1981 Corvette - 17 seconds @ 82mph according to a Road & Track test. Wonder what the reaction time was? :lol:

It could be worse, just think if you had one of the California mandated 305 cid motors!

p.s. Actually the times would have probably been a lot lower if they used slicks. Perhaps slicks off a Schwinn or a Huffy! Seriously though, the car has all the makings of a solid, fast, comfortable beast. Just look at Neil Carboni's car, AWSOME!

Well my old tired out 81 is close .
16.448 Seconds at 83.86 MPH.
The only mods are a Hypertec Chip, K&N Air filter and a Test pipe eliminating the Cat Plus a B&M Shift Kit
The rest all stock and 72,000 Miles on the odometer.
