Rumor: Is the Next Camaro Z/28 Really Getting a 700-Horsepower V8 Engine?
While it’s true that Kurt Busch won the 59th annual Daytona 500, many auto enthusiasts will tell you the real star at Daytona was the sixth-generation Camaro ZL1.

After a Camaro Z/28 prototype was spotted testing yesterday at Nürburgring, cameramen flocked to the track to take video and one person even managed to film the car crashing into the wall at the legendary racing facility. Thankfully, nobody appeared to be injured. However, the same couldn’t be said about the Chevy prototype, as the […]
Black Friday Savings Extend to Bargain 2015 Camaro Z/28s
‘Tis the season to be overly animalistic in consumer behavior! Mall scrums traditionally happen the day after tryptophan-induced slumbers, with the inhumanity of Black Friday wiping away any lingering human goodwill gleaned from family meals and feeling thankful. How much is human life worth? $25 in savings? $250? $2,500? Probably a little bit more than […]
Shelby GT350R Runs Lap Equal to Porsche 911 GT3, Faster than Camaro Z/28
Ford wants the world to know that its performance arm and the products thereof are more than capable of keeping up with—and even surpassing—the perceived “big boys” of performance cars.

Chevy Drops Prices of 2014 and 2015 Camaro Z/28

Chevrolet landed two of its sports cars on the top ten list, with the American automaker’s Corvette Z06 and Camaro Z/28 finishing fourth and third, respectively. Only […]
Report: Shelby GT350R Beats Z/28 ‘Ring Time by Five Seconds
When Ford unveiled the Shelby GT350R at the beginning of the month, one thing was abundantly clear from the get-go: it was a track-tuned homing missile aimed squarely at the rival Camaro Z/28. But if a report from HorsepowerKings is to be believed, the Shelby GT350R already locked on, took aim, and blew the Camaro […]
Hennessey’s Z/28 Performance Upgrade Kicks Big, Old Butt
What’s better than a brand new Chevy Camaro Z/28? How about one with Hennessey’s Z/28 performance upgrade? Yeah, that’s what we thought.

Future of the Z/28 Could Extend Into Next-Gen Models
Right now, there are only about 450 Chevy Camaro Z/28 units in existence. Chevy made a very limited run of the special Camaro model for 2014, and even in 2015, the automaker will only sell between 2,500 and 3,000 units. Beyond that, the future of the Z/28 is unknown. It would make sense, however, for […]
2015 Camaro Z/28 Brembo Brakes: Spotlight
The 2015 Camaro Z/28 is reportedly the only car under $100,000 to feature Brembo carbon ceramic brakes.

By comparison, the next cheapest car that includes Brembo brakes is the Audi R8 […]
Lingenfelter Camaro Z/28 Pumps Out 657 Horsepower

Certain Z/28 Performance Parts to be Available for Camaros
Because Chevrolet probably likes to make all of us wildly jealous, the Bowtie Brand only put forth 500 Camaro Z/28 models this year. It goes without saying that these babies quickly sold out, leaving many gearheads feeling cheated and wanting to emulate the Z/28 in their own garages. Unfortunately, Chevrolet announced last month that it […]
