The powerplant utilized on the Z/28 marks the motor first introduced on the Corvette Z06. The 7.0-liter V-8 produces at least 500 hp and 470 lb. ft. of torque – an 80-hp decrease over the 6.2-liter ZL1. What matters, however, is that the Z/28’s engine offers a significant weight reduction, making the slight horsepower deficit immaterial.

The interior will feel familiar for Camaro lovers, with subtle aspects trimmed to save mass. The tiny rear seats remain, but eliminate the seat-back pass through as well as using high-density foam in place of rigid structural elements. All but one speaker has been removed in the quest for reducing the pound figure; one remains purely so as the seat belt warning signal can sound if you forget to buckle up.

“Our goal,” said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer, “was to make the fastest road-racing Camaro possible that was still street legal. The Z/28 will be too track-focused for most drivers, but offers road-racers one of the most capable track cars ever offered from an automaker.”

That’s a bold statement, but having spent hours hustling the incredibly capable ZL1 on track, I’m not going to pass judgment just yet. With improved lap-times of around three seconds, that statement might be on the money. We don’t yet know prices or speed statistics, but what we do know marks the 2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28 as the best, and most surprising, machine at the New York Auto Show. I’m sure the Ford stand gasped even louder than we did.”

Previous rumors suggested that Dodge would completely do away with its Challenger muscle car in favor of a new Barracuda model, but a new report indicates that might not exactly be the case.

While a Barracuda appears to be in the cards, the new model will actually co-exist with the Challenger, according to Automotive News.

The Challenger will get a slight update in 2013 – including the addition of launch control – with a redesigned version of the car scheduled for the 2015 model year. The new Challenger will ride on an updated platform that should see about two or three inches lopped off of its wheelbase. The Challenger will presumably be offered in base and R/T versions, but the flagship model will be left to Chrysler’s SRT division.

In lieu of a Challenger SRT8, Chrysler’s SRT brand will build a high-performance version of the car under the Barracuda nameplate. The Barracuda will be aimed at vehicles like the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and Ford Shleby GT500, boasting a brand new 6.2L supercharged V8 engine.

Both the new Challenger and Barracuda are expected to arrive during the first half of 2014.

On this episode of HOT ROD Unlimited, David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan hit the road in the hottest new muscle cars, the 2013 Shelby GT500 and the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. This isn’t a serious performance comparison, but a look at how two muscle car guys view the pros and cons of each car while thrashing them on the street and strip like you might if you really owned ‘em. But you probably wouldn’t do as many burnouts and donuts as these guys, because you’d be replacing tires every week. Watch this and make the call: which car would YOU buy?
