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.
