Re: 69 vs 70 Z's
Yea you are right It is real tough not to take it out "Hit It" as we used to call it.
The shifter no doubt helped keep me out of the scatter zone too, but now that I think of it I was not one to risk it powershifting all the time. Fun - but the fun can be over real quick if you miss.  Now Hassett Has some powershifting stories I am sure he can tell on the 302. As I recall Mark Dusted a Big block Chevelle with the 302 not too long ago and keeping the 302 revved up was the key!

Re: 69 vs 70 Z's
Phil, When I had my first (bought new) 70 Z it had the M-40/T-400 "on the tree". I understand not as much FUN as shifting the 4 speeds........but I used to let it shift itself out of low at ??? rpm and then manually shift in to drive at ?? rpm....I cant remember (shxx) on details, but I ultimately got this Z-28 with stock long block, stock trans and convertor into high 12's.........(Headers,recurved dist, recalibrated stock 4555, Line Lock, small slicks) <font color="brown"> </font> <font color="brown"> </font>

Re: 69 vs 70 Z's
Chuck,
Yea, Car Craft did that too back in '70. They got the '70 Z test car in to the high 12's too - then broke the driveshaft!  Phil
