1973 Second generation Z28 Chevy Camaro
The 1973 Z28 Chevy Camaro or also known as the "Super Hugger'' because of its ability to take sharp corner turns at incredible speeds and still make the turn. The Z28 is the successor of the first generation of the 1967 Camaro but, the second generation of the Z28 is built with the same unibody of the first generation Camaro. The only difference between the two models is that the second generation was built more for comfort and performance. The 1973 Camaro was manufactured by the General Motors and The Chevrolet Division, they were assembled in Van Nuys California and Norwood Ohio. As for the class of the car the 1973 Z28 Camaro can be a pony car or muscle car depending on the engine of the car. The 1973 Z28 has the bodystyle of a 2-door coupe meaning it only seats two people, also for the layout the Z28 is equipped with an FR-layout meaning the engine is located in the front of the car and it drives from the rear. The engine of the Z28 is a 350cu inch 5.7L V8 that produces 245hp, as for the transmission the Z28 has a 3-speed automatic or 4-speed manual if preferred. In my opinion the Z28 shows the original true heart that all muscle cars have, and that is why the 1973 Z28 Chevy Camaro is one of my top favorite muscle cars that were ever built. The reason why I said the Z28 has the true heart of a muscle car is because of the way the body is presented with the W-shaped hood and the gaping mouth of the grill that looks as if it could sallow you whole, and also the bulging of every muscle on the cars body showing how strong it is. To me this is truly the idea of a muscle car, its tough looking with a loud and powerful engine, that in anyone's hands or control would make them feel like a kid in a candy store. That is also why I chose this car to talk about this week.
