Vehicle Description
2014 Chevrolet Camaro 1SS Z28 Coupe
The name Z/28 will be forever linked with the Chevrolet Camaro. In
reality, it was a simple three digit, alphanumeric GM sales code
for a "Special Performance Package" that was introduced in December
1966. Chevrolet wanted to offer consumers a street legal race ready
performance car and to do this they just took note of what a lot of
street racers were already doing. The beauty of early GM engines
was the ability to swap parts to enhance their power, and Chevrolet
engineer Vince Piggins did just that. He used a 327ci V8 block and
installed a crankshaft from a 283ci V8 making a "stroker" engine
with a 4-inch cylinder bore that gave the new engine a cubic inch
displacement of 302.4ci which slid in under the SCCA's rule of no
engines over 305ci.
A 2014 version of the Camaro graces our halls of Classic Auto Mall.
This one announces on its badging that it bears the iconic Z/28
designation which means that in stock form it was capable of
putting out 505hp. It uses a 1SS trim package which offers less
options than higher cars, but it puts out the horsepower to make
most Mustang enthusiasts quake in their boots.
Exterior
With a paltry 18,382 original title verified miles, this beauty is
bathed in Red Hot and shines like just picked pepper. Adding more
bling is the louvered heat extractor hood, body matching fender
flares, black rocker skirts, rear tinted glass and the black low
profile rear spoiler. This car looks great from the front with its
bad boy snarling pointy front grille design to the deep inset
single horizontal headlights, integrated bumper, chin splitter, and
don't forget the chrome highlighted black bowtie leading the way.
Steel panels are all nice and straight and mind their gaps very
well with Z/28 badging on each of the front fenders. Looking at the
profile, the aero design continues with the swept back windshield,
raked rear glass and on the back roll pan shades of a diffuser with
inset quad exhaust. Oversized blacked out snowflake 19-inch wheels
wrapped by low profile rubber. This is a racer ready to smoke any
challenges that may get in its way. Drop the hanky and look in the
rear view mirror for the competition.
Interior
A swing of the doors and I feel like I'm viewing the 2014 version
of the Milano from Guardians of the Galaxy, with even the door
panels giving me the aero design feel carrying all integrated and
smooth lines here. Turning our attention to the passenger
compartment, we can slip in dual sporty Recaro racing designed
buckets, with smooth black leather body hugging bolsters and
charcoal suede inserts all highlighted by white stitching. No
fooling around here as the seats just grab me as I buckle up, get
acclimated and get ready to roll. The futuristic Buck Rogers in the
21st century look continues with the dash, in particular the
instrument cluster which plays on the deep set dual gauge cluster
of early days of the Camaro, but takes it a step up by wrapping
them with rectangular bezels and a center digital odometer and info
display. Seen also is a premium AM/FM/CD audio system with
Bluetooth connectivity. In the center a nicely designed console
drops down from the dash, and houses a small storage cubby, sport
and touring toggles, a suede wrapped shifter and glovebox. As it
makes its way past the buckets, it ends abruptly at the 2 plus 2
leather covered rear seats. Just smashing which I'll be doing to
the accelerator in a moment.
Drivetrain
Lifting open the hood we are met with a 7.0 liter LS7 V8 that has
been tended to very nicely in its low mileage form. It is fed by
EFI and there is a Tremec TR6060 6-speed manual tranny transferring
power to a 3.91 limited slip rear axle. The exhale is through
snarling headers and the quad tipped exhaust. All surfaces are
clean enough to eat off of so...WAITER!!
Undercarriage
Underneath is all clean and well black and plenty of aluminum for
the stamped floor pans unpainted. Keeping the wide 305/30ZR19
rubber planted to the road is an independent Macpherson strut front
suspension and in the rear, we see an independent 4.5 link and coil
spring suspension. Giant Brembo carbon ceramic power disc brakes
are all around for stopping and all is well underneath this rocket
ship.
Drive-Ability
Like 2 kids taking our new toy out of the wrapper, my partner in
crime and I took this car out for a spin and we were not
disappointed. Like new condition, it started right up, and we were
off. Obscene amounts of power and the factory shifter was so nice
we went through the gears effortlessly. Great handling with the
performance suspension and all is in good working condition.
Just like a favorite toy, this consignor took very good care of his
car after playing with it, put it back in its garage and kept it
safely all buttoned up until the next time to play. Attention
grabbing Hot Red paint on the outside and nice supple Recaro
leather and suede on the inside, all with futuristic design, and
plenty of conveniences. Add in those horses and take me to
hyperspace captain.
