I remember that Pontiac 2+2 road test and their claim of 3.9 seconds to 60....there is no way a car that heavy with that gearing and those tires could get within a second and a half of that time....pure bs.
Back then I made a big graph and using their power to weight ratios, plotted all the 0-60 times from every car magazine road tests I could get my hands on - and I had a lot of them! - that Pontiac time was so far out of the norm it was a joke!
They later tested a 427 Cobra that weighed about a thousand pounds less and had about 125 more HP and it did a 3.9 second 0-60....with Blue Streaks!!!!
Of course I was a Ferrari fan so I was still highly pi$$ed off about that GTO vs. G.T.O. scam that that rag perpetrated...
