Apparently the main point of the article was to show how the performance of the C2 evolved from the beginning to the end.

I was expecting a drag race, followed by a couple laps at Willow Springs.

Major disappointment.

It should have said compares instead of pits.

Standard 4-wheel disc brakes were introduced on the '65 Corvette, not the '67. You could still order the drum brakes as a credit delete on the '65s but discs were standard.
