[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3479992, member: 5316"] I like the 60s/early 70s muscle cars too. But I’m more amazed at some of the newer cars. Factory stock early muscle cars are mid 13 second cars at best. There are plenty of Motor Trend articles to back that up. Late models are so amazing and it doesn’t have to be a Corvette, Hellcat, or GT500, Drive a CTS-V Cadillac. MT clocked one in the 11s. Jeep Cherokee TrackHawk will run 11s. Even the Cherokee SRT will run low 13s beating the GS455 and LS6 cars of 1970. I even recently drove a couple of Lincoln MKZ V6 3.0t with AWD that tested at 13.7 in the 1/4. That would be quicker than almost everything from the 60-70 era. As much as I liked some of the muscle cars I had (SS 396 impala, Hurst Olds with 455, 69 Camaro with 454, 81 Corvette with SB 400 and Doug Nash 6 speed), I love some of the LS conversions some are doing to the early Camaro and Chevelles.
