Fastest 30k coupe's

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

Nice, but I love how they used the LT rather than the LS. Makes the top Genesis look better.. Should have noted that all 6cyls have 304.
Oh well, at least we're the best bang for the buck, and that's good enough for me. |

That was pretty stupid. "Fastest" is a misnomer. They were ranked by horsepower only and had nothing to do with speed.
