Default Favorite Chevrolet.

Ugh, this is the hardest one yet for me. If I had to pick only one I think it would be a 1969 ZL1 Camaro COPO 9560AA

Do you know what COPO 9560 stands for??

Unfortunately I'm not a fan of the first Gen Camaros......but the Second Gen was a great car. If I had to pick ONE Chevy that was NOT a Vette it would be.................... A...........19.............70.............Z28. The other would be a 1963 SS Impala.

64 Chevy Cheetah. GM's answer to the Shelby Cobra. No driveshaft, trans toke connects to the diff yoke. One of the only two front-mid engine cars in the world.

You know that the C2 and C3 are technically a mid engine vehicle.

Never heard that. I read that the 3rd gen RX7 and the Cheetah were the only two. Any others?

Makes sense though. A C3 is what, 49/51? So it really wouldn't make sense to move the engine any further back. And I personally like the look of my car better than the Cheetah, but those things are so rare and strange looking they take the cake.

If were talking about a GM product that you can realistically find and buy, I'd have to go with a Z06/ ZR1/ GS. Need those flares. I really like the Mallet versions especially the supercharged widebody C5s, and I like the C6s although I feel like they put less effort into them. Jay Leno's C6RS rules all.




Definitely one of the coolest cars I've ever seen.

Cool car. I'm surprised nobody has said the new ZR1 Vette yet...

Glenn is correct. The definition is that the front of the engine is behind the front axle that's all. The Cheetah and Shelby were just "more" front mid. I think some guy in Texas is making Cheetahs now. Saw one at the OC Auto Show.

56 or 57 Chevy Bel Air. Not really a fast sports car but I always like them. They can be made fast though.

My neighbor has that car with 4.56 gears, my motor exactly minus the blower but higher compression and a T56 too. Hauls ass. He can take a C6 with it if he hooks, and yes he has big steam rollers.
