Whoa! How bout I weigh in on this? Muscle cars of the 60's and 70's NEVER got close to 10 second ET's in near stock trim. Low 12's and high 11's were common but it wasn't until the beginning of Pro Stock in NHRA form in 1970 that we saw consistent 10 second ET's - and those cars were far from stock. I campaigned the fastest E/S and F/S Z-28 '69 Camaro in the USA from 1974 thru 1978. National Record was 11.93 @ 114.21 in 1976 when I won class at the Indy US Nationals. I ran a best of 11.85 @ 115.50 at that event and a best of 11.701 @ 115.97 the next year. Times are much faster now but just like computing, technology marches on.
