!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ’s last post prompted some Googling and I found this.

!!! UNSUPPORTED LINE BREAK IN HEADER !!!

But things do change, have changed, and 1970s technology has created a new kind of sports car: cars that go faster, handle better, and treat the driver better.

Looks like the 924 wins. Having owned one this exact year, I can’t disagree. It was fun! Unfortunately for me, the only other car I’ve driven in this bunch is the RX-7.

Okay, sorry, but I’m going to have to call bullshit there. I’m sure the 924 is a fun car, but there’s no way its more fun than an L82 ‘Vette, in my opinion.

They had this to say about the Vette:

Our sixth participant was included because it seemed like a good idea more than anything else. Going in, we knew the L82 Corvette was both outclassed and beneath its class in this group. No way could any of the other five hope to match the Vette’s performance. A hundred more horsepower will do that for you. And also, no way could the antiquated Vette hope to be the equal of the newcomers when it comes to the advantages in ride and handling that sophisticated engineering can produce. But a Corvette is a sports car, and we’ll double Sherman’s annual contribution to the Police Benevolent Association if a Corvette isn’t fun to drive.

and

The Corvette may not be the most sophisticated in suspension, but with all that power it was fun to drive and not surprisingly the quickest around Willow. Throwing a belt and overheating didn’t win any friends for it, however.

I see a line of cars and I want the Corve-ette.

For those that don’t get it.

Look like they got it right. Thje cars with pop-up headlights took the top 3 spots, while the ones that didn’t took the bottom three slots.
