With a coil spring front suspension and an L88 engine prepped by Zora Arkus-Duntov smuggled out the back door to circumvent GM’s ban on racing, the L88 was driven at the 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans by Henri Greder and Umberto Maglioli. The car dominated the Porsches and led the GT class until the 6th hour when a carburetion problem melted a piston.

It "dominated the Porsches" until it grenaded after six hours? Doesn't seem like much domination to me.
