Father & Son Pix

[Cosworth1]

Thx for letting me share the pix of my two pace cars:
I call them "father and the son" .

What a difference 30 years makes! They look like great examples of Corvette Pace Cars.

My first Corvette was a '78, which I bought in 1999. 9 years later, and I'm in a brand new '08 C6. It is quite a difference between the two cars!

Congrats

Very nice - I can imagine there is a bit of a difference in comfort and handling ;-)

Beautiful rides!

Is that L82 Pace Car Auto or Stick? I want to cut one of them up some day and drop an LSX in it. Your's would be too nice to do that.

Hi John Z- wow--Cosworth Launch manager..
The avitar is from my 76 Cosworth #2551..I also have a 75 Cosworth #970 (purchased in Ohio) with 7500 miles on it..
I'll bet some of the members of the CVOA (Cosworth Vega Owners Association) would love to interview you for some automobile nostalgia...

thanks.

I wrote a series of articles for the CVOA newsletter back in 2002-2003 on the design, development, and launch of the Cosworth. You've probably heard of Duke Williams (developed the re-indexed cams for the Cosworth) - I've known Duke for many years, and we've co-researched many engine-related topics together.

Niece piece of history--yes-Duke Williams is well known amongst us Cosworth members. thanks agan for the post. !
