This OLD Corvette DESTROYS Supercars!!!

Great video, as a 70 year old guy I remember these cars. I really like your channel.

[@ryanbreezy]

Thomas Ryan humble I love it

[@musicman102357]

I am 61 and I remember these as well. Love that body style. I have an 86 Ferrari 328 which is my favorite of all cars however this body style Corvette is in my top 5.

[@johntate4638]

I like the cars, but not the kid. I just want to punch him in the face. I dunno why. He just looks like he needs it.

[@superprettyko]

I too remember those days well. I had a 67 Coupe for 6 years. Drove it every day every where, even in winter. Who knew - from 1968 - 1974. If we knew our cars would be worth something, we would taken better care of them. Had side exhaust, what a sound, and they are loud inside. KOOL car. Drive a G S Collector conv., last conv made of the Collector series, it's FAST TOO.

[@superprettyko]

@Allyn Howell - - - - - Of the original ones for road racing. Which is correct. This is made to look, act like the original, also to sound like the original 5.

[@aaronlopez3585]

There aren't many things that bring a smile to a gear head, except a mid to early sixties Corvette. For many years I drove a 67 Corvette Stingray custom. 427 v8 410 HP, 400lb ft torque. It turned a lot of heads. Great video. PS the Stingray had no power steering or AC, every time I drove it I got a good cardio workout.😉

[@rodneypratt4324]

Yeah that's why men drove those cars

[@dickfitzwelliner2807]

Oh man my 2017 gti has 380ftlb's, it's pretty crazy how engine tech has evolved. Well 50 years is a long time, so what I said is pretty pointless. I want a 67 427 bad. Ok well damn near every Chevy from the late 60's early 70's, chevy made some beautiful looking cars and trucks then

Of all the cars I have ever owned, I miss my 67 Vette coupe with the L-79 (327/ 350HP). This video brought nothing but smiles and memories all the way through it, Thank You.
