The L88 Vette was tested by CC mag. back in the day They ran the numbers and est the output somewhere in the 560hp range, stock. We already know factory Hemi's with solid cams will easily make over 500hp. It amazes me that both drivers got off the line so cleanly on those crap tires. Great ET's!
Absolute battle of two legends - like others have written - I could watch this all day. Thank you for the great vid and hilarious commentary. 🌮 🌮 (that’s “cheers” with tacos).
I was thinking that corvette was going to take the win with the higher compression and lighter curb weight but that Hemi really surprised me! I could watch those two cars race all week long
This was an awesome race. Both cars obviously were tweaked within the rules, they totally hooked up, and the drivers knew how to drive. But the commentary had me laughing out loud! Well done.
With seeing the specs it looked as if the vette was the better drag car, but that just shows how tough those hemi's are and the guy driving it must be at least in his 70s so thats one grandpa you better not pull up beside of in your little 4banger with the sounds of all the bees traped under the hood!
Awesome matchup! '67 R/t one of my favorite musclecars of all time, but thought the "Vette would take it , being lighter...a great race....125MPH...wow!
@@buzzwaldron6195No watch the beginning of the video the 427 had been bored .040 over so that takes the stock cubes from 427- 437 cubes plus it had other internal mods done to it. The Hemi Cornett this guy that made the video said the car was bought new by the driver from the factory & it is original stock from the factory plus it weighed 400 lbs more than the Corvette does after both were weighed and with that square body shape it's about as aero dynamic as a brick compared to the Corvette with its sleek and rounded body shape. The Dodge lost by .03 seconds to the much modified 427 but if you look closer at the end just as they both cross the trap beams the Hemi was starting to pull away from the Corvette because the gears in the Corvette limited any more trap speed and the engine was at max HP and basically running out of breath and couldn't pull anymore . Both cars are very nice and if I had the money I would gladly have both in my garage especially the Corvette being so few of these were made . Some years ago the Hemi supposedly won more races than any of the engines made by GM and Ford Mercury etc probably starting in the mid 50s on when the 426 came out that dominated the SS classes and dominated in the alcohol and nitro classes . The modem day top fuel dragsters and funny cars use a Hemi engine largely based off of the 426 Hemi in a lot of ways but using solid billet aluminum heads and blocks to be able to withstand the 10,000 + HP they are making now .
BEWARE of buying original 426 Hemi's nowadays.........even if they've already been "rebuilt". Nearly all of those old Hemi's have been raced hard, beat on, and modified or doctored up countless times, in so many weird & desperate ways, you usually wind up buying a total lemon. I'm not even kidding. Mismatched caps off of another engine in the rotating assembly, and that's just scratching the surface. Don't believe it? Just ask Tony of Uncle Tony's Garage youtube channel. He's a total Mopar guy, and he built & raced nothing BUT Hemi's back in the day. He warns everyone: STEER CLEAR of the old Hemi's............you'll wind up with some weird shit that is UN-FIXABLE. Or you'll spend far more money TRYING to fix it, than it will ever be worth, and chances are, it STILL won't be right. The average guy today is much better off with a 440.
If you aren't looking for a rare hemi car or an R/T they aren't that hard to find. I own a '66 that came with a small block and it only set me back around 4k.
I gotta say, these cars are fast as all hell, and I'm glad you get to record these videos, as well as talk about the cars! it's just very entertaining content
I had a chance to see a real L88 in person by far the most beautiful corvette I’ve ever seen. They guy who owns it told me they suck to drive on the streets but once you hit the strip there’s no stopping it
Great race! My dad had a red 1969 coronet bought new and drove the hell outta it! Shame though, it was in a wreck in 1981 when it got t-boned by a 77 firebird and my grandpa sold it for it's parts. Thanks for the epic matchup and memories!
A friend of mine in high school who had quite a few fast cars and was in my auto shop class bought himself his dream car was L88 Vette he told me honestly Dave that was the scariest car I've ever owned. And he could drive. This was a battle of the brutes. Hilarious commentary as always.
Goodday C & Z, That was awesome, I saw a identical 1967 Coronet R/T back in 2019 at the Chrysler Show in Adelaide. Same colour but with a centre console & you knew you were looking a rarity.

