It makes sense, a corvette is a big hefty american car, and the Alfetta is a lightweight little spriter. The big american V8 took a long time to spool up, and once it did the Alfetta was 30feet down the track, the tiny four banger, probably with a tiny aluminum flywheel, can get its power down. And finally the corvette left its 500bhp on the asphalt, you could hear it.
