    Only Corvette I really want.... but the aero is scary on those things. They were noted for lift.

    I got to meet Z. A. Duntov, at a Vette show in the early 80s, & asked him about that, having noticed the "Mid Years all Lifted" while the C-3s seamed to get lower at speed, while watching them in S.C.C.A. events. He answered my question directly.
    " That design made a Beautiful Sports Car. Unfortunately, it also makes a Very bad Airplane".
    I must say though, that is 1 Nice looking 65 Coupe.

    193 mph!?!?!? I wonder what he's done to the engine??? I thought those things were notoriously squirrelly over 150 mph of so.

    It looks fairly close to stock. I wonder what the engine/drivetrain combo is. Was this at the Michigan Mile ?
