Agreed. Monogomy is completely unnatural, but we definitely have the ability to resist our predispositions
Where is the fun in that ? J/K
That is why is so good to be human.
Is this topic of conversation going anywhere? 
Yellow car?????? Here, have a banana instead 
Hey, That car looks familiar Premier 
You wouldn't want me to give it to ya PreMier....It would only bring you many speeding tickets
68 Camaro, with a vinyl top. When GM put those out, little did they know that the adhesive used would eat through paint and cause rust, good job General! The ultimate Camaro was the 1969 ZL1, which hardly sold for beans due to the massive expense. They ended up getting sold at steep discounts, there were only 2 of the 69 ZL1 Corvettes made and I believe they ran 10 grand, about the price of a Ferrari at the time.
With no internal mods or cam swaps (carb jetting changes yes), 2 1/8" primary headers, and I forget what else, the ZL1 went from 375 HP to 525. They were rated much higher than reality because manufacturers used to remove things like water pumps from the cars when dyno testing, giving a completely unrealistic number. They would also use race headers frequently in a near open exaust format.
The ZL1 was a 427 aluminum block, the Don Yenko cars were iron block 427s swapped out from the 396 cars. There were two other special COPO dealers that escape my brain.

If I were sharper I could have said alot more, but Camaros are my car dé choice. When I was younger my two favorite cars were first gen Camaros and the Countach, of the two the only one that still gets my appreciation is the Camaro. The Countach was neat for its day, but if you listen to anyone who has driven one, they are a bit discusting to even think about driving.
I used to have an entire wall covered with nothing but pictures of first gen cars, including a ZL1 with a dual carb, tunnel ram intake setup, fat meats out back, very mean looking.
One of the other Copo variations of the 427 Camaro, was blue with a white hockey stripe by default, and the dealership starts with a B I believe, just can't place it. Don Yenko was the most well known though.
Muscle cars though, last forever. Its not a techy kind of car like a Countach was. One person who I like (sense of humor wise) describes it as "driving a washing machine, only the visibility is worse." Since it lasted for ~25 years though, there were many variations of the Countach, both by weight and power output. The accelleration stayed pretty much the same, since part of that is decided with weight, but the increased HP helped top end and weight does not effect that as much. Top end is the land of aero work and HP, along with aero goes the lack of friction.

Actually Mudge, they didn't do to badly. The vinyl top you see in my photo is the original 68 top (36 years old). Sure there is now visible rust bumps popping through in some places, but after 36 years old it is expected. The top will soon be undergoing removal, the rust will ground and treated with some rust converter, primed, sealed, repainted, and new top installed.
I do agree that 69 was the best year. You could find many of the top Muscle cars manufactured in 69. I loved the SS model with Folding headlights, was awsome.

Back on the subject My friend came over the other day and is generally not motivated to do anything but smoke up and live with his parents. I was in the middle of drinking some protein and he started talking about lifting and asking me how much I bench. I told him what I workout with as I don't know my max and he was like I can do more than that. But I think he was comparing my workout weight with his max. I was kind of mad at myself for not gaining more than I had but then I remembered he works out with a blowflex. I know I can bench more than him now

I'm actually more a 67/8 guy, but 69 was the most popular, causing it to even drag into 1970. Its a shame it only lasted those 3 years though, the first gen was the best Camaro ever. 70-73 I can stand, but after that the 2nd gens just go to crap IMO, too damn big, and not really all that attractive to me.
way to stay on the subject...

Oh please, those engines sucked and you know it. 69 Vette would rock the house.
Any engine 74-91 GM wise is pretty much a torquer or makes no power at all. The LT1 was the first decent small block since 73, and the earlier EFI engines just plain sucked. The L98 was OK, but forget top end, the intake runners are completely too long.
