* Condition of the vehicle: A meticulously maintained and restored L82 will perform better than one that's been neglected.
* Modifications: Any aftermarket parts (exhaust, intake, etc.) will significantly impact performance.
* Driver skill: A skilled driver will likely achieve higher speeds than a novice.
* Road conditions: Factors like uphill grades, wind, and road surface affect acceleration and top speed.
However, we can give you some general estimates. A stock, well-maintained 1978 Corvette L82 could reasonably achieve a 0-60 mph time in the low-to-mid 6-second range, and a top speed somewhere in the 120-130 mph range. Keep in mind these are estimations, and real-world results could vary. Factory specs were often optimistic, and real-world performance is typically a bit lower.
