Paul, whatever the speed was, it was well over 200mph which is simply incredible considering that it happened nearly 40 years ago! The open chambered L88s are truly the king of the musclecar era although my opinion is biased

I posted some more photos from the show on one of my sites tonight, and I should be able to post some more later this week. Here's the link: Dr. Pete's New Corvette Site
