I told Bruce I was sure one could "have" a cowl hood with that combo, but I'd research it. Turns out, not so much. The cowl hood (ZL2 option) was AVAILABLE on the Z/28 and SS models, and came included on the COPO and Pace Car. Well, you could not get the LM1 255/350 in any of those, so therefore, you could not pair a 255 with a cowl hood. Period. 300/350, yes, in both an SS and a Pace Car.

So, right is right, wrong is wrong, and the facts are the facts...

I am familiar with that hood and a bit ignorant of its importance.

What does it give one car over another?
