- Fast Lane Daily's Tom Albrecht takes a deeper look into the new 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. The 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is powered by an LS7 V8 making 500-hp and 470 lb-ft of torque -- and don't get it mixed up, this Camaro Z/28 isn't only for the track, it's meant for everyday use with the focus on track capability.

Love that americans build most of their Sportscars with manual transmission
Cause manuals are awesome.
Tom did a much better job at reviewing the vehicle, than Derek. Thank you for not focusing on all the tacos you ate and the hotels you stayed at.
Different people, different styles - apples and oranges. Derek is much more entertaining to watch and Tom didn't seem too relaxed with his review. He seemed monotone.The reason FLD has done so well is because of Derek's personality and the way he delivers auto news. Derek is the man and I'm sure a few individuals will agree. Everyone has their opinion, just wanted to throw mine in.
I think I'd pay the extra 1,550 for the stereo and A/C
You should have mentioned that the Z/28's run on the Nurburgring was in the rain.....so it's posted time doesn't accurately reflect what it could have done on a dry track.
Tom that was great! You should definitely do more videos like this!
Well switch out the tires and rims, when it's a track day well you get the idea.(I hope)
I love this car
Tom! Nicely put together video man. Your review is clear and concise without being long winded or boring. I look forward to more of these.
Hope it has a good ignition switch
This video is very well made.
they really could have got rid of the back seats c'mon GM
beautiful!
Do I smell a future /DRIVE host?
Digging the Tom review and the ZL1 Detours was good too.
More FLD crew reviews like this please and thank you.
Wow no Auto. I love it 100% good choice.
A true BEAST!!!
Quite possibly the best sports car America has ever built. Simply astonishing!
Good job tom!
i'm not a fan of domestic motors but holy fuck this thing looks mean, would totally just buy one for the looks!
It looks like every other fucking camaro out there with a diff splitter.
SFBay69 oh am sorry i didn't notice it, i only really notice Evos or STis since it's what i drive.
***** Its nice? You can own it and be stuck with it...then it's nice
SFBay69 Not really, the stance, the front chin spoiler, the ride height are a give away.
SFBay69
Well if it isn't my old friend SF!Come over to start more shit with the Camaro lovers?
Great video Tom.
It's a fun 75k to take around the track.
FRONT OF THIS CAR IS OUTSTANDING!!!
Tom, I totally agree with you about wanting a "purpose built" TRACK car. I have NOT driven the Z28, but have driven a 2011 Radical SR3 RS and 2012 Radical SR8. Also had the chance to take my friends Ariel Atom (not the 500) out for a few good laps. AWESOME track cars. The radicals are more "full race" oriented and in my opinion are a much better use of money. Well, the SR3 anyways as it's much closer to the Z28's price. If you want an SR8 for $75K...good luck with that. The Atom on the other hand is less expensive than the Z28 or Radical and I had an absolute BLAST in that little beast. A bit twitchy, but a HELL of alotta fun for wayyyy less money. Thanks for the vid Tom, AWESOME job sir!
I had no idea you guys were based out of Monticello NY, i grew up in Sullivan county, even went to S.C.C.C! Glad to see a Motorsport seen back home.
Great job!
great description to the truth
Tommy Boy! Great stuff! I, for one, would like to see more of you. Keep up the great work, my dude!
Hey Erica ;)
man sounds cool
Couldn't you put a gopro in the track cars and show some video?
what's the name of the background song? I know it was also played in Pacific rim trailer.
How do you think this car stacks up against the 1 LE
Like this guys review style but we still like the contrast of personalities
I HAVE AN M3 THEY TALKED ABOUT ME I HAVE ONE M3 YES THAT'S ME M3
I have a camaro SS 1le yay they talked about meeee!
suprkid203 I HAVE A RADIO YES THEY TALKED ABOUT ME
I HAVE A GTI........aweeeeee. i got left out :( lol
Sorry...
I have a WRX and I got left out :-(
Good, concise review.
camaros are fucking awesome!
