I ran a 11.55 at 117 in my all steel 64 GTO Convertible with a 400 engine many years ago. Hurt a lot of parts including the car to get there. Young and Foolish. Some say that is a pretty good time for a vehicle of that type with a tire that will fit under the wheel houses without mods.

I have driven a Vega that was faster than 9.40s but that was the best I did with the car. Have to admit that the Old Man (Pontiac Dude) and many others have got me covered on this topic pretty good.
