Good job, Skye. I have always found that source a little frustrating,
however, in that there is no full road test data for a 5-main-bearing,
3-synchro roadster, which "should" post the best numbers on the chart. Note
that the 66 GT shows the highest HP rating -- a 66 roadster would have the
same engine (obviously), but post better 0-60 and 1/4 mile times (being
lighter). Extrapolating its lbs/hp as 24.5, I think it would break 12
seconds easily in the 0-60.
As fellow 66 owners we both have a stake in this issue <g>...
