132 mph, much more believable. Good speed though http://www.sells.freeserve.co.uk/information/technical/73sd455.htm

[Talentless]

well veni veni venias.

 

[slip2rock]

i forgot the daddy..... AC Cobra!

That bugger got us our 70mph speed limit.... grrrrrr.

 

[psonefreak]

IMO, 4-4-2s were the best looking, then Trans Am.

Anyone remember the older Pontiac Lemans?

my friend has an early 90's model... it looks like a Cavilier now..

 

[slip2rock]

What year was the mach 1 about in? the one before they went and put emission controls on it and smothered the poor thing!

 

[Talentless]

I must respectfully disagree. Btw, have you seen examples of all Firebird models?

 

[Talentless]

68 or 69 was the first year

And it's an old (~1970) Pontiac? Really mean-looking? That's gotta be a GTO. Nice choice! :thumbsup:


OT: For those who don't like or appreciate Mustangs, Camaros, etc., you are just too young. (Well, that or you like Alfa's too much.) You simply did not see how amazing these cars were back then. Stupendous performance, real driving character, and a sound that is more felt through your spine rather than heard. The F&F crowd would have you believe that large turbos grafted onto a 2.0L 4-pot or 3.2L V6 can -- eventually -- out do some old school -- and similarly modded up -- Mustang. You're forgetting one crucial fact:

The fastest imports in the drag racing scene are V8-engined "cars".

actually its the 3rd generation rotary engine: twin-turbo Rx7

1964 - The AC Cobra caused a sensation by racing along the M1 motorway at 183 mph (293 Km/h) , leading to questions being raised in Parliament. Two AC Cobras were entered in the Le Mans 24 Hour Race, the AC entry was the first British car to finish. By now, the 427 AC Cobra had the distinction of being listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest production car in the world, a title which it held for several years. ( Beat that you McF1 lovers!! )

1965 - Shelby wins The Sports Car World Championship. Following the previous years motorway sprint, a 70 mph legal speed limit was introduced.

The AC Cobra 427 is part of motorsport mythology, not least for the fact that it became virtually synonymous with the 0 to 100mph to 0 test. The test began back in the Fifties when Aston Martin caught the public imagination by claiming that its then top car could complete the 0-100-0 test in less than 30 seconds. Once the AC Cobra 427 arrived on the scene expatriate Englishman Ken Miles recreated the test on Californian concrete, achieving - with a standard model with no special preparation and narrow Goodyear tyres - an amazing 13.2 seconds, according to independent witnesses. To this day, those who try this test in exotic supercars have a hard time getting near this figure - even though they have the benefit of state-of-the-art tyres and equipment.

"...Theres nothing like the way in which a big-block wakes and only a WW2 warbird's Pratt and Whitney radial can rivel that sleepy eruption of power. Hit the starter button and you can feel those fat pistons slide up and compress the mixture. It takes several revolutions - humper...humper...humper - before it suddenly fires and there's and avalanche of sound down the sidepipes..."

Yes, I like Cobras. But if I couldnt get a Cobra I would settle for a Mustang or a T-Bird anyday.
