“Super Hugger” Takes to the Streets
After the success of 1967 through ’69 Camaro’s, Chevrolet created effectively an all-new car in 1970. One that was more drivable and had a much better engine: the LT1 350 cubic inch compared to the previous year’s 302. In fact, the LT1 in the Z28 came from the Corvette and was a stout performer.
The re-designed front-end and fastback shape was the source of a lot of controversy. But it is generally regarded one of the most beautiful designs to come out of GM.

Mega G+ Chassis
This new Mega G+ chassis doesn’t just go faster or handle better than the competition. And it doesn’t just have the ultra-low, narrow dimensions of the original Mega G to continue the reign of the most realistic HO cars on earth. It’s smoother, more consistent, and more intuitive than any car we’ve ever built.
We wanted wheel to wheel racing, lap after lap, the feel of driving a real car. But we couldn’t do it by just changing the chassis. We had to create a whole new system…
