In 1967, the Corvette family welcomed a new member in its midst, although nobody wanted to talk about it: the L88, which wasn’t advertised anywhere in official Chevrolet literature. Zora Duntov, the brainiac behind Corvette’s most fanatical performing variants, decided that GM’s ban on racing wasn’t doing the sportscar any good and simply ignored it.
