Most American cars at that time were good in a straight line, just don't make any quick turns. Most have leaf springs. The Z28 was not stock, had some suspension mods done and still spun out. Of course there were the drivers of both cars and their ability to take into consideration. The video made an attempt to say, you can go faster in a Z28 at a fraction of the price of a 928. That was my impression anyway.
