Default Re: The most "significant" Chevrolet performance c

[ QUOTE ]
My vote is for the L88/ZL1 Corvettes. One RPO number assured you of a complete factory-built race car, an entire PACKAGE of mandatory components and unavailable items designed for and tested on the proving grounds of the world’s greatest racing circuits, Le Mans, Sebring, and Daytona.

L88/ZL1 Corvette… not simply Chevrolet’s pinnacled race gas-only fueled 560HP+ engine sitting in America’s great sports car; a top-of-the-line racing machine.

No other car mentioned in this poll could outperform these giants… in speed, handling, braking… PERFORMANCE and made available to the buying public.

That’s SIGNIFICANT.


[/ QUOTE ] I have to agree, the white /blue 67 L88 conv. that raced at LeMans, Daytona, Sebring is my persoanl favorite. It still retains its original motor too. Anyone who is in the Chicago area during the last weekend of June should stop by the Bloomington Gold show to check out the L88 invasion. I am told that there will be 60 cars in attendance. I will be there with my red 69, stop by and say hello.
