I don't think most people here understand that it's a track car, like the 911 GT3 RS. Its not meant to have 700+ horsepower like the Hellcat, and it's not made to have a high quality leather interior. That just adds more weight.
The $75k Z28 kicked the track pack GTR's ass and destroyed the $400K F12. This car fucking matched the 458 italia's figure 8 time. A simple tune and cam swap nets 600+ horsepower for a little under $1,500. $75K is a fucking bargain!
You people obviously no nothing about this car. It's a TRACK CAR. Not a luxury car. if you want an automatic luxury car, go buy a BMW or a Mercedes. It was designed to go around a track fast, which it does. It has all these things missing or downgraded to save weight. If you don't like the car, don't watch the video. Simple as that.
I like both transmissions, manual or automatic. It also depends of the car you're driving. I like manual for a sport car, automatic for a sedan, crossover, suv, etc. - Keep the good work and keeping us updated, Kyle! Greetings from El Salvador
Why so many GTR comments. There are several reviews and videos of this kicking the GTR's ass on the track(and that of several other internet favorites that are much more expensive). At 75k, this thing is a bargain.
Huh? 2011 GT-R 7:24 vs. 2014 Z28 7:34 on Nordschleife. This has 505 hp and weigh the same as a GT-R. I DON'T like GT-R's, so it's not a fanboy thing, the current GT-R is just a much faster car than the current Z28. Put Trofeo R tires on the GT-R and the difference will grow dramatically.
ABOlsen69666 This is 1/2 the price of a GTR, If you want, we can look at the specs of the 2014 Corvette ZO6, which is still half the price as the GTR and is quicker. But according to Motor Trend, the Z28 is a better all around car, and it's more fun. And it also beat the GTR in Motor Trend's Car of the Year award.(Z28 came 1st) I don't mind being a little slower for $75k cheaper, and better looks.
D Stingray I don't have the energy to go through your entire post, but two things stick out. Firstly, the fact that you say that the Z28 is an over all better car than the GTR. Secondly, it is none other than MOTOR TREND who did the comparisons of the cars you talk about. You do realize that the Z28 is a stripped out track car, running on Trofeo's right? Go have a drive on a rainy day, I dare you. Want to take it out on a 90+ degree sunny day? You sure as heck will need to bring water and a good antiperspirant. Also, MT is the most biased magazine there is. It's a wonder no car manufacture has sued the ever living crap out of them, for the bull they come up with. As for looks, that is completely subjective. I don't like the GTR, I don't like anything about it, period. However, I think the Z28 is a hideous boat. It looks ridiculous. This coming from a guy who owns two Gen II Trans Am's.
ABOlsen69666 I never said the GTR was a bad car. I said that the Z28 is better for the money, and a professional car reviewing company agrees with me. The way the Z28 looks is totally your opinion. I think that it looks amazing. In my opinion, your posts seem quite biased; but when it comes down to it, the Z28 IS a better car for the money. It's only a few seconds slower around a track and it's like I said, half the price. Also, the Camaro has Traction Control and Stabilitrac. I have a friend that has an SS 1LE, and he has had no complains. He loves it.
The Camaro Z28 is a Monster compared to the ZL1. It may have less power, but it looks and sounds a whole lot better than a stock Camaro ZL1. And the LS7 is one of my favorite Engines GM ever made.
Great video Kyle. Awesome car but could you please start doing your figures in metric measurements for people watching in Australia, France, New Zealand and other countries.
***** I used to have a 2013 camaro and the big seats where awful! I'm 6'3" and had to sit in the back because both my parents got very claustrophobic in the back seat so I rode there for 8 hours... what... a.... nightmare...
Im so happy to see this rivalry back. I love the Z28, then again, whats wrong with it and the new Hellcat sounds amazing. And in my opinion, i really like the new Mustang. Its a good year for American Muscle cars. Imagine seeing all 3 of those cars together! 3 amazing sounding V8 badasses!
just a production tip, with your still camera (which i'am sure is of high quality, so there is plenty of pixels) you can crop it to the same 1080p as the video is, so there is no bars on either side. at lease in landscape photos.
Becausr gear heads are worried that the manual gearbox will fade away. I'm one of those gear heads who simply doesn't give a damn about. People should comfortable about what gearbox suits them and not be bullied about it.
No, they aren't. The majority of cars in Europe have MT and most of them are BULLSHIT. There are fun to drive manual cars and fun to drive automatics, they just drive different.
