If were talking dag strip, then either a 396 SS car, or COPO 427 (if you wanted to pay basically double the cost of a SS 396). In a straight line no doubt the big block SS cars would take the Z28. Trust me, I own one of each. The Z28 is actually kind of boring to drive around town unless you keep it above 3500rpm.

Actually, when the Z/28 first came out in '67, there was no Boss 302 yet (at least on the track). Ford was still running 289cid engines in the Trans Am Sedan Races. Other than that small detail I agree with your thoughts.
