But that's just it - the 1969 ZL1 really wasn't a muscle car. It was a purpose built race car and an expensive one at that. Plus you had to add tube headers and run with no exhaust system for the car to reach it's optimum performance level. Run it on the street as delivered from the factory - be prepared to lose a lot of street races. And it was made in a very limited quantity. Cars like the L78s, LS6s, A12s, Hemi cars etc were made by the thousands and almost anyone could afford one let alone walk into a dealership and buy one.

If you include the ZL1 Camaros then you have to include the 1965 A990 Race Hemi Chryslers that would beat any muscle car INCLUDING the ZL1s
