Chevy Camaro Z28 built to race

If you’ve ever watched racing before you know that downforce is key. Too much, not enough, in the wrong place all of that will really mess up your day. The crew at Chevy know this and so when they set out to make a Camaro worthy of the track they decided that getting the downforce right was imperative.
