And then 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Hardtop - Suspension, Handling & Price - First Drive & Road Test Review - Motor Trend
Quote:

The new-for-1999 Hardtop with its fixed roof makes for an even stiffer structure than its Coupe or Convertible siblings. As our test numbers bore this out, the Hardtop (which comes standard with the race-style Z51 suspension system) whipped through the 600-foot slalom at an average 68.1 mph, the quickest we've gotten out of a C5 Vette. On the other hand, the improved structural rigidity did nothing to enhance straight-line performance. The 0-60-mph time of 4.8 seconds was identical for both cars and the quarter-mile times were actually better for the Coupe (13.2 seconds at 109.6 mph versus 13.3 at 108.6).

My question is why are we making times same as a c5 vette with 350 hp 360 lb-ft and weighing less th an us?
