- I second that - you definitely should be checking out an LT1 Vette. It'll
- accelerate with any of them, and handle better than anything but the RX-7.
- Plus, it has adjustable suspension, and a pretty nice interior...
- Given the choice, I'd actually buy the RX-7. It *is* the ultimate sports
- car!
