i had a 1970 convertible with the 350 . It had been built to race top end . Absolute dog in a 1/4 mike but let me get up to about a 1,/2 mile and all you were going you see was my bumper
Nice chart. Very interesting info. Thanks for posting that.
Excel and I used to get along better but they've "made it better" and I can't get it to do what I want anymore but here's a modified graph.
I removed redundant models, keeping only the quickest for each year. Then I subtracted 10 from the times to expand the range. Couldn't get the years posted on the x-axis but you can sure see the initial 6 to V-8 era, then the smog engine era.
Where's 1985?
What was going on in the '90's?
X-axis is years in order, Y-axis is ET minus 10 seconds to expand range
