Man Buys 2015 Chevy Camaro Z/28 in 2023, Drives It 200 Miles, Turns Around and Sells It

What’s curious is that the vehicle was purchased by the seller last year and was driven for just 200 miles before they had a change of heart. I guess Z/28 ownership isn’t for everybody. Still, this is nearly a brand-new car, with a total of 804 miles on the clock. It’s safe to say that its “desirability rating” is quite high.

To clarify, what we have here is a fifth-generation Camaro, the one that came out in March of 2009 and was in production until late 2015. A facelift was applied for the 2014 model year, and during the 2013 New York Auto Show, the Z/28 specification was unveiled as a higher performance variant designed for track driving.

These Z/28 cars also came with a full aerodynamic package, different interior trim, and a V8 engine co-developed with Corvette Racing.

This particular black example is one of just 1,292 units produced for the 2015 model year, and as you can see, it’s got all the Z/28 goodies you’d expect to see: aero kit, aluminum hood with a vented carbon fiber insert, the rear spoiler, wheel arch extensions, side skirts, quad exhaust setup, plus a set of black 19” Y-spoke wheels with 305/30 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

We should note that the rubber is new, and that originally, Z/28 models came with Pirelli P Zero Trofeo Rs (which were also included in the sale). This also has a fully independent suspension, spool-valve dampers, Performance Traction Management, and Brembo calipers over carbon-ceramic rotors.

Interior highlights include the black leather Recaro front seats with microfiber suede inserts and embroidered Z/28 logos, an optional sound system, air conditioning, aluminum pedals, and a suede microfiber steering wheel and shift knob. Again, the digital odometer shows 804 miles, which means that this Camaro’s new owner can basically enjoy a brand-new, 10-year-old car, so to speak.

As for that hand-assembled 7.0-liter LS7 V8 unit, it’s factory rated at 505 horsepower and 481 lb-ft of torque, with everything going to the rear wheels via a Tremec six-speed manual transmission and a helical limited-slip differential with an external cooler.

In a straight line, this thing will get you to 60 mph (97 kph) in just 3.95 seconds, before maxing out at 188 mph (303 kph). To be fair, the Camaro Z/28 isn’t necessarily about straight-line performance, but rather kicking some serious behind on a racetrack. In fact, there are plenty of people who preferred this car over the equivalent Nissan GT-R Nismo back in the day.
