Promised I'd post this as soon as I found it... it's an article comparing cars from the Sept. 1984 Playboy including the '85 Vette. Enjoy






I'm trying to get a larger version onto PB, I'll post them as links later if it works...

edit: here's the links to bigger versions

I find it interesting to read old articles such as this one. I find it pretty cool that the vette can take on just about any of those rich people cars and beat them all, except for the Lambo.

I think that's what they were going for when my wife found it I went to the TOC and looked at the titles and didn't see anything car related, so I figured it was the wrong issue... then I flipped through it a couple days later and found the article

Funny how times change, those #s were great then, especially the Lambo. Now mine will spank it!

I like how at the end of the Vette paragraph it says "wave as you go by".
