20. 1968 Camaro Z/28
Although the 1967 Z/28 wasn’t the most powerful Camaro on offer, it was the best choice in handling, braking, and overall driving dynamics. If the SS 350 and SS 396 were pure muscle cars with big engines and loads of tire smoke, the Z/28 was the driver’s machine and a road racing model which could handle most challenges (via Hemmings).

The Z/28 package included front disc brakes, close-ratio four-speed manual transmission, a revised suspension and steering, exterior trim details like racing stripes, vinyl roof, and headlight covers. Still, the real treat was under the hood. The power came from a 5.0-liter V8 with 290 HP. This engine proved to be ideal for the Z/28 and gave the car thrilling performance while retaining low weight and agile handling. The Mustang didn’t have such a version so this Z/28 was a pretty unique offering.
