So my friend Leo shows up and parks his brand new red 2023 Corvette in my driveway. He comes into the house, we have some coffee and a piece of cake and we shoot the breeze. So at one time he says to me Do you want to take a ride in a fast car? to which I quipped I really don't want to go into the garage and take my GS out at this time! He busted out laughing and said ; I really did not think you at you age would respond like that and that quick. We had a good laugh and we went out for a ride in his new Corvette. Bruno
He knows my car pretty well. He also drove it at one time at the track with a much milder cam and the car 11.70.Recently I gave him a ride and he was impressed about how much faster the car is running. Then he insisted I should give his wife a ride give his wife with him in the back seat..His wife has a Dodge with the 392 Hemy and he has also a 70 GS that ran in the old days 11.30. His wife was also impressed. This was taking off without power braking it ,just step on the gas and go. Bruno.
John the one he has is most likely in the mid 12's,my car is in the middle 11's and maybe even faster. And by the way,my car has the original motor heads and crank.I used Checy rods,so its cubes are at 470. suspension is stock with the addition of no hop bars and 2 air bags. Stock fuel line and S/I fuel pump. Short time is always in the 150's . Bruno.
