatic friends to choose one they all would say m3 just because of the bmw logo.

[@AdmiralRustyShackleford]

Jose Gomez I'd chose the M3 because of how well-rounded it is. It's comfortable, spacious, great quality in terms of interior noise and lack of n.h.v, quick, perfectly balanced, handles extremely well, easy to drive and gets decent fuel economy. It's expensive and not easy to work on, but that's expected and you get what you pay for. Top Gear and a lot of other car reviewers like Car and Driver say the M3 and M5 are the most well-rounded cars in the world. I've never owned one but a friend owned an E46 and I'd have to agree based on my experience in that car. Another friend has a Mustang V6 Performance Pack 6M with a few mods like intake, headers/exhaust, tune, Eibach suspension kit, adjustable panhard rod and so on, and even being 10 years newer and a fantastic performing car for the money, it's not as good. I know the Mustang isn't trying to compete with an M3 but still, 10 years old vs brand new and the M3 still performs like a world-class car. I hope one day I can own an E90 M3 6M or E39 M5, those are true enthusiast cars in my opinion. There are others but those are my favorites.

[@nimaxx38]

What you mean there's no name behind it.... The camaro dominated in the Trans Am series back in the day and is a huge house hold name in America against shitty mustangs. The z28 was always there best package too. I want this car for everything

[@DriveVersity]

Just hope at 70K this car can sustain reliability, definitely want one! Or a ZL1 :) I drive an 01 Integra atm as a daily, but I want to get something nice for the summers and I've always had a place in my heart for both Imports and American muscle. I live in Canada so straight line speeds is not what I need, our roads are utter dung.

[@ecobooms550]

+NaVVlogZ this car is waaaayyyyy too low to use on most of both the US and canada's shitty road system. hell the base V6 camaro is too low to use in most of the US

[@DriveVersity]

Salvador Sandoval Lol I know! I saw one in person and thought to myself I'd rather not have to worry about all the scratches and dents it'll get. Our roads just get worse every season -__- It's no wonder SUV's and pickups are becoming more common here it's not just because of the snow anymore. Putting winter tires on my car helped a lot by raising the height by about 2 inches.

[@Mr318live]

I would definitely put some good street tires on this beast and swap them out for the track.

[@isaelnavarrete123]

[@SHODUUP]

"For a normal person"- "You're not getting brand name recognition"-- the news is fellas, the folks that buy these are NOT normal car buyers (i.e. the cookie cutter type) and they could care less about brand name stuff. Keep the reviews and comments relative. May as well review a Ferrari and talk about how expensive is to maintain it- the dude that owns it could care less.

[@DearMajesty]

Uhhh soft compounds are better for the cold.....has nothing to do with the soft compound. has to do with the carcass of the tire

[@gregoryh9442]

1. Get all season tires. 2. Not expecting a 911 interior. It’s a GM product. 3. Subjective. 4. Don’t want any of those cars.

[@thelaborpeasant]

1. Good thing tires are easily changed out. Put some all season tires on it and you're good to go on the street. Maybe you lose some grip but with 305s on all corners you'll still have more grip than you could ever use even street racing 2. I don't mind a simple interior. If your car can't keep you entertained without all the fancy features than you don't need more features you need a better car lol 3. Visibility may be an issue, but it's not a Z/28 specific issue, so I don't count it against this car 4. If I were a douchey company vice president out at the club then yeah, I might prefer the Porsche name. Me, I think people look like huge jackasses when they buy a car mainly to brag about the name. That screams "you're an attention whore, not a car guy". Now if you say "I've got a 2014/2015 Z/28" some people might say "oh, cool" and not know anything about it except it's a Camaro, but when you run into the people who DO know what it is trust me, they'll be 5 times more impressed/intrigued than if you said you had a run of the mill Porsche. I'd much rather brag about owning this Z if I were in a situation to brag about my car

You're not getting name brand recognition? What the fuck? It's a Z28 Camaro, one of the staples of American car history. Car history in general. Even later in the video you jokingly said something about "it's a Z28, unless someone convinced you, you know what this car is." Love the videos man, don't usually comment on em, but I disagree with that point.

[@fernandoportillo2139]

If you have 75000 dollars for a car new tires shouldn't be an issue lol obvi the interior is basic its a street legal track car they did all this to reduce weight.

[@saxaza97]

They should've mentioned the hellcat which smokes this thing.

[@VehicleVirgins]

Very different car. Either hellcat would get destroyed by the Z28 around a track (which is what the Z28 is designed for). Yes in a straight line the Z28 would lose badly.

[@saxaza97]

on the track it loses, but it's in the same pricecategory right? and it has an extra 150bhp over the Z28. More burnouts and fun I guess and better straight line performance.

[@Vader96]

saxaza97 i sure fucking hope so bro. This car in no means was to compare to the Hellcat. Nothing is. Chevy lately has not been worrying about power, rather they have been putting time into the track. The Z28 and the Hellcat are 2 different worlds man. The new ZL1 might be a competitor though.

[@saxaza97]

***** seems though like we're having the impopular opinion here though mate. But if I had to choose between the hellcat and the z28 I would take the hellcat 10 times outta 10. But then again, I've never been at a track :)

[@Vader96]

[@pguth98]

I'd just get some decent aftermarket wheels and "normal" tires. But i agree, having a performance car from a more "normal" company is never as impressive to your friends then something like a Porsche.

OK I wouldn't normally post on a vid like this, but these guys are so far off base, it's criminal.

It's practically a full blown race car, and it's so fast and powerful, it almost shouldn't be street legal. 2 ALL of the 5th Gen Camaros have shitty visibility. But again, it's almost a full blown race car. You have enough side and rear visibility to see the guy you're beating. And who cares about a stripped interior?! It's not a road trip car! It's not a daily driver!! 3 Who gives a damn what name you're getting for what price? It's a balls-out track fighter! 4 Who the hell gives a shit what some Non-car guy idiot thinks? You don't buy a high performance car to show off to everybody. You buy it because YOU want to. If any of these 4 "Downsides" cross anybody's mind, then they need to stay the hell away from performance cars altogether. Just go out and buy your Prius with your Pussy automatic transmission and your useless technological crap. Honestly, who the hell gave these two jackasses the credentials and credibility to do this video? They obviously have no idea what in the fuck they're talking about. I'm surprised they weren't crying about fuel mileage and the fact that you have to buy premium high octane gas. I bet these idiots filled up with 85 or 87 octane cause they're obviously too stupid to know better, even if you told them. 100% FAILURE!

The Camaro in general is the least comfortable car I have ever been in (not Z28 but a basic V6 with 20 inch rims) the visibility sucks, the extensive use of black makes the interior unbelievably hot, the ride (with stock wheels and tires) shot every movement into my spine. Also I hit my head many times getting in and out, and I'm only 5'6", and you have to bend your arm in a new direction to reach the seatbelt if the seat is in my position.
