The 10 Quickest Cars of the 1970’s

Below is a link to a Car and Driver article from 2015 that ranked the quickest cars of the 1970s.

The Porsche Family did quite well.

Corvette was 3rd, at 5.3 seconds 0-60.

78 911 turbo was tied for first place at 4.9 seconds... but what was it tied with??

Was also wondering about that tie.

Funny how the 454 Corvette would overheat so easily.

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.

yeah tied with nothing? There was no doubt about it, the turbo was in a class of it's own in the '70s.

And why did the 930 get two spots in the top 10? Was the 79 car that much slower than the 78?

An 'umble SC sharing spots with a V12 e-type and a pre-malaise Pantera? They really were quick for their day.
