Camaro Z28 Spy Footage

I have to give the Camaro5.com guys some love. They have definitely got some great connections, and some money to spend, as they've now purchased and provided the internet with the ultimate Camaro Z28 sneak peek: some video footage of it! The video's not the best quality, but it is awesome to be able to see and hear the 2012 Z28 in its full glory running joyfully around the Nurburgring! The LSA V8 in this Camaro monster sounds absolutely incredible, too. I can't wait to see the Z28 with the Camo wraps off, tearing up the Nurburgring in a full, all-out, time-trial run. That will be a fun fun day.

Of course, until then, you have this:

Camaro Z28 Spied on Nurburgring

It feels like every couple days new pictures of the Z28 in camo pop up. The last few have been exciting, as they've provided some idea of what the vehicle will look like, but it's this newest batch that is the most incredible. Chevrolet took their next Camaro darling out for a spin at a little place called the Nurburgring. Oh, what's that? You've heard of this place before?

The Z28 was spied at the 'Ring, which has quickly become one of the most hallowed courses in the field of vehicle performance and performance testing, and the fact that Chevrolet took the time and money to take the Z28 there for testing, especially this early still in its development, shows that they are truly dedicated to delivering a high quality product! One can be certain that Chevy didn't just take the Z28 Camaro out to Nurburgring for a joy ride, but that it was instead there running numerous tests on its performance, providing them a base upon what is working right now and what can be improved upon for quicker track times, and greater competitive dominance. This dedication to quality is exciting and speaks volumes about the future of the Camaro Z28.

Also worth nothing, the presence of the spoiler in these images. Up to this point, the Z28 had always been seen without a rear deck spoiler. The spoiler on the Z28 is simple and small, but good looking (because, let's face it, the Camaro always looks good). Check out the images and get a little more excited about this vehicle's future!

New Camaro Taillights?

Someone recently grabbed some (very shaky) spy footage of a 2012 Camaro Convertible driving around the Oshawa Plant with some very different tail lights on it. The tail lights, which are sunglass style, are the same as were seen on the original Camaro Clay Concept Model. Is this a future Camaro facelift change, or maybe a future Camaro option, or is this something solely for the convertible? There's no telling, honestly. All we can do is speculate, look at the tail lights, and try and figure out if we think they look good. So, sound off, what do you think of these different Camaro tail lights?

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?
