?
In ?response to a request from Joe Dunlop I posted the following Virtual Vairs 
and at Jon Lanning's suggestion I am posting the info to the V8vair list. ?I 
also am interested in knowing the numbers for other conversions.

Does anybody know of a reasonably priced GPS type device that would provide 
information of car performance...maybe even a smart phone app??

The following info was provided by Don Sherman (currently the Technial Editor 
for "Car and Driver") for an article he wrote for "Automobile" when he worked 
for that magazine.?

0- 60? 5.2

1/4 mile? 13.9 @ 104

Top Speed? 130? @ 6,500? rpm

Weight? 2,485

Engine? 283? estimated horsepower? 300

Differential ratio? 3.55??

The above numbers were taken about 4 years ago. ?Since then I fixed the dragging 
brakes, lightened the car by about 80 pounds, and greatly improved the shifter 
operation so the current numbers should be a little better.?
