With the L34 engine, the 1966 Chevelle Super Sport to go from 0 to 60 mph in 7.9 seconds and do the quarter mile in 15.5 seconds according to Motor Trend magazine.

It was rated at 375 horse power and was basically the same 396 cubic inch engine as the L34 but it came with a hotter cam and a higher compression ratio. The extra horsepower allowed to Chevelle to do 0 to 60 in about 6.5 seconds.
