I believe he said he was posting this as an "academic" question, meaning what is theoretically possible. Car and driver employes "semi" professional drivers (semi in only that they are not necc race drivers). I would think they can get a better time than most of us.

Academically speaking, fuel cutoff comes in around 58-59 mph in my academic experience so there is a fudge factor required when going from calculation to data collection.
Mmmm fudge.

Tcoat has reminded me of a joke. It is about the Texas A&M Aggies (I'm a "Tea-sip") but you could just substitute any rival college or athletic team: A University of Texas and a Texas A&M student decide to go to South Padre Island for spring break. When they get there, the Aggie notices that the Longhorn is having no trouble meeting girls while the Aggie is not having any luck. He asks the UT guy what his secret is. The Longhorn replies, "What you need to do is get a medium sized potato and put it into your bathing suit. Then the girls will come running." Thinking this to be good advice, the Aggie goes to the local HEB and buys a medium sized potato. He follows his friend's instructions and puts it in his bathing suit. Rather than flocking to him, though, the girls begin to scream and run away. In confusion, the Aggie asks the Longhorn what is wrong. The Longhorn takes one look and says, "You're supposed to put it down the FRONT!!"

I'm from Texas, and I can assure you that this story is NOT apocryphal.

Like everything else it probably depends on where you are in a given Sate/Province. Where I live the 86 is pretty rare but other imports are common. Drive an hour one direction and there are almost 86s on every single street corner. Drive two hours the other way and you would swear that the only cars ever built were Chargers and Challengers (Chrysler plant there).
