300hp V12

Pontiac Tempest Super Duty was faster (1963 MY but built in 62), 12.42 1/4

there were no muscle cars in 1962

and this car is still faster than all of them lmao

t b h id totally buy that today if it remade with those same exact stats

I dont think you could call that a stock car

its a factory modified car

The thing is that this was a racecar. Even though it was the fastest thing you could buy you would think it would be faster.

A car that weighed a ton with 300hp today would blow it away in those times.

Just as stock as the 250 GTO if not moreso. Every 250 GTO is a bit different, it's not like they were rolling off an assembly line.

>GT

It's not that hard

you fucktards 13.1 was a missile back in 1962

Take off the nostalgia goggles.

>259-hp 2015 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ Turbo (the Malibu is new for 2016), both of which finished the 0-60-mph sprint in 6.3 seconds.

Also, can we just end GM already? They throw a turbo on and it's still slower than a soulless Toyota appliance.

Gassers were going a lot faster on the 1/4 with shitty tires. I bet a Corvette of that era would be able to hold on to the 250 on a track.
