On the 1992 Corvette..."We didn't think there was room for improvement."



Good videos though!

Wow, I will never complain about car prices ever again. The 370z actually costs less than the 300zx comparing dollar to dollar, and then you consider inflation. Amazing.
So cool to see these vids though, I grew up loving these cars but wasn't old enough at the time to see these reviews. Awesome.

^No. The Supra and VR-4 were mid 13 sec. cars. The 300ZX typically runs high 13s stock. Not even sure how they got it to get the fasted 0-60. The VR-4 owns that dept. with the Supra passing over about 80-100 MPH. None of the car mags knew how to launch AWD, in that video, they bogged the launch (Stealth). I used to pull 1.7 60's in my stock VR-4.

Only because one of 2 reasons: there was something wrong with the Supra or they couldn't get it hooked up properly. The Supra was a solid low-13-sec car at ~107mph, not low 14 at 104. In terms of acceleration, in this order: Supra > GT > ZX > RX7. In terms of driving dynamics: RX7 ruled all.

Oh, Motorweek/Autoweek has always been the one to get the slowest times out of all automotive magazines, even today.
