"Back in the day" .....tires sucked, mufflers sucked, torque converter technology wasn't near as good as what we have today. IMO the M&H racemaster and Flowmaster (as much as I dislike them) mufflers were game changers when they came out.
It's great to hear from guys that raced their cars back then. It gives us a better idea of what a real muscle car would've run in the quarter. A fourteen second car was quick, a thirteen second was fast and a twelve second car was the King. An eleven second car would be slicks, open headers and usually on a trailer.
It's nearly impossible to duplicate the performance of a stock muscle car today. Engine rebuilding equipment is much more precise, the exhaust will more than likely be an improvement over stock and the tires will be better.... We have it real easy when it comes to making a quick street car nowadays.
Great thread! I'm kinda surprised more guys haven't shared quarter mile times but thanks to those who have.
