When it came to the 302 engine, the Z/28 was not without its detractors. The complaints didn’t stem from the engine’s innate ability to wind to high rpm. Instead, questions arose about the 302’s merits as a street performance engine. Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus Duntov called the 302 “an artificial engine built to meet an artificial class limit."
