Yes OP. The Z28 was first created to participate in the very popular at the time Trans Am series. A track halo car if you will. Chevy got the press with the Z28 and was winning the races after 1967. Ford did not catch up until 1970 in the series. That is where the rep comes from.

The SS was used on a number of cars, some good, some not so. Chevy misused the Z28 cache in later years. So it is the history that gives the Z28 its status.

Z28 = Track animal.
