Thanks, good read. Nothing too surprising, but it's always nice to peek into the past.
Reading it currently.
What's a West Coast P.O.E. sticker that the author mentioned in the article about the Porsche?
I'm guessing it has to do with importation of the car.
I sense a long thread coming...
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
I truly hope this doesn't turn out to be another "Corvette ZR1 vs. 997 Turbo yo" thread, but from the 1970's...
Anyway, thanks for sharing Fleet, 'twas a nice read.

that's what she said
i quite like that shape of corvette. what power does it really make under today's measurements?
Andreas Preuninger, Manager of Porsche High Performance Cars: "Grandmas can use paddles. They aren't challenging."
Keep in mind, there were more exotic Corvettes out there as well. ZL1s rocked aluminum 427s with weight reduction and were good for a claimed 430 hp gross, but actually about 500-550 gross hp, what that is in net hp is still a huge amount more than basically any other car around.
Tuned and toyed with ZL1s on slicks could tun the quarter mile in just under 10.9 seconds - mind you these were not stock. Suffice to say, ZL1s were fast. Very fast. Only two factory Corvettes have gone faster so far, the Z06 ran a faster 10.8 and a one off beast with a prototype 454 LT1 enigne that kissed 10.6 supposedly.
Corvettes are sick.