For all you people complaining, this is a TRACK car. It's filled with Chevy's top performance parts to make this thing a monster. The reason AC and sound system is optional is because it all adds weight. They're not doing it to be cheap, they are doing everything possible to get the most weight reduction out of this car. Including the headlights which so many of you complain about, it's adding weight to the car and is an unnecessary accessory. This is not a daily car, this is barely a take it out every week car. It's not luxury. It's performance and that's it.
Smh... all these people keep bitchin bout the interior... appreciate what you got today, cause the REAL muscle cars, from the 60s, had no radio, no nice power seats, no ac, no heat, no power windows, no power brakes, no power steering, none of that. That's the way REAL muscle cars were. Appreciate what you got today cause it was different back in the 60s and 70s. I prefer the 60s muscle cars- with a big block under the hood and a loud exhaust that wakes up the neighbors. But I still like modern muscle cars. Love this Z28.
NikoBell12 there are a few old camaros that had the typical 4 separated tail lights (yea i know not all of them), once i saw them on the latest 5 years camaros I automatically knew they were camaros. the first time i saw these NEW tail lights i thought it was just a normal chevrolet car (i didnt see the front first). The same thing happened to the newest dodge challenger, they changed it to a newer ugly tail lights with non classical look.
Awesome that they went with lightweight (And great looking) 19 inch wheels instead of the usual 20s. They're designed to match the car's performance and capabilities perfectly. Now just wait, somebody will buy one of these and throw some huge 24 inch Dubs on it and never take it to a track. Then complain that it doesn't have a sunroof or NAV.
Those slim headlights are not working for me very good looking car though but bulky needs to go with bulky in this case slim and bulky does not work together but really impressive.
Another thing is if you look closely, the car is fuckin huge. Everything about it is awesome, except for one thing: the wheels and tires. There sooo tiny. They dont fit the overal bulkiness of the car. They need to bump it up to some 20"-22" to even it out
The wheels have 305 size tires on all 4 corners, that is the widest of any production vehicle in the world. Putting 22's on the car is going to absolutly kill the entire purpose of this vehicle. Its meant for the track, big "rims" are not. Now if you want to ghetto out a car then get an 80's oldsmobile
thanks for the review. I'm still on the fence about this car - it makes american muscle even less affordable. I miss the days of affordable muscle cars - when I say muscle cars I mean a v8 not a v6.
Awesome Sound! What's funny though about the z28 sound is that it's the first Camaro I've heard that sounds like my stock 2016 Mustang GT only louder I think. I haven't listened to the ZL1 but having a supercharger I can't imagine it sounding any good like the Z28. The SS and SS 1LE sound much the same to each other and pale in comparison to the Z28 and the Mustang GT, it's sound is like a V8 Mustang concealed in plastic or something. If you don't believe me listen to a stock 2015 2016 Mustang GT. Only make sure to have nice speakers and a subwoofer to make it sound like you're there in person.
Lol my favorite car now, when ever win the lotery or something i am going to buy this one. Simple dashboard, beautiful sound and if i ever buy one it gonna be black.
I was at a dealer ship with my dad and we know the owner and he has alot of exotic and cool cars that i always start up i might start making vids, but i started a 2014 camaro ss and it wasnt as loud as this one
YES!!! Thank you very much for the video, Kyle. P.S.: Why do the outer exhaust pipes' cut outs close when you reach high RPM's and open when in lower RPM's? Shouldn't it be the opposite?
I don't think most people here understand that it's a track car, like the 911 GT3 RS. Its not meant to have 700+ horsepower like the Hellcat, and it's not made to have a high quality leather interior. That just adds more weight.
I love how it's manual only. another true drivers car
Yea
I just love how simple the car is, physical buttons and no complicated gadgets
those wheels are crazy cool.
The $75k Z28 kicked the track pack GTR's ass and destroyed the $400K F12.
This car fucking matched the 458 italia's figure 8 time.
A simple tune and cam swap nets 600+ horsepower for a little under $1,500.
$75K is a fucking bargain!
All hail stick shifts.
“HAILS! to the stick shift!”.
I just realized those taillights resemble the 67 Camaro.
Kentucky Fried Chicken me too
Actually 69 taillights. ;)
Other than the tail lights, this car gets a 10/10 in my book
MisterNBG agreed
I'll take this camaro any day of the week!!!

