When Art Morrison first starting selling his Tri-Five chassis -- he pounded the numbers he got against other well known "performance cars":
He used 0-60 -- 1/4 mile -- Skid Pad -- 60-0 braking

Testing was conducted with the GT55 after it was driven 1,200 miles from Tacoma, WA to Los Angeles, CA. There were no modifications made to the chassis or to the BFGoodrich tires before testing.
