One thing this restored 1980 second-generation Chevy Camaro Z/28 lacks is good brakes, in spite of some alterations to its 350 small-block V8.
The car is also utilizing a mostly stock suspension, and let’s just say that The Smoking Tire’s Matt Farah doesn’t exactly have the utmost confidence in this Z/28’s handling and stopping power.
He also says he’s generally weary about old muscle cars and their braking, and this Camaro didn’t do much to put his mind at ease – although cosmetically, the car was restored pretty well.
Under the hood, there are 350 horses and 330 lb-ft (447 Nm) of torque, courtesy of its massive 5.7-liter V8. The owner also made some slight modifications, such as the forged pistons or upgraded intake manifold and headers.