Meu sonho de consumo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somebody please tell me the name of the song at the start. It was also on xcars bac mono review. Please
Best z/28 review
This guys is way better than Derek at reviewing vehicles IMO.
So this brand new car is fast than the not out going model of Lamborghini but the one before that... Wowwww
this is essentially a commercial for the z28.. fact is the z28 is still 505hp where the real track cars are well beyond that
That's where aftermarket companys come in to play.
Great review, cool car. :)
DOPE!!
I'll have one in black, thanks.
Great review.
It's a track car yes ,but doesn't mean you can't drive it on the everyday road
I love it
But I would probably get the optional air condition added
And I'd like to have halo lights
But it's fine the way it is with those lights
oh, my, god. from europe and i can say, this is the sexiest muscle car we have ever seen, and its able to handle which is just amazing. i gotta say well done to united states for making such a beast of a machine.
did he just say 'if you already have a fun streetcar like a M3 or a M5.." yeah like it's that easy to get one and as if you would need a Z28 or any other "race car" for that matter if you had a M3
there is something about the halogen lamps that makes it look meaner.
Yeah I agree.
If you just want to a track car with an LS7 then buy a used C6 Z06 and for less than 50k. This Z/28, although fast, is more of a collector car. Its pricing structure compared to the more powerful yet cheaper ZL1 and corvettes is out of line. For 75k I would rather have a CTS-V as a primary car.
Yep. Vettes are too small. Z06's are great for little people who are old but not for me.
The ls7 in the vette has lots of problems
Damn they bumped the price up.
Hey youtube! Do you think trading in a 2014 ZL1 for the Z28 would be a good idea? It'll be daily driven and i love that big engine the z28.
Keep in mind the tires are a lot more expensive to replace, the brakes are a lot more expensive to replace, the tires will deteriorate faster, the grip in the rain/snow will be substantially worse and the suspension is going to be a bit more bumpy then your ZL1. Also you can't get Navigation, you can't get the high quality Boston acoustics sound system, you can't get rear view cameras, or pretty much any options besides basic radio and A/C.
But at the end of the day, that 427 sounds incredible and accelerates harder than the ZL1.
TonyIsGaming Your first points are actually the things i want to improve from the ZL1 (suspension seen as a fair compromise)Your right about the sound, navi, and cameras. What about the upcoming zo6?
Nicholas Wigchert Upcoming Z06 is a ride we don't know too much about. I'm guessing that it wont be a fully track focused car, they'll probably save that for the ZR1. Z06 is basically the ZL1 of Corvettes and is a kick ass machine that is well worth it if you can afford it.
If you can, remember that you wont have back seats, your trunk will be much smaller, and your leg room may be a bit less roomy.
Fortunately you will have better handling, better grip, faster 0-60s and 1/4 miles, a super car all around that can go toe to toe with Porsches and Italian counterparts. You will also get 25+ MPG when you want to drive it economically.
Tom, please stop reading the script!
the price is really up there. if you dont mind buying used cars, theres plenty thatll do the same for less.
or you can get an SS and buy the Z28 parts from gm as i hear they will be giving owners the option to buy the z28 body kits to put on a 2014 camaro
(if you dont really care about the performance too much but still want a v8 manual and want the looks)
Nice car's
Im sure HID and no rear seats will help with my track times
So Chevy won't sell parts for it unless you have the z/28. Can you go to the vendor that Chevy buys their parts from to get it? Or are all the things made by GM in house?
"The only reason you should be looking out the rear window, is to see how far ahead of the competition you are."
Spoken like a true bro who has never tracked a car before. I'll just wait for the first UA-cam video to pop up showing a Miata hounding the overly arrogant Z/28 driver who cant even get out of his own way.
