Trust me, You&quot;ll never catch a COPO Chevelle with an L89 Chevelle. Two different animals.

I am a huge fan of both. But, if someone said you had to pick one..... I would choose a COPO Chevelle all day.

.......or an L72 Camaro either

Solid argument.

Not a decision I need to make personally in the near future. L89 vs Copo.

Hey Albert,

I hear a Challenge up for a COPO Chevelle vs. an L89 Chevelle, who`s up for a drag race at SCR16?

Albert has raced his COPO many a times, my money`s on the COPO.

I bet you one bag full of bias ply tire smoke that the L89 wins.

a poorly tuned, poorly driven COPO Chevelle with a poorly set up chassis could be beaten handily by an L89 equipped 396. IMO, all things equal, the one that passes more air (427) wins the race. should be close though (2/10s [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img])

Was trying to figure out which car to bring to SCR16, My 69 L89 or the the 68 Z.... Hmmm Sounds like a Gauntlet has been thrown down..I don't own a car thats poorly tuned or not frequently abused! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img] Can I get in on this action?
