Storming down the highway
USA vs UK.
Chevrolet vs Jaguar.
1953 vs 1961.
3.8 litre engine vs 3.8 litre engine.
Turns out, the battle for fastest acceleration was a one sided affair. The Jaguar engine put out around 265 hp while the Corvette had just 150 hp. The Corvette also had a 2 speed auto to get power to the ground while the Jag had a 4 speed manual.
Acceleration zero to 60 mph -
Corvette - 11.5 seconds.
Jaguar - 6.8 seconds.
No matter which one is fastest, they both look sensational just cruising down the highway.
*********************************
A pseudo forced perspective shot of the two AUTOart 1/18th scale model die-cast cars against the beautiful backdrop of the highway north of Hawker in South Australia's Flinders Ranges. Storms had just been through and the normally dry countryside was unusually green and healthy looking after a wet winter.
A ten image focus stack taken and processed with the Canon R10 and RF 24-240 zoom lens.
The focus stacking didn't work very well on this, but I kept the image anyway and posted it. It was a little blurry on the car bodies in a couple of places, possibly due to the fact that the lens suffers quite bad focus breathing.
