Default 2014 Camaro Z28

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=285349

LS7, weight reduction, 1.05g cornering, etc. Looks like a very capable track car. 300 lbs lighter than the ZL1 and only 80 less horsepower. I wonder what the MSRP will be.

I also like the updated interior/exterior for the 2014 cars.

*yawn*

Sometimes I think the competition between Ford and Chevy with the Mustang and Camaro simply boils down to seeing who can make the most versions of each.

That car does look like fun, but I see so many Camaros on the road daily I just wouldn't want one.

It's 300lbs lighter than the ZL1, which is 400lbs heavier than the regular camaro. Still pretty chunky if you ask me.

300 lb. lighter than 4100 lb. is still PIG heavy. Hopefully they get it right with the 6th gen, this generation is nothing but donor cars to me.

That's about the weight of the current M3, which seems to do fine despite its heft. I'm interested to see what this can do before I start talking about how terrible it is. At least Chevrolet is trying, which is more than can be said for a lot of Japanese car companies these days.

But the M3 is much much much more sophisticated in terms of suspension dynamics and power delivery.

Where did you drive the new Z28 Camaro to come up with this fact-based statement?

The design refresh looks good to me. Front looks nice and the rear looks less offensive than the current one. The 500 horse LS-7 is a real gem and while not light, I'm sure the car will be a hoot to drive. It looks like a pretty thorough reworking to me and I think it's a mistake to underestimate it.

That said... $60,000 for a Z-28 camaro is just too much, IMO. That will buy a lightly used Z06 and for most people, that would be the obvious choice.
