No computers. Just pure big block, high compression engines turning 7500 RPM. Did you ever see the "no street driving form" you had to sign before the dealer sold you a ZL1? You had to promise to race it and NOT drive it on the streets. RIIIIIGHT. Tell a 'Nam vet he cannot street drive his new car he bought with his combat pay.

Wanna talk SERIOUS? NASCAR drivers used to be much more talented in the day. They didn't have wind tunnels, computers, and such. Their BIG BLOCK cars were nearly actually flying. THOSE were drivers.

Awesome post @2013 RaceRed 5.0! Great old article.
The OG-riginal ZL-1 has a ton of history, well worth the time to read up on.

I would think the fastest production Camaro to date would be the the new ZL1 in the high 11's.

would the Baldwin / Yenko Camaros count? If so why not a COPO or Calloway...
What I think would be a fair, and pretty accurate list would be from a Car & Driver or Motor Trend, they likely run on the same track every time, and same drivers for the most part...same conditions..or whatever GM puts out as their factory specs...

I think it is funny that people say the current SS and then the 69 ZL1 that ran 12.7. Well in case you hadn't noticed they made the ZL1 again in 2012 and a Gen5 ZL1 has run 11.7 stock. The modern car is heavier but it is the fastest street legal stock Camaro to date..... We probably will get a faster 6th gen though.

Was actually just thinking that when i was reading the list. Crazy how v6's come with over 300 horses these days. They are no slouch, just hard to keep up with you 400+ guys lol.

The Baldwin/Motion cars should be considered stock. They were right off the showroom floor, 0 miles if you wanted it.

Motortrend ran a 12.7 @111.9 with a 2013 1LE... That would be #1 on your list.
