What I find interesting is that these cars with 500+ net horsepower are barely cracking the 12's whereas factory drag cars sporting Hemis and 427 Ford engines in the late 1960's could drop into the high 10's with minimal effort. Could it be that these muscle cars are just TOO FAT?? Only the Vette is semi-svelt.
How 'bout near 11s, on factory tires.
You mean the pro-built motors in cars sporting drag slicks?
Re-check the poundage numbers for late-60/early 70's cars.
