Z06 had s 33 gallon gas tank, and special heavy duty springs front and rear, and revalved shock absorbers front and rear. And yes this COPO was started in 1963. As far as top dog yes, 1. Look at the sticker prices back then, which car cost more PER OPTION? 2. If the Camaro Z28 was no good at launching, why did they have numerically higher gears? 3:73s, 4;10s, with a 4;56 option available in 68& 69? Not great at launching, you ever drive a Z28? Hell the 69 I used to own the cam didnt come in till 3000rpm, red line was at 7000 on the AC tach and the damn thing didnt hardly want to idle below 1000 !!!!!!!! It had the cross-ram on it, god wish I had that car back, but my 72 aint no slouch either. O and remember the Original COPO ZR-1s, were big blocks.
