Well a restoration company I know of makes emblems for the front fender-SS 427. Whether they are original or not I don't know.

The dealer cars, Yenko, Baldwin, etc., most certainly had 427's...

BlkCamaroSS , um we are on the same page right ? thats what i said in the first place .

but im going to say that i was wrong about chevey never having a factory 427 car other that the VETTE , i totaly for got about the 427 BISCAYNE and the 66-67 CHEVELLEs . but im stilll sticking to my guns that they NEVER put a 427 in a CAMARO . UNLESS it was a COPO or special dealer install . IE: YENKO , NICKEY ect .

What are you talking about? The 60s muscle cars were very slow off the line in stock form. Not even the GT500 could smoke the US Evo much less the J-spec RS. Look it up for yourself, don't just jump into an argument without knowing what you are talking about. Quit quoting estamated proformance specs and look at the real numbers. The SS looses any way you look at it.

Jared, you're allowed to have the last word, but everyone here knows that it's wrong.

"Know" what you like but the truth is on my side and it is not subject to your oppion. Besides I looked up the "11 second" Yenko Camaro with a 427. Motor Trend said that it did the 1/4 mile in 13.8! On modern tires! So much for your 11 second car. Where do you get your numbers from?

What are you smoking kid? You think an EVO is going to be faster off the line with it's turbo 2.0L compared to a N/A 7L? Not to mention the Yenko has 425 HP/460 F/P's VS 271/2??. HELLO? Here is the link where he got his info from, you must not have been paying attention

Re: Lets slay some ricers!

Let's see this link in Motor Trend, Jared. Oh wait, it's another mystic link that you can never prove. I can post links all day long verifying the authenticity of a 1st Gen Yenko doing 11's. If that mystic link has anything to do with the 2F2F Yenko, that everyone and their mother knows is a fake, I'm gonna laugh my ass off...

Now if I could only have a video to this race at the end to prove my point (a 67 Yenko and a 69 Yenko)...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I saw that article in Sport Compact Car where they tested the cars from the fast and the furious. The "Yenko" was a clone, not a real yenko and ran 13.7. It was the fastest of the group. The Evo ran a sorry 15.3. My 86 Turbo Volvo runs 15.6. So much for your supercar.

Now I will give the benefit of the doubt that the Evo was out of tune, but so was the Camaro. Besides the fact that the Camaro is 35 years old and running stock heads, etc. The production tolerances back then were terrible and the cars lost their tune quickly. You have to be really smart and persistant to tune a completely mechanical car. Modern parts are available so all you have to do is add a little technology and you gain back the efficiency that was missing from the factory.

The writers at SCC admitted that they loved the Camaro. They pointed out that it didn't corner or stop well but it was still a blast to drive, and as long as you have fun thats all that matters.

Re: Lets slay some ricers!

I dont really care about the american vs Imports. but i got to tell u this as far as looks go the american cars got to go they are to round and to big. oh and about the technology in the new cars if they can get a 2.0L car to do high 13s, what the hell is up with the 7.0L running low 13s. if the imports came with the 7.0L size engine i wonder what they would do at 1/4 with all the technology.

I did not get this off the net so I have no site to give you try reading the real magazine.
I have been looking all over the web for the fastest stock 1/4 mile out of a Yenko, and the fastest that I have seen so far is 12.80 which I admit is a 1/4 second faster than the Evo, but will it be faster then the forthcoming Evo RS I doubt it. Even though the Yenko is a touch faster I would not trade a 1/4 second for the handeling and breaking of the Evo, and only a drag fanatic would. (not that there is anything wrong with being a drag fanatic.)
