So better not go in the fastest pack because if they can only get one, then you're it.

560 hp - Ouch! 3 sec 0-60 Fun! Type of auto? Engine cubes? 197 mph at WOT Eeeeekkk!
My 67 Cat has original factory quoted top end of at 148 mph. I had her bury the needle once... lots more to go. I backed off, taint no sense to go faster than that unless on a pro track with pro car - IMO. Cat weighs in at 4.9K lbs.; with recently professionally rebuilt high performance motor, 1/4 tank high test, full size spare tire and Linda and me. Stop watch on measured mile 5.9 sec 0-60. Not too bad for AC'd, power everything, 48 yr old classic

Rebuild engine has <3K miles. Once she gets fully broken in (10 K mi) I plan to take her to a dyno shop and find out what is really being created at her rear wheels. If I want to get a bit more (50 +/- extra hp)... cam, intake manifold, and carb can be modified. Think I'll keep her as is... enough fun already, and, no tune-up hassle!
