LOL, gn-ze... Yeah, I reckon if you had a half million $$$ to shread then, hey, why not...
BTW, Richrad... The original 427 "Corvette Killers" had to run factory rears and tires/wheels were very limited compared to todays... So, yeah, I'm sure that the 4-2-7s were 175 mph machines back then... So when I talk of 200 plus that with 340 or so rear and taller rubber and not-stock wheel offsets and some suspension stiffin' to keep the rubber outta the body...
BTW, Part B... The 289 Cobra I raced was also a "Corvette Killer" in the quarter mile... The Vette's couldn't touch it... We did best-out-of-5 exhibition races at various drag strips against the local top Vette and it went to a 4th run...
