i think people forget that only less than 10 years ago running a high 12 pretty much meant you had the fastest car you could buy stock.
Mustang GTs and Camaros with LS1s were solid 13 second cars.
Also a 12 second car on the street is pretty fast. A few tweaks and drag radials with the ZL1 and Z/28 will be in the 11s

Yes and no.
You have to look at what 12 second cars are availble to purchase now days.. and the price comparitives. My shelby stock ran 12.7 (5 yrs ago) and my 5.0 ran 12.8 stock. It was the cheaper mods afterwards that made the shelby faster. Just like the ZL1.. mid 12's then do the cheaper mods and you have 11 second car. However mid to high 12's is something of the norm from a 30k base mustang GT to 45k SRT8 Challenger to 60k ZL1 camaro.
I know I know..just 1/4 mile talk but that's what this thread is about.. I've been playing with cars since 1998.. and the LS1's that came out then still haunt my dreams when I had a 1994 5.0 mustang. LOL
If your goal is faster then 12's.. then ZL1 and GT500 are the cars to get with relative cheap mods to get into the 11's.
