Finn,

If you ever got to hear the difference in the idle of a 390hp as compared to a L-88..........this is how you would react............

:eek

When he starts it up, if you don't crap your pants, it's not a L-88.

I don't need an L-88 to cra.... never mind, that's probably too much detail.:ugh

As healthy as that video sounds, it comes no where near the experience of standing beside one.

THIS is closer to the sound, but it's my ZZ-502, not a L-88. The L-88 cam is more radical and the compression is much higher.....therefore a very specific sound not to be forgotten.

It doesn't matter what kinda vette you got, but what makes ya crap yurself is when you get behind the wheel of one for the first time. Trust me, hek, you all know what Im talkin about. Im 16, gotta tell ya, between a 79 vet and mom's 04 ford focus, like comparing an ant to a jet plane. GOOD TIMES!
