Bought a 69 Z28 of the showroom floor when I was almost 18. Took it right to the local dragstip (oswego illinois) thinking it was so fast. Boy was I surprised when I turned 15 seconds flat each time thru the quarter. Slowly did some mods( slicks, Mickey Thompson headers, higher duration cam, valve springs, fuel block, Holly 3 barrel and traction bars) then could crack into the high 13's. Sold the car went in the military and a few years ago found the exact stock copy of my 69 in Oklahoma. Bought the car, which was totally original with miles under 60k for an investment but it was terrible to drive since it didn't have power steering. Anyway traded it for an 08 Z06 which is awesome. Yesterday put in an order for a Camaro SS/RS and more excited about that car than my Vet.
