I know but I will not tell! Let the new C3 Corvette owners guess! My attempts at trivia were designed to provide an educational process. Thanks for getting the question up. Much appreciated! I hope other members will do so also.

What was the stall speed of both the L48 ( 350 ) and the L82 ( 400 ) in 77 converters. What was the stall ratio of both those converters. What is the angle of the V on the fan and gen belts? What is the water pump to engine RPM ratio. How much extra does B32 floor mats weigh? These should be trivia.

Re: No C3 Trivia This Evening...But (L48Shark)
your taking all the fun out of this! actually, i've heard the main reason that production of convertibles ceased was because of seemingly emminent federally mandated rollover protection laws. notice there were NO American made convertibles from the mid '70s until the mid '80s?
correct on the 80-81 question, the only other dead givaway is if you see a late shark with l-82 badges.
right on the '68-'69 question.
there is at least one pre-production corvette emblem with the American flag on it, many of us have seen it. where is it?
the 'god-father' of the corvette, zora duntov retired in what year?
who took over the position of chief engineer when he retired?
what other company did zora duntov work/race with even while he worked with the corvette program?
what was the designation for the cross-fire fuel injection engine in the '82 vette?
what three size (displacement-wise) SBC engines were factory installed during the shark production run?
when were aluminum wheels first offered for the shark?
L48shark, your denied! let some others play. ;)

answer: 1975. Im still pissed that they put such a low h.p (L-48) in the legendary Stingray in the year he retired. Obviously, he was a Stingray Racer and Chevrolet should have payed omige to that for his retirement year. Oh well just my own :bs talking.
:cool: tirvia.

How many '78 Vettes came with the 25th anniversary badges?
How many '82 Vettes came with an Automatic tranny?
(Note I put those 2 questions together... ;)
What was the only year you could purchase a Shark with factory side exhaust?
What was supposed to be an option on '77 Vettes, but did not pan out and why?

I have to disagree with you on the convertible question. The 1975 was the last year because sales had fallen to 12% of total production. And the bean-counters stepped in.
