Ed,
We took the SCCA '69 vette out to the dragstrip in Tulsa one time to sort out a shifter problem and it went 11:40 at 119 mph in full roadrace trim (10.5" front 11.5" wide rear - hard road racing slicks) Shifted to 4th just before the line and made the first turnoff too...! (Doubt many cars can do that at that speed) and no I didn't have to lock the brakes to do it either. In fact I got in trouble for going too fast back down the return road... (grin)
That was a small block .. (4:10 gear - 350ci- 6" Corrillo Rods - chev offroad cam-cast iron, angle plug heads-stahl headers-dry sump oiling system-m-22 trans-single 800cfm Holley carb)
So those times that they showed back then, sound reasonable to me. My '66 425hp stock vette went 11:90's at 110 mph. On MT cheater slicks.
