Yeah, but there's always many factors to take into account.
A very important factor is track prep. Sometimes our local 1/8 mile is like racing on the street (no prep at all).

I also see SRT-8s and 5th gen Camaro SS running (high 8s - low 9s) in the 1/8 mile. I've even seen stock C6 Vettes and even Z06s running mid 8s (which is crazy slow for a Z06).

I'm also suprised when I see LS1 z28s and WS6 LS1 Trans Ams running
9.0s in the 1/8 mile (which seems to be the average time when I'm at the track).

But yes, with some seat time on a decent track, a stock SRT-8 or Camaro SS can run mid 8s (or even faster) in the 1/8 mile.
