 Baddest Corvette EVER

As an owner of a split window 63 I know how awsome these cars are in stock form. I can only emagine what it was like to drive a Grand Sport. WHAT A RUSH.
Too bad Chevrolet had to stick to the 1957 AMA racing ban. Those Cobras would have not had the success they had if these cars had sme factory backing.

This is THE baddest of the bad Corvettes! The only Corvette that not only kicked the Cobras in the rear end,but would blow the doors of the period Ferraris and Ford GT40's! Just a beautiful car with a beautiful engine:377 CID V8 cranking 485 bhp and 435 lb/ft of torque,with 4 2bbl Weber carbs sitting on cross ram tubes! And a small block at that! One can only imagine what it would have been like with the 550 bhp,500 lb/ft torque,377 HEMI!!! Yeah,baby!

As a corvette enthusiast i get excited by the 60's chevrolet racing program, and this car is a brilliant example of that. only 5 made, but were planning on producing 105, all aluminium 377ci chev small block, tubular chassis, with a conclusive weight of 2200 pounds, all engineered by the late and idolistic Zora Arkus-Duntov. Zora was convinced that he could produce a car that could abliterate the competition of the Shelby Cobras, and low and behold, they did! definately a corvette icon, a legend that will be remembered by all who are touched by the fanatic hobby that is CORVETTE!
