Good news, everybody! The Camaro Z/28 is almost as fast as the Camaro ZL1 on a track that you'd need a 747 Cargo and a spare week to check out for yourself!
You can get most of the details at Road&Track but the most important thing for you to know is the final number of 7:37. This is faster than many cars including the R34 Skyline and slower than many other cars including the Camaro ZL1. Chevrolet spent a week of development and logged a thousand miles to get this time; however, they claim the car could go six seconds faster. I recall making a similar claim after qualifying once during a NASA race at Mid-Ohio. I was laughed at by everyone in the vicinity including the nice older lady who runs the concession stand in the paddock.
"Shut up and take this cheeseburger," she said, "you've had two full sessions to run and you haven't done any better than 1:44.2 in that Neon." I still maintain that 1:44.2 is pretty fast around Mid-Ohio for a Neon. But I had a full cage in the car, and I was allowed to run any suspension and tire I could get away with…
Oh, yes. let's look at the video, shall we?
