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....

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

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