Hard to beat an L88 or a 426 Hemi. I would prefer an L88 even over a ZL1 if I had the choice of either one.

When I got out of the Marines in '71 I became acquainted with a young lady (Linda) who owned a '69 L88 Corvette (yes, a real one).
The rear panel was hand lettered, "If You Can Beat Me, You Can Eat Me"....

No idea what became of her or the car....

OK then.....I'm sorry for muddying up this informative thread....

Fresh from Vietnam I crashed with a couple buddies to get my head on straight and find my own place.
Their house was two blocks from the university campus, pretty much party central 3-4 nights a week.
Linda came by a couple times, announced by the rumble out in the street. Attractive blonde, about 5'10", The Vette was a red coupe, no side pipes and I believe aluminum slots.

'nuff said...

Today I learned that there really is a "Britton" Michigan.

All this time I thought the track announcer was just mispronouncing "Brighton" Mich.

In the late '60s one of the faster true stock cars in town was a '66 Catalina 2 plus 2, 421 HO (376 hp IIRC?) 4 speed and 4.10 rear. It would just hook and go...
