20 Muscle Cars That Made History
First off if you have a Mk2 which veery few people have, there's a small chance in hell they ever saw the quarter mile so low 13's I promise you were traction limited. My 289 puts out a shade under 400 hp so 13's I can do picking my nose between all 4 gears. Oh and it's got 2.88 gears but 14" wheels which make hwy cruising nice and sawing whomever I want off easy. Mine is a 65 mk1 which was sopposed to have the 260 but that was long gone when we got it. A friend of mine in the Bay Area has a tiger with a 427 side oiler big block that he built for hill climbing that is a monster. It's a fun car that could use better brakes but I've never had handling issues. Just gotta know your car.
Sports Car or Musclecar
1967 Sunbeam Tiger MK II {with the Cobra MK II 'option'}
289/306 HP in a #2560 lb. 'Pocket Rocket'
1967 NHRA Class 'D/SP'
Very dangerous to drive, unless you had the sub-frame members fabricated with
frame-ties, and installed 'Panhard Rods' for the rear-end.
And the front suspension would require stiffer-springs, plus heavier steering
components.
With 3.73 Street-Gears, capable of 13.30's at 106 MPH.
