How Turn 10 describes the Speed 3

That's just it, it AIN'T 306 hp, man, not breaking a ton in the quarter tells you that for sure. Wherever the torque peaks at is largely irrelevant, the speed out the back door tells you what is really going on. It's an around 3300 pound car, add a 160 pound driver, it should run very low 13s at about 105 mph. The times the mags are turning in indicates closer to 260 horse than 306. I don't know about you but, 40+ horse off the advertising hasn't been seen since they stopped rating engines at the crank in the early 70s.
