Default Re: How fast was a Motion Camaro

The original question was not asking for 1/4 mile times and speeds.

Kind of an odd question, really.

Actually Brock Yates documented top end running on the Detroit Freeways back in a R & T or C & d piece in around 66 or 67. From the old Cars mags I beleive top end was done around New York, Motion Cars were not made to compete in set drag classes but to run the street. Hence the question. Answer is if it happened no-one here knows or is not sharing.

The comparision came from my car which had its driveline based on a Motion car when things like Hone'e were available.
These cars had aerodynamics like bricks, so math formulas are meaningless.
Ever stuck your arm out the window at 130mph (and gone back to pick it up )
As I said top end running was done, it usually does not look as dangerous as it is when you are travelling straight and you're behind the wheel.
