With a .6 over drive and a 2.73 you could shoot for a 200 mph top speed with a "little work" to the engine...  |
Probably everyone on this forum realizes that a 2.73 rear axle is good for top speed, and bad for acceleration. The title of the thread is "0 to 60 time." The point I was making is that with a stock 302, and an axle ratio that hinders acceleration, 0-60 times still in the high 4 second range are fairly respectable, and that drivetrain leaves tons of room for improvements/modifications.
