Default Re: 1970 LS6 TRIPLE BLACK RAGTOP

-----Yup,,,Mine weighed 1900lbs dripping wet, and was one of the fastest stock automobiles I ever drove. I found out many years later why they were so light when an owner at the Meadowbrook Concours let me in on a secret. The frames were exhaust tubing. Made sense to me although I have never checked that fact out. I never (even back then) would have gone 160 in one. It scared me silly at 100/110. The thing wouldnt begin to hook up so I thought drag racing at the strip would be fruitless. On the street from a role it was a way different situation. Mine was a 200........Bill S
