84 vette outperforms all other production vehicles of the same year? I'm not buying it..Push an 84 into a corner see where you end up, that era of vettes was particularly ****************ty, I drove a couple I know.


BTW 1984...Lambo specs

Lamborghini Mid-Engine 5 litre V-12 with 6 two barrel carbs, putting out 375 horses.
