Wow, I rest my case. You win man. I know nothing and you know everything. It's good to know that you can take a stock "run of the mill superstock car " and put some slicks on it and run incredible times. I learn something new on this board every day. Just out of curiosity though, since when does a 111 mph trap speed indicate a 10 second car?

 

nevermind can't talk about realities of technology with an 18 yr old

the point i'm making is a car from the 60's with the biggest stock tire was maybe 235/60/15 on a 7.5 inch rim with hard *** compound. i guess alot of tire spin don't knock of mph either eh?

 

You got me man. I'm only 18, what do I know right. Everyone knows the 69 427 vette runs 10's with slicks. I'm just a dumb 18 year old. You are obviously wiser than I am. I'm sorry, I was wrong. Putting slicks on a car will increase it's trap speed by over 15 mph as well. I was obviously wrong and you are right considering I am only 18.

 

hey guys, i just wanna give the info that I have. First, i thought all of you guys were talking about stock cars, and when you change tires a car isnt stock because it didnt have the tires from factory. and my uncles 1970 427 stingray runs mid-high 12's on tires that are almost the same size as stock. Also, my 66 el camino with a 350, and full exhaust was in the 15's , not 14's. there is some wrong information given by both sides, but i think you guys are ganging up on 25thrss. I also dont believe that 14.5 with the accord, thats probably with an amazing driver, most of the other mags get numbers a lot different than that because they arent the greatest drivers in the world, and most people that buy the accord will run nowhere near 14.5. well i just wanted to chime in, because it didnt seem lik a fair fight for 25thrss.

 

I think that is the most intelligent comment anyone has made so far.

 

Screw modding any of my camaros. I'm sellin em both and I'm gonna buy a 69 427 4 speed vette(if I can find one), put some slicks on that baby and call it a day cause I just got myself a 10 second car.

 

This is the link I meant to post before. http://corvettegold.com/musclecars.htm

When you talk to people that really were there back then and are REAL about what the cars ran STOCK, you'll see what a few of us are trying to get across. A few were fast, but most were just quick. Todays standards are different. Back then 15's were not all that slow and 10's were just incredible.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you. That is exactly what I was trying to say. You hit the nail right on the head!
