Re: Cool Read..
I love this quote and absolutely agree w it even today.
"This machine illustrates the incessant battle between the great and the goofy at Chevrolet. The 32-valve V-8 is nothing short of heroic, an engine to be reckoned with anywhere."

Re: Cool Read..
best part of the article is missing, the actual test results. Its was a hot day so all of the cars struggled. The ZR-1 ran the quarter at 13.4 @109....but if you look at the time to 130 MPH, the ZR-1 is there 5 seconds before the next closest car; 9+ seconds faster than the Porsche or Ferrari
