Now, before you start a flaming war claiming you know best, close to 25 years have gone by since the debut of the most powerful Corvette. During that time, many journalists and car people have had plenty of time to compare the ZR1 C4 Corvette to many other fast cars from the time period. Of course, there\u2019s always the fact that at the time, the Corvette was America\u2019s only true production sports car. It\u2019s only natural.
