SpaceGhost Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kur-PgsZJxw Whoops....I know the GT350's had some close calls on photo, don't know if they had any wrecks but its not surprising on this track. Video gone, here is a good link with video still. http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/news/a29140/the-2017-camaro-z-28-prototype-just-crashed-on-the-nurburgring/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Right?!? My 97 Camaro was a limited edition 330hp... Now that's nothing lol. This. My ls1 makes 350, but just read the other day about a company doing tunes on the new v6 camaros and making that or even a little more with just the tune lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Video gone, here is a good link with video still. http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/news/a29140/the-2017-camaro-z-28-prototype-just-crashed-on-the-nurburgring/ Two things: 1). I don't hear a supercharger but definitely a V8 (relieved as I read about a twin turbo V6) 2). How in the world did he wreck where he did? Was it a brake bias issue or something?

Got-Boost? Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'd think 3700lbs is more realistic... If it's a bare bones model Z28 I'd say closer to 3,500 with the new ATS based chassis. Are reinforced chassis why cars weigh so much anymore? It has more to do with a mass produced car that they want maximum profits from. They could make it out of lighter materials but it's not cost effective. Also, a lot of federal safety requirements force things to be on the cars that weren't in the past (seat belts, air bags, ABS, ESC, TPMS, safety glass, crumple zones, side impact beams, roof crush standard, etc etc and next required on all cars by 2018...back-up camera's), and it all adds up in the weight department.

caseyctsv Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Very cool - http://gmauthority.com/blog/2016/05/the-2018-chevrolet-camaro-z28-is-naturally-aspirated-but-with-what-engine/ "Sources" are indicating the Z/28 is naturally aspirated but no one knows what motor. It might be an updated LS7 or maybe even a new motor all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 If it's a bare bones model Z28 I'd say closer to 3,500 with the new ATS based chassis. A bet is in order. Over/under 3600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 A bet is in order. Over/under 3600? Stripped model like a GT350 "R" will be under 3,600....$20 or BW3's and beer next time I'm in Ohio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most are saying it is a 7 liter version of the LT1 with 550-560 HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
