2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Serves As Indy 500 Pace Car

Former IndyCar driver Dario Franchitti will be at the wheel of a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 at this year's Indy 500 race on May 25. The high-performance Z/28 will serve as the race's pace car, marking the 25th time a Camaro has had that honor at the Indy 500.
The 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 should have no problem lapping Indianapolis Motor Speedway, thanks to its 7.0-liter V-8 engine, sticky tires, advanced suspension, and clever aerodynamic aids. When our colleagues at Motor Trend took the 505-hp 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 to the test track, they managed to knock off a 4.0-second run to 60 mph and pulled 1.07 g of cornering force around the skidpad. At Germany's Nürburgring, the car even set an impressive 7-minute, 37-second lap time. For pace-car duty, several prominent Indy 500 decals adorn the black 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.
インディ500のペースカーに決まったそうな。
ドライサンプらしい。
裏返しを見ると、トランスアクスルではない模様。
(コルベットはトランスアクスル)
0-60マイル 4.0秒
(2013年式GT-Rは、2.7秒)
1/4マイル 12.3秒
60-0ブレーキ 97フィート
8の字ラップテストでは、23.6秒でフェラーリ458と同じか速いかなあ~くらい。
(平均0.84G)
FRなので、発進加速はロスあるようで遅い。
ここでも総合評価は高いみたい。
実用性考えると、トランクがしっかりあるFRレイアウトでしょうね。
7000ccは、日本だと税金が高いですが・・・
On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago and his team travel to Alabama to drive the hotly anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. With 505 horsepower from a high-revving 7.0-liter V-8, a 6-speed manual transmission, sophisticated suspension, and the widest front tires of any production car we know of, this Camaro is focused on one thing: Track domination. To find out how well it works, we subject the Z/28 to our battery of tests, including a lap with race driver Randy Pobst. How does it fare? Find out this week on Ignition!
