I find the list to be BS. No standardation of comparison criteria. I know many of the 60's musclecars were faster than listed. For example:10 1969 Camaro 13.16@110.21 427 ZL1 430 four-speed 4.10 HC 6/69 That test was done with the factory 396 exhaust manifolds, factory chamvered exhaust, goodyear E70-15 wide-tread GT tires, and the wrong carb a 780 Holley instead of the correct 850 Holley. That was the yellow #3 ZL1 camaro. The #1 ZL1 camaro as tested by superstock magazine feb 69 and ran 10.41 @ 128.10 with the single 850 Holley, with a tunnel ram and two 660 Holley's it did 10.29 @ 132.05 driven by Dick Harrel, and campaigned till 1971. One might say that it should only be tested in "as delivered" trim, but who gets a $4900 engine package added to a $2700 car and doesn't add headers and sticky tires to say the least?

That is a bonafide 11 second car, even with the old tires. That motor had 12.5:1 compression

My little 396 chevy, with 9:1 compression, puny port iron heads, tiny valves, unmodified heads, factory crank, rods and pistons, tiny little hydraulic cam, 3.73 gears, in a car (67 chevelle) that weighed more than a camaro by several hundred pounds, automatic with low-stall converter, 750 vacuum Holley tuned by a 16 year old me, upshifting at 5500 RPM, on 245/60/15 winston winner radials, was running uncorrected 13.30's @110, driven to and from the track which was about a two hour drive each way.
