Recently bought a c4 corvette cause it seemed like an underrated performance car with a good bang for your buck value. Thing is I’m used to driving an economy car. What are some tips for a rwd and relative high power car? I’m coming from a hybrid econobox so yes it’s vastly different.

    What heavily modded car in the early 80s were you driving that had 500hp? 500hp would blow the doors off nearly everything back then!

      It was a built 360, 13.5-1 compression, big cam, ported heads, single plane intake, 3600rpm stall converter, built 727 trans w manual valve body, 4:56 rear diff 8 3/4 rear. It was in a lightweight 1972 Plymouth Duster. I had several friends with built big block chevelles, chargers, 442, challengers back then and it did well. I was going broke buying racing gas though. Two of my friends regularly drove their narrowed rear end, parachute/wheelie bar cars on the street. They both could do wheelies. lol
