transam1972,

Some people really get caught up on having a fast pure stocker, while many others are satisfied knowing their car is truely factory stock and learn how to make it faster with tuning and driving technique. Don't forget that drag strips are prepped much better than back in the day with glue for the first 330', so you shave a bunch of et with a proper launch and 60' time. It's still possible to spin, but with some control and practice, 2.1 second 60 foot times (and better) are possible, which are alot quicker than the 2.5 or higher back when our cars were new.

Stock RAIV's and 455 HO's/SD's will run 13.50's @ 105 mph regularly after proper tuning and good driving.
