    Red face Anybody here ever seen the movie 'Bullitt'?

    So I was watching this movie tonight, and was fascinated not by McQueen's famous Mustang GT but by what his on-screen girlfriend (a very young Jacqueline Bisset) was driving. It was a Porsche 356 Cabriolet.



    Just for kicks, I looked up some of this car's approximate specs.

    Power and Torque Specifications.

    Porsche 356 Power: The 356's 1582 cc (96.5 ci) engine reaches its peak power of 74 bhp (55 kW) @ 5000 rpm.
    Porsche 356 Torque: The Porsche 356 produces torque measuring 86 lb-ft (100.3 Nm) @ 3700 rpm.
    Porsche 356 Power to Weight: The 356 weighs around 934 kg (2059 lb). Power to weight can be calculated at 79.2 bhp per metric ton or alternatively as 92.0 lb-ft of torque per ton.
    Porsche 356 Performance Specifications.

    Porsche 356 Top Speed: The Porsche 356 C 1.6 Coupe - [1963] has a top speed of 107 mph (172.1 kph)
    Porsche 356 Acceleration: This 356 reaches 0 to 60 mph (96.6 kph) in 13.5 seconds and can cover a 1/4 mile in an estimated 19.12 seconds.


    Do any of these stats look familiar?

    Moral of the story: with nearly the same specs as a Porsche 356, keep the Mirage for 50 years and profit!!

    I haven't seen the movie, but 1) I recognized Top Fuel's avatar, and, 2) I have seen this several times...
