The story of the L88 is Kool no doubt. It only adds to the mystique and Legendary status of this Yenko.

However:

While the ET's run by this car were very impressive and industry leading, for back in the day ...

The 11.94 @ 114mph best run is indicative of a well tuned and prepped L72 not an L88. The L88 would have saved approx 80lbs and added approx 100hp over the L72 set up.
