There's a reason why wheelbase distances have increased, height decreased, weight distribution balanced, width increased, body panels changed, etc... Because the old way literally worked against physics. Sorry, I see more potential in the newer
I wonder how many people have even driven a "classic muscle car" with "modern suspension upgrades" as i did with my 69 Charger. You can't beat geometry. You can't beat physics. Height, weight, aerodynamics, proportions, dimensions- Its all wrong.
I definitely don't see a turbo under the hood of the 69. Rear mount maybe?
Abraham, it's true that modern cars have those very nice conveniences. But I'll tell ya, nothing like driving a 600+hp car down the road on weekends listening to that lumpy cam the whole way, Knowing the presence that the car has as well. Lots of Fun
Ugggg terrible analogy Tin. Lol Even if the "mature" girl was in better shape, a younger girl can get "in shape" and be 10x hotter. And handling? What you only drive straight, full blast at 1/4 mph speeds? Where u live lol
@Tom, god bless you for even thinking of messing with a Viper motor! I sure wouldn't. Call me old school but My Nova (or other similar cars) are the only ones I'll work on. Fun not having to deal with electronics too.
Yeah but the newer car has better efficacy, aerodynamics, and probably easier to drive.
@ Abraham, what's so hard about this decision? It's like choosing a wife. I'd rather have a mature who is in great shape than a younger one who is overweight.
Agreed with Tim. Older cars are much easier to work on. Good luck resolving check engine light on newer cars.
I'd take the '69. Way better looking and fast. Who cares about handling. Muscle cars were not created to handle the road course. 1/4 mile is all that matters.
That 69 is so vicious. Great comparo. Cant wait to get home and turn on Forza4
As hell during the whole project. Learned a lot of dos and do nots but none the less it's just not that simple anymore.
Tim you are absolutely correct in my eyes. Being able to work on your own car is half the enjoyment of owning it. I have a 85 ram and working on the engine is a piece of cake. Last year I took apart the top end if my 03 viper and I was nervous
Really like both these cars, very impressive, but lets be honest, its about the same as taking two corevettes and smashin the fronts and then seein which is faster
This just goes to show that an independent rear axle is not the end all in performance
I also love to see the look on the face of someone when my 40 year old car blows his doors off
I would take the '69 Camaro. Wouldn't even be a hard choice for me. I'm into the old muscle cars much more then new ones. They sound better, look better (IMO) and are MUCH easier to work on.
I like both alot. It would be really hard to choose, but I might take the red devil at this point because there are so many new Camaros around. Plus I like the sound and appeal of the red devil. Draws more attention and requires more.
Magnet independent rear suspension didn't help the ZL1 this time huh (who says power is nothing without control ha ha ha)
The ZL1 is nice but 1969 was a very good year, ill take the RED DEVIL all day!
Description: The ZL1 also has Chevy's impressive magnetic ride setup. The two were pitted against each other at GingerMan Raceway in South Haven, Michigan. They ran close times, however Stielow's incred...

I would take either, however, if i was goven the zl1 id sell it and build something similar ti that 69, but maybe with a 70 Chevelle
I knew it wasn't going to be long before a Camaro fanboy mention a Mustang GT5, smh!
I would take a mustang over a camaro any day. However, the '69 camaro is the only camaro I would have in my garage.
id perfer the zl1 over the gt500 almost any day but i love the 69 the most so id most likley take the red devil
The red devil chassis and bosy with the hunter camaro's paint job= a shitload of wet pants
@cpeacock, if you bother to watch the video you would know witch one had the faster time; the RED DEVIL!
I dont love the rims on the 69, but it still looks nicer than the new one.
Twincharged engines are smart. though I would imagine prone to reliability issues
Some Nissan or some other JDM car had it in the 90's. They have one on mighty car mods but I forget what it is
That Zenvo supercar is dual charged
Yeah Abraham there is a lotus a guy built that is duel charged. Insanely fast. I havnt seen too many duel charged cars though. I think you can find it on YouTube. Matt Farah drive it.
It is possible to both turbo&Supercharge a car. I remember Volkswagen wanted to do it.
And a turbo. Ridiculous
That sounds like the ultimate. The LS7 with the LS9's supercharger
So its twin-charged?
Wow it's got the zr1 supercharger and a eaton.;…. :) lol
