Best Yet: Comparison: Camaro Z/28 vs. 911 Turbo S vs. GT-R Track Edition
Love it: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...n/viewall.html
"But it's not just a name-brand collection of parts, and the Z/28 is no tuner. It stands as one of absolutely the best track-focused cars in the world. A Camaro engineer ran around the Nürburgring Nordschleife (where the Z/28 was developed) in 7:37.47 in the rain. In dry conditions? "About neck and neck with the GT3," as Oppenheiser tells it. That's a 7:25 lap.""

this is exactly what GM wanted. Their performance 4 seater car running with the world beaters. I also thought i guessed high 7:20s for the ring in the "guess the ring time" thread 7:25 - nuts |

too bad someone could not have swapped a little cam in the Z/28 and let it loose again
close to 100hp is being left on the table by GM (although this is emissions) |

it makes me wonder if the Z/28 has a shot at Best Driver's Car. I wouldn't have thought a 5thgen Camaro would after the last two tries.

I've gotta say, I'm truly blown away. Bested a GT-R's lap time? I'm sold, I'm now officially a fan of the Z/28. Simply awesome! Makes me proud to be an American.

Awesome Camaro, but I don't think this is the ultimate comparo...bring on the C7 Stingray!!!
I'm pretty sure the "Maro" will run even better in warmer weather and Laguna Seca will be a great place to find out.
