I have heard rumors that Chevrolet is once again jumping on the performance
bandwagon. The rumor states that the 1984 Corvette will be a turbo and
will be the fastest production auto. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Does this include the Porshe 944 turbo?

The 944 turbo isn't out yet, but I suspect it'll have quite a ways to go
before it's the fastest production car.  It'll have to conquer the 911 turbo
(a/k/a 930), the Lamborghini Countach, the Ferrari 512BB, etc., etc..  The
same would apply to a Corvette turbo; I remember hearing rumors quite a
while back about a 928 5 liter turbo, which would also give the aforementioned
a run for their money.
