The Camaro Z/28 is a stripped out track focused monster, offering massive sticky tires, carbon ceramic brakes and F1 derived suspension. Is this the most capable and best sports car for track usage for less than $45k? - Авто та транспорт
Yes yes yes yes! I have a 2017 SS 1LE. This Z28 is sick. That 7 liter 500hp 427 is perfection
That car looks pretty intimidating
GTR Wendy are you going dragon ball on us Wendy?
Woah Kayle lol.
EDDIE THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO I'VE EVER WATCHED FROM YOU AND ALL I CAN SAY IS...subbed. Naw, but seriously GREAT all around facts about your reviews master respect for all the work you do, if no one has said anything already! Keep it up man!
Eddie starting to put out that 🔥🔥🔥 content!!!!
+JagSTR Guy 👐👐👐
Awesome vids man
can not believe the prices are this low...really think that it will be a collectors car in the future for sure!
z/28 is so raw
Z/28 Camaro is a track focused for the track
Woah, this thing looks amazing!
DSSV, made by Multimatic In Canada. Incredible company, that engineered and built the Ford GT.
Nice review as always.
+Misha Pravdov thank you!
I love the rear seats, every kid should have the option for a ride in the back of a beast like the z/28! How young automotive impressions are started.
+Carholic that's a good point! But it seemed counterintuitive given the fully stripped out track concentration of the rest of the car
Rear seats can't be that much more weight, 20 pounds at the most so for me I would compromise the little extra weight so my kids could enjoy in the experience with me .......... Fathers perspective of course, that said great job Eddie, your reviews are awesome
Rear seats have to add 150 lbs atleast I'm thinkin.. that leather
Pete Greene not even close
That's how I grew up riding in my dad's z28 to school and baseball practice.....now I have a V8 2020 Camaro now lol
Agreed about everything said. I too have one (black) and driving on the roads is super uncomfortable but at Mid-Ohio racecourse...it comes alive and can take corners at full speed! Brakes are incredible w/ zero fade. On the dyne, she put down 509 at the wheels...stock! Brutal. :)
+James Wickersham congrats on an epic car. Awesome dyno results!!!
Holy shit. That's like 60 more hp than they claim aha
DSSV dampers are also found in the new Ford GT.
For track only its good but overall an SS 1LE is a much better buy for the same price and probably more fun.
Another better option for the same price is the C6 z06 or a barely used c7 stingray.
What? Where are you finding a Z06 for 45k?
7lameboy c6 z06 as in a 2006-2013 corvette z06 this got its entire drive train from. Lighter, same power, and they’re beginning to creep into the high $20k range. Real Bargain is the c6 z06 if you ask me
C6 z06 not a c7, you can find them for alot less than 45k aswell.
I agree with you on the C6 Z06 being the better performance bargain car. I still would rather own this Z28 than a new Camaro SS. This is just much better looking, and a better drivers car, which isn’t that what people really are looking for in a car like this? You literally don’t need to change anything on the Z28 as it is from factory. The SS needs a lot of changes if you want to stand out.
IDK most reviewers prefer the SS1LE's driving dynamics just a more advanced, lighter platform although the z28 is faster due to its tires,suspension and aero. In terms of looks I'm not the biggest fan of the z28 from the front looks dated as does its interior.
The 1le will also make a far better road car due to its magnetic ride and better sound insulation.
I would still buy it just to take out like on the weekends.. There is a red one with 4k miles for sale here where I am but I really want black on black like this one!
The best part is the aftermarket parts, lots to choose from.
I’m kicking myself for not one buying pre-covid. Good samples are back in the mid 50’s now
That thing looks so good. Can't argue with king of 45k club title and, definitely delete that rear bench.
Definitely a big improvement from your previous videos
+u mother pancit! Appreciate the kind words. What do you think I did better?
always wanted to drive one of these!
+sunizzil definitely try to. It's amazing!
Great intro!
+mike anderson thanks!
The angel eyes headlights will make this car look even meaner
hey eddie! I have a 2018 amg c63s coupe and if you're ever in the norther kentucky or cincinnati ohio area, hit me up! I want you to do a review on it
Rough riding is good, that means you can really feel the road.
