2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Coupe


Like most of us, the Camaro fourteenth entry with a little extra baggage. Thick ass and installed necessary accouterments of modern automotive age, Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 that still goes into a car stopped, I managed to squeeze into her mind and recession performance any better returns -pound 4120, has about 580 hp car. But Oppenheiser, the head of Al Camaro software engineers, this was just a warm-up. so the next step of the plan, the more track focused on the New York auto show Z / 28 Camaro SS 1LE surprise appearance after a lighter, tighter, track-tuned car was. Obviously, a man with a plan only Mr. Oppenheiser but also has friends in high places to occur. To give us a taste of the latest and most lightweight effort, the Chevrolet C / 28s a triple Nürburgring-worthy GM's Milford Road to provide some ballast for the hot shoe staff invited us out for exercise course.

Hang Tight

Moments in the first hot lap, this clutch C / 28, the team's list of targets is emerging that high. Half-shipped "Pahrump 2" we are having more than 1.00 g, and ground rock known as intact as deep dished transformation. The suspension is not just a test, this corner deliberately designed to starve petrol engines, a business C / 28 with the fails miserably. While the driver and passengers forced to keep their views of the horizon, Z is a dry sump system, the first ever production of the rotating assemblies, engine oil supply 7.0-liter engine with a steady stream of oil Camaro-stays.


He spoke ZL1 located LSA than £ 64 for the engine is lighter, it's no secret LS7 selected. 505 horsepower and torque (up to 10 it makes the Corvette) that produces 481 lb-ft, read as its internal weekly horsepower who's who: Mahle pistons, K & N air intake and titanium connecting rods Pankl. Oppenheiser little to no wear on the connecting rod redline says a 50-hour torture test working life. Z / 28-specific exhaust headers back into a 3.0-inch 2.75-inch tapered exhaust funneling has been installed. Corvette engine oil is cooled by the same liquid-liquid system with the ZR1. Word all Z / 28 engines in Bowling Green, Kentucky install the GM Performance Centre to be built.

Milford Nürburgring as high-speed esses urinary move us to a wiggle or twitch under the chassis. (Here is the real Nürburgring Z / 28 at 7 minutes and browse to run 37 seconds.) Credit Very every corner residence 305/30 ZR-19-inch Pirelli tires Trofeo R costs. Wheel size-19-by-11.0-inch slightly staggered front, 19-by-11.5-inch rear tire on the back-to improve transportation limit. Chevrolet us 19-inch tire and wheel package says is going to save £ 48 on the 20-inch setup and lowers the center of gravity of 1.29 inches. Engineers told radical shift to adjust the tire bead having a full rotation or more during hot exercises, so we designed a system to keep the bead area of ​​the knurling successful tight tires. Engineer Mark Stielow speaks to the overall balance of the wear pattern package is amazing, even he says.


But not only the suspension to ride together; Almost every component C / 28 to re-study. Compared with the standard SSI, a whopping 85 percent of 65 percent of the front and rear springs with hard times, and improve steering feel and all the bushings have been stiffened to help the car's 1.08-g cornering achieve maximum lateral way. Interestingly, the team back in front of 28 to 25 mm and 27-26 mm down, it was possible to fit the small stabilizer bars. A part of the change C / 28 to make its first appearance in a volume production car Multimatic DSSV (Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve) was made possible by the use of dampers. Essentially, they trade shims used for settings for conventional dampers shaped ports. Results MULTIMATIC transient response over proprietary software, thermal stability, minimal fade and easier and more predictable regulation is improved. Overall, the Z / 28 compared to 190 SS has unique pieces.
