You may be right (about the younger generation), but that hasn't been the reaction I've noticed at car shows I've attended. It's the younger crowd that spies the Z - the LT5 in particular and reacts with excitement (and stopping to take pictures and call friends over to see it).

The new breed of car nuts seem to be much better versed on DOHC and electronic FI than the older muscle car crowd. At least that's been my impression.

Just a suggestion, but it may help if we post comments on this article to show the activity and interest level the LT-5 has for people who will read this article.
I went ahead and commented.

Good idea, just posted minutes ago......

Have to agree w Paul. The oldies walk around the car, look at the motor and just walk away sometimes shaking their heads. They don't get it. There's no carburetor or distributor.
