Some corvette info

[squib]

For those into Corvettes, this might be of interest. I came across these UK magazine test times. I think they show what a showroom car can do. Since they were export cars, it's unlikely they were enhanced for magazine testing .


'82 TBI 350

1968 L68 427 4 speed 0-60 6.1 seconds top speed 145 mph (Motor)
1984 TBI Automatic 0-60 7 seconds top speed 139 mph (Motor)
1984 TBI Automatic 0-60 7.2 seconds top speed 138 mph (Fast Lane)
1984 TBI Automatic 0-60 6.6 seconds top speed 142 mph (Autocar)
1986 TPI Stick 0-60 6 seconds top speed 151 mph (Autocar)
1989 ZR-1 (380 hp) 0-60 5.6 seconds (Autocar)
1992 LT1 Automatic 0-60 5.8 seconds top speed 162 mph (Performance Car)

The LT1 car did a 14.3 second 1/4 mile at 100 mph in wintery conditions. The ZR-1 beat the 1986 car in 30-70 mph acceleration 4.5 to 6.3 seconds.

One day in the distant future someone will be looking for this exact information and come across it here, on a website about large penises. Or someone on LPSG will read this thread via the search function in 20 years time, and be amazed, and send you a personal message about it.

You are just skeptical of the value of the content @swoon because you always knew the ZR-1 was the best.

Alas, I am completely car-blind.

The long term return on investment for a lot of classic sports cars (or even just notable cars) is insane.

Puts antiques and comic books to shame

That's VERY long term, because in the short term and standard long term, a car of any kind is merely a depreciating asset.

Oh yeah, I was meaning more parking it in a garage with a sheet over it for decades

According to the Terms of Service, we should not be speaking of automatics — only stick shifts, squib. Just a heads up.

Dunno, a long as they keep making James Bond movies....I don't see little autos like this one depreciating much...
