The All-Around Measurement
While most track tests isolate a single performance parameter, accelerating from a stop to 100 mph, then braking to a stop again does sample power, braking, and some handling, and is thus a fair look at how balanced a car's performance personality is. In our trio, the Mach 1 definitely has the best combination of torque and horsepower, brakes well, and has the softest, most weight-transferring chassis. Looking at the data, it's clear the Mach's engine made up for the 0.2 second its chassis and brakes lost to the Bullitt, and with the Cobra flunking the braking test, this one was a walkover for the Mach 1.
Mach 1
100-0, sec = 4.85
0-100-0, sec = 16.785
Bullitt
100-0, sec = 4.63
0-100-0, sec = 18.022
Cobra
100-0, sec = 5.10
0-100-0, sec = 17.892
