2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28 priced at $75,000 — and it’s worth every buck

When Chevy resurrected the Z/28 moniker, it promised one thing: This would be a no compromise muscle/sports car that fully lives up to its iconic name. That's no easy task, given the high esteem the original was held in. But the 2014 model has now lapped the Nurburgring in 7 minutes, 37 seconds—faster than a Lexus LFA—and we've ridden in the passenger seat of a pre-production Z/28 and witnessed it punish GM's Milford Proving Grounds firsthand, setting a new outright lap record in the process.

However, we were warned that the Z/28's speed won't come cheap. And now we know exactly how cheap it won't be: $75,000, or a Corvette Stingray AND a base Camaro. That's a lot for a machine with no air-conditioning or radio.

Here's why it worth every dollar.
