Agreed that really isn't an equal/fair comparison.
The SPRINT hit the ground running and everyone wanted to beat one up.
I have magazine Test by/from
GM,
Car Craft,
Motor Trend,
Super Stock & Drag Ill,
Car Life,
Road & Track,
High Per Cars,
Sports Car Graphic and Royal Pontiac.
They all came close with results.
Everything from 19.8 to 15.90 at 75 to 86.87 mph.
Royal did get a standing 1/4 mile down to 15.90 @ 86.87mph after numerous gear changes.
I found nothing lower then the 15.90.
Still one heck of a 6, I might get one
