A very rare 1969 L88 Corvette takes on a slew of rare GM Muscle: 1970 Z28 Camaro, 1969 Chevelle SS 396, 1972 Olds W30 442 and a 1969 Camaro ZL1.
All are very desirable and rare muscle cars, so how does other GM muscle stack up against an L88 Corvette which is powered by a solid lifter, square port 427 Cubic Inch (7 L) Chevy Big Block which was conservatively rated at 430 horsepower.
The first car to take on the L88 is a 1970 Camaro Z28, which although was quick for a small block, it's no match the L88. The Z28 is equipped with Chevrolet's potent 350 cubic inch (5.7L) / 360 horsepower solid lifter LT1.
The next car to race the L88 is a very rare 1969 Chevelle SS396 with the L78/L89 option. That means it came from the factory with the rare aluminu head option along with the solid lifter 4 bolt main, square port 396 (6.5L). The L78/L89 was conservatively rated at 375 horsepower.
The third car to race the L88 Corvette is a 1972 Olds 442 W30. The Olds is powered by a 455 cubic inch (7.5 L) oldmosbile blueprinted w30 torque monster. Since this 442 is a 1972, the horsepower rating was down to 300 because ratings changed from Gross to Net. Watch the video and you'll see this Olds W30 is make some real power.
The last car to race the L88 is a very (1 of 69) 1969 ZL1 Camaro. The ZL1 is powered by an all aluminum 427 cubic inch (7 L), solid lifter Chevy big block.
All the cars in the video are competing in the Pure Stock Drags, so modifications are very limited. The only modifications permitted are minor porting, blue printing and minor weight reduction without altering the stock appearance. Camshafts and compression ratio have to be within a small percentage of stock specs. That means stock intake manifold, stock exhaust manifolds and street tires.
So WHO WINs? Watch the video and see what happens.

I was surprised at that cutlass. Heaviest car of the bunch and yet it managed to be the Corvette's closest competitor. Badass cars overall though.

And so many people believe these older muscle cars were "slow". Certain gems with a good tune & better, modern tires run like hell. I don't care what anyone says, 11 second passes are damned quick, even by today's standards in a factory car.

Theres only a select few cars that could hang with that L88 Vette during that time period. . Nothing from GM , it was the King 👑. From Ford nothing , no wait thats not true the Cobra 427 could hang and win Now Mopar , only the Hemi and its close, both mills are monsters on the big end always a great race 👍 Thats about it !!!

Can you imagine, that car is 50.years old and will run right with the new c8 and it has none of the technology. Those cars had to be underrated on HP and Torque.

The owner of the 'vette is a really good racer. You could see he was cutting some really good r/t.
