Dream Car Garage: Muscle Car Test
(tested in "as delivered to dealer" condition)
  • Ford Mustang Mach 1 Boss 429 - 13.74
  • Hurst Oldsmobile 442 455 HO - 13.82
  • Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS6 454 -13.95
  • Buick GS 455 Stage 1 - 13.96
  • Dodge Challenger Hemi 426 - 14.01
  • Pontiac GTO Judge 400 Ram Air III - 14.09
  • American Motors AMX 390 - 14.84

Back then that was pretty good. Remember bias ply tires? They were thin and stiff

1997 SS Camaro..13.3
1999 Pontiac Trans Am 13.3
1996 Corvette Grand Sport 13.2

All factory and LT-1, LS-1 , LT-4 Still not blistering fast.

Now take them old cars, install some good radial rubber and rerun the times .
