article on re-creation C3 LT2 drag/test Lightweight Corvette

[markjohnson]

I’ve always been nuts about the original test car and love the excellent re-creation! I spent a whole bunch of time around it at the MCACN show and there’s just so many cool little things about it but the Holley 4500 bulging out of the air cleaner baseplate and 180-degree headers really ring my bell. Now I’ve had some brutally fast cars along with a sense of self-preservation but 6-grand neutral dropping that Rat motor with so many u-joints in close proximity would tend to make me a bit nervous.
