And he went ahead and bought a Z28. True to his word.

Just watched this again, and Chris is spot on about the virtues of analogue stuff. Long live manual transmissions, mechanical watches, and turn tables!

Only just found out that Chris owned a Z28 like this one I had to rewatch it

Its a proven method. Big tires, big brakes, good suspension and a good drivetrain. Can't fuck up with that.

11:08 , waxing poetical, why Chris is the best: "An analogue car in a digital age, like a lovely chronometer on your wrists, and like a beautiful turntable in your hi-fi"

harris in a gt3 is one of the best things to watch.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU CHRIS!!! Once again, you have come through with the goods. Yes, we should have stopped moaning about the small fee for /DRIVE+. I mean $4 per month for quality content isn't really that big of a stretch, but when Chris left, that was the final straw. It's good to have you back, ol' friend!

I own both cars, so I can speak with experience on these two great cars. I have owned the Porsche for over 2 years and have had it on the track several times. Unbelieveable car!! I recently purchased a 2014 Z/28 when Chevy reduced the purchase price by 20%...yes 20%. Paid just over 60K. I have not had the Z/28 on the track yet, but I can tell you it will be a beast in it's domain. While this seems like a unfair comparision, it is after all just comparing two cars, both built with the track in mind. I can tell you this the sheer driving pleasure of the Camaro is on par with the Porsche, just in a differant way. It is raw, rough & completely unbelieveable for the money. A much better value then the Porsche. Once the 7.0L is upgraded to NA 650 HP this month, I think it will keep up with the Porsche and perhaps beat it at the track. And it will still be less then 70K. Stay tuned!

Do you ever take time out to appreciate Chris and how ambidextrous he is in these cars...SALUTE 🙌🏽

It's so weird, a few years ago when it came out I hated the camaro. But now the z28 has completely won me over. It's so strange seeing so much rubber in the front of a car. And those angles; that rectangular shape looks so rugged. I like it. I really like it.

Watching Chris is as close to actually being in the car with the driver as you can get.

Maybe one of the best american sportscars ever made.

Thank God! KZfaq is worth watching again!!!

Chris, cannot thank you enough.

The sound of that V8 is great!

Man Chris can drive. Talking and driving on a track with one hand. Love both cars but bang for the buck, the z28 is hard to beat.

Small detail, but i really appreciate no bleep noise when Chris say's bullshit.

Who would of thought a Camaro against a legendary Porsche.....Great job Chevy!

It's hilarious how many morons on here are so butt hurt about how good of a car the Z28 is. I have never been a fan of Camaro's in general by the way. Every sports car I have owned is either German or Japanese. I do have a friend who own a GT3 RS and have been fortunate enough to spend some time on a couple race tracks with it, that Porsche is probably the best all around car I have ever driven. The first time I took a hard lap in it... I just drooled on myself. But all that proves is how cool the Z28 is considering it has been proven dozens of times to compete with or even out perform cars that are far more expensive to own and maintain. My buddy loves his GT3 but even he admits that the Camaro is badass. He is filthy rich, so he has no reason to leave his Porsche behind, but he openly admits that if he had less money the Z28 is probably a better value track car with very little drop off in fun and performance when you consider the cost to own and operate. I can barely afford to set up and run an 18 year old BMW M3 at the track on the regular...track cars are expensive no matter what kind it is. So anyone who doesn't appreciate the outstanding value and performance of the Z28 has right out of the box...has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. It's actually kind of sad to see so many people that are unwilling to enjoy the awesomeness of a new car just because they are too stuck up to admit that a "bunch of fat Americans" can actually build a badass track car that you don't have to be filthy rich to own. The even sadder part is that I promise that 99% of the people making those comments have never driven either car or one like them on a track...most have probably never driven on a track at all. All Chris Harris does for a living is driving crazy nice and expensive sports cars. So if it's good enough for him, then anyone bashing the Z28 must be one special person.

2023 here: still watching it 😊

So my take away here is this fella can drive, at track speeds, in the rain, while giving a review, better than me poking at my keyboard while resting comfortably on my couch. Geeesh. Love this!

Great to see you back Chris. Please, never leave us.

Chris Harris is one of the best drivers out there!!!

The stig keychain on the z28 keys lol I love it

Great video! Your ability to communicate your joy of driving is beautiful. Your flicks are the best car reviews on the net.

Proper video! Thank you, Chris.

What a madman behind the wheel! I love it!

excellent review!!! Damn I luv the GT3 RS,my all time favorite!! The z28 is an absolute beast..I would take either car!! Keep the reviews coming...

this is heaven thank you so much

"Make a track car out of a Camaro?" I love your skills and commentary Chris but you know what? We have been doing that since the 1960's.

Just amazing Camera work in this piece... Really really enjoyed it.

3:00 that precision. Sublime.

Chriss!!!!!!!! Could you PLEASE do a video on how to heel-and-toe???

This is my favorite video of all time on KZfaq I don't know why but it's awesome

6:38 reaching for the paddles😂😂

Watching this Is so satisfying. A drenched track.....a drifters dream.

I can't imagine trying to wrestle that Z28 in the rain.

I would be happy with either of these in my driveway. Petrolheads, be glad such cars still exist!

Back at this 9 years on now. What machines !!

I'm so glad to see this channel... thank you Chris! :)

It's so great to have Chris Harris back. He does what we do. This flogging in the rain reminds me of a week I spent in Seattle in a borrowed C5 corvette. Just a blast!

