Default Re: L88 vs. LS6

I had this conversation with a friend last weekend while at the NCRS judges retreat in Dallas.
He's considering an LS6 Corvette vs. an L88 Corvette. Although the LS6 is a 454 and it is an extremely rare engine option, the L88 is just a buzz word for high performance. The 427 engine is so well known and it was raced in NASCAR well into the '70's. It was a good engine and that L88 hood is just wicked looking. With real L88's not selling for less than $200,000 now, it's apparent that they're popular. By the way, there will be 20 to 50 L88's at the NCRS Nationals in San Antonio in August. If you like L88's, come to San Antonio to see the largest collection of L88's ever assembled.
