times are way off

yeah, needs to be updated too.

you have to remember that the older cars ran small junk tires back then and smoked the tires down the track. these are not times on slicks.

also so you have to look at the setup. some of the cars have highway gears.


the 69 amx ss hurst ran every low 10's off the showroom floor with slicks :dunno: but they only made the car for one year :(

anything after 1973 is NOT a musclecar. Vipers and late gen camaros/corvettes do not belong there. They are sport cars, not muscle cars. If it can take a turn faster then 35 then its not a musclecar :lol:.

i've posted that list before and it always starts a debate about what a musclecar and what cars are not on the list, ect....


dunecune442, i hope you ment to say 74 not 73. my car is a 74. 74 was the last year they where made. same body/motor/everything from 71-74

50 fastest production cars, that means as is from the factory. You seen some of the sorry ass tires these cars come with from the factory? And you know how good tire technology was back in the 1960's.

I was under the impression that the motors were smogged out after 73 and had much more restrictive exhaust and lower compression. How was AMC able to escape? Nice car btw.

I agree with the tire thing. Steel belt radials were considered high perfomance. My BFG radial T/As squeel if I put alittle too much throttle or if I take a turn more than 30. These radial T/As are better than 90% of the tires available in the 60s and they still suck ass. :nono:

I wondered if anyone else had seen this before. I don't know who put the list together but the mix of yrs and types of cars is definately wrong I agree. How can you compare a 97 viper to a 70 Chevelle? Theres just a small technology gap there. And then look at the market that was being targeted at the time when each was produced and to try to compare them is not posible I don't think.

yea exactly. The only "new" car I would put would be a buick GN, just because they are so damn fast stock.

A viper is a sports car, a ferrari killer. I have never seen a chevelle autocross LOL.

good list though. Its nice seeing what my car ran with shit tires. :thumbup:
