The performance available in cars these days is staggering. I'm in my early 30's and remember when anything that could do 0-60 around 5 seconds was a beast. When the F40 and Diablo were top dogs at 478hp and 492hp I remember being amazed. Now the least horsepower you can get from the Corvette is 460hp. Clearly the F40 is a whole different beast, but the gains in the "everyday" cars is stunning. I'd be perfectly happy getting a C5 Z06, but the Corvette continues to elevate it's bang for the buck.
