That version of the Z28 will always be my favorite and was definitely slept on. The design was beautiful and the horse power was dialed in right for that car. Trying to find one now is still expensive but..... is still wanna grab one.
This man made a video with my two favorite cars. Love the Camaro and I’m a big Mercedes guy especially that E55, M113k was one of Merc’s best performing engine, ever.
One main thing I like about the 5 gen Z28 is that is a track monster this car hit Cornus like a Porsche and haul ass like a Mopar on straightaways this car was the all-around Peak performant of the Camaro

Hey bro love your videos. Would be honored to have your advice. I got an 02 suburban with a 5.7 and the tranny just went out. Its my baby and have been dreaming about turning her into a sleeper, and since I have to do a major repair finally, why not now. Would you recommend staying with the 4l60e or something else? Would you recommend staying with the 5.7 or swapping a 6.0? And what mods would you recommend? I want to gap hellcats and track hawks. People think I'm crazy, but I think she has it in her. With just some simple tuning a cam a while back and cold air I got crazy power out of her. (Probably why my tranny took a crap 🤣) I hope to hear from you if not still much love. Keep the bangers coming.
Yes, the valvetrain had issues on some of them, not all. Valve drop was the issue. This was due to the valve guides and valve seats not being concentric. GM fixed some of the engines out there under warranty.
I have got to say I have owned some of my obtainable dream cars ( 06 spice red metallic GTO 2 G8’s 1 GT 1 GXP, and an 86 Regal T-Type) Before I leave this earth I will own a 5th gen Camaro Z/28 and a C6 ZR1
@larryjr3611 and that changes the census and ownership of all camaro owners how dumb dumb ? Please go get that money pit, I'll be laughing at you every time I see u at the mechanic shop and that'll be often 😂
@cormaro 13 it's really not a money pit when the money is pennies, somthing I don't count. It's called petty cash. I'm in the bay. Money isn't a problem. Lol. It's fun. I don't need to count it bro. Nope.
@larryjr3611 ok spoken like a true fool 😂 you in the worst part of the country and you acting like u making it out there cause maintenance work seems cheap til you're hit with a 3 to 5k bill for major repairs due to low qualityness 😂 boy I'm in Texas the money I'm making is petty cash cause I don't have every taco trucks trying to charge me $20 for 2 tacos lmao Just saying I had one , it's fun but not worth the money, I'll grab a 10 speed all day
Exactly what I was thinking I don’t understand he doesn’t realize what the hell a GEN one coyote fbo is making😂 especially with cams and a cobra jet intake manifold
It’s ALOT cheaper and reliable to capitalize on that Chevy as far as building it. Why you think LS swaps are so popular. Push rod engines are the way to go
@@Ohwellitsnotthatimportant nah we all totally understand that. The difference is the reliability of each under modification. The LS motors are proven to just be way more reliable and easily make crazy power. That's just not what you get with Ford. But if you wanna lease the "faster car" get the Ford. But the LS is the way to go. A little verification will blow your mind friend.
@@stanparker9556 the LS7's dry sump oiling is riddled with issues. I understand that under modification the LS is better but that doesn't mean that "Cobra owners don't wanna mention the Z28" 🤡
Camaros have always had the best balance of American cars. They handle great, plenty of power (mostly), and they just feel smooth at high speeds. High speeds in a mustang feel like you're a split second away from spinning off into the darkness.
Talks about the power of the camaro but doesnt tell you the downsides of them lol 5th gen are heavy trash with nothing but ac and trans problems , stay away , 1/4 of the cost of the car will get put into the ac evap core fellas so enjoy lol
@cormaro 13 I've been an owner of my 5th gen for 8yrs and never had an problem with either of the issues listed above 🤷🏾♂️. Can't deny a 10 speed tho. Good choice.

Agree, I remember back in 2015 I went to Chevy dealership just to sit in one. Beautiful car inside and out.

To this day I want a z28😭

The GT350R was Ford's answer to the Z28. Personally I think Z28 is more reliable but the 350R is faster
Faster than a LS7 motor? 😂 Ok

My favorite 5 gen comaro and I am mustang guy . I love the z28 manly because of that 427
What’s your opinion on the 2009-2015 jaguar XF 👀
Oh that LS7 that drops valves 🤪🤠🤷
Okay crown Vic go torque your spark plugs down before they pop out
That's the same 427 that went under the hood of 2nd generation Z06 corvette before the 'vette switched to the supercharged 6.2 litre V8.
I love both those cars!!
Honestly when the 2015 ZL1 came out I was like DEWD!! THAT'S FRIGGIN TIGHT!!!! I almost like it as much as an 89 Iroc Z
My neighbor had it. Had 22" irocs on it. We were the Irocs boys. Then he got a TRACKHAWK ⭐✨🔥⚠️
And it was gray. I'm not sure if he still got it🔥
Taking that over a 350r for daily use any day. Just hits different
Completely disagree but both are nasty and cant hate too much

Only problem is z/28s are hellcat $.
2015 z28 is goated. Iykyk
What about the rally sport/ss1/ss2 everyone forgets them
Was there an issue with the motors on those 7.0L? Heard some scuttlebutt about that. I love watching, amazing content. Hilarious!😅😅

@FGJ I appreciate you answering that for me. Thank you.
Don't believe it was only a few. ALL LS7 need the heads fixed, even then they will not be foolproof due to side loading pressures . Research it .

Not bad young man !, 👍👍, Mercedes has numerous of underrated monsters, AMG is Stage 2, Brabus edition Stage 3 elite
Do a vid on 8speed camaro 6th gen ss I think 10 speed overrated
So once they park it how do they get out lol
There’s a escape door on the side of the trailer.
Nasty 🔥🔥👍🏿🥵
No way bro said "underrated car" then dismisses the 5th gen v6😭
Plus them Camaros was made for the tracc especially the 5th gen models.

Better get the ac check right away cause chevy can't do that right lol
I told y’all CHEVY is better than FORD 😂
