It looks to me as if there was a preconceived notion that the Z-28 would be the out and out favorite. I suspect any of us who have driven a GM car of this period as well as our 928's see a bit wrong with this supposed test. The '83 928 shows either 234 hp for the American version and about 300 hp for the Euro version, and they report the Z-28 at 192 hp, yet it had better acceleration at only 30 pounds lighter? Somebody is telling stories and they don't make sense. They must have disconnected a couple of plug wire on the 928 and let their granny drive it. The Z 28 wallows all over the place and they say little while the 928 leans heavily per their comments? What they show while the 928 is allegedly leaning is a 928 proceeding pretty decently around a corner in a pose that looks very flat to me... I like Z-28's but I don't like biased reporting. Tell me some lies that are graceful enough I can pretend to believe them...
