For starters, I'd like to point out that the Camaro, Chevelle and Corvette weren't exactly the body type for Nascar back in the 60's and 70's.....but were still the more powerful/faster car as opposed to what was raced on the track.

That said, Nascar was totally dominated by Mopar based vehicles for a good stretch of time.

You also cant compare stuff that's built for a track such as the NHRA....we're talking stuff that was a production class quality car....so you can eliminate the ZL1.

You also have to take into account body styles and weight. The Camaro especially was never intended for anything more really then a 2 dr sports coupe. Some of these Mopar/Chevy cars were indeed offered as 2 and 4 doors....as well as were built on a larger frame to accomodate more people.

Oh and one last note, the Yenko was predominantly a 427 V8, not the 454. Yes, there were some that got it, but I dont believe it would have constituted enough to qualify as a production car.....
