The Z28 beat big red and the mustang with the best lap time but big red had a higher top speed. The mustang also had a better lap time than big red but only by a hair. While the mustang and big red could be neck and neck. The z28 was faster than both on the track. I like it.

New Z versus a Second gen. I wish it wasn't Finch's car, but what can you do
http://www.camaroperformers.com/news...-touring-1971/
**EDIT** I love how Brian toutes his car as built himself, but he really didn't do much at all on the car

I still prefer the 2nd gen over the 5th, by a lot.
Guess I am not old enough yet to appreciate creature comforts and barge size cars.

So the new car is faster (from what we hear, it beat all the high-end imports, too), ergo the question gets down to price. The Z/28 is $75,000, including destination. To replicate Finch’s car, he said it would cost…$75,000. He got his car at auction years ago for only $320 and did nearly all the work himself. Unless you already have a second-gen, you’ve got to factor in a whole lot more greenbacks—and you still won’t have those unreal carbon ceramic brakes or factory warranty. You won’t have to do a ton of bodywork or replace rusty panels. Ultimately, the new car is both cheaper and faster on track.

"or you don’t have the time to deal with fixing things, the new car is perfect. You go to the track, adjust your tire pressures and go."
Prob the number one reason new "muscle" car owners come across as arrogant know it alls and old car owners come across as jealous kids.

Big Red is more of an open road racer, although i know they do standing mile contest too. More of a brute force weapon than one based in finesse (like a 911 or M3). It is also at least 35mph faster in top speed than the 2014 Z28, if not more.

Comparison:
Camaro Z/28 vs. 911 Turbo S vs. GT-R Track Edition
Quote:
3rd Place: Nissan GT-R Track Edition
Old soldiers never die, they just fade away. Still a monster, but long in the tooth. The 2015 refresh arrives none too soon.
2nd Place: Porsche 911 Turbo S
One of the quickest production cars of all time, the Turbo S is caught in a weird space between grand touring and track attack.
1st Place: Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
Impressive. Most impressive. The General flexes its red, white, and blue muscles. Simply put, this is Chevy at its best.

This is nonsense. American cars can't do anything other than go in a straight line.
Trust me, I used to have a ['8x/'9x/'0x] [Camaro/Trans Am].

Can't find the warranty manual? I assume you guys are looking for that but the owner's manual said that is where the info is. I also assume you guys read that, I'm merely just here to type nonsense

You didn't have one of the SLP Lingenfelter Callaway Croyco special edition cars did you? Those cars made the 2014 Z28's handling look minivan-like in comparison.

GM has just announced, in an effort to prevent Z/28 cloning, approx 40 specific Z/28 parts will be restricted:
With the launch of the new Camaro Z/28, approximately 40 different Z/28 specific parts will be placed on restriction. This action is being taken to protect the vehicle’s brand and customer’s investment by preventing the “cloning” of the Z/28.
Dealers will be required to obtain specific vehicle & owner information before any parts order request can begin.
Part orders for the restricted parts will be monitored and reported to the Camaro Program Team, GM Regional Warranty Managers and appropriate Field personnel.
Z/28 parts replaced for warranty, will be requested back through the parts return process, for analysis.

lulz @ protecting customer "investment"
It all seems like a huge waste, why buy race car to have it sit and "collect" value.

all of the ZL1 stuff is available from Chevy performance. The brakes, short throw shifter, supercharger, wheels, and a few other items. There are no restrictions on any of the cosmetic pieces either. The only thing they don't sell is the magnetic ride suspension stuff, I guess that involves to much to make a bolt on kit.
