Car & Driver,,,,,called it ,,,'A Plain Jane Car, With No Frills,
A Quarter-Mile in 13.50 Seconds, All In A Brown Paper Wrapper'

Motor Trend,,,,
'The Fastest Production Sedan Ever Built'

After performing several timed accellerated tests at Irwindale Raceway, the Motor Trend
editors were a bit frustrated with times in the 13.50 range @ 105 MPH, as they felt the car had more potential.

They were unable to keep the F70 x15" (6.3" width) Red-Streak back tires from breaking loose. The Hemi had to much power for the under-sized back tires.
One of the editors had brought a set of Casler 7" Slicks, mounted
on 15" x 6" rims to the drag strip, with the intention of mounting them on the car.

With the 7" Casler Slicks, the 4-Speed, 3.54 geared Dana-rear, 3595 lb. car
was able to crack into the low 13.30's,,,,,,
with a best of 13.31 @ 107.7 MPH.
