The little Chrysler 6 was turning 14 sec 1/4 miles as delivered from the factory! Amazing numbers even by todays standards. How embarrasing that must have been for the "other guys".
With all the low numbers we commonly see here at Club Cobra for 1/4 mile times we loose site of the fact that a 14 sec 1/4 mile really is FAST. Over the years there have ONLY been a handful of cars to run that fast AS DELIVERED from the showroom.
How many of TODAYS production cars can claim a 14 sec 1/4 mile from the show room? I think you would need only ONE hand to count them! Chrysler was doing that in the 70's with a SIX??? WOW.
