In this video, we compare a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS/RS with the L78 396 big-block V-8 to a 1969 Camaro Z/28 powered by a solid-lifter 302 V-8.
At first glance, they look very similar: They’re the same color, same generation, and are powered by high-performance V-8s. But once you get into what each car was built to do, the differences become pretty clear. The car above is a big-block street bruiser with hidden headlights and Super Sport attitude.
