Gone in 60 Seconds

it wasn't aturbo civic. no turbo on it at all. natural aspiration, and it kept up. just a movie i tell myself. And that speedometer thing, you are dead on dude. I watched the making of the movie (one of the special features on the DVD) and they said that to make it look like he was going faster than he really was, while a normal tape reel speed is 24 fps (frames per second), they sped it up to 16 fps. This makes it appear 40% faster. there were also alot of computer generated images too.

Had to add this in. Got this from a website, don't know how accurate, but figured I'd share it anyway.
428 Cobra Jet, made 355 horses. with an auto, a c-6, 0-60 was 7.0 seconds. with the top loader four and drag pack, 0-60 was 6.2. So no, it isn't the fastest car in the world, but it was one of the fastest of it's time.

1.62 60'
