Marissa Reviews: Driving a 1967 Chevy Corvette L71 427ci Big Block!

[@dougcarlson6800]

I graduated 1979. I had a classmate Leslie her dad would let her drive a 63 split back to school. She always gave me rides this reminds me of her. Cool for you.

[@iitywybmad29]

My neighbor had a new coupe. Maroon with turbine wheels and side pipes. I loved that car..

[@allenmarelic9916]

Thanks for the ride along good to see

[@CarlosPerdomo]

You’re something else girl ❤😊

[@cofeebeing]

Thanks. Enjoyed the drive. Todays cars computers on wheels. Old school is so much more with so much less.

[@pnwdweler4100]

How is a C2 corvette overrated. The design was completely ahead of its time.

[@TroutButter]

She said some people think that, but that's not her saying it.

[@500erider]

You might get your jollies while staring at a poster of some Hollywood femme fatale, but at the end of the day, this is the kind you take home to meet mama, and put a ring on. She's awesome !!!!!!!!!

[@hawkeye454]

That car is freaking awesome

[@stephenhoosick7434]

Im 1000% with you,,,Nothing better,,Love it

[@royrauch9775]

Horsepower Depot has made these BIG BLOCKS into low 9 second at 148 MPH MONSTERS! .... WITH WIDE OVAL TIRES!!!!!

[@howabouthetruth2157]

I've been following those guys for quite some time. Those are actually L88 427's punched out to 542 cu in. They do on occasion drop in a relatively stock L88 if they have one of their race motors being rebuilt though, and yes, the factory L88's are still absolute monsters. As you probably already know: they continue to dominate the FAST class of NHRA drag racing & continuously breaking their own records with the 542 cu in versions. Not even the punched out 426 Hemi's making 1,000 hp can touch them. Any C2 Corvette with the original factory L88 427 is a very rare car. They didn't make many of them because they were intended strictly as racers. Those equipped with the L71 427 are the more streetable versions, many more of em made, and like she said: much more available........still absolute power houses too.

[@gordocarbo]

@@howabouthetruth2157 Figured HD's vette was stroked seems a real reach with the stock crank. DIdnt know you could get 542ci out of them.

[@scott3744]

Midyear Corvettes are the greatest cars ever made 👍😂😎

[@gordocarbo]

DIgging it!! Nothing funner than the torque of a BB and close ratio 4 speed. All the critical comments typical corvette goobs. Like the cars the crowd not so much. Nothing wrong with her driving either. If you think thats abusing a car then youve never enjoyed one.

[@billydee8051]

Here's the rub about pushing one of those classic cars. I'm not sure if that's the original engine to the car. I saw the tripower so maybe it is. If an original engine block gets damaged and can't be repaired, the loss in car's value would be significant. That's why some of the more passionate owners are so reserved when operating their cars. I totally get your sentiment though. I'd be a lot more aggressive in my driving with a resto than I would with car using it's original drive train. I imagine the enjoyment of ownership depends on what kind car you have.

[@michaeldelio1870]

She is comfortable driving the shit out of it ! How can you not love her ?

[@justingray3456]

You measure that car's fuel consumption in smiles per gallon.

[@knegon]

Some of the lyrics from Beach Boys Little Deuce Coupe fits this video perfect! Maybe this part 2:55 fits the best…but the whole video is a perfect match I would say… ”And coming off the line when the light turns green Well, she blows them out of the water like you never seen I get pushed out of shape, and it's hard to steer When I get rubber in all four gears”

[@PAUL-m8z3o]

Oh😂 damn. The dreaded concrete yruck. Now that IS SCARY

[@moona7744]

Supposed to not take your hand off the shifter. Least I never did. Might now since I'm 64. 😎

[@same3413]

Just wow. Finland and oldskool is best❤💪

[@janfswedane]

I would take the BBC C2 any of an 8 day week over an overengineered German Posh VW.... Nothing beats the feeling and bruge power of an old Corvette...

[@billydee8051]

I just came across this video so thank you for sharing but I do have some critiques. Having owned several older Corvettes, I can confidently say that there were so many things said and done wrong on this video, I wouldn't even know where to begin in describing them. I'd humbly suggest that you research the Corvette and it's place in the market a little more before doing another review video. PS: That motor is probably pushing about 500+ ft*lb's of torque so shredding ~8" wide tires, even with a 3.08 rear end, is nothing extraordinary and is just abusing the car.

[@gordocarbo]

That is nowhere near abusing a car sheesh. Its just a car dont know why vette guys get so wound up over every little thing.

[@kurtheggelke8352]

Easy big guy. Leave her alone. She's having fun. Isn't that enough. Every car guys dream.

[@billydee8051]

@@gordocarbo I think anything that shortens the life of equipment is abuse. A BB '67 Corvette is 'just a car', huh? To each, his own, I guess.

[@billydee8051]

@@kurtheggelke8352 Yeah, I wish my gf enjoyed new or old performance cars. The vintage car community can be quite particular. To most of those guys, I'm probably a lightweight but I'll still comment if I see or hear information that isn't right.

[@TroutButter]

@@billydee8051 Well, you have a wrong and just plain dumb definition of "abuse." I guess you think professional racing is abuse since they are replacing parts constantly. Get a clue dude.

slow shifter rides again - you need to take that to the race track and get it off the road, grand ma is on the road and need to revoke driver's permit - you are hankering for the blue light special any body can build a chit will lay - get ready to install a clutch

She said some people say that, not her. And no, the new ones are not either.
