20 Muscle Cars To Buy Before the Oil Runs Out

  1. Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

The legendary Z/28 version returned for the 2014 model year in an interesting, extremely capable package. Once again, the Z/28 was a track day car, road racing-oriented Camaro with brakes, suspension and steering dedicated to precision and driving dynamics. Under the hood was a 7.0-liter V8 from the Corvette Z06 that delivered 505 HP. It provided more than enough power and grunt, but the rest of the car was all highly engineered for precision.

The stiffer shocks, thicker anti-roll bars, special wheels and brakes, and a 300-pound lighter body all helped Z/28 achieve better numbers at the racetrack. With its supercharged engine, the Camaro ZL-1 was faster in the straight line. However, the Z/28 was a better all-around performer and a perfect track day vehicle.
