Racer/wildman Tomy Drissi thrashes his ‘69 RS Z/28

I think I borked it by commenting, then editing the comment to add a link which maybe I don't have permissions to do yet as a new member so my post is in limbo
I was commenting to add how rare it is to see a LeMans Blue RS Z with blue deluxe interior, then looked it up and found out it's so rare that Chevy never built that combo!

In my opinion theres a big difference between running your car down a dragstrip (which I very much condone) and sliding a muscle car sideways in every direction with ZERO respect to the car.

You condone drag racing? Coming from a guy that builds race engines? lol

From what I see in the video he's actually pretty smooth with the car, low rpm, and not much abuse other than the tires. I'm much harder on the cars at the dragstrip. But then again, I hear similar comments from people that think I'm crazy for daily driving our RS Z. I don't own these things to stare at them in the garage.

Condone means to approve,allow & accept,so in the case of Drag racing,he used that correctly.

I read that backwards lol

Sorry Mark, I did think it was odd to see a comment like that coming from you, of course reading it as the opposite of what you meant of course. Hence my question marks.

Mr70, thanks for making me read that again.

My mistake - I misread the CRG page with 1969 Color Combinations. Those charts are recommendations "as established by GM Styling" but a ZP2 color trim code would override and let a customer pick what they wanted...

Nice car, glad to see it being driven. Have to say though, that I would’ve preferred to see a professional driver doing that on a track or closed circuit.
