Don't believe everything you read in magazines..I've owned 'em.

I've owned a balanced and blueprinted '68 Ram Air Firebird back in '68, a slightly warmed over 455 Lemans that was definitely qicker than our L78 Chevelle in a side by side run, a '72 Chevelle with a '68 MQ code L78, and have a '69 L78 Chevelle. Performance wise the Pontiac power performed the best. The 'bird could beat a local 427 powered '68 Chevelle by about a car length. For all out performance, the L78 probably has more potential.
Judge prices have gone sky high in the last few years. PHS probably has a lot to do with it. Even though the Pontiac is the rarer beast, there is an awfully strong Chevelle following that keeps the L78 prices up. Guaranteed, you won't have trouble selling either.

[/ QUOTE ]I also have had both cars at numerous times and I can honestly tell you that a Ram III car and an L78 are very close when the Ram III car has 390's. An L78 is not that fast when they only have 355's Trust me Im not trying to start a fire here and for the record I really respect L78 cars But they are not as fast as you think.
