Just fun to look through and see how many you've had your own garage... or not.

Funny how it would be that once in a lifetime to see any cars on the top of that list anywhere near a dragstrip, Corvettes aside.

Ya know, it's funny that I did not even notice 3 vettes in sub-11 sec group. Impressive.

My oldest brother had a dark green 69 Stingray with the LT2 454 in it. He used the car to SCCA race and a little drag racing. I remember burning the shit out of my leg on the side pipe when I was probably 8 or 9 years old.... Damn I loved riding in that thing. My dad even won a trophy racing it on father's day 1975 at that track that use to be right off Sawmill road at Powell Rd.

 

I bet that car is worth a small fortune now.

so the C6 Z06 is faster than the ZR1?

Quicker, at least according to that chart.

[AJ]

and slower too if you at #16.

 

i think that chart is a little wrong on a few cars, its showing a 99' Z28 running faster than a 00' SS. must just be someone looking at time slips and not showing auto or manual or accounting for different drivers.

'63 dodge ramcharger ran 12.0 in the 1/4

 

WTF? *edit* thought this was a truck, nm.

the must have mastered power to weight, apparently it was a hemi car, looks perty light (nova-esque).

Where's the Vector W8? 3-speed auto + 650HP TT Rodeck Block SBC + Mid-Engine = not slow down the 1/4 mile.

 

Or the Vector M12 for that matter? Both are considered production cars, and were AMERICAN production cars.

 

Actually, there seems to be a number of cars missing from that list.

[Mr. Jones]

Ahh good to see a VAG product reigning supreme as always.

 

*ducks*

Don't know. E-mail the guy and help him improve his list.

From the bottom of the page:

 

Given the nature of this list, we get a lot of requests from people asking to add a vehicle or move one up on the list, we kindly ask the public to simply point us in the direction of an article in a major, non-biased, publication that has better test times to back up the claims, before adding, or moving any vehicle up in the list.

The Ariel Atom is not on there.
