What's Faster?
My '83 SC seems pretty quick to me, though I bow to many more modern cars, many of which are quicker now. And I've heard all about how Corvettes are Porsche-beaters in the acceleration category (930s and Turbos excluded).
On the other hand, performance cars, and particularly Corvettes, were a little on the sluggish side in the late '70s. Here's my question: How did my car stack up against other cars mfg'd in 1983? I can imagine there were exotic sports cars considerably quicker, but did the 1983 SC accelerate quicker than the 1983 Corvette? Were there any non-exotic cars (for example, RX-7 and Datsun Z-cars) that were quicker than the SC? How did my car stack up at that time?
FWIW: I don't street race much, but I needed a lane recently and drew swords with a hotrod Honda. The Honda was not a match for my baby. I know the newer Mustangs are popular prey for you Carrera guys, and I wonder if they'd be more evenly matched to my SC. This should start some discussion.
