Slide 10: Three Sources of Improved Lap Times
THREE SOURCES OF IMPROVED LAP TIMES 1. Lightweighting: ¶ 3,820 pounds (non A/C car) – 55 lbs. lighter than a 1LE ¶ Naturally-aspirated LS7 engine with 505 horsepower 2. Increased braking performance: ¶ Standard Brembo Ceramic Composite brakes and 305/30ZR19 Pirelli Trofeo R tires ¶ Capable of 1.5 g
Slide 11: Lightweighting – Took Out Everything That Didn't Make It Go Faster
LIGHTWEIGHTING – TOOK OUT EVERYTHING THAT DIDN’T MAKE IT GO FASTER, OR WAS REQUIRED BY LAW
Slide 12: Lightweighting – Meticulous Shedding
LIGHTWEIGHTING – METICULOUS SHEDDING 5 biggest Weight savings 5 smallest Weight savings 21.92 kilograms Wheel (8.7 kg) and 400 grams 0.3-mm thinner rear glass tire (13.2 kg) package 12.9 kilograms Air conditioning is only available 500 grams Stripped the redundant wiring as a stand-alone option out
Slide 13: Naturally Aspirated LS7 Engine
NATURALLY ASPIRATED LS7 ENGINE ¶ 63.7 lbs (28.9 kg) lighter than LSA ¶ Lightweight design improves the front-to-rear weight balance for better handling ¶ Race-proven hardware, including titanium valves, Pankl titanium connecting rods, Mahle pistons

Slide 15: Standard Dry-Sump Oiling System
STANDARD DRY-SUMP OILING SYSTEM ¶ First production dry sump lubrication system in a Camaro ¶ This race-inspired system enables high lateral acceleration without a loss in oil pressure or delivery ¶ Designed for high RPM and high G cornering capability
Slide 16: Standard Track-Capable Cooling Systems
STANDARD TRACK-CAPABLE COOLING SYSTEMS Z/28 equipped with all of the cooling equipment necessary for track use, including: ¶ Engine oil cooled by an integral liquid-to-liquid system, similar to that found on the Corvette ZR1 ¶ The transmission and differential are cooled by a high-capacity liquid-to
Slide 17: Torsen Helical Limited Slip
TORSEN HELICAL LIMITED SLIP Cuts 0.7 seconds per lap at Milford Road Course Traditional limited-slips are biased for on straight-line traction AAM Helical limited slip can be optimized for three phases of a corner: ¶ Corner Entry – low coupling allows ABS to function for individual wheel sides ¶ Mid
Slide 18: Increased Braking Performance
INCREASED BRAKING PERFORMANCE Focused on latest possible braking zone and consistent braking, lap after lap
Slide 19: DSSV – From Race to Road
DSSV®- FROM RACE TO ROAD Used in F1 teams, F3, Ferrari Challenge, Aston Martin One-77
Slide 20: What Is DSSV?
WHAT IS DSSV? DSSV® is an acronym for Dynamic Suspensions Spool Shim dampers Valve rely on a stack of flexible steel ¶ DSSV® dampers use precision disks to spool valve technology to regulate oil flow deliver the highest level of through a series damper predictability, of orifices. accuracy and repea
Slide 21: Technology Shaped Ports
TECHNOLOGY SHAPED PORTS DSSV dampers regulate oil flow via shaped ports. ¶ The shape of these ports Digressive Force defines the characteristic force- velocity curve of the damper Linear Velocity
Slide 22: Inside the Z/28 Dampers
INSIDE THE Z/28 DAMPERS Inside the Camaro Z/28 dampers ¶ Two independent, self-piloted spool valves allow for fully independent tuning of compression and rebound characteristics ¶ Both front and rear utilize the same spool-in-piston monotube architecture, allowing maximum piston diameter for the ava
