Camaro Z28

Wow! I hate Camaro's and not really a fan of Chevy's either, but last night I rode in my friends 2002 Camaro Z28 and that thing was FAST!!! It kicked me back in my seat and just went.
Im sure most of you have probably ridden in them before, but that was my first time in one and i was just impressed. And the girl that owns it, actually knows how to drive it!!!

I'm really not into chevy's...but any year camaro kicks ***. I'd love to have a '69 Z28, an '86 IROC-Z(no, I don't have a mullet), or a 2k2 Z28. they're just great frickin' cars

Sorry about your tires...that really sux.

I was looking at her tires too and they have 16 inch low profile Z rated tires...
(the reason i noticed was her back tire was basically flat, lol, i put air in it for her though)

They are only Z rated? I'd have thought W rated for sure. Well then, her tires will break apart before mine. hehe

Z rated used to be the best. But then they created W and Y. Z rated are rated to 149mph. W go to 168mph. And Y go to 186mph. W and Y rated tires are considered "exotic sport" for some reason.

umm the other night some newer firebird revved on my friends 87 camaro and he revved back. they talked in the parking lot and when we left, the firebird took some time to do a burnout where he left a cloud of smoke. my friend did one as well but he only got 1 tire to spin and it didnt take too long for him to do it.

this guy that works at the in n out in santee has a camaro z28. haha its got a racing stripe with a wing over the stock wing. plus he has nitrous and some nos seat covers.

same night some dude with a red mustang gt raced my friend and he got own3d. the guy had boost gauges so maybe it was a gt with a swap or he put mustang emblems on the car. last night my friend raced some mustang and this hooked up civic pulled up next to him and congratulated him on the kill. then he said he was gonna **** up the mustang as well. haha. someday ill have a car that will beat my friends camaro and it will be an import for sure.

I won't only buy imports but so far all the domestics we've had have been crap.
I love japanese and german cars and we have no problem any of those that we have, only the domestic. The euro/import are the only ones that seem to last and not give us problems.

Z rated or higher is retarded. I'm not stupid enough to go that fast and I've got a Corvette. I agree with the member who stated gas is a killer.... Camaros get worse gas mileage than the Vette, and if the Vette's gas usage is a killer then I can't imagine the Z28... Gas is one of 2 reasons I'm selling the Vette... The Z28 is a great car, and discontinuing it is insane, especially since there are soooo many...

The sales on the camaro's were awful and thats why they stopped selling them.

My new tires are Z rated but im not going to go 149 mph, I cant!!! They are just the tires the guy at wheelguz upgraded me to when i asked for 215/45/17 instead of 205/40/17. Oh well, they will handle VERY nicely.

Im sure most of you have probably ridden in them before, but that was my first time in one and i was just impressed.

- You are impressed with that, huh? My friend had that car and we were both impressed. He just bought a firebird formula.... Try sitting in that!-even though I am not a fan of the car-just the speed.

I just didnt think that camaro's were that fast. I thought of them like mustangs. But that thing can smoke a mustang.

And a chick driving a fast car is just HOT! I love when girls drive fast cars and drive them like they are meant to be driven....