And you obviously don’t know how to get good grammar.
I know I’m SUPER late, but yeah, I love this car! Simple, big V8, manual transmission.
Perfect Camaro!!!
Well said thank you
If there's one thing GM knows how to do right, it's small-block V8's.
It's a 427 big block
Nope, the LS7 is still a small block.
Lol I’ve always said, the only American cars I’ll buy, are V8’s.
It's march 2017, I'm still obsessed with this N/A 7Liter Monster
It’s July 2021, and I LOVE this car than most new cars, it just gets everything right

The Front looks badass, it looks awesome!
The first time I saw this car in person, I fell in love with it ❤️
badass car, even with the prelude taillights
GM
>tries to save weight
>still includes a backseat
So true why make a 500 hp track car with a back seat if you could just save weight
Insurance is cheaper for 4 seats than 2 seats
Step 1: take the back seat out
Step 2: the end.
Also, those Recaro seats could have been lighter...they're too thick with padding.
*****
If you can afford the car, you can afford the insurance.
Thanks Chevy for making a killer for GTR!

Literally my dream car
nice sound from that exhaust
I got one just bought it Matte black
3:47 that's how all cars should be
You're fighting a losing battle, kid.
In America people know how to drive cars with manual trans? really ??
That exhaust sound... wow... just wow...
The Z28 is back!
Beast of a machine. That American muscle!

love the revised front end.
That startup and rev tho😍
Beautiful car
Better than Challenger Demon.
that rev hang is horrible
This car is so beautiful!
This is great. But if i were to save lots of money, I would go for the new Stingray Z06 650 HP.

I'm not a huge fan of the newer generation camaros, but I will definitely consider buying a 03 Z28 or SS
i don't care which of the Big Three you're a fan of -- it's a great time to love American muscle!!
I think it looks fantastic.
the first 2014 Camaro I saw was the ZL1 nd it sounded awesome, it was the same colour as this one to
nice!! love you're Review kyle!:)
Best sounding muscle car
just a production tip, with your still camera (which i'am sure is of high quality, so there is plenty of pixels) you can crop it to the same 1080p as the video is, so there is no bars on either side. at lease in landscape photos.
Oh boy that exhaust note, mmmhmm
I Own a 2013 GT Mustang but I wouldn’t mind having one of these.
I'm not a fan of the current gen Camaro, but man the LS7 sounds great.
Thank you Kyle for an awesome video I really enjoy you giving us the tech. data on the car!!!
That idle was literally rattling my room
Kyle film that black on black 2014 sierra That truck looks sick right next to the yellow camaro
Good job man, like always!!!
I was waiting for this beauty !
My life would be so much better if i spent less time watching these cars and more time buying them.
Why do people hate automatics?
Becausr gear heads are worried that the manual gearbox will fade away. I'm one of those gear heads who simply doesn't give a damn about. People should comfortable about what gearbox suits them and not be bullied about it.
Because manual transmission cars are ten times more fun than autos
No, they aren't. The majority of cars in Europe have MT and most of them are BULLSHIT. There are fun to drive manual cars and fun to drive automatics, they just drive different.
"Its for pussies that don't know how to really drive a car." a guy that drives a manual, which is not me.
I would take either.
***** out of everyone here you have the best answer.

A great effort from G.M. and I love Chevrolets but I feel they are afraid to admit the old designes are more attractive.
It has a fly mode for if it goes airborne. That is fucking awesome.
You do really nice reviews

