You are a car enthusiast. And if they take the Plaid badge off, you would have no idea if a Model S is a Plaid or not, There is no way to know.

It feels like elementary school in here. Quick rule reminder while I clean up the last page. The ignore function is there for a reason.
Personal Attacks
While we encourage lively debates and discussions, we will not tolerate personal attacks of any kind. Any person attacking another forum member will receive a warning and may have their offensive posts removed. One more offense and the offending member will be permanently suspended from Club Lexus. Any member that physically threatens another member, vendor or moderator on Club Lexus will result in an immediate automatic suspension.
Repeated name calling and insults will not be tolerated. Members are certainly going to disagree from time-to-time, but the disagreement should be about the topic not the person posting. Please keep debates factual and constructive and keep in mind you can always ‘agree to disagree’ rather than enter into a heated argument.
Response to Comments
If you have a problem with another member's comments in a posted thread, do not respond with any further comments that will aggravate the situation. Reacting to a hostile post with more hostility also puts you in jeopardy, and puts you at risk for action against your account even if it was initially another member’s fault – it takes two to argue. Members have two options of recourse:
1) Email or private message the moderators of the forum in which the offensive comment is posted, directing them to the individual and thread in which the problem occurs. Use the "Notify a Moderator" button on the bottom of the offensive post to accomplish the same thing. Moderators will look into the issues and take the appropriate actions.
2) Resolve the problem between both of you via email or Private Message (PM).

In 68 FM radios were fairly rare; stereo was an expensive option. 2nd gear part throttle will get you sideways if you are not careful.
It has the wide ratio 4 speed and 3:36 posi. Mostly original. It was really rough when I got it. I sent it up to my BIL a few years back to finish the interior.
Here is the new soft top. This pic has the aftermarket 16x8 Chrome Ralleye wheels and 255/50/15 Comp TAs which make the car sit low...

1968 Corvette Convertible. I call it my "Plain Jane Roadster" because the only options are L36 427/390 engine and AM/FM Stereo.

What modern skid control systems can do is truly amazing. You're right, without that technology the Plaid would be a total death trap. Before I got my S Class I had a 2017 LS460L that was RWD, and it was amazing how with the skid control on, in the snow you could not make it break the rear end loose.

If memory serves, here are the 1968 ending options:
Base 327 300 HP L75
327 350 HP L79
Base 427 390 HP L36 - this is my car. A lot were sold. $200 option.
427 400 HP L68 - same as L36 except 3-2 barrel Holley carbs
427 435 HP 3-2 barrel Holley carbs L71
427 425 HP single Holley. This is the underrated L88 which was actually closer to 600 HP but was not advertised as such.

AM radios were in every car but AM/FM mono was an extra $170. AM/FM Stereo was a pricey option at $280.
