The new 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z2/28 will not go on sale till the spring, but Chevrolet decided to announce the car’s official pricing, in case you want to start saving. The most track-focused Camaro in history is priced at price of $75,000, including a $995 destination charge.
The Z/28 may not be the best track-focused sports car out there, but it costs a reasonable amount of money, and its makers do not rip you off with the options list, like certain German brands often do. The only available option for this car is a $1,150 package that adds air conditioning and a total of six audio speakers. The standard Z/28 package includes one speaker and no air con. It’s a track car for crying out loud!
The choice of colors is limited too, to five shades including Red Hot, Black, Silver Ice Metallic, Ashen Gray Metallic and Summit White. But who cares about the appearances and the lack of air con when you have a 7.0L LS7 engine to play with. This all-American V8 is rated at 505 horsepower (376 kW) and 481 lb-ft of torque (652 Nm).
Now, 75 grand might seem like a lot to ask for a car so spartan in terms of luxury equipment, but it does come with some other features that are more than make up for it. Brembo brakes, close-ratio six-speed manual transmission, adjustable dampers, and 19-inch forged aluminum wheels and Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires are what the money is spent on.
Finally, you should not forget that the Camaro Z/28 has lapped Germany’s legendary Nurburgring road course four seconds faster than the Camaro ZL1’s and beat published times for the Porsche 911 Carrera S and the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.