Seriously though, visibility is absolutely necessary unless you are very aware and attune to your surroundings. Lets face it, 98% of people out on road do not have the spacial awareness of a monkey. Clearly this is a case of function following form, as i know even GM engineers would probably have liked to change that aspect (among others) of this car.
good
2015 gt350 will kick its ass with the 550hp 5.2 voodoo
I think you're selling the Camaro 1LE short. It's clearly a car designed for track. Listen to what Al Oppenheiser said about it here. Scrub to 00:42 to hear, "The reason we did that is that this is a track car."
2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE Performance Package Muscle Car Video Review
Also check out Cornerspeed in his stock 2013 1LE on the Fontana Speedway chasing a Z06 Corvette. This is definitely a track car.
1LE Camaro, chasing down a Vette
Definitely would rather have a Vette any day
I know right? A Z06 would spank this car.
Thank you!!!!!!!! I've been posting the same thing since word got out about this car. What is the point really? a year old z06 can be had for less money yet the performance is there. Your paying for all the engineering it took to make the Camaro that fast. Vette started with that engineering even in their base cars. Your paying for the Z28 badge.
Yeah, i would wait a little while and get a C7
Not sure if the c7 zo6 would be more expensive than this car when it comes out, but if it isn't than this car has no purpose haha
Vinicio Amores Well the C6 ZO6 starts around 90k, and the C7 is expected to be a bit more
Cool beans
Why is that the Z28 is $75,000 and only 505whp, but the ZL1 is $62,000 at 585whp? Love both Cam but wonder which one my wife will let me get?
wow, looks like someone like being single. should I tell her to shoot out 10 kids and keep the,house clean since I am the bread winner too. do the world a favor. ....don't have kids.
It's not about the horsepower, it purposely has less horsepower and less weight to go around corner since it is a track car. The ZL1 is much heavier but is a better car to live with as it has a decent interior with nicer seats, sound system & air conditioning that the Z/28 does not have.
both cars are awesome ibeloggik, but trying to figure out which one but which one.......
Went and looked at the SS, the ZL1, and the Z28. SS was priced @$43k , the ZL1 @$61k and the Z28@$76k. fell in love with the ZL1 right away but it was an automatic , the Z28 was a beautiful beast but I knew commuting 33+ miles both way abd in traffic will not be the right choice, and there is the SS $43 fully loaded but those wheels got to go. I don't know I guess I should flip a coin and say fuck it.
+jose garza So what did you end up going with?? I would definitely take the Z28.... It just looks too mean!!
Lightweight....
LMFAO'
Nice machine but wait until the LT1 aplha platform Camaro hits the streets. And yes there will be Z28 and ZL1 versions.
"They have some of the widest front wheels ever fitted to a street car..." Why, to prevent the catastrophic understeer inherit to something so obese? How can it be a track car at 1.7 tonnes (and that is after the weight program)?
Let's be honest though. If we want a Camaro, we'll probably get the zl1. It is better on the street and a more convenient daily driver.
Automatic option was funny 🤣🤣 😂
I love the car!! Minus the tail lights
I need a 2014 chevy Camaro I get ssi
The new Camaro looks to be an improved Infinity G35 The camaro is the bigger one. I am not sure what the infinity exact car name is it is the earlier version of the 37 I am thinking. Not to sure.
Too bad that from the rear it looks like a Honda Prelude.
More like a retro 1st gen Camaro.
If you see this on the road, and see this car on the road from behind, and you confuse it for a prelude. Then you should go see your nearest eye doctor.
look up the 67-69 Camaro and look at the rear..
You're a Honda Prelude.
crzzymnn911 lol
This or the 2016 Shelby GT350...
The gt350r is this car's rival. Bit I'd still take the base gt350 over the z28.
+ElCapo SHELBY ALL DAY LONG
+Bronson Privett fuck noo!! Haha 😂 if you want a fast car get a hellcat challenger
Shelby GT350R does look better though.
Sergio Ledesma If I want to go fast in a straight line AND around the track, I'd take this or the Shelby GT350R.
So......100 more horsepower and no air con or navigation for 0.5 seconds faster than a 991 Carrera S on the 'ring? I'd go with the porker...
