Bingo. You got the full E-Ticket experience.I have never experienced that Corvette, I'll bet it was great. I was just about to post about a Shelby Cobra when BigRed posted his picture. I was given a "spirited" ride in one. The driver tossed it around pretty violently. No comfort in the seat, road and drive train vibrations all make it to the seat and anything you can grab hold of. Loud, not just the pipes, the wind, tires, everything. The acceleration, cornering and breaking were all extreme, while the harsh passenger compartment did not buffer anything. Terrifying, and that is coming from a man that spent 20 years on big bore Kawaski's and enjoys skydiving. When he stopped and I got out I was shaking and wondering if I was having a heart attack. It was the most exciting ride I ever had.
My memory of the Cobras was much the same save the heart attack. That was raw adrenaline my friend. You rode the lightning.
I spent my share of time on Big Bore KZ’s. Brutal and fast.
An ingo member and friend has owned a late 60’s BB vette and also a later model with a modified LS drive train.
He says the LS is much faster and overall driving experience is nice by comparison.
But for the full on seat of your pants hang on effect he preferred the old school BB car.
