This car is not making 530 HP. These ratings are gross ratings, not SAE net rating like most cars today. I estimate that this car is making 400-450 net hp.

One of the American icon that ever became the fastest car not just in America but in the world. Tested by GM test track can reach 180 mph and some magazine write this car can reach over 170 mph. Only Ferrari Daytona, Lamborghini Miura and Shelby Cobra who can match it's top speed. Output by GM is 430 hp @ 4600 but true output is 530 hp @ 6400.

Well if you want to buy this in 1968, you must order it under RPO C48 and this car doesn't has radio and heater. All of the L88 model got 4 Disc Brake (Power Brake) and heavy duty suspension also it has 200 mph Spedometer. It 1.500 USD more costly than base model. The racing model got 600 Hp and can reach 194 mph in 12 Hours race in Sebring Raceway. Sucessor of this car is Corvette ZL1.
