  • I think because of the horsepower alone the 2014 Z28 is the best.

  • Maybe not the best, but I love 67 RS/SS 350 marina blue black vinyl top black stripes around the nose

  • The 73 split bumper Z/28 has always been my favorite Camaro. I think it’s the body lines and the different look of the front of the car. The almost useless split bumper is the signature on this masterpiece!

  • The 69 Z-28 with 302 dual quads is the best Camarillo of all time.

  • i really like the 1973. but truly the 2014. with its powerhouse 430 hp. has to be my favorite . along with my 505 friends say this baby is our dream machine. thank you gm for that
