There are few cars like this roadster that have the lines that match the function and deliver such an intoxicating experience. When GM first released the L72. it was originally rated at 450hp but then was changed shortly thereafter to 425hp to either comply with insurance guidelines or to address the internal pressures to keep power ratings in check. It definitely has at least 450hp. In 1966. the L72 posted impressive stats with 0-60 in 5. 7 seconds and 0-100 in 13. 4 seconds. In 1987.
