Almost fooled by what? I don't get it.. it says it's an impala with a l98 in it.. looks like that's what it is to me.. Am I missing something? Maybe it's the race car part? I mean a factory L98 is pretty damn slow in an actual corvette, its gotta be a real dog in that boat.. what a waste of time and parts..

Not a waste in 1985. Those were low tech times. In the race they entered, I'm pretty sure the L98 fuel mileage was a factor.
