Re: Race mellan 1965 Pontiac 2+2 och Ferrari

Nej, det stämmer! Catalinan var preppad av Royal Pontiac och hade inte originaldäck, men likväl så höll rekordet på 3.9sek för 0-60mph länge. Har för mig att det var först på 90-talet en serietillverkad bil spurtade 0-60 snabbare...

"65 2+2 421 HO (376 hp) 4-speed, 4.11 posi 13.8 @ 106 mph

Addtl times: 0-30 mph : 1.7 sec, 0-60 mph : 3.9 sec, 0-100 mph : 12.0 sec

Options: P/B, P/S Wt : 4155 (curb) 4400 (test) Magazine : CD (3/65)

Notes: Royal Pontiac prepared, but preparation unknown. Tires were 8.55x14 Firestone (non-stock). Royal Pontiac representatives were present, but did not drive. Car was tested against a Ferrari 330/GT 2+2 with a V-12 engine. The 0-60 time listed above of 3.9 seconds was a milestone mark as it was quoted as the fastest 0-60 mph time for a production car (on street tires) for decades to come. Car was tested on a cold day (44 degrees). The 2+2 was 1/3 the price of the Ferrari, and defeated it on the dragstrip, and was within 1 second on the road course. The magazine testers were extremely impressed with the 2+2."
