Camaro5 has done it again by providing the Camaro-loving world with another great video of the Z28 on the Nurburgring. The sound in this video is even more impressive, too. The Camaro sounds absolutely fantastic and looks great tearing up the track. It appears powerful and responsive through some of the Nurburgring's tightest and most dangerous corners, and looks great staying flat through some of the sweepers. The LSA sounds awesome opened up, too. I liked the sound in the first video, but it's even more impressive in this one. If you're not in love already, you're doing something wrong.

There's also another great video of what happens when you take a pure muscle-car like the Camaro SS and allow Neiman-Marcus to get their hands on it. The Neiman-Marcus Camaro is meant to provide a presentation of a muscle car as it can be transformed in to a $75,000 luxury vehicle. The modifications are really only visual and luxury based, but they appear nice, and should make for a really interesting Camaro when they're done.

Camaro Z28: It’s Real.

If you've read any articles of mine concerning the possibility of a Z28 before, you've noticed just how skeptical I have always been. Well, today, I drop that skepticism completely and trade it in for a nice set of unbridled optimism! The Camaro Z28 is very, very, real, and we now have spy shots of a tester to prove it.

Captured out in the wild running comparison tests with other Camaros and a Mustang GT 500, these images show a beautiful, supercharged, 6.2L, automatic transmission machine in full spy car camo. Even through the camo, the very large front intake screens are obvious. Couple that with the more aggressive front chin spoiler, rear diffuser, and quad-exit exhaust system (also the bad-ass black 5-spoke 20" wheels), and you have got a gorgeous looking vehicle there.

The knowledge that this is a Supercharged 6.2L V8 also leads to some speculation. We can safely assume that it's not an LS9, as that monster is reserved for the ZR1 and the ZR1 only. The LSA, with its 556BHP, seems very likely though, as that number puts it right in line with the 550HP Mustang GT500, against which it is being tested. It could of course be a new Supercharged LS3 or LS99, but it seems more likely, with the LSA on the books, they would use that powerhouse for the Camaro Z28. If they are, that's great news, as reviews for that engine are fantastic. With the wide-open quad exhaust on the Camaro as well, and some tuning, they've probably got a few extra Horsies out of the LSA past what the Cadillac version of it was pushing. All in all, this news is incredibly exciting, and leads itself to wonderful dreams and worthwhile speculation. So, what do you think?

Can’t wait for SEMA! Will we see the return of the Z28 officially there this year?

Facebook, what hath thou wrought? Yesterday, the internet automotive community was abuzz because of you and something one of your users posted. Is that, could it possibly be, the new Camaro Z28?! Boy, we sure do hope so!

This possible Z28 image was leaked on Facebook

SEMA starts today, and starting tomorrow I'll be providing you with updates from the event myself, but until then all I can do is troll the internet and get my hopes up as to what the event will offer me. This image, which clearly shows a very mean, very bad-ass looking Camaro on the SEMA floor, has brought upon a number of speculations that this may be the new Z28. Nothing is official yet, but the vehicle absolutely looks the part. Those hood-vents are mean looking, and an already gorgeous front-end has been improved upon. Reportedly the Z28 will include the LSA powerhouse underneath its hood when released. For those who don't quiet remember what that is, we're talking about a 556 HP and 551 Lb-Torque engine being used to power the Cadillac CTS-V. Imagine that beast in the Camaro. Drooling yet? Yeah, me too.
