There have been so many cars past and present that have been dubbed “performance” models and they are just slow and crap. So lets list some !
List the specs and the years it was produced.
05-07 Chevrolet cobalt SS 2.4- 173 hp 163tq. Why would they dub this an “ss” slow crap.
Honda civic si EP3- 160hp 132lbtq. Lmao how is that performance a base cobalt has more than that.
88-92 Camaro z28/irocz- 5.0 v8 only make from 170-205hp lol like what it has a 5.0 v8 how did they get such little hp from an engine. The tq was between 255 and 285 but still laughable.
Add your people ! I want to see what else is bad !
I would agree with the ep3 just because of the previous EM2 si and that the rsx was better same year and not as “prestigious”
I think you have to take into the consideration the era and other cars in that class
305 Camaro wasn’t that bad.
The C4 Corvette was a piece of shit though. Styling, ride quality and motor. But again it was the “start” of that type of vehicle (f.i v8) . But comparing the following c5 and the looks of the c3 you just have to wonder
It was fast enough for it’s class back in the 80’s (7.5 to 0-60, high 15’s 1/4 mile). It was considerably faster than the MR2 and CRX-SI that were it’s main competitors.
Gotta throw the C3 Vette on the list. 1982 with 190HP, 0-60 of 7.9 and a 1/4 of 16.1 @ 85mph for America’s “premier” sports car?
