The 1967 Z/28 weighed within 100lb of the 1998 Z/28.
The 290HP DZ engine could just barely hit 101mph.
The 305HP LS1 engine could tag 107mph.
That's huge.
The 67 Z/28 was a bunch faster than many other cars of the same weight with more brochure HP.
There was a lot of debate in the late 90's whether the new cars were as fast as the cars of the Musclecar Era.
15 years later, that discussion is settled.
