Default MT on new Camaro Z28 - WOW!!!

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...28_first_look/

car has 305s at all 4 corners and current z06 engine.

front and back end re-designed - looks slimmer!

and they threw out everything to save weight.

Damn, I must say, that is one of the best looking Camaros I've seen! That Stain pearl white paint, fender flares, carbon fiber everywhere, this car is legit! Can't wait to see these on the street!

i think if one of these bad boys comes up behind anyone while they're driving. the sight and sound might make them soil their clothes.

One of my new favorite cars! Love the face-lifted headlights and taillights, much cleaner IMO.

Small and big block is referring to the physical size (outside dimensions) of the engine block, not to the actual displacement.

Back then there were 383 big block, then over time more efficient packaging created 427 small block.

I'm loving the new camaro! Hopefully I can pay off my truck in the next 3 years and jump on a high power sports car.

Love the refresh look.

Z28 sounds so much better than SS (sounds like a boat)

Same here. I think it's because we're so used to the look of the quad-lights

I'm not sure I follow you here. Who cares what shape the cutouts are, long as the lights do a good job?
