Thread title:
"Production" means built on the FACTORY assembly line. That would eliminate ALL dealer & hot-rod shop specials like the GMMGs, Nickeys, Lingenfelters, etc. That leaves the '69 ZL1 COPO Camaro as the undisputed, most powerful "production" F-body.

At the heart of a laundry list of updated ZL1 modifications is the powerplant: an 8.4-liter aluminum-block pushrod V8 making a foot-stomping 770 horsepower at 6900 rpm and a raucous 683 lb.-ft of torque at 5200 rpm. Transfer of power comes via a five-speed manual transmission and a three-disc hydraulic clutch setup. The myriad performance add-ons includes everything from a Hamburger Hi-Torque starter and a Crower forged steel crankshaft with 4.5-inch stroke, to a Dart intake manifold reworked for fuel injection with a K&N air filter and Exhaust Tech dual 3.5-inch inlet and outlet mufflers. And that’s only scratching the surface. There is also a host of GM OEM parts off of the various F-bodies of the past few years.

Based on production and 4th gen cars that came with a factory warranty, I say the 02 Hawk! The Zl1 camaro was a rare gem with only 69 ever being ordered, and 41 surviving, and they were the fastest all around!
