Just a few days after spy shots showing the new Chevrolet Camaro Z28 testing at the N rburgring with nothing more than a camo paint job, a video has followed showing that same muscle car in action at the Ring. The video also shows the new Z28 crashing hard.The video of the Chevrolet Camaro Z28 at the N rburgring starts off like many of the modern "Ring" spy videos. We see the new Camaro creep through the paddock area and out onto the track. We then see about a minute and a half of the new Z28 storming around the famous road course, giving us our best chance yet to hear the mysterious V8 engine of the new Z28 package.Around the minute and a half mark, the video is seemingly set to end, as it shows the Camaro Z28 pulling back off of the track. However, it jumps back to the rear section of the track, where the Camaro comes into a twisty portion and when the driver locks the brakes up the car slides and hits the inside wall very hard. The 6th gen Camaro Z28 hits the wall hard enough to get the car up off of the ground, but the driver is able to quickly settle the car down and get across to a safer grassy area on the other side of the racing surface.As the camera angle changes, we can see the damage to the right front corner of the Camaro Z28 and really, it appears to have held up to that shot pretty nicely. As an odd twist, as the driver gets out after the crash, he runs around and wrestles the passenger door open, letting one person out of that side while another climbs out of the driver"s door.I’m not sure why the new Camaro Z28 would be testing at the Ring with three people in the car, but they surely got one hell of a ride.Join the LS1 crowd in the forum.>>Tags: 6th Gen Camaro, camaro, Camaro Z/28, Nurburgring, Z28
