There was this very cool and informative site at www.automobile-catalog.com.
The site had a complete Catalog of Cars going many years back with a car specs database. You could compare all of the specs of up to 5 cars simultaneously but it doesn't seem to be up any longer. I spent hours on this site over the years and am quite sure someone or a group of people spent tons of hours researching, uploading and building the site.

The other variable is the axle ratio - that could make a big difference.

I was able to get this site to come up and very informative. Downside is it's full of pop up ads.

Hard to beat an L88 or a 426 Hemi. I would prefer an L88 even over a ZL1 if I had the choice of either one.

All this time I thought the track announcer was just mispronouncing "Brighton" Mich.