I've been waiting on this the legendary l-88 427 vs the legendary 426 hemi now all we need is fords legendary 427 and now it's a straight up battle royal/domestic war
If the L88 didn't have headers that were open, it was handicapped more than most people know. Large port heads would not be good with cast iron exhaust manifolds. Slicks were also allowed. Those two things would make a tremendous difference at a drag strip. Seems like they are always compared without them. I read an article years ago about Zora Duntov taking a '69 L88 to a drag strip with headers and slicks, and 100% stock and made one pass at 10.1.
That was a great race between two of the best muscle car classics of the day. Neither of these cars would run those kind of times back then especially on street tires. Race tracks back then didn’t have the traction they do today but it was a fun matchup.
@@gordocarbo They made tall and low deck 427s and GM sold millions because it was a mass production engine unlike the HEMI that sold about 11,000 units. If GM wasn’t beating the crap out of Ford and Chrysler in NASCAR there probably wouldn’t be any Gen 2 Hemis or SOHC Ford engines.
My gas station boss (Colorado) in 1967 owned a black/black 1967 Coronet 440 R/T with a 4-speed. It had the 440 Magnum engine. But it was great to look at while I worked there.
On an unrelated note, could you imagine how cool it was to be those EMS guys? You're a highly trained first responder and you're getting paid to sit and watch races at the strip all day lol.
@CarsAndZebras Love your videos man! Always gives me something to look forward to. I know it's kinda "luck of the draw" for what vehicles show up when you film but if you could it would be SUPER cool to see a 1st gen Monte Carlo (or any gen) tearing it up. I have a '70 and they don't get much love being overshadowed by the Chevelles and Corvettes🤘
Corvette L88 has more horsepower, higher compression, stiffer gearing, less weight, cost a lot more, cold air induction, more rubber, better aerodynamics.... And it is louder. Of course it will win. Well, ok, it will win by a reaction time at least. Nice race.
WOW! Single elimination, bring your A game. Awesome, BEAUTIFUL BB muscle cars doing work. Good thing that vette cut that light...holeshot win for the L88

Marzen ; I know you're joking. But in reality, the price of drug, alcohol, cigarette use is astronomical. And the cost if a person O.D.'s and dies? Let's say someone earns $25k a year x 20yrs. That's $500,000. So git off yer ass and by that teen of yours a new TH350. Have a great time at the track! John ;o)
When we were 18, my frend bought new 4 sp. 70 340 cuda, had motor built for street/ strip , and i went with him several times to watch him race it. He often won against similar cars, not always. When gas crunch of 73 hit he sold it to a GI for 2500 and I recall us laughing about how guy paid too much. We dont talk about it.
I'm a Corvette person through and through, but I'd rather have that Mopar! You can't beat the Hemi "wow" factor. Both legendary and powerful. I love them both.
Man dog dish hub caps get me every time. Two awesome beasts! It would be super cool if you could get another camera set up somewhere down towards the finish. Hear those things screamin!
I know because my 65 gto tuned well with 3 2 bbl Muncie 4 speed and 373 rear gears was a 14 second car bone stock . Not low 14 . I got it into the 12 second with a cam -big 850 single 4 bbl headers - 411 gears and oh yes -the expensive ram air heads . Paid 1000 dollars for them heads when that was a lot of money .

I owned a 1969 427/435 4 Speed Corvette back in the 70s. My wife was afraid of it. Oh by the way the TriPower was gone, but it had a Holley 6 barrel on it, anyone ever heard of that.
It was probably a Holley 3 Barrel, not a 6 Barrel. They made 3 Barrels in 2 sizes, not exactly sure but i thinking one was around 900 cfm, and the other was around 1000 cfm, they were replaced with the Dominator Carburetors.
@@joebiddy3699 Was it a Autolite 6 Barrel type carburetor ? And not a Holley ? I've never heard of Holley doing a 6 Barrel type carburetor, but i thought Autolite did something like that, Autolite Cross Ram thought I've seen before.

Anyone else a huge fan of BOTH of these cars??? I’ll take one of each!
My father actually owned a '66 Coronet AND a '68 Corvette back in the day... Neither of us can afford either of them anymore though.
I'll take the Vette. Slopars are always hard on the eye. They're like a woman with a ugly face and a hot body. Gotta turn that light off.

The Vette won because of reaction time not because it was lighter. The Mopar ran quicker and faster but was late on the tree.

@@joebiddy3699 Yeah, I'll have to look into that. I do remember seeing years ago some Autolite Cross Ram or Cross Boss, it was on a Ford 289 Hi-Po or Boss 302 engine, was a long time ago. I'll have to look into it more when i have some time.
Slapped the Sh't out of the hemi mopar, LMAO 🤣
The Olympics people have a barn of lawyers to crush people that use their logo. They're like Disney in that.
