Times have changed. An NHRA record holder with an et in the 14's AND 185 hp. Things are a bit' just a bit, quicker now.
That's real nice Fred. What was your inspiration for the colour? Fred says "Tarpaulen Blue", why do you ask?
I would have guessed in the 16's for 185 pushing that size of a boat...
Never said it was true, just reading what's painted on the car, then again you can't believe everything you read (LOL)
Went and looked up the NHRA record for Q/Stock. NHRA has changed much with their stock classes and oddly this information is not dated. This is supposed to be the current record for Q/Stock. The 13.65 is for automatic transmissions the 13.80 for manuals. The 8.62 and 8.71 are 1/8 mile runs. The 17.00 pounds per horsepower seems to give this car a light weight of 3145 pounds or so based on 185 advertised stock horsepower. I think this is why back in the day models like sedan deliveries were popular because they had nothing inside them but two seats.
Q/S | 17.00 lbs/hp | 13.65 | 13.80 | 8.62 | 8.71 |
looks like a one and a half car garage (LOL)
This car may have been posted before, but still worth seeing again......just ask Ron Howard or Charles Martin Smith eh!
