The Z/28 was way under rated. The true horsepower was actually between 390 and 400HP. However, there was a high revving cam in the car and most of the power came in the upper band. A 396 big block Camaro would take a Z/28 in the first 1/8th of a mile because of the torque but the Z/28 would win in the 1/4 mile top end when the revs built up and the cam kicked in. The Z/28 was definitely NOT the weakest Camaro.