And it's still over 3800 lb
Damn shame its unaffordable for most of us even if you could get one!
Damn!
We shall meet one day
did they just say NO AC? hahaha
Swap tires between the 911 and this Z28 and see what happens at nordschleife. Engineers tried their best to make Camaro a track car, but the platform just isn't built for track.
Well how wide are they fool!?
z28 is way better than gt500 ford mustangs are been loosing this battle to chevy for a long time
so the z28 is better than the gt350
The gt350r is a smaller displacement motor(5.2l) making 520hp naturally aspirated from its newly designed flat plane crank motor compared to Chevys z/28 (7.0l) making only 505hp tell me how Chevy is better than ford from that perspective?
chevy is cheap and I dont see ford beating European cars we be repestion USA USA USA. All Chevy preformance car are better track handling then other companies. Said and been proving sure z28 is lil bit expensive but sure ass hell preforms better on the track.
+Jay Laganson wat numbers are you looking at. I have a 2012 mustang 5.0 fully loaded and it was 43000 the camaro was 45
ss here is at 42,000
Sounds like they shaved about 5lbs of weight. Lmao
Wait for the 2017 Z28!
You mean 2018. There is no 2017. Just the new 2017 ZL1 with the Corvette Z06's LT4 376 engine with 650 HP 650 Torque and either a 6 speed manual or a 10 speed auto.
The car is amazing, they really made the best camaro but WTF no air conditioning??, what they were thinking
Trying to save weight.You can still order the A/C package.
Well it is faster than a gtr around a track. So it is a seriously impressive car if you ask me.
Around what track ?Its never going to go near a Gtr.Over 10 seconds behind gtr at nurbugring.
camirocz It was either willow springs or Laguna seca, motor trend did it. Gtr was 2 seconds slower. I bet the gtr at nurburg was either the track pack or nismo.
Riley Osborne yeah so since this is not an SS version of the camaro it would only be fair to compare it to the "nismo" version of the GTR. The GTR is a much better car... PERIOD. I like what chevy did with this car but its a bit overpriced.
Scooby_Boostin First I was wrong it only beat it by 0.2 seconds and I totally agree the gtr is a better car and a better platform for power. I never said the camaro was better I'm just saying it definitely deserves some respect for being faster than a base gtr. And its pretty cheap aswell.
'14 M3 is more than 10 grand less and would whip this thing all day long.
Esse é o meu cadê o seu
They should have an AWD version
I wish GM or Ford would make an AWD Camaro and Mustang.That would improve 0-60 times for sure.
its not a track car.. Its just a normal fast car like many others
With no air conditioning and a price higher than the stingray. Not worth it for me
not a track car? troll mode engaged?
Troll mode engaged
dammit Erika where are you when the dude said torque? I was so expecting she says torque :) she so cute when she says it.
Not good in wet conditions??? Is he nuts!? The 7:37 lap time on the ring was achieved in wet conditions. They guesstimate a 7:30 in dry conditions with this car
When he says wet conditions he means inches of rain and snow... The lap time on the ring was achieved by waiting til most of the rain dried and the rain itself had stopped. The track was still wet, but it wasn't physically raining as hard as it might be on days where you need to get to work.
Tom albright until next time... when I'll be Derek D. Lol
nice mustang
I bet you will forever regret you don’t on this car personally,
Thank God for this vehicle & enjoy your blessing, Team Jesus Winning with Z28 energy 💫🏆🛋🦍🥇✊🏆
I need an LS7 in my life
As an owner of a 2015 Camaro RS 2LS, I drive and meditate on the exact same interior while I look forward to the potential of the future. Thank you
Thats more money then the corvett
lol no grip in the wet? tell that to Chris Harris. He drove the piss out of the Camaro in soaking conditions but then again he is Chris Harris
I don't think not having the right tires on it is a good enough excuse not to buy a car, you can buy another set and there going to ware out fast anyway.
These "exclusive" bs crap words added to videos that were released days before by competitors. What did I miss?
