Per il 1988 :

Third was America’s world-class sports car, the Chevy Corvette, at 156 mph. We’ve run the Vette at top speed each year since 1985, and the results are remarkably consistent. The Corvette’s high-speed manners remain impeccable; it’s absolutely stable – it can be driven anywhere on the track without compromising its stability – and even at top speed, it feels like it’s loafing. This sensation is due, in part, to the slow-turning 350-cu-in. V8, which at speed is only doing 4400 rpm. The digital speedometer displays a dead accurate 156 mph, and the tach display reads 44 at 100.
