GM Says New Camaro Z/28 Could be 6 Seconds Faster on a Dry Nürburgring



As you probably already heard, read and saw, the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 recently set a lap time of 7:37.40 in the rain at the Nürburgring Nordschleife track in Germany, beating the Camaro ZL1 by four seconds, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 and Mercedes-Benz SLS by two and a half seconds and the Porsche 911 Carrera S by half a second.

However, the Z/28’s time was set on a wet track, which means the car can be even faster in dry conditions. Actually, GM reckons the car could be considerably faster. “Based on telemetry data from our test sessions, we know the Z/28 can be as much as six seconds faster on a dry track,” said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer.
