In a street race (where 99% of these cars built thier rep, and what sold the cars) what would you rather have: a small block 302 that had 0 low rpm torque or a 396 that was all in with 400lbs + torque @ 5k.? Remember the Z28 was built to go Trans Am racing, wasn't necessarily built to be the number one selling Camaro. Although they did sell a ton of them. My .02
