From Fbodfather:
Very few people from the outside world have had the opportunity to see the inside of a very secretive place in Southeastern Michigan—the GM Proving Ground in Milford, Michigan.
Attached is a 10+ minute video that gives a brief history of the MPG as well as a quick look at various facilities and road courses that are used 24/7/365. Talking with outsiders that have had the privilege of seeing the Proving Ground – you’ll find that they’re amazed at the beauty of the landscape – the lakes and trees and wide-open spaces…also the elevation changes. It truly is a magical place.
Ask any GM employee and they’ll tell you that one never gets tired of the MPG – always something interesting to see or experience……

The Chevy Camaro isn’t just another performance car; it’s an integral part of American culture. Sean Penn’s character Jeff Spicoli drove a Camaro in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” Megan Fox captivated a generation of adolescent boys leaning over one in “Transformers,” and John Cusack eventually got his running in “Better Off Dead.” Over the past 46 years, the Camaro has been an astoundingly fast and beautiful V8-powered muscle car as well as a painfully slow 4-cylinder cruiser with some questionable styling.

How good is the Camaro Z/28′s multimatic suspension? So good that Mercedes Benz will be adopting it for its upcoming SLC AMG (follow-up to the now discontinued SLS). No surprise, considering that a multimatic suspension system is used in Red Bull F1 cars, all 77 Aston Martin One-77s, and 20 of this year’s 56 Le Mans entries.
Read on for the technical details…

When it comes to keeping its tail on the track, the 2014 Camaro Z/28 manages airflow like few other production vehicles, generating downforce like a race car to press the tires against the track for high-speed stability and greater cornering capability.
Numerous modifications were made to the exterior, compared to the Camaro SS, with new and revised content developed to improve aerodynamics, powertrain cooling and brake-system cooling. They help the Z/28 produce 440 pounds more downforce at 150 mph, relative to the SS, which generates slight lift at that speed. Read all about the Z/28′s aerodynamics INSIDE.
In fact, the aerodynamically optimized design helped the Camaro Z/28 log a lap on Germany’s legendary Nurburgring road course that was four seconds faster than the Camaro ZL1′s, and beat published times for the Porsche 911 Carrera S and the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. “Most production cars are designed with some lift at speed in order to slip through the air for greater fuel economy, but the all-new Camaro Z/28′s track-oriented purpose dictated an entirely different take on airflow management,” said Tom Froling, lead development engineer – aerodynamics.
