that test is retarded...they have the exact same cars, running not even .8 within each other....explain why BBF's are so rare now? and the BBC has been kickin *** and taken names for 50 years? there was only 2 zl1 corvettes ever made, and one is owned by chevrolet, so i doubt they actually tested the car...and dodge never made a 440 hemi, so no you are wrong

That test is the truth.

The hemi dart and barracuda with the factory fiberglass front ends would destroy anything else. I made this clear in my previous post.

Plus, YOU said 440 hemi, not somebody else.

well your certainly not beating a chevy with a 440 hemi...cuz that didn't come from the factory...factory vs. factory the ZL1 corvette made 670hp and weighed about 3100 pounds, was rated at 430hp...with slicks the car would do 10.9 @ 130+ mph...so no...in the late 60's early 70's you couldn't beat a chevy if it was a ZL1

Also, BOTH ZL1 corvettes are in the hands of private collectors. Not GM.

Explain why a vast majority in 1969 was running the cobra jet cars at the drag strip then? Versus the 427/and/or 454 Camaro?

Not to be a smart ***, but the 454 didn't come out until 1970.
My memory may be abit rusty here, and I know more about the chevelle history than camaro's, but I think 396 was the largest motor you could get without a special order (like COPO). A 427 was pretty darn rare in anything other than corvettes, and even pretty rare in them. The vast majority of chevy bigblocks on the strip in '69 were 396's. Ifs its a true original 427, its fairly valuable.

I love that you can buy ZL1's again. I almost bought one instead of the 502. Maybe some day.

theres a cuda and a barracuda 0 the cuda was a special car that richard petty raced - AAR Cudas are worth about 200,000 in great condition and barracudas were the normal production

i saw some idiot say that a 440 wasnt factory so i will ask what the chargers came with cuz i can guarentee it wasnt worth it for them to throw that 6 pack on a 318 - chargers had 440 6p acks from the facory as well so your wrong there. And they werent the only ones.

 

[smd4life 5,000+ posts]

ok..he mentioned something about a 440 hemi with a 6 pack,...that never came from the factory, no one ever said a 440 didn't come from the factory in this thread...ever...so i don't know what your reading

Well aware of it chief, I never defined what year I was discussing with you. You spouted off with the typical hot headed YOU CANT BEAT A CHEVROLET mentality...which you can, it's just more expensive...it's called, a 440 6 pack hemi, or the boss 429...which was late 60's early 70's..then it fizzled.

They also came out with the 'drag pack option' which consisted of oil coolers, and 4.30 gears with the 4 speed for gear jammers....

10.9 on a bone stock car? (minus slicks of course) in 1969-1970 on pump gas?

Interesting....

http://able2know.org/topic/78725-3

Looks like we're looking at 11.80 @ 122mph

Regardless still faster than the mustang on that graph..

But at the top we have...what's that? A **** Plymouth...then a Dodge?

Well I'll be, I was right!

motor trend tested a zl1 camaro back in 1968 and it ran a 10.86 @ 132

welll ill be, your a ***

454 where never offerd in a camaro, UNLESS you got a baldwin motion 70 camaro. but thats a bit of a special build from a factory tuner from the 60s and 70s. also the only good ford motor maid was the the ford SOHC cam 429. i also belave it had a hemi type comustion chaimber.

Sorry about that, didn't even notice that he said 440 hemi first.

Either way though, you didn't correct him, just merely said that nothing like that came from the factory. But it seems as though we sunk to the level of chidish name callinng. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Anyways, 2 ZL1 corvettes exist, and both are in the hands of private collectors.

The white ZL-1 belongs to the Kevin Suydam Collection in Washington state. It is now restored to original showroom condition. Along with its ZL1 option are the J50 power brakes, J56 heavy Duty Brakes, F41 suspension, K66 Transistor Ignition, G81 Posi Rear Axle, M22 Muncie Four Speed, F70x15 Red Stripe tires, A01 Tinted Glass and Front Louver Trim. It has been Bloomington Gold certified and featured in many magazines and numerous books through the years including magazines such as Motor Trend, Corvette Fever, Vette Vues, Classic Auto Restorer, Corvette Quarterly, Vette, Musclecars, and hard back books such as Automobile Quarterly, Corvette-The Complete Illustrated History, Corvette-Americas Sports Car, and American Muscle to name a few.
The yellow ZL-1 is in the hands of a Corvette collector by the name of Roger Judski of Roger's Corvette Centre in Orlando, Florida. He purchased the car in 1991 for $300,000 at a federal government auction. It had been restored in the 80s in Houston, Texas and then sold to a private party. The auctioning of the car was a result of a seizure from Richard Joseph Lynn who was convicted of dealing cocaine and sentenced to life in prison with no parole. Judski’s plan is to keep the car for life and he doesn't drive it.

Why are you getting so butt hurt over this?

I even said I was a diehard chevy guy, but you simply cannot deny the fact that the factory race car hemi dart was a monster. Even moreso than the ZL1 and copo camaros.

Once again, get your panties out of a twist and relax a little bit. Geez.

Its moot anyway. The new motors you can drop in these things are way better anyway.
