Cover: The twin turbo engine in Andy Granatelli's Z28 glows like molten ore on the chassis dyno. How did he manage a smile when the compartment was a virtual blast furnace of searing heat? He just remembered rocketing a cool 220 mph across Mud Lake, Nevada, in this potent Camaro commuter. Photo by Bob D'Olivo.
