^^but the chevy had a better time....booo!^^

This Z28 was“12 seconds faster that the Z28 we tested last year.”

Bullshit. Ringer.

“Bone jarring ride”

I remember driving a couple of those ‘82-<whenever> Z’s and TAs.

Buddy of mine had a teal 91 RS Camaro, best part of that car, like most chevy's was/is the motor. Everything else was pretty much crap, and it was particularly noisy and rattled. I freakin hate rattles in my vehicles, drives me nuts, hence me not owning an American car in years.

I remember the car mags at that time loving on the Z28 and then the IROC Z. Made me want to have one.

had an 84 iroc z. balsy. broke the tires loose easily. felt fast, but looking back it was loosy goosy all the time.

Thanks for posting. Fun watch.

Maybe I am reading too much into the video.
1.) The verbals were politically correct, salesman-like
2.) The pictures of the Z28 breaking loose, the belts coming off and pushing the Z28 around to the pit stop told a little different story than the verbals

I'm not against American cars per se and could easily see myself picking up a Cadillac CTS Coupe with a manual as a DD. But, the American cars from the 70s and 80s were particularly disappointing.
