Now out of all those Corvettes, why do you keep the 76??? IIRC the HP on
those years was pretty skinny. 165 ish..


============
Easy....

Stock HP was only 180 ...(It is a L48 not the 210 HP L-82) and
it always could lay rubber in 1st,2nd,3rd and chirp the tires in
4th...

Heck my old 72 Vega would chirp the tires going into 3rd. I have an old
friend that I grew up with. When we were in our late teens he had a 70
Firebird. We tinkered with it a bit. Oddly a 3 speed floor shift. He
broke his leg so he used his crutch to push on the gas and right foot on the
clutch to get going from a stop. After that he use his right foot on the
gas and could the tires loose shifting into 2nd and top gear with out the
clutch.
