Check again. The 10.8 was on drag radials. Still damn impressive though.

drag radials, track shoes or tennis shoes... that's fast for a production vehicle!

That's fast, no matter what shoes!

I am looking forward to wild horse motor sports park in the fall. I hope to get under under 12.5!

Fastest Muscle Car Ever,

Here is the article they had on it out here. I have only seen one MSRP on it though and haven't found out what one would really cost.

Lets see what it runs on stock tires, which makes all the difference, take your cobra down the track on BFG radials, then on drag radials, the difference could be seconds, plural, cool car...

Thanks Phil. Somehow missed the fact. Guess I was tingling too much to catch it.

I'd still take the '71 (then sell it and pay off my house, kids student loans and buy the new Challenger).

.4 seconds difference from stock tires to drag radials, they need better drag radials...

There's a lot to be said of the driver's skill and experience. More to it than stomping and steering.

I saw a show on the Vipor TA (Time attack). Very cool, stiff, light, aerodynamics and orange. I liked it. Can't remember other details, it looked fast not moving....

Karlos,

You mention that driver has something to do with the stock tire ET, but these cars have launch control. You press the brake, push the launch control button, put your right foot to the floor, release the brake on the second yellow... And it goes. Thats probably why the difference with DRs is only 0.4 sec. Not much more to it than putting your right foot to the floor and steering.

Hi Eric, wonder just how quick the car would have gone with a really good driver, not to say that Richard isn't. I don't know, but I've always heard that 'vettes will run quicker with the traction control off since, I think, the brakes are electronicaly applied to slow the tire spinning. Just knowing that the hot dogs runniing fendered cars would use it if it made them faster.
