The 2014 Camaro Looks Better...

They got rid of the terrible chrome tail lights and improved the front end IMO. :tup:

Looks a bit better :tup:

[Thomas_Kreutzer]

It still has those ridiculously high window sills. Until they make one I can really see out of, my retro muscle car choice remains the Challenger - not that I will be buying any of them in the foreseeable future

I think this is a perfect refresh. Props to the Chevy crew.

Much better but I’m with Kreutzer on the Challenger. I don’t think anyone else captured the original body lines as well as they did.

[2TurboZ]

Outside is better for sure but I am no fan of the interior

[RedGoober4Life]

Yes, but does it come with a built in vacuum cleaner?

I totally didn’t understand this post until I read about the new Honda Odessy this morning:

Agreed.

Usually when they refresh something it looks “refreshed” - but this looks like it was supposed to be this way all along. It’s an improvement.

I was really hoping they would have done a little more. Put this car on a diet already.

This isn’t a diet?

@motortrend

The 20-inch wheels used on the SS and ZL1 were swapped for 19-inch wheels, which reduce total unsprung weight by a total of 42 lb and lower the car’s center of gravity 33 millimeters.

@motortrend

In addition to the rotor material’s superior heat and fade-resistance capacity, the composite rotors save a total of 28 lb per car.

@motortrend

The lightening didn’t stop with the suspension and brakes. The rear seat design and material was optimized and the trunk pass-through was eliminated in the quest to save nine pounds. Other non-essential kit such as fog lights, trunk carpeting, a tire inflator kit (except in states required by law), sound deadening and HID headlights were left in the spare parts pile. Even the rear window glass is 0.3 mm thinner. In all, the Z/28 is 100 lb lighter than a comparable SS coupe and 300 lb lighter than the ZL1 coupe.

So the Z28 is suppose to be faster (or at least more track capable) than the ZL1 on track, for reference read this thread:
www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?237454-Lightning-Lap-2013-(carANDdriver-VIR-annual-test)

oh, and my favorite part:

@motortrend

Rather than utilizing different-sized wheels and tires front to rear, all four corners of the Z/28 are shod with 305/30ZR-19 Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires – the ultra-high-performance tire’s production debut – that are believed to be the widest front tires on any production car.

Look, at track car with proper sized tires and a chassis designed to make use out of a “square” tire set-up, what do you know about that?

[ultradriver10000]

The reason the Z/28 is so much lighter then the ZL1 is because it doesn’t have a blower.

I really wanted them to decrease the body size to make it lighter and more nimble. The 19’s all around is pretty sweet, as well as the Ls7 (why no LT1?).

[Mixmastermike]

I was the engineer for some of the suspension components on the car. Pretty cool to finally see it in production form. The unveiling of the car wasn’t bad either.

I would totally rock one

[ultradriver10000]

The Z/28 looks great in the video.

Yeah, like my wife would actually vacuum the inside of her Vue. I can tell you what she’s eaten and where she’s been for the last six months every time I get to detail the interior.
