I Test a WILD 1966 CORVETTE HISTORIC RACER - ONBOARD!

I track test this wild 1966 Chevy Corvette Racer and a V12 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. Old school muscle car vs high tech supercar. Two cars worlds apart! This 66 Corvette has an extensive racing history in Europe and places like Spa and also Goodwood festival with the late Peter Brock at the wheel.

Appreciating the old and the new, that's how it's done!

[@tatsdgreat8886]

Is this that old chevy type of car in that song private malone?

[@RedOnRecRoom]

I didn't know older cars could turn 7000 RPM. What a beast

[@chrisgersman4639]

They sure can! The 427 L88 race cars could pull 7,200 all day with occasional pulls up to 7,600!

[@RedOnRecRoom]

@@chrisgersman4639 yeah that's surprising, only non sportier ones rev out to 5300

[@bbb462cid]

In 1967 the F1 cars were doing 10,000 rpms out of the 3 liter formula.
I own a '66 Corvette. Depending on what engine you had that year, the tachometers could show a 6500 rpm redline...on a street engine. The solid lifter cars could take more rpm. But that doesn't mean that in the 21st century there's a rule that says an old engine can't be built to acheive higher rpms.

Music ruins the video. It's really not needed & cheapens the production. Cool Vette though. Love those cars 1963-1972 Model Years. Had three of them- the 327 is the best engine GM ever made of their small block line. You can get tons of power from them even in an all cast iron engine. Plus they sound perfect.
