I was looking through a Car & Driver magazine (July, 1967) at a comparison test between a '67 Mercury Cougar XR-7 and a '67 Jaguar 420. Also in the issue was a road test of a '67 Ferrari 330/GTC and I noticed the 40-60 mph time was 3.5 seconds. I remember a Car Life (July, 1964) test of a '64 Cadillac in which the 40-60 mph was 3.7 seconds. Surprising that the Cadillac had such as close time. As most people know, once the weight is overcome, big and heavy cars can have some good passing times.
