LOL, yeah, there were some years there when the manufacturers were just trying to get V8's to pass emissions and run, period. Hardly the glory years for performance cars.

Buick finally some pretty nice cars together in 86-87, still very respectable by even today's standards. And they didn't need 8 cylinders to do it.Then a similarly motivatedTrans Am(faster than the Buicks) came out only for 89.
Callaway made a few twin turbo Corvettes in the late 80s, low 13s atover 100 (uberfast for thetime)but krazy expensive. Then the ZR-1 was released in 1990. Also for hellacash.

Wait, I thought that there was no such thing as a 1983 Corvette. I could be wrong though.
+1 Tommy you are correct.... ROTM made a comment that the only Corvette the OP would beat is a 1983 Vette...I played along with it...(adding a hidden message that I have yet to see one on the street..)
