What technology did the rest of it have? ****, it didnt have AC, radio, power seats, windows...were front disk brakes even stardard on a $8,300 car?
I thought I was being pretty consistent about only concerning myself with the engine. That is my point. I wish they had done something more off the wall under the hood, like the original. I am fully aware that the wrapper for the ZL1 cars back in 1969 was a stripped down L78 car. I am also aware that that is not where GM wanted to stop with the car, which is a lesser known fact.
