Hope I'm right on this next one, and I think I am.

What colour is a true 40th anniversary Corvette? I don't just mean any Corvette made that year because there is an actually anniversary edition.

And I know there are many "non-Corvette" people here, so the correct answer is not "Who really cares?"!!!!!

I was really into them when I was young. Loved the cars, but a lot of the owners were a**holes

Siamesed cylinder bores, 4 bolt main bearing caps, main bearing diameter of 2.65" vs. 2.45" for other sbc, 5,565" connecting rods vs. 5.7 for other sbc and nodular iron crankshaft...that's 6 differences.

Pontiac had IROC in 96 and IROC ran the Firebird.

It was Pontiac. Wasn't it also the final body style until they went bankrupt?
