Back in the 80's, I attended an L88 gathering at the Bloomington show, and was fortunate to not only stand right next to this car but also get video of it reving its engine along with 30 other L88's. Something I will never forget!

The rear wheel arches are my favorite on muscle cars they always give it such a mean stance

Danny don't be a douche

@john- Well dude take a look to the most recent Lambo' Urus update V8 TT!!!!!!!!!! Idiot

Christopher Alex Mohamed Jul 22, 2012
@mason - That's why dry sump technology came to be. Smaller displacement engine also suffer from lack of oil so they use external oil tanks and rid them of oil pans. With no oil pan the engine now sits lower in the car and helps with weight transfer

@Mason finally someone that knows what they're talking about.

Mason Langenfeld Jul 20, 2012
This is a beautiful corvette tho

Mason Langenfeld Jul 20, 2012
You DONT want to Rev a big block past 5 or 6k anyways, because on older motors, when you would Rev them that high, the oil pickup works faster for the higher rpm and if left there, pumps all the oil into the top of the motor (heads, cam) and then there is no more oil left to lubricate the bottom end...... causing to possibly wear out a crank bearing, or if its really bad, a connecting rod/ piston ...

Christopher Alex Mohamed Jul 20, 2012
High torque engine which revs low which also requires less shifting. Which I consider great!

John Jenkins Jul 19, 2012
I don't think lambo makes any v8s, oh knowledgeable one.

Brennan Taylor Jul 19, 2012
You want the revs to go as high as they can go

Danny Rodriiguez Jul 19, 2012
Well douchbag most of racing V8s,etc are free revving Lambos,Porsche,Ferraris,Audis,etc BTW I dont want to start a RPM fight so lets only talk of the vette

Alex Vasquez Jul 19, 2012
You don't need all those revs for an engine like that of a racing vette. It's not formula lol

Quinn Conner Jul 19, 2012
Looks like a redline marker sitting at 5k?

Danny Rodriiguez Jul 19, 2012
9000RPM Cluster and it only revs to 7000 hahahaha BTW Remarkable Vette'.
