    I had a Ttop '78 Z28 in high school 1983-84 & the 1st thing I did was put true duals on it, mild cam, MSD ignition, 8.5mm spark plug wires & ripped off anything smog related & that really woke that 350 up ✌💖☮

    As a Vette owning, tire smoking, boomer (who embarrassingly danced to disco in the day) I found your comments……hilarious! The Z is running about like they did back then with a few strategic tweaks. Of course, in the end, there’s no substitute for cubic inches. Thanks for the great racing and hilarity. ~ Chuck 🌮🌮

      I was a total disco rat, and in Los Angeles no less. While my stoner buds sat around being Beavises and Buttheads, and chanting "Death to Disco", I was where the hot horny chicks were: The Disco. NOW Charles, I'll bet that at your age, you are still more coordinated and balanced than most people half or a third of your age. I certainly am, much the surprise of many, and I credit it to years and years on the dance floor. Get your groove on. Don't be embarrassed.

    For a second, I thought it'd be a 1967 Corvette L88 drag racing that '78 Camaro.
    The '67 L88 Corvette is the coolest C2 Corvette ever in my opinion. And I'm certainly not alone. That monster made 560 HP, compared to its severe 430 HP rating. And they're so expensive even C&Z's girlfriend's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate can't buy that thing.
    (I hope you like that Spaceballs reference, everyone)

    • @livewire2759
      @livewire2759 Рік тому +3

      I was thinking '67 L88 as well, but I don't think they came with a warranty... or at least not 12 months. Either way, the only true "holy grail" Corvette from the classic era would be the 1970 LS7. Supposedly there was ONE built (tested by motor trend if I remember right) and it was later modified, then destroyed.
      The Spaceballs reference was great though... and no, sir, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again.

    Another fun video with your wonderfully heathen humor. The race was a lot closer than it should have been. The 'vette was loud and it ran a fair amount slower than it should have been running with that engine, gearing and transmission in PSMCDR. Oddly enough the side exhausts for those gen 2 corvettes made a lot of noise, but were pretty bad for power based on a few chassis dyno runs I have seen. The Camaro was well prepared for the class, and it ran what you could expect for a properly tuned 350 within the rules.

    The '65 396 is considered the "holy grail"? That's ridiculous. Even though the 396 wasn't even available until March of '65, they built nearly 3 times more of them than fuelie's in '65. Being that '65 was the first year for disc brakes and the last year for the fuelie, I'd say that's closer to being a "holy grail" than the 396 cars. For anyone who's interested, the true "holy grail" Corvette would have to be the 1970 LS7. Most sources say that none were ever built, but supposedly only one was built for testing by magazines like Motor Trend. Second to that would have to be the '69 ZL1, which according to assembly plant statistics, only two were built, though it's possible that a third might exist. Then there are the 5 Grand Sport Corvettes, built in '63... the 20 '67 L88s... the 80 '68 L88s... the 116 '69 L88s... all more rare than the 771 '65 L84 fuelies, and FAR more rare than the 2,157 '65 396s.
    So, can I get the "top comment" award for the best rant?
