While I'm not sure whether the 928S is the most powerful street-legal
car this year, here are some of the specs:

Power(SAE net)	234 bhp@5500 rpm
0-60		6.2 sec
0-100		17.8 sec
Standing 1/4 mi	14.7 sec@94 mph
Top Speed	144 mph
Roadholding	.80 g (282-ft-dia. skidpad)
Price		$43,000+

Compare this with the new (as yet unavailable) '1984' Corvette:

Power(SAE net)	205 bhp@4300 rpm
0-60		6.7 sec
0-100		20.0 sec
Standing 1/4 mi	15.2 sec@90mph
Top Speed	138 mph
Roadholding	.90 g (200-ft-dia. skidpad) [wow!]
Price		$25,000+ (est)

Note:  These figures from March '83 "Car and Driver"
