XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Chevrolet CAMARO 8 CYL 2011-2015

The fifth-generation Camaro’s 6.2-litre V8 sits well forward of the front axle, and on a sealed-stage tarmac rally that mass keeps pulling the nose straight long after the wheel has been turned in. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover is built around that reality: a damper calibrated for repeated hits off blind crests and mid-corner compressions, not a smooth showground surface.

For the 2011-2015 Chevrolet Camaro 8 CYL, that means a chassis that stays composed when a stage road drops away under the front wheels or throws a broken edge into the outside line. This is the spec for a Camaro running closed tarmac stages, not a car that only ever sees a circuit paddock.

What this coilover does for your 2011-2015 Chevrolet Camaro 8 CYL

On a tarmac stage the road surface is rarely flat for more than a few car lengths, and the Camaro’s own weight makes every bump a bigger event than it would be in a lighter car. This coilover is tuned to absorb that impact rather than transmit it straight into the chassis, taking the edge off big hits without letting the body pitch and wallow afterwards. The result is more of the tyre’s footprint staying in contact with the road through a compression, which on a 2011-2015 Chevrolet Camaro means more traction exactly where a big naturally-aspirated V8 needs it most: putting power down out of a stage corner. Suppressing that secondary shock through the body also keeps the rear axle settled after a jump or crest, so the car is pointing where you left it rather than where the last bump sent it.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing built the Tarmac Rally line specifically for closed-road stages run on broken or patched tarmac, where the surface changes character corner to corner in a way a smooth circuit never does. The damper is set up to soak up the impact of an uneven surface and deal with the sudden jolt of a larger compression without passing that shock straight through to the body, which is what actually keeps the tyre loaded and gripping rather than skipping across the surface. That stability is the point: a car that holds its line and its footprint through a rough section is one a driver can commit to on a stage they’ve only seen once. The valving in this coilover comes directly out of XYZ’s own tarmac rally programme, where settings have been worked out car by car under stage conditions rather than on a rolling road. Fitted to the Camaro 8 CYL, it applies that same rally-derived calibration to a genuinely heavy, front-engined V8 platform rather than a lighter rally-bred hatch.
