Well, I'm not so sure a '69 Z28 could totally whoop on a '71 Z28. Especially from a dig, I think the '71 has the advantage from a stop cause it's got the 350. But top end pull, i'll admit the '69 Z28 would probably walk on by.
But I can almost guarantee that the '71 Z28 would be quicker through the lights of the 1320ft sprint than the '69 Z28. The '69s were hard to launch cause of the 302's high power band. It's very similar to the Honda S2000 below 4000rpm they act like slugs from a stop. Reason why you don't see many 1st gen Z28s cause people thought there were slow due to the fact they couldn't launch them right.
The Mustangs had the same problem, on paper they looked pretty impressive but on the street they're dependance of high revs made them difficult to launch.
