The real problem we have is the Camaro has gained over 1,000lbs since then.

The 60's muscle car era was full of 15-14 second cars with a few 13 and 12 second cars in the mix but rare.
We look back at cars back then in wonder, but we have to remember the cars before some of our favorite classics were slow. Some of the loud muscle cars seemed a lot faster than they were, in part due to all that beautiful noise, and also because they were difficult to control.
