I'm also stating that the old fuelie 'Vettes aren't fast cars by modern standards; a new, bone stock V6 Camry would give any bone stock "fuelie" 'Vette a real good run.

Nearly half a century has passed since the first 327 Fuelies hit the streets. Huge technological advancements have taken place during that period.

ah the old "Joe pro"...gotta love em'. I also assume that you would rather have a V6 camry as opposed to a split window 'fueli' as well? You don't have to tell me about fast cars my friend...I have family, friends and I myself, have raced cars. Get a grip....go quote some more Road & Track.

And any day of the week when you'd like....I'll invite you to join me at LRP and race my e30 M3 against your vette. That'd be a hoot to see you get your ass wiped in a car that's 20 years older with 20 years of better technology.

The E30 M3 (192 HP, 4 cylinder in a 2,900 pound car) is a slow car my modern standards...They also had handling issues due to their semi-trailing arm rear suspensions.

They required roughly 19 seconds to run from 0 - 100 MPH, while a new LS3 Corvette will do it in roughly 9 seconds flat. The 'Vette also as much larger brakes, superior suspension geometry and a lot more rubber. Top end is 190 MPH.

A new LS3 'Vette will run with a new M3; comparing a 20+ year old, 4 cylinder E30 M3 to either of them is ludicrous.

Ludicrous? How about this...I have connections at LRP. I will get them to open the track and I will give you 5 seconds. You beat me...I'll give you my 2.5L Evo spec M3 and if I beat you....I'll take your vette. I am not all afraid to put my money where my mouth is. AAMOF, I will have your car trailored for you at my cost and give you a limo ride to LRP. Just make sure to have plans on how you want to get home afterwards. Are you game....I'll make some calls and get it set up?
