 In looking back, one of the items standard on the Z16 were the Impala's big brake drums. If you're going to make a muscle car go fast, you also need to make it stop quickly too. Unfortunately I believe the bean counters saw a way to save money and all newer mid-sized GM muscle cars would get smaller 9.5" drum brakes.

 If you see Dragonflies on your property, don't chase them away. First, they can't hurt you and second, they love to eat mosquitoes.

I read somewhere by one of the Z-16 authority's,that although similar,the Z-16 did NOT use the 1965 Chevelle Convertibles' exact boxed frame.It did resemble it though.Also the Brakes were NOT Impala 11" brakes,but similar as well.
Both were unique to the Z-16 Chevelle.

Why would Chevrolet use one-off items like a frame and brakes as opposed to using existing items like the Chevelle convertible boxed frame and the Impala 11" brakes? Production was always going to be 200 cars. All the Chevy notes:
