This is a 1980s corvette(even if it didn't go on sale until fall 1989 as a 1990 model).

I was referring to the mid 80's C3, which was doing 18 second quarter mile times, and could be easily dispatched by a 70's Caprice station wagon (replete with fake wood sides).

18 second quarter mile Vette ? Even my 78 L48 was quicker than that. It was still slow but managed low 16's stock.

C3's were from 1968 to 1982

The mid 80's were the start of the C4 and were quicker than my C3...they were good for 14's I'm pretty sure.
