The Original 1963 Corvette Grand Sport

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

Everyone is excited about the new 2010 Corvette Grand Sport, but no one is talking about the original Corvette Grand Sport which was a lightweight full competition Corvette that was designed and built to challenge the best sports cars in the world, both production and prototype.  You can see more information about the first series of Grand Sports on this page:  http://www.corvettelegends.com/grandspr.htm 

That article is on my original website that I posted back in 1995-1996.  Hope you enjoy it!

L-88 Corvette, the ancestor of the C6 Z06 and ZR1

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

Everyone is talking about the performance of the new C6 ZO6 and the C6 ZR1.  It seems that there is a huge cultural gap when it comes to Corvettes.  I’m not talking about generation gaps here, I’m talking about the new Corvette enthusiasts being unaware of the extreme performance that was (and still is) available in older Corvettes.

The L-88 Corvette was the fastest most powerful Corvette built during the 1967, 1968, and 1969 model years.  Its performance ranked on the top of all Corvettes until the recent release of the new Z06 and Zr1 Corvettes.
