Motor Trend picked the awesome Camaro Z/28 as Best Driver's Car! First Ever American Car To Win!
Porsche, Audit, Ferrari, Etc. but CAMARO? Wow! As a Porsche driver, I found this a true surprise, yet Motor Trend (my heroes) tested all the candidates and the Z/28 won out!
"Camaro Z/28 is Motor Trend’s Best Driver’s Car 2014-09-25
DETROIT –Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is Motor Trend’s 2014 Best Driver’s Car. It’s the first American-brand car to win the 7-year-old award.
The Best Driver’s Car contenders are selected from all new or significantly revised performance cars launched in the 12 months prior to the test.