Would love to see a head to head on the Z version the GT350 on a track.
+James Trapp I think motor trend has done that!
I like the wheels because they help the car move. I also like the steering wheel because it allows you to steer the car. The handling seems great, it drives like a car. I also like the fact that it's a car because it's a car. Btw, it's a car focused car, so know that.
+Preciƨe lol
Does the LS7 in this car suffer the same exhaust valve breakage do to bad valve guides that the C6 Z06 suffers from?
No, they fixed it post 2012 Zo6 motors
Also gen6 1LE Camaro
Eddie is this Camaro better than the Boss 302 Laguna Seca?
+Elvis Car Reviews it's faster, drives a bit better, but the Laguna Seca still feels a bit more special to me, but I'm biased 😊
EddieX I will also go for the Laguna Seca rather than the z28. Are you ever gonna own another muscle car?
+Elvis Car Reviews potentially. I would seriously consider a GT350R
That's a sweet car, but i feel like it's over priced a bit. Btw i sent you an email about the shirt you were wearing in the Orange Lamborghini Gallardo video
The 5th Gen camaro ZL1 and this Z28 are the best Camaro bang for your buck Camaros
best car for track - track dedicated car !
Well Eddie after what happened with Alex.Choi I'm subbing. After this long and *ANOTHER* split up I think it's time. I'm here to stay.
Mean, beautiful good looking sports car....
do a vid on how it differs from the GT350R in terms of how they achieve their objective?
+Z X could be interesting! There's that one guy that comments on every single video I make complaining about too much Shelby GT350 content tho 😂
More tq than the C6 Z06, too. 481 vs 465.... gotta help get that extra 500-700 lbs moving.
Nice Z28 EddieX but what Im interested right now is a new CamaroSS 1LE but at the same time, I'm worried that I wont like the car because if I need to drive it every day it would beat me up physically with that stiff suspension and loud exhaust, lol. What do you think its resale value would be in 3 or 4 years in case I want to trade it in? Is a V6 RS a better bet for daily use ? Just need to have some fun in my old age, lol.
+Rudy F after driving the SS 1LE I was really impressed, I think it's a car that could be dailied. It was quite nice. No idea on resale value, likely on par with previous gen Camaro SSs. The V6 would be adequate for daily use, but I think the power and sound and character of the V8 is worth the upgrade!
I'm so jelly right now
The halogen headlights on this car have always bugged me so much , if I remember correctly the xenons weren't a option on this model
+Andres Reyes nope, not even an option haha. Idk for weight savings or cost savings
Id rather option it with only the AC
Awesome
In brazil this machine is something around $200K lol
Seriously is there a reason why they didn’t put the led head lights on them?
+Rene Garcia cost savings??? No idea lol.
How does this compare with your old Boss 302 Laguna Seca?
Samuel Wu this car leaves the 302 in the fuckin dust
Husspower enthusiast -are you driving in the desert ?
The boss 302 is awesome and a great deal at about 30 thousand ,
Doesn't have any fewer amenities than my Abarth....perfectly dailyable
+Arthur S hahaha good reasoning
it would look killer with gen 6 headlights
+manuel castro ooh I agree
The Ford GT also has spool-valve dampers. I like the Camaro Z28 at at around 40k those cars are a bargain. The only drawback is that I am a Ford guy so I don't really see myself owning a car with a Chevy badge.
I like those cars !
Nice job replying and then deleting a racist comment to me before anybody else can see it. You said I seem like a typical “N” word with no education or “daddy”. Nice
C7 Z51 Corvette is right there with it about low 40000s
No it's not. This is set up much better for the track.
Pre owned 17' zl1 is close to that 50k price range. Id much rather have that..even on track lol
+Goran Jozic have they come down that much? Definitely a very impressive car but it'll feel much different!
Im sure the z28 is much more raw. But yes, i've seen some 17's around the 53-54k mark which is a lot of car for that price.
seen them brand new for 58 to 59k 17 model zl1
Only thing I don't like about the car is the interior. I like the new camaro interiors.
