These latest spy shots ask a few questions, and answer zero. Foremost, where has the giant wing gone? The massive rear wing was present in the first round of spy shots showing the Camaro Z/28 for the first time, and curiously, it’s still present in photos of the car at GM’s test track.
However, on the street, it’s gone. Per Camaro News, it may be a unit to maximize downforce for the track, but removable for regular driving practices. Another curious portion are the wheels: these test mules do not rock the same fifth-generation Z/28 wheels we saw earlier.
It could be a totally different variant of Camaro altogether, but it’s clear this prototype means business, evident by the ZL1-looking front fascia, meaty tires and massive tailpipes in the rear.
The Camaro team has stated each performance variant for the sixth-generation Camaro has already been developed from the vehicle’s inception, which has led to this rapid fire of Camaro reveals. However, it looks like this Z/28, or whatever it may turn out to be, will be baking for a while long.

Carbon carbon carbon carbon carbon. Mushroom mushroom.
As in magic mushrooms? LOL
Is there any chance for a drag race oriented Camaro that is street legal and uses the COPO name? I’m just dreaming.
Chevrolet is trying their best to bring some excitement to the Camaro because while sales have been improving, Ford’s Mustang sales is moving at warp speed as Ford almost sold twice as many of the Mustang in March than the Camaro; but you’ve got to wonder why.. as in the Motor Trend head-to-head testing it was the Camaro SS that they picked as the winner over the BMW M4 and not the Mustang (not to mention that Chevy is superior to Ford according to JD Power car dependability rankings #10 vs #26).
