I was under the impression that the '57 Fury did 0-60 in 8.5 seconds and the 
quarter mile in 16.8 seconds.  Also the 350 cid 305 HP '58 Fury did 0-60 in 
about 8.0 seconds flat.  Did they mention anything about the '56, '57 or '58 
Golden Furys?  Could be a GM guy writing the article.  Only kidding.
