Quote: Sorry for the delay in replying - I'll clarify....
If you follow the link and scroll down to the race videos, virtually EVERY Mopar vs Cheb race has the Mopar getting whupped.
Is the GM aftermarket stuff that much better? OR are the Mopars just not being prepped like they should be?
Either way...if you read the comments on some of the vids...the GM boys are happily re-writing history....
Aren't the L-88 engines aluminum? it's more than just making power, it's also weight transfer, and getting it to the ground. A corvette (light to begin w/) w/ an all aluminum motor and a car that has a better weight transfer+better suspenion is going to = a faster et. That car isn't or should it be in the same class as a "muscle car" It's a sports car. Just a thought. How would that engine run a a big heavy Impalla?
I have a friend that is an active pure stock racer (He runs Mercurys). We've had the discussion before with the L88 Vettes being legal. I contend they're a ringer due to weight,wheelbase,.540/.560 solid cam,12.5-1,aluminum heads. Hemi Darts and Cudas aren't legal. It doesn't really matter as there are so many different combos.With a wide spread in weight between various body styles nothing will ever be apples to apples. Tech hum,how many 12 sec 350 Pontiacs have you ever seen? Doug
