Ugh, I will miss the convention center. Nicest part of town by far and an easy walk to all the hotels and attractions of South Beach, Lincoln Rd, Ocean Dr. Big mistake IMHO.
It would be close. At 200mph average speed for the Corvette, it would take 4.5s to cover the 1/4 mile. So yes any run under 4.5s would pass the Corvette. Amazing.
I still have the mid 80s Powerboat issue that covered the "new" Merc 420 and 575 engines. They liked them both except the price. The 420 replaced the 400 cyclone and 440.
