Nice close race 69 L88 and 72 Olds W30 go head to head in a pretty darn fast and interesting matchup with a close race.
The Corvette has a 435 HP L88 427 engine with a Muncie 4 speed trans and 4:56 posi. It is one of 116 made that year.
The Olds W30 has the L77-455 engine with an automatic trans and 4:10 posi. This car
was one of 776 made in 72.
Watch and see who wins in this short race.

Olds
1969 corvette L88 was rated 430HP
But actually over 500hp
The HP was underrated back in the Muscle Car hayday! (for all!)
My first car, ’72 Olds Cutlass S, 350ci, two barrel carb, body and rims matching bronze color with tan vinyl top. Great car, poor gas mileage and frequently burned points made it unreliable.!
What a pile of crap post
I want both
I’ll take the Corvette
1970 was the last good year of the W-30 they went down hill with the low compression engine
