Dave Martin, my 470 HP stroked 350 small block 1974 Corvette has a 5500 redline. It only does 105 MPH top speed and reaches it in 1270 feet in just about 12 seconds. I ride out the last 50 feet of the quarter mile topped out. The stock big block for the 74 had a 5250 redline.
But the Italians are known for their over the top setups.
A Maserati Roomerbang?

Soo fucking Italian. Hey, we make-a what we like and worry about if it works later, capische paisan? I'll bet the leather smells like sex, though.

ReplyDeleteYou can keep your man card. One little mistake doesn't mean anything more than you're really a man.
ReplyDeleteA supercar with a 5500 RPM redline.....my truck engine turns faster than that. Even in the day a run of the mill small block would go that fast.

And sometime, some poor schlub has to repair that.
