Vehicle Description
If you have never had the experience of driving a second-generation
Camaro, you owe it to yourself to give one a spin. During design
and development, they improved the car in many ways from the
lessons learned from building and racing the first-generation cars.
These cars are lower, wider, and have a well-deserved reputation as
a driver's car. Check this one out.
Hunkered down low and dressed up in Black and Gold, this Z/28 looks
great! It's the culmination of refinements and success developed
for the street, strip, and road courses. It leads with a body
colored front bumper and a blacked-out grill with Z28 appearing
just above it. Below it a deep chin spoiler reaches for the ground
to keep air from getting underneath the car and keeps the front end
planted at speed. Gold stripes wrap around to the front wheel wells
and then down the rocker panel with Z28 in bold letters at the end.
A hood scoop is outlined in gold and louvers in the front fenders
add to the aggressive look of the car. The roofline flows smoothly
down to a full width rear spoiler that keeps the back end planted
at speed with Z28 and gold striping just below it and gold turbine
wheels complete the look perfectly.
Open the door and you will find a Black interior with a door panel
that echoes the long lean lines of the car with a chrome strip
across the top. A 4-spoke Z28 steering wheel with a unique wound
treatment provides good grip for spirited driving and is mounted on
a tilt column. It sits in front of a stock dashboard with the tach
on the right and speedo on the left with engine gauges to either
side and ventilation controls low on the left side. An AM/FM and
iPod compatible Retrosound head unit with speakers in the rear
shelf has been added for your listening pleasure. Have a seat in
the high-backed bucket seat with a comfortable cloth seating
surface and with nice side bolsters that is trimmed in black vinyl
and let your hand fall to the white shift knob for the manual
transmission that is begging to be stirred around.
As a Z28, this is a driver's car, so the engine and chassis were
upgraded in order to live up to its billing. Nestled down in a neat
and clean engine bay is the engine is the original, numbers
matching 350 cubic inch motor with a Quadra-jet four-barrel
carburetor. The air filter housing as well as the Moroso valve
covers and master cylinder cover are painted gold to match the
stripes on the car. Long tube headers wind their way out the bottom
on the way back to dual Flowmaster mufflers which give the car a
nice healthy sound. The chassis engineers did a nice job by
upgrading the springs and shocks both front and rear and by adding
a beefy front sway bar with matching rear bar to flatten out the
handling. 11-inch vented front disc brakes assure good stopping
power and the car sits on those sweet looking gold turbine wheels
with 245/60R15 tires all around.
Come on down and treat yourself to a drive in this Z28. You might
want to treat yourself to that kind of drive more often and decide
to keep this one in your garage.
