Soory about some of the quality - I get my stuff from lots of different sources that while generous are not all gifted with the best hardware and software. :blueangel:

I guess there are no C3 BB fans in here?
I have always felt that only one other marque would ever stand a chance of pulling me away from my C2.....and that's a real mid-sixties AC Cobra with 427-425HP. Not a kit car....but the real thing. Approximately the same horsepower as the L-72, L-71, L-71/L-89, but around 700-800 lbs LIGHTER. And, you're sitting low in that beautiful low-sided roadster. Hmmmmmmmm.......maybe even a kit (but has to be a big block...no 289's)
Sweet ride.

I'd opt for the Vette... go figure, huh?

Yeah right, I'm sure there's lots of guys that took their 427s out and replaced them with small block chevys. :rolleyes:

Great Article. Thanks for posting. I guess the part about this being the last front engine Corvette were a little off the mark. Anyway, I enjoyed reading how the Corvette outperformed the European sports cars of the time.
