This also wrong/incorrect. The engine is an OHV (Over Head Valve) = 12 valves, 2 per cylinder - 1 intake, 1 exhaust

Not a DOHC (Dual Over Head Cam) = 2 camshafts directly on top of each head and running 4 valves per cylinder = 24 valves

Whomever wrote this article obviously was a sleep at the keyboard, had no knowledge of this vehicle, or had no one proofing it before it was published. Another reason to scrutinize everything you read online until it's cross referenced thru multiple unrelated sources. Imho

why don't you investigate the koenigsegg homologation fraud instead? start with comparing their bullshit crash testing methods, be more productive.

SSC crashing tests are the best along with their zero emission clean enviroment without running catalytic converters 😜

My 160hp honda integra can do 0 to 100 in approx 7.5 and a quarter mile in 15.3 at 90 mph this 15.9 can't be right lol

Yeah I agree I know gearing etc but if it csn accelerate to 60mph in 6 seconds flat that's probably 6.5 to 6.8 to 100 15.9 quarter lol yeah I was expecting 14.9 not 15 9 even as fast as 14.4 ish

Now that I looked back, 6.0 to 60 yet 15.9 to the quartermile?? That doesn't sound right

0-60 mph: 6.0 sec
1/4-mile: 15.9 sec @ 87 mph

Skip to 1:27 and see these results for yourself!

Wrong! Look it up on YouTube, Motortrend did a show on the Thunderbird SC its on there. Introduced in 89'. 0 to 60 in 6.0 seconds. Top speed 143 to 147 mph is what the real specs are. Ford downplayed their own car for the Mustang.

Hell, Ford claimed a 143-mph top speed for the 190-hp Turbobird from '86. That's far better than a Buick GN(X).