The only two downfalls of this car was its terrible visibility and interior.
and the fact that they ruined the look of the car with the facelift
Tehgziz Lauw I'll have to disagree I think it looks better front and rear. The only thing it needs is the oem hid headlights with halos
The only people that complain about the visibility are short people and those that don't drive alot.
Actually its major downfall was the price. 75k for a camaro like this was completely insane lol
c9j9RT not really unique since it shares most of it's powertrain, brakes with a Corvette and CTS V. It would have been unique if it had it's own engine not available in any other car.
Needs an exhaust
+Arian Kukaj cam and exhaust and headers 😈
Boss 302 LS or This?
As a former Boss 302 LS owner, this. Assuming you will track it.
EddieX interesting, thanks! I just wish the interior was as nice as the Boss
Your channel needs to grow faster!!
I think the same way. And I dont like to see VV channel appearing as sugestion here all the time.
Nikki agree
Nikki despite what you said, Stradman, VV, Shmee150 and others having their channels growing very fast with their Vlogs. But on top of that, it is still their choice.
Ma dream daily
You can buy C6 Z06 for under $45000.00 all day
The problem with these is that they are more expensive then some very nice c6 z06s, even used. Same engine but ALOT lighter.
+OneFastC4 correct. The owner seriously considered the c6 but ended up picking this car because it was a bit more rare!
Z06's are gonna come standard with AC as well.
This is Chevys equivalent of the Boss 302 Mustang
Isaiah Martinez equivalent is relative if you mean Chevys three to four seconds a lap quicker equivalent.
Never seen one for so cheap
Years ago they were
Hi Eddie why the fuck is your channel growing so slow ?
+Nicks 92 videos Idk lol
Nicks 92 videos That's what i was thinking. I know not to get into it with someone with 1m subs 😂
Nicks 92 videos so slowly*
Because he hasn’t confirmed to doing gay vlogs like Parker has. Parker also pays $$ for more views, which in turn gets him more subscribers.
Beautiful car ❤❤❤❤❤❤ but they cost 70/000$ 😢😢😢
Rear seats = lower insurance cost
Yeah these are like 100k now
505 HP? 😼🔧
Hunkered down evil?, LOL. The color of Evil is RED.
The good guys wear black.
rather keep my zl1 from this gen.
The point of the rear seats for for guys like me that bought one and need to put a child seat back there because I have kids.................
That’s a lot of “…”
It's a track car
The 2017 1LE is 2 seconds faster than the Z/28 around GM proving grounds.
+Charles Flaherty which is really impressive!
Yeah maybe but not by you
2nd best car for under 45k. My 28k yellow 2015 1LE track car has cheaper tires brakes and engine and is just as fast with a cam swap
Too bad valve guide wear on the ls7 still pops up even with SS valves and bronze guides :(
Ian Ashley you lying
Omg needddddd
Are u making money on UA-cam?
Mike Garcia stop pocket watching
L'A Nation
What u mean?
Ummmm, the GT350 is now in the $40k’s used, is a newer car, and has better performance in every category. The Z28 would be a better bargain if it was in the $30k’s. Until then, Ford still is on top.
>GT350R
the gt 350 r is the superior track car, and on the street ,the gt350 is a much better handling sports car
Can Asians drive Camaros?
+Michael Broski yes.
Another Asian Camaro driver/owner checking in!
The LS7 is the weak link.
MH motorVlogs not even close don't believe everything you read or watch on the internet. There are some ls7s out there with some valve issues but when the LS7 is right there's nothing like it especially with a head and cam.
Eddy, lose the dumb murdered out nonsense. It makes you sound like a 18 yr old idiot.
I'd never drive a muscle car. No, no no...
+TheHvk well okay then
*The Best Track car is GTR 100%*
Nah, the GT2 RS for now
+Club Bmw Amg uh. That's just not true haha
Wait a minute, can we all just take a minute and let it sink in that this person has the username of club bmw amg? I'm confused.
+DannyLlerenaTV quite confused lol
