The street version ran an incredible 11.64/122 mph with open headers and small 6-1/2 inch slicks. The #1 car ran 10.29/132 mph.

I purposely posted this for you Sven59. If your talking lap times the new ZL1 would eat an old one, I was just referring to straight line speed. The 69 COPO was rare, but it was production......

I'm just having fun

That's what I thought, Camaros can now turn but Mustangs still can only go straight! I want me one of those 69's but I know I could never afford one. I was thinking of maybe doing a mod to a 69 Camaro with the modern ZL1 driveline underneath. Then I could call it a ZL1.
