Re: First Gen. . .Z/28 Big Tank

The Penske/Donohue team were known for packing dry ice around the trunk mounted fuel cell and filler neck. This chilled the fuel, reduced it's volume slightly and allowed them to add a bit more gas for longer runs.

Pretty ingenious at the time!

However, I've never seen a factory Camaro 'big tank' offered as a RPO to the public.
