According to the R&T guide to sports cars, 1982, times are as follows: Coupe 0-60 is 6.7, cabrio is 7.0. Coupe 1/4 mile is 15.3, cabrio is 15.5

C&D's 1980 test car (Coupe) ran 0-60 in 6.0, 1/4 mile in 14.7 at 93 or 94 mph.

This is the performance section of a road test from the August 1980 issue of "Car and Driver"




The whole article, in a 1.7MB Adobe Acrobat file can be found <a href="http://members.rennlist.com/emcon5/cd-80sc.pdf" target="_blank">Here.</a>

I would like to give credit to the person who scanned it, but I found it on the web somewhere, and can't remember where.

Hope this helps,

Tom

Oops -- 92 mph in the quarter mile. I'm pretty sure that C&D got an SC to 94 in the 1/4 mile, perhaps in the '82 comparison test (308, DeLorean, Vette, 280Z . . .).
