Exactly...
As many drivers (on the road) found out to their cost when it tried to kill them.
The 427's (7.0litre) versions were in the Guiness Book Of Records as the fastest accelerating (standard) producion car for years
Being pedantic, that should really be 'Out Of The Corners', not 'through' (unless you want to really scare yourself :lol:
From memory, a 427 will do;
0-60 = 4.1
0-100 = 8.8
0-110-0 in about 12.5
165MPH
The 289's not hat much slower, & the 'Dragon-Snake' (drag-racing special) accelerates even quicker
Alright it's a stonking great big V8, BUT, there's no fancy gimmicks to aid traction (either for acceleration, or braking) & it was also in the mid-60's

Ever seen 'Gumball Rally', with te Cobra 427 & the 'rag-top' Daytona?
the sequence of racing & pirouetting in the Los Angeles storm drains (as used in one of the 'Terminator' films) is simply exquisite
--- Quote from: "Bulli" ---My problem with Swordfish, and for that matter lots of films, is the stupid car chase. Sorry but ive seen TVRs and big american SUV's cant keep up with them for 10 yards let alone a 5 minute chase.

Yes, I can quite safely say that 165MPH in the wet in a Sagaris, is both intoxicating & scary
:(scared): :(biglove):

That was on Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, with the cars owner driving
(ie; LOTS of run-off space)
