Someone needs to look this up.. Are you sure a 68 vette stock has 300hp? I'm not too sure with a small block. Wasn't that still a 327 then? I had a boss van featured in magazines and everything with a built 327 putting out 325 hp 11-1 compression. this was a 65 GMC Handyvan in 1972 So 68 vette.... ??

Plus they used to cheat like crazy on hp ratings in them days. (I graduated in 66 and had a 61 vette)

Still.... a 68 vette expects to run a truck. Poor guy.
And it IS fun. I've had nothing but SUV's and GMC trucks for some time and it is fun to see how many trucks want to race now or push you on the highway. Reminds me of my vette days when everyone wanted to race.

Great story.
