Vehicle Description
It's February 2011, and Chevrolet is all set to debut the hottest
version of their already red hot fifth-generation Camaro at the
upcoming Chicago Auto Show. Poised to turn the brand's newest hero
into something more than glorious American muscle, this new entrant
wraps aggressive aesthetics around a track-ready suspension and a
supercharged LSA V8 that's good for a stout 580 horsepower. That...
is not this car.
But it ALMOST WAS! At least, according to the automotive rumor
mill. The story goes that, because hardcore enthusiasts had been
clamoring for a Z28 over the two 'agonizing' years the
fifth-generation Camaro had rolled out of showrooms, Chevy would
reward their patience in Chicago. However, literal hours before
introduction, word came down from GM brass to peel the Z28 badges
off the show car and brand it ZL1 instead. Now, what became the
Camaro ZL1 is an exceptionally cool car. But, in some executives'
minds, it simply wasn't an appropriate homage to Chevrolet's
vaunted SCCA racers of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Alas, the
world would have to wait two more years for the brand's true
ultimate Camaro and, when it dropped, said car would once again
wear the old school "Z/28" scripts enthusiasts had begged for.
Chevrolet's logic was simple: each of its performance cars would
follow the same basic template. So, Grand Sport was to Super Sport
as ZR1 was to ZL1 and, eventually, Z06 would be to Z/28. The brand
wanted to create a second purpose-built track-slayer and, in one of
the greatest automotive decisions ever made, granted the Camaro
team unfettered access to the Z06's incredible LS7. The result was
a 'simple muscle car' that could, for all intents and purposes, run
with some of the best sports cars in the world!
Coveted, divine and sporting just 2,822 miles, this incredible Z/28
is, quite possibly, the coolest Chevrolet in a very long time!
Mixing outstanding athleticism with suede, swagger and optional air
conditioning, it's an excellent modern classic that's both capable
and exclusive. And, since General Motors has halted development of
the sixth-generation Z/28 indefinitely, it might be one of the best
chances a lucky enthusiast gets at owning one of the last great
Chevrolet muscle cars.
