[ QUOTE ]
Lynn, interesting recap of the mid-to-late 70's performance situation. I believe the car you are omitting is the Trans Am, which was really the only car at that point beyond the 'Vette that flew the performance banner for GM. [/ QUOTE ] I think you are correct. 1976 there was no Z, but the Trans Am (such as it was, unable to out run a 454 Chev. pick up) at least made a stab at performance. Hard to believe the cars were that anemic. Have to go check out my old mags, but am pretty sure I don't have that one. I was thinking it was Road and Track, but given the state of my memory, guess it could have been Car & Driver or even Motor Trend. Almost certain the year was 1976.
