Fastest Musclecar?

[redline]

If you want to say Hemi dart/Cuda, then ya, it's a toss-up on whether you can consider them 'Factory Built'.

But the 1965 A990 Hemi Coronets and Belvederes came down the assembly line, and produced 11.09/125mph.

Any Hemi car that was not equipped with the Factory Crossram race hemi cannot be considered a contender. The inline dual quad motored cars were a much milder version (street hemi) than it's previous cars.

Found a pic of new Hemi Darts and Barracudas. It was built by a vendor to race in Super Stock and was sold as an unfinished race car with narrow tires just for shipping. I don't think it would run in the 12s in the as delivered condition but it is not really a factory built car. The ZL1 Camaros were also built for Super Stock but were sold as a complete car. I would vote for the ZL1 Corvette as the quickest car to leave a real factory assembly line. (for the old school cars)

Was the 11.09@125mph done through the stock exhaust and on the skinnies? Didn't they still come with regular exhaust installed?

According to one article the Hemi Dart came with headers but it does not day if there was any mufflers or exhaust pipe.

Was it the WO/RO Hemi cars that got a crappy single exhaust wired up in anticipation of adding headers? I heard this rumor on both the WO/RO and Hurst/Hemi cars (possibly neither?), but I'm not up on my Mopar trivia like I need to be!

I found an ad from 1974 listing the Motion 9 sec Vega. This had to be one of the most outrageous cars ever offered for sale to the general public. It was not long after this ad appeared that the Feds came in to the Motion garage to look around.
