Yes, I find the mph Dynojet #s to be hard to read and interpret.....

But, there is an issue with ATX cars. Unless you have a custom chip to lock
it in a gear, and lock the TC, dyno #s are hard to read on an rpm scale.

This was the issue with Gen 3 dyno charts years back. It was near impossible
to get good torque/HP numbers below about 4K with the tranny shifting.

1.  Wouldn't the x-axis more commonly be rpm rather than mph? Seems a little
useless to use mph.

2.  $50k on a Taurus?  OMG!

3.  He should know better than to claim 260hp is real.

4.  I recall seing this car at last year's convention. Quite unremarkable
IMO.
