Camaro Z/28, COPO Camaro Raise $1.35M for Charity
The first Chevrolet 2014 Camaro Z/28 sold for $650,000 at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Given how big of a Chevy enthusiast Rick Hendrick is, it’s no surprise that the winning bid went to him. Hendrick will receive the first retail production Z/28 sporting a 7.0-liter V8 engine with 505 hp and 481 lb-ft of torque. The 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 will be priced from $75,000 when it hits dealerships later this year. All proceeds from the Z/28 auction will go to benefit Cornerstone Schools which has provided the children in Detroit an excellent education for over 21 years.

I'd much rather an Audi A5
"No one is ever going to call this a fast car"... 6.3 seconds is pretty quick... Average for a new car is something like 8.5 so a 2 drop is gonna be noticed. It might not feel fast, but it'll outrun most vehicles on the road...
