No KIDDING! By slalom #'s the Beretta GTZ should be in SS.
December 1991 Motor Trend had the Beretta GTZ at 68.4 MPH if my fellow Beretta
owners served me correctly. ;^)
Sorry had to brag. Too bad it doesn't seem to add up like it does on paper when
I'm driving one. Maybe a national driver could campaign one? ;^)
Does anyone have the #'s from Road & Track for the Beretta GTZ?
