Coincidentally, I was looking at an old Road & Track the other day, they had a performance test with a 911SC, a Delorean, Ferrari 308, etc. They tested and timed everything: Acceleration, braking, slalom, road course, etc. I'll post it up for you tonight.
Yeah, it's been my experience that this guy talks awefully big, but I wanted to be sure before I persisted also.

Please post the article if you wouldn't mind! I forgot to ask but would be very intereted. Love those original road test articles.
