Mopar thinks,
"the'66-'70 Big Block feel just like driving a Gen II Viper to me."
That would be true IF they had tires.
That would be true IF they had real power.
That would be true If they didn't have a steering box and tie rod link front end.
Those old carburetor engines weren't even in the same ballpark as our V10s as far as area under the curve.
When was the last time you tried to go fast in a 66-70 C2 or C3? These were not racecars with license plates.
Umm I have one in my garage.
The L-88 had a 12:51 compression 4.56 gears and required 110 octane, you call that a street car???
Don't start talking about some mythical special engine that one car had.
These were fun cars in their day. Today they would be considered loud dogs.
I'm sure you are reffering to the 200+ L-88 built, yep these were "prototypes" like you called them in another post. HAHA Do you realize there only 18 '68 Dodge Darts w/ RACE HEMI'S and they dominated the drag strip yet these were not mythical cars....
Joe I'm not going to arguee with you. No matter what I have to say you will still see Vettes, C2 and C3's as complete dogs, that's cool with me. I'm not niave to think a Viper is the ONLY car out there worth a damn and nothing out there can touch it. To each their own.......
When I was comparing the Viper to a Big Block C3 I was stating that they are similar in that they both are loud (side exhaust), uncomfortable, no frills (no power seats, a/c, radio), crappy brakes
, and the in your face styling. No where did I say a stock BB C3 could out run or out handle a Viper.
As far as these cars not able to make power or handle when set up, tell that to the '68 Vette who won Lemans. The same car also ran 212mph down the Muslanne Straight.
Although I'm sure you disagree, There is always be someone faster.......
