Performance Stats

 

I found this information on the internet.  The stats are reportedly taken from road tests done by Road & Track, Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Corvette News, Hot Rod, and Chevrolet.  The low results have been attributed by some to have been caused by poor drivers and conditions.  You may notice a big horsepower drop between 1971 and 1972, that's because the way HP is calculated was changed during that time period.
