“From the all-new Corvette Stingray to the
new Camaro Z/28 and SS performance sedan, Chevrolet is America’s choice for performance cars.
Our new lineup of racing-influenced models gives customers more choices for
exciting driving experiences,” said Chris Perry, vice president
of Chevrolet marketing. “It’s our most diverse range of performance-car choices
in nearly 20 years.”
Through the end
of September, Camaro’s total sales lead over Mustang was more than 5,000 for
the year, putting it on track to be the industry’s best-selling sports car
under $50,000 for the fourth consecutive year. The Camaro enters 2014 with
revised styling and the new Z/28 model – the most track-capable Camaro in the
car’s history.
The all-new SS returns Chevrolet to its
rear-wheel-drive performance sedan roots, established with the small-block V-8
in the 1950s and enhanced with the Impala SS in the early 1960s.
And Chevrolet dealers can hardly keep the all-new Corvette
Stingray in stock, with sold orders rolling to new owners off transporters.
“Racing is the common thread among Chevrolet’s
performance cars and that comes from decades of transferring race technology to
our production models,” said Jim Campbell, GM U.S. vice president of
Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. “Corvette, Camaro and SS deliver
well-balanced, exhilarating driving experiences forged on the racetrack and
refined for the street.”
Many of the concepts unveiled at the SEMA Show have
roots at the racetrack. Others show racing-influenced styling for the street.
Most incorporate Chevrolet Accessories available from Chevrolet dealers,
allowing customers to personalize their new performance car with
factory-engineered and validated components that match the performance and
quality of original equipment.
Also on display was a 2014 COPO Camaro –
Chevrolet’s factory-built race car, designed for NHRA’s Stock Eliminator and
Super Stock drag racing classes. As with the previous two model years, only 69 COPO
models will be built. Racers interested in purchasing one must sign up for the
COPO mailing list at chevrolet.com.
Jeff Gordon SS performance sedan concept
With
input from the No. 24 driver himself, Chevrolet designers restyled the all-new
SS to reflect Gordon’s style and the performance credentials of the brand’s
all-new, rear-wheel-drive performance sedan. A satin exterior finish lends an
all-business appearance to the car, complemented with No. 24 graphics,
custom-finished 20-inch wheels, a carbon fiber rear spoiler and a custom front
grille.
The car
casts a more aggressive stance with a lowered suspension. The Gordon SS concept
features high-performance brakes and a Borla performance exhaust system. The
interior is re-trimmed with perforated suede seat inserts and embroidered
headrests and a racing-style flat-bottom steering wheel and Chevrolet
Accessories pedal kit.
Under the
hood beats the small-block heart of all SS production models: The LS3 6.2L V-8
rated at 415 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. It is backed by a six-speed
automatic transmission with TAPShift.
A special-edition Corvette Stingray concept is revving to go in the new Sony PlayStation® 3 game Gran Turismo 6 commemorating the game’s 15th anniversary – and Chevrolet has built a real version of the virtual racing winner. Like all 2014 Corvette Stingray models, the Gran Turismo® concept is powered by the new LT1 6.2L V-8, which uses direct injection, Active Fuel Management and continuously variable valve timing to produce 460 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. © General Motors

Corvette Stingray Coupe Pacific concept
Influenced by West Coast culture, here racing-influenced performance and
appearance matter this track-inspired Torch Red Corvette Stingray Z51 Coupe’s
design is purposeful and compelling.
The high-performance hue is complemented by a carbon fiber hood and a
visible carbon-fiber weave on the removable roof panel, as well as a
satin-black front splitter and rocker extensions. The Z51 rear spoiler is
painted Carbon Flash Metallic with a Carbon Flash graphics package. The
interior features a carbon fiber trim kit, along with the available Competition
Sport seats and a flat-bottom steering wheel with a carbon fiber finish.
Because it’s a Corvette Stingray Z51, the LT1 engine features a dry-sump
oiling system, the cooling and brake systems are enhanced and the transaxle
features an electronic limited-slip differential. Even the gearing in the
seven-speed manual transmission is unique.
