There is nothing wrong with the power and speed that comes from modern LS-whatever powered Corvettes…except that there was a time when Chevrolet let you shove a big-block in the front. It probably added enough weight to make handling trash, but C3 generation Corvette’s aren’t known for Lotus style handling.
