Sure, the new Z/28 has gobs of grip. Shod with 305-section-width Pirelli Trofeo R rubber—tires that are as close to slicks as the law will allow—the mightiest Camaro was bred for track duty first. Any concessions to street use were either mandated by the feds or GM product planning.
One imagines the meeting at GM, with some higher-up asserting, “We can’t sell a car that costs 75 thousand dollars without OnStar! People will think we’ve lost our minds!” In a world where GM sells a 76-thousand-dollar Volt, this thinking makes sense.

Regardless, we’re glad for the system’s inclusion, if only because it led to this awkward conversation at Road America between a concerned OnStar rep and an unfortunate fellow who’d just lunched his new Camaro at Road America. Watch for a “viral” re-creation starring automotive journalist Travis Okulski and a Chevy Spark EV at the New Jersey Motorsports Park kart track sometime soon.
