Wow, I like that car. Those L82's were quick, also. Four speed and no AC, just the way I like them.

That test car info was a AC car and the LT weight was 200 Lbs heavier than a regular Z28. The 4 speed 3:73 cars were faster than 15 seconds.

I don't have any actual stats, but I can tell you this....I traded in a 70 Z28 on a brand new 73 Z28 and kept it for 27 years. In real world street driving there was very little noticeable difference in performance. In totally stock form, the 73 would not quite bury the 130 mph speedometer.....maybe 127 or so :eek2:
