You probably know this, but I believe your 91 is a former One Lap of America car....

Kool video!
I'm a little leery of their 0-60
results for both cars.
Did my grandma
do the test driving?
Off by at least 1 and a half
seconds in both cases?
Even without "beating" on the cars they
should be better?

That's probably the only major pitfall in that whole great video. They tested 0-60 without actually wanting to know what the cars can do. Finding out maximum acceleration capacity requires to max out the material you're testing.
A car guy immediately recognizes that this test was run with precaution to avoid damage.
However I can imagine that there are a lot you folks out there who just memorize: "lame Corvette does 0.60 in more than 7 seconds. My old Hyundai can do better!".

HOWEVER - thanks to that video there will be a lot of old Hyundai dudes getting their butts slapped by lame corvettes, hahaha

It's a great video, I love it!

The stock ZR-1 0-60 time according to GM, as I recall, was 4.8 sec.--Bob
