Corvette Drag Racing History - Remember When...
Corvette Drag Racing History - Remember When...
Thoughts from the automotive past by Doug MarionAll of us have a specific Corvette year or era of which we are most fond. But when you compare Corvette's early performance history, 1957, 1963, and 1965 really stand out. Imagine if you were a Corvette development engineer and were part of 1957's offerings: Rochester fuel injection, Borg-Warner four-speed full-synchromesh transmission, a hot solid-lifter camshaft and Positraction. 1963 unveiled the coveted Grand Sport lightweight Sting Ray road racer, an all-new Rochester fuel injection, a full-scale Z06 SCCA road racer, independent rear suspension and let us not forget the all-new Sting Ray coupe and convertible. 1965 introduced four-wheel disc brakes and the unbelievable Mark IV 396 big-block powerplant.
