Default Re: 1970 SS CHEVELLE LS5 CONVERT

A gentleman named Daniel Carr created a poster with accurate statistical extrapolation to determine an estimate of each model with each engine, but it's not cast in stone - for example, there were more LS6s made than LS5s, so his extrapolation would suggest that there were more LS6 ragtops than LS5 ragtops, and I don't think the reality to be true. While I salute him in this endeavor, I do feel people have misunderstood the "guesstimation" of the numbers and have used them as if they were factual.

Another guestimate method is using a known Canadian production figure multiplied by 10 (being Canada's always running an approximate 10% of US population).
Using this method can only be a guide, there's certainly exceptions and it's never going to be an accurate # either way but in cases where Canadian and US #'s are both known the 10% thing has often shown to be close..

PS - this method doesn't work on Cuda's...we got way more than our share for some reason?.
