Any into old road test scans?

How embarrassing that a normally aspirated 1980 Carrera beats our brz/frs.

4.6 to 60 in a 911 Turbo back then must of been nuts.

The funny thing is also the tire sizes. Look at the test sheet for the Miura, the rears were 225's wide tires on 350BHP. That's nuts...
The Miura even had a 0-60 of 5.5 seconds in 1987.

Do you mean the 1983 911SC Cabriolet? It looks almost dead-even to me, with the FR-S pulling hard on the top-end.

0-60: 6.4 s
1/4 mile: 14.8 s @ 92 mph
0-100: 19.5 s

Versus the FR-S as tested by C&D:

0-60: 6.4 s
1/4 mile: 14.9 s @ 95 mph
0-100: 16.6 s

FR-S gets to 100 mph nearly 3 seconds quicker.
