Boss 302 Laguna Seca Edition....................they come with rear seat delete and a factory brace. The article states the owner installed a full roll bar and the SVT tach for nostalgic reasons.

...and at least a brake upgrade that he himself whined about...which leaves the question as to what else may have been attended to...

The 'cage would at least tame some of the tin foil chassis' idiosyncrasies...

Prime example of brains vs brawn. There is far more to road-course performance than simply "sticking a big cam" in it. I still give massive respect to GM for choosing one of the most technical tracks on the east coast and telling the mags to bring any one car they want to.- "Here are our nuts, give it your best shot to chop them off!"

F'ing aye!

What the hell was going on with Big Red going into the apexes? Smoke was rolling out of the back of the car every time? Either roasting rear brakes under trailbrake or sucking oil past the valve guides under decel?

Most likely from trailbraking... The Camaro he rented smoked the rear brakes.

This would be a fun competition. Big Red would have the advantage at high speeds. Red Devil would have the advantage at lower speeds. These two 1969 Camaros were built almost 30 years apart and for different purposes. Both are awesome machines!

We may get to see a rematch between Big Red (the '69 Camaro) and Little Red (Big Red's little brother...the 2014 Z28).
