Way cool article, and a fast car no doubt, but doesn't 12.00 @ 115 fall pretty far short of the 11.50/120 garuntee?

I think that guarantee applied to the Phase III cars and above.

Dave:
If I remember correctly, the money-back performance warranty was offered first in 1968 on Phase III 427 Camaros and then extended to Nova and Chevelle models. I don't recall the Phase III Corvette being included unless it was a track-prepared car.
I drove and photographed the Corvette in the article that Joe Oldham wrote and it was a pretty normal street model.

So the "normal" motion model ran very low 12s at 115. Nice [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
