Ram Air IV versus 455 HO

[supergonzo]

"Those dern Camaros always seemed to be lighter" Actually my own 69' Yenko clone weighs 3600 lbs, weighed it 4X times.
But I think its a little heavy for some reason.

I have to admit my 69' firebird has a fiberglass hood, 4spd, aluminum radiator,manual brakes. I would say 3520lbs would be more accurate for a typical model. Your right the earlier years are lighter.

I am certain the 68-69 goats all weigh close to 3700 lbs, I have 4 of them now, and have owned about 20 others. The 64-67 goats all weigh close to 3600lbs, depending upon options.
I was actually surprised the Firebird / Camaro's weighed that much.
---------------------------------
If Pontiac would have made a high compression 455HO in 1970 instead of a low compression motor in 1971.They would rank right up there with LS6's and Buick 455 Stage 1's as one of the baddest of all times. As it is in todays world , where most people build for near 10 to 1 compression for pump gas, they are very tough street machines to beat,as now the field has been equalized.
