Here's one that's still on-line. C&D 7/84 - Best Handling Cars - Supra vs Ferraris & Porsches
I found the lap-times for that 7/84 C&D article on FerrariChat:
http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/30...84-car-driver-comparison-including-308-a.html
1. Lotus Esprit Turbo 87.1 MPH 1:43.3s
2. Ferrari 308 QV euro 86.8 MPH 1:43.7s
3. Porsche 911 Carrera 86.7 MPH
4. Porsche 928S 85.1 MPH
5. Porsche 944 84.4 MPH 1:46.6s
6. Audi Quattro 82.8 MPH
7. Toyota Celica Supra 81.5 MPH 1:50.4s
8. Honda Prelude 78.8 MPH 1:54.2s
Interesting that the top 4 best-handling cars in that comparison had slowest times at Willow Springs. Goes to show that pure speed isn't all there is to handling. Feel and control makes it easier to get car to its limits, and more fun too!
That article was motivation for me to get Porsche 944 TurboS (951) when it came out in 1987. It can do Willow Springs in 1:41 on old Pirelli P7s. I got down to 1:35 with minor engine, suspension mods and wheels/tyres.
