Default Re: 1969 Yenko ZL1 Camaro Sebring race car

The ZL-1s were also used in Trans Am Camaros circa 1974-1975 (I think). Frank Gardiner won the British Touring car championship twice with a ZL-1 2nd Gen Camaro, and Bob Jane won the Australian Touring car championship twice with a REAL ZL-1 in the early 70's.
Jane only lost one engine in 2 years. Only ran 11/1 compression. My guess would be Yenko in 1969 did the same. Greenwood ran 9.5/1 compression in his ZL-1's in the mid seventies. Probably because FIA made him run on pump gas.
