Fastest Musclecar?

[Seattle Sam]

Somehow those elapsed times should be adjusted to account for increased tire and track performance.
For example, that 66 Shelby, at 118 mph, should certainly run somewhere in the 11's.

If you sort that list by MPH, all the cars below should be capable of a sub-thirteen second ET (based on the fact that my full body-full interior 65 Chevelle runs a 12 at 104 mph with my "full body" in it)...Hmm, the thirty fastest production cars - 3 Fords, 10 Chryslers, 14 Chevies, two Ponchos (one with a Chevy motor)and one Buford. That means half of the fastest cars are Chevy powered..not bad!

Sam:

No big deal, just being "picky" I guess, but the '68 Biscayne actually trapped 108, but is always incorrectly listed as 105. Just looking out for another L-72 car! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

[Seattle Sam]

Thanks Rob, I missed that point earlier, makes the Biscayne the MPH equal of the L71 Corvettes! I'm sure you could get one into the 12's with 10" slicks!

[Chevy454]

Bad driver?! YIKES! Not to speak for Terry, but I'm guessing he was having some kind of problems or something on the early run(s)...I even think rain was an issue at that event. Any way, that car has ran 11.4s, and even ran 11.70 at that event...that car will FLY.

[Norm reynolds]

The reason I said a poor driver I saw a video where Terry was a sleep at the light more than once
Very poor reaction time, so I was led to believe he did know how to drive it [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img] Maybe He did have problems but my frist reaction was that he was a little slow off the line
