I also raced a CL63 AMG 6.3 a couple of weeks ago and I got out in front and he had to reel me in. And by reeling me in he was slowly getting me and passed me at about 100mph. I'm sure he was like, WTF?

When where all these #s taken? I ask if they are recent most of these restored cars aren't 100% and usually run lower compression and milder cams. Not that they would be too much higher because of how bad the exhaust systems where back then. I remember reading a old car craft article where a ZL-1 Camaro picked up something like 125hp when they changed out the exhaust manifolds for headers. Id like to see some of the unmodified stock F.A.S.T. series cars on the dyno. Since they have to use all correct OEM parts they just know how to tune them well.

Some of those numbers are bullshit. You guys also forget that a lot of those cars are going to have a big weight advantage over anything new because they don't have 18 aribags and electric asshole warmers.Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

The 1969 ZR1 Camaro=bottom 11 second car off the show room floor, 10's with sticky tires. Mopar didn't have a problem getting it done in the 60's either.
I'm glad to see you finally realized its been 40 years Ford has been in the weaker side of performance till the 03 Cobras made their debut!!!!
Welcome to the todays standards Coyote guys!!!Doing enough racing for 99% of the board!
