We rode rock n roller coaster when we were in Disney World last week. It starts with a 2.8 second 0 - 57 mph run. I have been hung up on that. I know the Tesla in ludicrous mode does it in less than that as do a bunch of super cars, but I just can’t imagine being at the wheel of that kind of force/power.
While looking at the list of car that can hit 60 in under 3 seconds:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
one very interesting find came up: the 1994 Ford SVT Boss Mustang 10L Concept
0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds in a 1994 Mustang that looks pretty much like any other mustang from the outside and from what I can find on the inside too
And here’s a low quality shaky once over of what’s in the engine bay
Think of all the crowds this could take out!

Is it really a 10.0 or are they rounding up from 9.8?

I refuse to believe that figure unless there’s test data, or Ford meant to type 2.9s.

according to what I can find, 610.2 cubic inches which is 9.9993865 liters

pretty much just an assortment of articles all supporting that, a burnout video or three, but nothing official with a time after a run

In Ford math, if you divide 610 in half, you get 302.

It’s a 598. 4.6" bore with 4.5" stroke, based on a 460 big block (or some sort of Ford Racing derivative, like the A460).

It just seems so ridiculous.

right! I can’t picture it in a new car even with all the electronics keeping me “safe.” This can’t have much of anything that would really keep you from just killing yourself in, well, 1.9 seconds,

It was actually 0.9s

A buddy in HS had an old Yugo that could do this...
(wait, sorry, I thought that said 1.9 minutes.)

Nothing about this is surprising: Drag radials+2800 stall+3.70 rear+big block= extremely quick 0-60 on a prepped surface.

I’m sure 1.9 is possible on racing slicks after a proper burnout on a prepped drag strip. Physically impossible on street tires ESPECIALLY of that era.

- 0.9 s

That’s cool but can it set a sub 3 second time on a loose surface?

I vaguely remember seeing a magazine article on it. But yeah they did say it was 1.9seconds and that they didn’t use normal tires. But while that is a Mustang, its performance setup is overkill and was done with only the mindset of getting a really low acceleration time sacrificing all other things.

I was in the same boat, but apparently that 1.9s 0-60 is from Car and Driver with actual data to back it up, still trying to find a copy of the article.
