The 2017 Pontiac
Trans Am Camaro Z/28 uses the dry-sump LS7 7.0-liter aluminum V8 from the
Corvette Z06, rated at 500 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. The engine gets unique
induction and exhaust systems and a low-restriction K&N air filter. The
standard dual-mode exhaust system has larger-diameter pipes and bypasses the
mufflers during hard acceleration.
The only
transmission available is a Tremec six-speed manual with a 3.91:1 final drive
ratio.
The 2017 Trans
Am Camaro package includes a liquid-to-liquid cooler for the transmission and
rear differential. The limited-slip differential uses a helical gear set in
place of traditional clutch packs, which Pontiac says continuously adjusts
torque bias when going through corners.
Stopping
power comes from Brembo carbon-ceramic brake discs -- 15.5-inch units in front
and 15.3-inch units in back -- and fixed monoblock calipers. Pirelli PZero Trofeo
R tires, sized 305/30ZR19, are wrapped around 19-inch wheels. Electronic
stability control is standard.
The 2017 Trans Am Camaro Z/28 is street legal but designed for racetrack duty.
