This is true but keep in mind it took the corvette some time to catch up to the japanese sports cars in the early nineties

300zx twin turbo
Supra turbo
rx7 turbo
3000GT Vr-4
Dodge Stealth

Supra and RX7 had their advantages, but the 300zx and especially the 3000GT? I don't know about that.

The 3000GT vr-4 was/is capable of running 13.0-13.6 ( driver depending ) with $0 dollars spend on performance, this is dating back to 1991. With a downpipe, air filter and boost controler ( about 180 in parts ) it is capable of 12.6

Keep in mind these numbers are all while cutting 1.6-1.7s all day long ( track or street ). Whether you are a fan of AWD or not you can not deny that it CAN have its advantages
