Default Re: Yenko Deuce Timeslip

We've been down this road several times. The conclusion is simple; the Yenko Deuce is a SuperCar because it has a hi-performance COPO vs. an RPO.

The '68 L78/TH400 COPO combo became an RPO the following year, the '69 COPO combo's were available as an RPO on other models (Impala for eg, as was the '70 COPO Nova combo. So, combine the Hi-Perf. COPO with the limited production on certain models = a SuperCar. The LS6 Chevelle is usually the discussion model, and it's powerplant is certainly impressive, but it's an RPO not a COPO so it's outside the general definition.

The 1/4 mile times have nothing to do with the classification, and guys like me and Frankie should not be used as the barometer of the combination's potential.