My dream car, i love it!!
I had very little faith in the Zeta platform... I didn't think GM could make a good track Camaro... until I read about this new Z/28!
I hated the tailights. Two years later. Me like them now😁
I always have a closed in feeling in the Camaro
the newest tail lights are fucking ugly. i prefer the last ones with the classical camaro look.
The older ones were not even close to the classic Camaro's. They were down right ugly and I'm glad they're gone.
No the new ones are definitely better
NikoBell12 there are a few old camaros that had the typical 4 separated tail lights (yea i know not all of them), once i saw them on the latest 5 years camaros I automatically knew they were camaros. the first time i saw these NEW tail lights i thought it was just a normal chevrolet car (i didnt see the front first). The same thing happened to the newest dodge challenger, they changed it to a newer ugly tail lights with non classical look.
They changed the tail lights to give it that retro look I in my own opinion I thought looked better than the old ones
+wolfscratch The new ones were more designed to look like the classic ones.
One word. Badass
Awesome that they went with lightweight (And great looking) 19 inch wheels instead of the usual 20s. They're designed to match the car's performance and capabilities perfectly. Now just wait, somebody will buy one of these and throw some huge 24 inch Dubs on it and never take it to a track. Then complain that it doesn't have a sunroof or NAV.
I love how I have a 2020 dodge charger gt. [V6] and I would throw this car in the dumpster for this beautiful amazing car. 👏
You can see the butter fly valves working in the exhaust clip ! So cool but can you set them to full open?
1 word WOW!
Those taillights just kill the mood
I love your videos.
Those slim headlights are not working for me very good looking car though but bulky needs to go with bulky in this case slim and bulky does not work together but really impressive.

***** exactly! Nonetheless its a great car but it can be greater! Maybe 22inch lightweight wheels in back and 20 lightweight up front.
The wheels have 305 size tires on all 4 corners, that is the widest of any production vehicle in the world. Putting 22's on the car is going to absolutly kill the entire purpose of this vehicle. Its meant for the track, big "rims" are not. Now if you want to ghetto out a car then get an 80's oldsmobile
Dylan Sumski big wheels has nothing to do with being ghetto period if thats the case most cars made to date are "ghetto".
Jonathan Washington name me one performance car that comes stock with 22's. ill be waiting
Whoop whoop that's my parents car they let me drive it to school like every week
l love the rear of the new Camaro.

That's because Naturally Aspirated engines ALWAYS sound better than Boosted ones. You'd be surprised how many people don't realize that.

Btw, i was playing Forza Motorsport 6 and i thought i dont know how the new Camaro looks like so i test it and i was sold. Sorry for my English.
Great video
For the price of this Camaro I'll buy a Stingray & I'm a hard die Camaro fan.
***** This one the Z/28
Both are great cars, I'd have either one to be honest.
tha'ts why you wait for a dummy to buy it new and 2 years later cop it for 45% less than the msrp..
@@gabrielvasquez2709 that's what I did saved a pile and had such low mileage 25000 when I got it

NICE 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review
I was at a dealer ship with my dad and we know the owner and he has alot of exotic and cool cars that i always start up i might start making vids, but i started a 2014 camaro ss and it wasnt as loud as this one
BEAUTIFUL !!!
Could you please do a video on the 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 EcoDiesel? I would like to learn more about it
I like whe he says let's go and start it up and let her run
HOLY FUCK:D now that is new for a front tires! holy shit IT IS BIG.
Z/28 can beat any muscle car on track
I liked it more when the grille and the headlights were even with each other.
Good ol' LS7.
love the stance. definitely needs more power for the weight of it.
Great review! I would have rather saw a review on the ZL1 instead.
Isnt that front bumper too long? With that little extra thing on it
It's a track car for a reason...
***** its not :/
aram442
the Z28 is an all out track car.
It's called a splitter, and no it isn't too long. And as others have already stated, this is a track car.
That splitter is to make you go even faster when you push the car to it's limits
Comes with a recall notice in the glove box. ... Get one before its DISCONTINUED !
YES!!! Thank you very much for the video, Kyle.
P.S.: Why do the outer exhaust pipes' cut outs close when you reach high RPM's and open when in lower RPM's? Shouldn't it be the opposite?
I thought the same thing, but didn't realize it till I was editing, it may have to be in sport mode, but I'm not 100% sure
Probably because it has a very deep sounding engine in the low RPM's, like a growl
walked into a chevy dealer today...had corvette stingray for 75000 and this car for 76000. couldn't afford either and walked out. LOL
this monster is only applicable for true racers. I bet it shifts really nice
Wow a manual, I honestly didn't think Americans did manuals. Nice to see :-)
Sounds great!
