Idk how many 396 SS's there were.

So in other words if you wanted the camaro with the baddest engine in it then you had to buy a SS right? Interesting...

Looks like the baddest production motor back in the 1st gens was the L78 396 with the aluminum heads.. 375hp and 415 ftlbs

The 350 in the SS was also rated at 300 hp in 1969 compared to the 302 in the Z28 which was rated at 290.. Now numbers dont mean everything but comparing motor to motor it seems as though the SS had more power then the Z28's But the Z28's, just like in the 4th gen years were the lighter, not as many optioned as the SS's were. Unlike the 4th gen years the SS and the Z28 had different motors all together. But if you wanted a factory big block back in the 60's then you had to get a SS so it seems it was more then just an apperance option..

So now with this new Z28 coming out they seemed to completly turn the table with it. It has the baddest motor in it and will probably have just as many options as a SS..
