New Camaro Z/28 Outruns Its Own Tires
- Mar 14, 2014
The new 2014 Camaro Z/28 is so fast, it outran its own tires. Here's how Chevy fixed it.
It's well known that the Chevy Camaro Z/28 has the widest front tires of any production car. At 305 mm wide, those tires produce tremendous grip--especially since they're Pirelli P Zero Trofeo Rs. In fact, they make so much grip, the Z/28 was spinning the tire around the wheel under braking--the Z/28 was, in effect, outrunning its tires, or at least their ability to grip the wheels.
