Default Corvette Acceleration Article

While cleaning out the closet this week, I came across the following article from the fall 1990 edition of Corvette Quarterly by Jim "Jingles" Ingle then the chief Corvette drive train engineer. Although this article concerns the L98, there are nuggets of information that can be applied by current Corvette racers.

Great info. Thanks for posting. Interesting torque curve of the L98 compared to the newer LS series engines.
