Then how about a 1967 COPO Pace Car. The special paint must have reduced the wind resistance/drag, thus enhancing performance.

Too bad GM didn't understand how lucrative the "replica" market was back in 1967 maybe they would have built more? I guess the concept of offering something novel and unique caught on in later years

SUPERCAR has an interesting definition, the ZL1 Camaro of which 69 were ordered through COPO which was not easily available to public is a SUPERCAR BUT the ZL1 Corvette which were easily available, ordered through RPO available to general public of which only 2 were made is not a SUPERCAR. I understand completely, I think.

ZL1 corvette = Supercar in my book!

Probably just retired from service last month. When you say Sissy sells shakes, does it sound like you're whistling??
