Default Re: 70 LT-1 how fast
-------January/February 1970 I bought a new LT1 Corvette roadster. 4:11s, close ratio. With about 2000 miles, yanked the smog and put a set of OK sides on it. Then borrowed a pair of slicks. Cant remember how tall they were but couldnt have been over 8 inchs wide. Went to Palm Beach Dragway (pre Moroso) and ran a 12.91 thru the traps in 3rd gear at about 7200/7300. Never so much as touched either the distributor or the carburetor! Man that Vette would run!............Bill S
