some early 1900's Ford (read Motor Trend, Nov. 2002, First's) took 72 seconds to go to 60! I can't even imagine that.
Lingenfelter TT Corvette, built for Steve Dumler ~ O-60 : 1.97sec, 1/4mi. : 9.24sec@150.5mph
=============================================
1970 Buick 455 GS ~ 1/4mi. : 13.38sec@105mph, as tested by Motor Trend. With todays tire tech, it's around 12.2sec@120mph.
=============================================

=============================================
Buick GSX ~ out of the 600(some) GSX's produced from March to May in 1970, about 100(some) were Apollo White, the rest, Solar Yellow. Today, about 118 still exist, and out of those, only 12 have the original paint.

Ok even though it doesn't say its top speed, I'd estimate it to be 75mph max. That is pretty pathetic considering the v16. I would like to see that car you are talking about too. And I don't read car mag's.

72 seconds is good though because that was a land speed record then

72 seconds!?!? I'm suprised that they could get to 60, seriously. almost all cars from that era couldn't get to 40.

The Model T couldn't even hit 60 mph, but it didn't matter back then. The roads in the cities were crowded, and the roads outside the cities were mud. Plus, the brakes weren't that great.

shit man it was made in the early thirties
most cars toped out at like 55 and when you are in one up in those speeds you feel like the thing is gunna shake apart
it wasn't about top speed or acceleration back then people just wanted four wheels and some kinda engine

shut the hell up you bitches or I'll have to bitch slap you all. The V-16's could easily top out at 100mph. This model is nice but the V-16 7-passenger Imperial Limo was pimp.

not true, the real 0-60 time is about 18 seconds and they could easily hit 80mph even with full sedan coachwork. for the day, 80 wasn't really pracical most of the time anyway, in fact most driving didnt exceed about 40 at any time. also, consider that the car weighs almost 6000 lbs and has the aerodynamics of a sticky brick with a drag chute...hardly anything short of a duesy could touch it then
