I found a vid of one of them.
You're right, because not all drivers are equal. What ESARETEE8 keeps suggesting is that the cars are equal, and that the better driver will make the difference. In reality, the same driver under the same conditions will be faster in the SS. In ESARETEE8 mind, a L99 with a poor factory tune and bad gas will be slower than the 12.5 sec hero run in a "stock Charger" by some guy at Atco in 2006

Forgive me if I don't rely on a YouTube video posted by an unverified source of "bone stock" cars with drivers of identical skill.
