305, pathetic what GM 'performance' had become by the mid-70s, early 80s. At least it looked cool.

Good looking car. I still have my bought new 1978 Z28 in the same color, Carmine Metallic. I still think the 2nd gen Camaros are the best looking, best styled Camaros ever. I still remember an article Car and Driver did back in 1978 comparing the Corvette, Trans-Am, and Z28. The testers were unanimous that the Z28 handled the best.

i can assure you that was a biased written article. the Z28 didnt hold a candle to the WS6 trans am.

no doubt, that Pontiac 400 would walk all over a late 70s Z28. Corvette too.

Here in Canada, 81’s still got a 350 w/ 4-Speed unlike the 305 4-Spd. US cars.
We’ve looked at a few in past threads, they’re still out there but often rusty.
