The new Camaro Z28 is quite good even when compared to the old 997 GT3

Flappy paddle gear boxes are all the rage today but they're no fun! A proper manual is so much better and that's what makes the new Camaro Z28 so special. Chevrolet made this giant car, a focused track car and gave it a proper manual gear box. That's just fantastic. However in these day's of torque vectoring, and fancy track control programs it's hard to find a track focused car that comes with three pedals. That's where the 997 GT3 comes in. It's the last 911 GT3 with a proper manual, and it's one of the best cars ever made. How does the big giant Camaro stack up to the legend(wait for it)dary Porsche? Well it does quite good as Chris Harris shows. I'm not a huge American car fan or Camaro fan but the Z28 looks like a great car that I would even own. This is less of a comparison and more of celebration of manual gearboxes and drivers cars. Why can't we have more of this? [spoiler]Also if you like this you should subscribe to drive+. It's 4 bucks a month and provides longer videos and more great content that the regular /drive channel doesn't get. I know these day's people hate paying for things but I don't mind it, especially for content this great. If you enjoy this skip going to a fast good joint one week and subscribe to drive+[/spoiler]

  • While I agree that traditional manuals are way more fun, dual clutch transmissions are simply better performing and for a pure track car that's what you need. Enjoyment goes out the window when it comes to performance. That's why the z28 doesn't have things like a radio and AC. I can't wait to see the new z06 spank the z28 though.. And the automatic, even though its a slush box will probably out perform the manual.
