With an L88 cam and solid lifters the engine loaped (right word?) and the lifters made a racket when it idled  My friends used to call it the popcorn machine cause I always kept the lifters loose
I was parked in the local hang out one night and some kid in a Barracuda with 3 dueces pulled and asked me if I wanted to "race that pig". I said sure, but soon as I started the engine he just drove away  :

Holy shit dude! that's awesome!
I think that's the only car I'd never get it in any other color other than black with white stripes on it, or just pure black
That's like one of my biggest dream car, other than a sexy red vette I want the LS9 but I still want the old body style one of my friend was talking about how we can always pull it out of those newer POS in it and drop it in

But again, the C6 Z06s are still super sexy, I monna get some one to pass a law saying the only color can be put on a vette is red or you'll be sent to guantanamo bay

I am one of those red blooded pre-70s American muscle car fan that's anti lamborghinis just happen to be born in the wrong time at the wrong part of the earth
