Model A engine driveability?

Is the power of near stock engine suficient for todays standards of driving? I'm not expecting it to be really fast, but I don't want to die in traffic eighter. Anyone know of 0-60mph time? 1/4mile time?
What's the max rpm? Top speed? What's the fuel consumption?

I am trying to decide is it worth messing with or not.

 

like 50 horse or soemthing . 1/4 mile time.. about half an hour..

i think you can get them to do 55-60

 

60 mph? Only with a Mitchell over drive.

got a couple of A's...people will run over you...you have to pick the roads you run on...of course you know nobody runs the speed limit ...and if you are running 45...they come up behind you real fast...

 

...

 

Stock: top speed is 60 mph, Hp is 40, fuel 25mpg (+-). With a few mods: We have one that will run 85mph cruise all day @ 55-60. With the change to the rear gear, distributor, carb/intake, exhaust.

 

From one of the Model A sites:

60mph?? I'd better see whats wrong with my stocker because I barely get 55, if I'm nice to it.

 

Nothing wrong with your "A" PG. It's more realistic for a crusing speed of 50mph with a stocker and 3:78 gears. altraditional , you are going to need some mods to get a reliable 60 mph cruising speed .

 

Hope this helps?
