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.
 
I would still rock a C4. Just because everything that has come out in the past 5-6 years is fast doesn't mean a C4 cannot be fun.
 
I honestly started considering C4s when i was looking for a DD recently. I really needed a back seat though. You can get them cheap! I also much prefer the C4 seating position to C5/6. No fucks were given as too how hard it was for some old guy to get in and out of those.

I was just thinking this the other day after I saw some douchebag driving one.
My rule with a C4 is you can't think you're cool because you're driving it.