In my eyes, the best bang for the buck that Z28 Camaro! And it looks gorgeous! I'll have one thanks haha!

Chris, another great Video, every time I see one of your Videos it make me want to jump in my Fiesta ST with a short shift kit and those sticky Mitchlen’s and go Bang some gears.

My two favorite cars, literally.

Seriously, this man is the best. As a viewer he is just such a joy to listen to. He criticizes......but in a constructive way. He gives compliments.....but in a way that doesnt make him sound bias and a fanboy of a certain car/brand. He is a fan of the auto industry and cars themselves, for what they truly are. Continue to make great stuff Chris.

paddle free zone. the car world needs more of that. Its also great your vids are now free.

the one thing I love about Chris Harris is the enjoyment you can see on his face when he has "fun" while driving, better than other videos where they just read off the spec sheets the whole time

two really good cars. nicely captured also.

Nice machines....

Welcome back sir! The KZfaq community salutes you!

This kind of videos cure my anxiety.

Wow, the Z28 revs to 7krpm? That's quite the number for 7l of displacement and eight cylinders.

Stig key ring. Neat!

great review as always.

No disrespect to Jeremy Clarkson or Tiff Needell but I got to say that between Randy Pobst & Chris Harris they both are my favorite drivers! Great on camara appeal & top notch driving skills period!! Honorable mention Vicki Henderson for her great personality and sexy witted one liners!! That Camaro is the reason why Chevy needs to get their stuff together and give the Camaro a serious & all out remake that's bound to reinvigorate the Camaro heritage! Enough playing it safe & being restrained! The new C8 proves you still have the right tools in the shed now let's hit another home run with a IROC Z for retribution!!

Two epic cars , what more could you ask .

That 997 is a handsome looking car.

8:04 Stig on the keychain :)

Thanks to have you back Chris ..you were always bigger than drive ..Noe you own you and fans are pleased

love the lego Stig on the keys.

Very nice cars

Another great video Chris !

my jaw dropped when i saw those 305's in the front... damn!

You drive beautifully!! really glad you like our new Z/28. were proud of it ourselfs! And I feel that as an American sports car, we are doing what we've always tried to do, is deliver a great car that can hang with the worlds best, for a fraction of the cost!! But we don't know that until a true European car enthusiast tells us that we've accomplished the amazing feat of coming close to the pure refinement of the polished European cars! Thank you very much sir!!

a z28 like that one is on my bucket list. an attainable drivers car with a real stick, thank you gm

I love em both. You really have to drive these cars.

Still there will be many apologists for paddle shift transmissions, I just dont understand what guys like that dont get about the need to driver involvement. Government bureaucrats, environmentalists and rich posers that can't drive killed the manual transmission. There's so many great cars that you look back and think 'if only it had a manual'

Off the topic but please what wrist watch is that? :)

Love that Chris Harris has his own channel!!!

6:37 he thought there was a paddle lmao

loved watching those cars in the wet anyone notice the stig key chain in the camaro

The camaro was faster than the RS on the track ? wow.

Dang man that's the rain. Chris got skills

the stig on the camaro key

Z/28💪🇺🇸

Pick a day without rain lol - I commend you for coming out anyway.

Dang that was a sweet video!

I'll be a Ford guy 'till the day I die, I just think they make such classic cars. The new facelift Camaro doesn't look too modern but the new performance versions sure are damn well put together cars, especially considering what was coming out of GM just a few years ago. I can't wait to see some testing of the Mustang GT350 and GT350R, hope Chris gets his hands on a hot Mustang soon!

The RS is screaming. Love it

The noise of gt3 it's simply beautiful

The Z/28 is underappreciated. Thanks Chris Harris for educating the audience about the purpose of this vehicle in your words "the digital age"

I love 997 GT3 RS, it's my favourite car ever! But, honestly, after watching this, I'm in LOVE with the Camaro... So beautiful, so loud, so fast and so cheap! Great vid btw!

Chris Harris is a lucky guy because he's a big kid always playing with the best toys, and he earns a living with it !

One hell of a driver!

with the new Mustang GT350R, I feel this test has to be redone.

If you love track cars with manual you should really review the 2015 viper ACR when it hits production. Or a 2014 T/A :) would love to watch a viper review from you

nice review Chris,I love both cars,couldn't pick out which is better performance wise,although i think the porsche is nimble and more responsive when turning.But both cars win.

Two of my got to have cars. Just smiling the whole time.

Awww, a little Stig key chain, Chris you're awesome.

side thought- his rolex is quite nice

Finally a Performance car from the US! Best of all it is priced correctly. As long as their are no dealer markups. I believe the European counterparts having been goudging car enthusiast all along. Competition makes them honest and savvy buyers educated.

6.38.....reaches for the paddle up-shift? (Or maybe the wiper) Brilliant vid.

This dude is a fuckn machine. He drove that z/28 around a wet track like it was nothing. He kicked that ass out and kept everything in control

Dude was just throwing those cars around the corners .. insane

4:45 Thank you! That can't be given to you.

legend

trans am series, camaros have always been great track cars

I just bought a Z28: you are spot on - she is special

Long time fan, although im not going to turn adblock+ off you could put ads at the end of the vid and I'll watch them if that means you keep this up.

Not to sure who was in charge of building the Camaro but what a bang up job. Give the people what they want !!! Keep it simple and they sure did. Listen to what the customer's want stick shift jice and easy and grest bang for the buck what more could ya want. No doubts they will sell shit tons
