You are right Ernie. The 60's magazines were cheeters. They would take off air cleaners and fan belts,get a ringer with better timing. Then they would say how fast they were. That's full of S***. Bone stock muscle cars couldn't even get into the 13's, I know, I spent alot of time at the saturday king of the hill drags. My old 750 Honda motorcycle was the fastest street vehicle there at 12.6 ET. With open headers and slicks a 440 cuda just barely beat me. There were faster race cars, only a few street cars ever saw a 13 second time slip.The new muscle cars are much faster in general.
