Default Re: Yenko/ZL1

Road racing ZL1s, a topic close to my heart. I think Yenko won Sebring in that Camaro (was faster than the L-88 vettes ) and I think on a previous thread someone stated they believed it was a Z28 transplant.

Now the only real ZL1 that saw road racing action, to my knowledge is Janes ZL1.
Now I know a lot of Americans think that because it was in Australia it must be second rate level of Competition but consider:-
The number one opponent for Jane was Moffat any ex Ford US driver, who ran one of the 7 special built racing Boss 302's (pretty well pure race cars front guards had been altered for aerodynamics, etc. )
a couple of full house LT1 powered Monaros on webbers and some awesome 351 Cleveland Falcons, webbers etc.
These Falcons are different to the US stones (cruel I know ) as they ran 160+ mph with their stock Hollies, on road circuits,and could brake and handle. Weighed around 3300lbs.

But Janes car, to my knowledge, is THE only road race ZL1. Would love to be corrected, honestly. More info around the better.
