oh yeah, it sounded like *** when he took off too... really hollow
Mid 70's Vettes (stock, anyway) are not known for their fantastic amounts of power. All 350's in a Corvette after 1975 had less than 200hp SAE net. One year the California emissions model was saddled with a 305! They didn't break the 200hp barrier (ah, the smog era) again until 1982 with a form of TBI. So it isn't surprising. If my father hadn't sold his out from under me , that 200hp TBI 350 would've been shelved in favor of a newer Vortec or LT4 (for starters).

I have a corvette (inherited, not bought). 50th anniversary, not the new body style (not as fast as the new ones) but my buddy has a ton of money (like 10k) in his CTD and the vette smokes him with just exhuast, intake, and a programmer.
Well it had the amber lights like yours but definatly a later model i'm thinking 02. It has a similar amber light like yours matt.

Hell, I don't need no stinking excuse to lean on it. Only this morning I ran my own shadow, and I want to tell you it was really a close run.
