0-60 time?

I've searched the Internet for a good, ol' fashioned road test on a Dyna with the TC96 but I haven't found any.

Any of you guys know the stats, like 0-60, 0-100, top speed, etc.?

0-60 on a stock Dyna 96" is probably about 4.5 to 5 secs.
0-100 is probably about 14-15 seconds.
Top speed about 115. If you are patient and glued to the tank, no wind, etc. maybe, just maybe 120.

60-0 to zero, if you have just one front disc .... way longer than it should be.

Good point. Factory stock performance cars are wildly faster than the stuff that ruled the streets in the 60s and early 70s. A base, coupe '09 Corvette with automatic rips 4 second flat 0-60 and 12 flat 1/4s on stock run flats! That is simply amazing for an EPA compliant, showroom stock vehicle. The old big blocks are a joke when compared to these new high tech machines.

The early 90s Mustangs were pretty weak. The current gen., '05 up Mustang GTs will run mid 13s bone stock. The average muscle car from the 60s ran high 14s to high 15s. That was damn fast back then. Big block Mopars, Vettes etc. could get you down close to 14 second quarters in factory config. Obviously anything can or could have been modified to perform better.

A current GT500 or GT500KR Mustang will run low 12s, mid 11s respectively, both on stock tires and would flatly destroy from anything Detroit had to offer back in the day. Crazy but true.

Don't forget that the pre '72 cars used a completely different rating system(BHP) for HP than the current cars use(SAE). The old stuff would post HP #s about 25% lower under the current SAE standards. The old motors were also the victim of significantly higher parasitic driveline losses. The performance cars in todays showrooms have acceleration, cornering, and braking capabilities that were unimagineable off the assembly line 40 years ago.
