In-Game Description[]

Car Collection (GT7)[]

The most popular of the 1st generation Camaros, because of its looks and speed.

The Ford Mustang was a hit compact sports coupé that was dropped into the world of American cars at a time when bigger was always better and luxury meant everything. While the success of the Mustang was due to its more than adequate performance, low price, and a well planned advertising campaign, there was a car designed to outdo the Mustang in every way; this was the first generation Chevrolet Camaro that debuted in 1966.

While attracting a lot of attention at the time of its debut, it still could not overtake the Mustang in sales. The remedy that was introduced to alleviate this situation was the high performance Z28 model. The 302 cu.in. displacement of the engine was set to match the regulations for the 305 cu.in. (5,000 cc) 'Trans-Am' races, and with this highly tuned engine and a chassis that can handle the power, the existence of the built-to-race Z28 greatly contributed to raising the image of the Camaro and driving its sales.

The final 1969 model is the most popular out of all the Camaros throughout the years as the icon of the golden era of automobiles in America. But even out of these the Z28 is on a whole different level, and is especially desirable to many.

Legend Cars (GT7)[]

The 1969 Z28 was the last of the first-generation Camaros, and is considered one of the greatest of them all. Despite only three years of production... 700,000 were sold, featuring 12 different engines, including straight-six and V8 models. This Z28 is the quintessential Camaro from that first generation. It boasts a high-revving 5L V8 engine, 4-speed manual transmission, and power disc brakes... And is easily recognised by the two wide stripes that run the length of its body. Oh, and there's an interesting story behind its engine, too. It's actually based on a racing engine, and is essentially a de-tuned version of the 5L engine... Originally developed for the SCCA Trans Am series and raced in the Penske Camaro. The Penske Camaro was driven by the famed American racing driver Mark Donahue... Who won the Trans Am series in both 1968 and 1969.

Are you familiar with the term 'muscle car'? Such cars are known for their large displacement and power, traits typical of '60s American sports car culture. The first-generation Camaro Z28 was one of the legendary models of that culture... But its V8 engine, developed especially for the Trans Am series, was also a wonder to behold. Instead of emphasising torque like most large-displacement engines, it offered high-revving power. Not only was this necessary on the street, but it helped it to clinch several victories at Trans-Am races. Known as the last of the Z28s, this 1969 model has been coveted from one generation to the next.

This is my car! No, really, I have one in my garage right now. Ah, the 1969 Camaro is a truly classic American muscle car. Its unique grille-shape gives the design a wide stance... And the character lines on the side artfully evoke a sense of speed. If there's anything outdated about its design, it's the wheels. Personally, I ditched the 14-inch Rally wheels for some 17-inchers. It's a great car to modify and enhance for racing. Trust me, I know.
