- What about a 67 L88 vette? Or any of the injected small block
- or carbed big block vettes? Their brakes were 4 wheel disk with multiple
- pistons for every caliper. These could stop faster than almost ANYTHING
- made since then (except for newer vettes and porsches). They could waste
- any jap econobox on any kind of road course, or any other race for that
- matter. I'm pretty sure it could beat the 300zx in the slalom. As far as
- suspension goes, how does 4 wheel independent grab you? There were some
- American Muscle cars fo the day that had that feature that was "foreign"
- to the Japanese until recently. How about 0-100-0? No car has ever beat
- the cobra's sub 13 second performance in that. Check your facts before
- you go shooting your mouth off next time.
