That's funny, because I have a 1969 Boss 429 (engine built by Earl Wade..).
The problem with the mill wasn't the mill, it was just that Ford de-tuned the buhjeezus out of it for the street. There was nothing de-tuned about the ZL-1, and do you recall what the COST was for the ZL-1 option? Those two cars weren't competitors...
The Boss 429 engine, opened up to breathe and utilize those hemi heads, was a very formible and successful NASCAR mill... The ZL-1 was not.
Apples/Oranges, and you're just cherry-picking moments in history, taking them out of context, in some attempt to display brand-loyalty...
I like all cars, so what's your next dig at me? (BTW, my Boss ran high-11's on the poly's before I put the stock exhaust back under it).
