2014 Camaro Z/28 2014 Camaro Z/28
Last week Chevy unveiled the biggest, baddest speedster on four wheels – the 2014 Camaro Z/28! Complete with a full aerodynamics design that creates unstoppable speed, the Camaro Z/28 is the most racetrack-capable production in Camaro’s history.
“We set out to make the fastest road-racing Camaro possible that was still street-legal,” “While the Camaro ZL1 offers exceptional performance on the street, the drag strip, and the track, the Z/28 is entirely focused on the track performance. The Z/28 will be too track-focused for most drivers, but offers road-racers one of the most capable track cars ever offered from an automaker.” – Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer
What can you expect to find inside? Everything you want for speed and none of the fluff. In an effort to make the Z/28 a lightweight, speed powerhouse – designers emptied all the unnecessary interior / exterior additives that would compromise it’s track-worthiness. Here are just some of the standards that you won’t see in the Z/28 below.
- Removed interior sound deadener, and carpeting from the trunk
- Replaced the standard LN4 battery with a smaller, lightweight, LN3 battery
- Specified thinner, 3.2-mm glass for the rear window, compared to 3.5-mm glass on the standard Camaro
- HID headlamps and foglights are not available
- Air conditioning is only available as a stand-alone option
“The team was so fanatical about saving weight, we even stripped the unused wiring out of the harness when we eliminated the fog lights, speakers, and air conditioning,” said Oppenheiser. “Every ounce saved contributed to making this the most track-capable Camaro we have ever built, and a worthy successor to the Z/28 name.”
