This Corvette wasn't even close to fast compared to old Alfa Romeo who ever run on Tskuba. They were same like Vette, having a modern part but still has original specs from the day they were still a new car. Among them there was a Giulia Sprint GTA and Sprint Speciale who set time 1:13.52 and 1:13.53. That's the only standard old Alfa that I knew because most of them were modified by their owner for classic track day race.

Seeing this car reminds me of the beginning sequence in the movie "Heavy Metal". If you haven't seen this wonderful animated film from 1981, I heartily recommend it. It starts with a classic Corvette like this being launched from a space shuttle to do a re-entry on a planet. Cool, and with groovy music.
