Trivia of the Evening-CID vrs. HP
What Corvette engine originally surpassed or matched the CID vrs. HP threshold? That is, they were equal. Or more on the HP side

OK, game over! Yes. No fooling you folks. But Chevrolet took that 283CID engine higher in HP stock form in the Corvette. How high did it go? And why?

And sorry I forgot, 315 hp came in 1960, when my dad was 13! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Some of you guys around here are old enough to have been at that press conference! :lol: ;)

That is what I was thinking. Chevrolet was into racing in the late 1950s and did not hesitate to share its engineering successes with the buying public.
