Is this a choice?
The men who drove the Corvette Grand Sport tell it best.
Roger Penske: "It was so light at the front end that when you really stood on the gas, the front end would come off the ground like a dragster."
Ben Moore: "When I first drove this vibrating, reverberating monster through the pits, I knew this feeling was completely unproduction-like."
Delmo Johnson: "Brute horsepower…the only car I ever drove that would lift the wheels off the ground in all four gears."
And said A.J. Foyt as he was passed by a Grand Sport: "What's in that dinosaur? It went by me like I was stopped."
The Grand Sport was the "Never-never" Corvette, a lightweight, muscle-bound factory special racer. Mounted with a 427 ci. big-block Daytona Mystery Motor, detuned to 500 bhp, it was designed to blow the hoods off Shelby Cobra's. If the Ferrari's and Ford GT40's were also left in the dust, so much the better.

If I remember correctly I think those cars also used a custom all aluminum frame to dramatically reduce weight.
I'm also sure the 'Daytona' mystery motors were put together by Smokey Yunick, a long time Shelby rival and a friend of the family.

Yep, light weight and monster motor - great combination. If you are going to dream - may as well know a little history too.
