False. The Baldwin-Motion Camaro was 550hp to the Yenko's 425ish. Baldwin Motion had a guarantee the car would hit 11 second quarter miles right off the showroom floor. And it did. And you could also get them faster if you wanted.
@Curveball 425ish was the rating. with the available header option and carb tune they were hitting 585 hp. fastest time ive heard from a yenko is 11.7. the 69 camaro with the same zl1 engine was hitting 10.9
The Baldwin Motion had more HP than the Yenko, and had a dual carb setup. No wat was a Yekno more powerful, and B-M would make the car as fast as you wanted it. The 11 second guarantee was for their base, it wasn't their fastest car.
my buddy at work had a `69 COPO. he sold it for a song last year
