7.0L (427) V-8 505HP 481 FT LBS TORQUE 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION LEATHER

2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

The Camaro Z/28’s 7.0L LS7 engine is rated at an SAE-certified 505 horsepower (376 kW) and 481 lb-ft of torque (652 Nm), t complements the lightweight vehicle components to give the car its enviable 7.6:1 power-to-weight ratio – and deliver the power to accelerate strongly out of corners and achieve high straightaway speeds.

The Z/28’s dual-mode exhaust system is engineered to provide high-flow and muscular sound character under aggressive acceleration, hile attenuating noise levels in cruising conditions. It actively controls valves that change the flow path of the exhaust. With the valves open, he system produces less back pressure and more power from the engine.

A TREMEC TR6060 six-speed, lose-ratio manual transmission backs the LS7 engine. It has a combination of double-cone and triple-cone synchronizers on all gears. Double-cone synchronizers have two friction surfaces to affect gear acceleration and triple-cone synchronizers have three friction surfaces – the greater the friction surface, he easier the transmission is to shift. The transmission is used with a 5.1-ratio short-throw shifter that provides quicker, ore precise-feeling gear changes.

Power conveyed through the transmission is distributed to the rear wheels via a high-performance, ero-preload limited-slip differential that enables the driver to apply more power and get through corners faster, y continuously adjusting the torque bias to maximize available traction. It features a concentric helical gear set that generates friction proportional to the input torque and allows continuous torque biasing and differentiation to be managed between the drive wheels (conventional limited-slip differentials use preloaded clutch plates and springs to create a fixed amount of friction that is always present). The axle ratio is 3.91.

Rear spoiler with ‘wickerbill’– a small, ertical tab at the edge of the spoiler. Although an aesthetically minor change, t adds approximately 28 counts of drag, mproving rear lift performance by 70 counts. That allows the Z/28 to handle turns at higher speeds and delivers greater overall high-speed stability. Unique front fascia features an airflow-optimized grille – including an open bowtie logo – for enhanced cooling and a modified fascia bottom that incorporates provisions for the brake cooling ducts. Front splitter that provides downforce at the front of the car, nhancing cornering capability and high-speed stability. It is designed to withstand 250 pounds of downforce at its tip and is matched with an aero closeout panel under the front of the engine compartment that also enhances aero characteristics. Hood extractor – a functional carbon fiber hood extractor provides increased engine cooling by allowing hot air an exit route. The design is similar to the extractor featured on the Camaro ZL1. Rocker moldings and wheel flare moldings provide aggressive styling and improved aerodynamic performance, hile unique wheel flare moldings cover the Z/28’s wide tires. Deflectors at the bottom-front corners of the front wheel flares contribute to the car’s downforce-producing aerodynamics. Front wheelhouse liners with closeouts work with the vehicle underbody for optimal airflow. Belly pan that helps reduce front lift. Along with the aero benefit, t also contributes to drivetrain cooling, ith modified NACA duct profiles designed to draw air into the underbody tunnel area, here the highly energized air provides extra cooling for underbody components.
