Holy cow! I remember when a 12 second vehicle was something to be reckoned with.
I saw an episode of Pass Time in which a supercharged Shelby 500? ran a mid 9 quarter mile.

Then don't click. Wasn't the title enough warning?

What? 10:4 @ 134 MPH in the far lane?
Yeah, just a few bolt ons. And a big N02 bottle. I'll bet if the guy in the near lane didn't burn his lights all the way down, he might have picked up a tenth. Was that a convert in the near lane? 20 years ago to run in the 10's you just about had to build a pro stock. |

Think his quickest run of the day was a 10.32 @135.56. Yes, definitely more than a few bolt-ons...but I did give it a winky smiley when I wrote that...

I think it was closer to 30 years ago. And the fastest guys (like Ronnie Sox) had clutch cars. Jim

BOTH of those guys are FLYING - technology guys - with the right stuff and sticky tires that is very acheivable in a real street driven pony car these days
