1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

The 1970 model year marked the arrival of the new second-generation Camaro, which featured a radical restyle. The modern semi-fastback roof line was the main feature, as were the new platform and the absence of a convertible option. The early ’70s Camaros were proper muscle coupes with power and style to back this claim. Chevrolet retained the SS 350 and SS 396 versions with unchanged power, and some early brochures even mentioned the SS 454 model. But the car was never produced (via Car and Driver).

However, the best all-around car was still the Z/28 version, now featuring 350 LT1 V8 engine and 350 hp ratings. With the revised suspension, braking, and four-speed manual transmission, the Z/28 was a sharp and precise sports car that could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.8 seconds and handle like a European exotic.
