Not Ranked
The Corvette, whether it be pre '63 or post '62, came in at around 3,000 lbs. plus or minus. Big problem with the Stingray was the aerodynamics. It had none. Pretty looking shape but unstable above 150 mph. Not a contender against the Daytona.
IRS in '63; disc brakes in '65 for the Corvette. The Chevy advantage was the SB engine. I love the 289 but the SB Chev in 327 form was a better engine, hands down.
