There’s a reason I’m a writer and not an engineer. Were I making a track-focused car, I would concentrate on things such as power, brakes, weight reduction and cooling, but I would never consider what Chevrolet has incorporated into the new Camaro Z/28.  They call it “flying car” logic. Normally, when a car soars over […] More »

I’ve spent a bit of time in past posts showing my appreciation for GM and their unique dgaf attitude when it comes to mixing PR/advertising with long-winded speeches. Most automaker media tends to shy away from disclosing the smallest, most minute technical details in favor of emotional driving phrases and lifestyle sells. It’s only natural […] More »

Chevy might have condensed its 2014 z/28’s track prowess to 28 components, but in doing so, it’s revealed the car’s four areas of focus.  It all comes down to improving aerodynamics, reducing weight, equipping a powerful engine with capable auxiliary hardware and setting up the chassis and suspension for high-speed driving.

I think we all know who comes out on top here. This video was put out by Chevy, so they’re obviously going to be biased, but numbers don’t lie. In terms of raw performance, the Camaro Z/28 stomps all over the Boss 302. Sorry Ford fanboys. Really, though that shouldn’t come as surprise to anyone. […] More »

Not bad for a muscle car right? GM released this video of the Z/28 devouring the Nürburgring. They managed to pull one over on Porsche, BMW, and even Audi on their home turf with a lap time of 7:37:47. Even the Lamborghini Murcielago would’ve gotten dusted. There are a number of things to keep in […] More »
