The article is CRAP. I get it...the Camaro Z28 is an amazing car from Chevrolet and yes, it is. In Germany, this car costs almost 100k EUR as a grey import, so this is no bargain. At 65k EUR or so, I would have probably jumped for one.

However: Despite the fact that the Z28 would stand no chance against the 991 Turbo S or the GT-R in straight line acceleration runs, the track performance is very much related to the proper tires. The Pirelli Trofeo R is the closest thing you can get to a slick for a street car, the Dunlop Sport Maxx the GT-R was running is no ordinary street tire either and the 991 Turbo S was running on stock PZero street tires. This whole comparison is just a joke, sorry to say that.

Again, I love the Z28 but what Motortrend is doing here is not serious car journalism. It is entertainment. If you like it...well... wink
