Careful now, lol. In 1985 one of the performance mags did a head to head to
find the "fastest"
production car. Of course the Corvette won hands down over all even after
Chevrolet made them put a roll cage in the car and locked out 6th gear on
the tranny, the Camaro IROC nudged out the Pontiac Firebird for 2 nd place,
and forth place went to the Buick Grand National, which beat the Firebird
for top end, but got beat bad in the 1/4 mile, but the big surprise was the
Dodge Omni GLH whooped the 5.0 Ford Mustang, not just on top end, but in the
1/4 mile as well.. A couple years later the Omni was gone, as was the Grand
National, but the big upset winners were both GM trucks, the Cyclone, and
the Typhoon, which almost beat the damn Corvette in the 1/4 mile.
