Default PT Cruiser beats 1982 Ferrari and 1980 Corvette

FYI

The stock PT Cruiser GT Turbo with an Autostick transmission does 0-60 in 6.7 seconds. http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/reviews/rt2210a.shtml
(Manual transmission would be faster)

The 1982 Ferrari 308 GTB/Si Quattrovalvole (assume it's manual transmission) does it in 6.8 seconds. The PT Cruiser wins!

From that same link we see the following 0-60 times:
1983 Ferrari Mondial QV - 7.6 sec
1982 Porsche 944 does it in an even slower - 7.2 sec

From this other link we find the following numbers:
http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html
A 1980 Chevrolet Corvette L82 7.4 15.4
A 1989 Nissan Maxima SE - 8.9 sec.
A 1993 Jaguar XJS Coupe - 7.8 sec.
A 1967 Ford Mustang (390ci V8 w/4spd) - 7.4 sec.
A 1994 Ford Mustang Cobra - 6.9 sec.
A 1987 Chevy IROC-Z - 6.8 sec.

All beaten by our little family station wagon. Try fitting a load of lumber in any of those others though. LOL

Got any more to add?
