I’m going to give you the straight up warning here. This is pornographic. This video is going to cause a loss of blood to your extremities and likely cause you to make bad decisions. You have been warned.
You’re about to watch a legit L88 Corvette turned loose on the road course at Daytona in all of its glorious screaming beauty. This thing is a hauler and it shows its teeth right off the bat by chewing up a couple of cars including one that looks like some sort of Lola. More experienced road racy types will fix that for me.
The brutish big block Corvette was competing in the HSR Classic 24 during one of the night sessions that the event offers. The folks have been inviting us down for years but the pesky drag races keep getting in the way. One of these years we will make it down to experience what has to be one of the best historic road races on planet Earth. Just judging by this clip alone it brings out the heavy guns.
We are going to ride with Matt Parent here and Matt is a guy who gets around. He road races all over the country and can often be found in vintage Corvettes. We’re not sure all of them are hairy knuckled L88 variants but this one is and when he gets this thing onto the banking and that 427 gets on song…look out. You may weep with joy when he flat foots this thing to the redline. Glorious is the wrong word.
We’re done…watch it!
Oh my.
Nothin’ sounds better than the big block chevy(imho) Thanks..