Like the Atlantic concept, the left-coast Corvette concept wears a number
of Chevrolet Accessories, including distinctive satin black aluminum wheels
with a red accent stripe (19 x 8.5-inch in front/20 x 10-inch in the rear).

COPO Camaro
Chevrolet Performance’s COPO Camaro program returns
for 2014 with another limited run of factory-produced race cars and a pair of
new racing engine choices. The COPO
exclusives will carry the distinctive, updated styling of the 2014 Camaro
lineup, including new front and rear fascias.
Each COPO Camaro race car is built by hand starting
with hardware from the Oshawa, Ontario assembly plant that manufactures
regular-production Camaros. Each production car is fitted with an NHRA-approved
roll cage and other safety equipment, along with racing chassis and suspension
components – including a unique solid rear axle system in place of a
regular-production Camaro’s independent rear axle.
The new LS-based racing engines include a revised
version of the naturally aspirated 427 engine and supercharged version of the
350 engine introduced in 2013. It will feature a 2.9L Whipple screw-type
compressor. Naturally aspirated 350 and 396 engines are also available. The car
displayed at the SEMA Show features the supercharged 350.
Serial number 1 of the limited-production 2014 run
will be auctioned by Chevrolet Performance at Barrett-Jackson’s annual January
event in Scottsdale, Ariz. Proceeds will benefit the Achilles Freedom Team of
Wounded Veterans, an organization dedicated to helping wounded veterans
participate in marathons and share their success within a supportive community
and their families
2014 Camaro Z/28
There was no need to modify the all-new 2014 Camaro Z/28 for the SEMA
Show – it’s already a comprehensively
engineered car that recently lapped Germany’s challenging Nürburgring road course in
7:37.40 – on wet track conditions. It was four seconds faster than the Camaro
ZL1, and beats published times for the Porsche 911 Carrera S and the Lamborghini
Murcielago LP640.
In terms
of lap times, the Z/28’s improved speed comes from three areas:
·
Increased
grip: The Z/28 is capable of 1.08 g in cornering acceleration, due to
comprehensive chassis revisions
·
Increased
stopping power: The Z/28 features Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes capable of 1.5 g
in deceleration, and consistent brake feel lap after lap
·
Reduced
curb weight: The naturally aspirated Z/28 weighs 300 pounds less than the
supercharged Camaro ZL1, with changes ranging from lightweight wheels to thinner
rear-window glass.
The
heart of the Z/28 is the 7.0L LS7 engine. The LS7 uses lightweight,
racing-proven, high-performance components, such as titanium intake valves and
connecting rods, CNC-ported aluminum cylinder heads and a forged-steel crankshaft
to help produce an SAE-certified 505 horsepower and 481 lb-ft of torque.
Air-conditioning is available, but only as an option.
The Z/28
goes on sale next spring.
Chevrolet Performance Garage Camaro
Serious
performance enthusiasts will appreciate the combination of Chevrolet
Performance parts and Chevrolet Accessories used to create the Garage Camaro concept,
which is based on the production Camaro SS. It’s a track-oriented car,
incorporating performance and suspension components from the all-new Z/28 – and
a few from the ZL1.
The exterior is
enhanced with a ground effects package, Chevrolet Accessories rear spoiler and
grille, RS headlamps and taillamps, blacked-out mirrors and rear diffuser, and
Chevrolet Accessories satin-black 10-spoke Track Pack wheels. “Chevrolet
Performance” graphics adorn the rockers and windshield header.
Brakes and a
short-throw shifter from the Camaro ZL1 come straight out of the Chevrolet
Performance catalog and are available through Chevrolet dealers, while the
following Z/28 parts are being evaluated by Chevrolet Performance for future
release:
- “Shorty” exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust
system
- Front ride/handling links
- Rear upper control arms
- Stabilizer bars
- Helical differential with internal cooling
system
- Brake ducts
- Racing-derived
DSSV® (Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve) dampers.
