Sounds like they've improved the speed, but what about handling and
reliabilityelse? I remember driving a friends mid 80's Camaro through the
mountains and it was like driving a yacht. He had many problems with it and as
big as the car was, it was next to impossible to fit adults in the back seat.
That vs. a Mustang LX 5.0 that we rented for 2 weeks, I'll take the Mustang.
Lot's of power, good handling and lots of room inside. Of course, I'll take my
Corvette over all of them, but there's a lot more to a street car than making
it go fast down a quarter mile.
