556 horse!

My 1st inclination is "who cares what they call it with 550+ horse"! 67 Z/28 simply had hood and trunk stripes to differentiate. The RPO was Z28 and could be ordered with many other but not all options. The SS was top dog in the line up. I would simply make it a performance package option then drive another option with a track suspension (Z28). The track or Z28 option could be limited to the HP engine really making it special. Ordering a 67-69 Z meant disc brakes, better front swar bar, 4speed trans and different front/rear springs. The car laid low in stance and handled better than an SS Camaro.

Over time the Z28 became more and more appreciated. That 4x3 engine really screamed and made some decent HP above 5K RPM. RPO the LSA option then give us the chance to add a Z28 suspension with less understeer and better traction. I'm down for that!
