&quot;Muscle car&quot; might be debatable, but it did go 14.90's on it's first outing, and has been 12.25 with the original engine, so I'll include it here:

Hill climb in Empire, Michigan.

The Z belonged to Fred Meissinger, who was a GM/Chevrolet executive. He retired as the Plant Manager for the Adrian manufacturing plant.

The Corvette belonged to Denny Hall, also a GM exec. Denny was head of CPC Advanced Manufacturing engineering when he retired.
