That list is fun to look at, and reminisce about the cars of the 60's, but as for those times............I wouldn't put too much stock in it. It's impossible to tell what cars were tweaked, which weren't, which ran with the stock bias-ply tires, and which didn't (although you can probably guess by some of the times, ie: 66 'Vette 427 12.8 // 67 Vette 427 13.8), etc.....and take a look at some of those rear gears used for the tests!!?? Who goes to the track with a 66 Vette 427....... with 3.36 gears?? 69 Vette L-88 with 3.36 gears....and an AUTOMATIC?? 70 Cuda 426 Hemi with a 3.54 rear?? Stick a 4.56 or even a 4.11 in that 70 Chevelle LS-6 and see what happens!!
Carroll: You're right about the Cobra replica's! Best bang for the buck, for sure! Most properly set up replica's would dust that Viper GTS in the quarter mile...........even with 15" tires. Congrats on your SPF - it looks awsome!
