Here is a 12.70 one

These are just maqazine test, there are articles I have here in my house from old magazines with guys running 11's in stock trim on Bias ply tires.
These cars were way underated.

Mike, I agree with you, those cars we very underrated as are most high HP cars.
Rob, I think you are a stand up guy and I apologize for saying bullshit too soon. But I would be happier to actually see a BONE STOCK on bias ply run low 12's. If you indeed do, great job. But I don't think they all ran low 12's.
And you must be a very good driver, congrats.
I would be willing to bet that more ran in the 13's than did in the 12's, BONE STOCK of course.
We can post different **** up all day long about this, with different results.
My final thoughts...
The Yenko's were very fast and awesome, BUT, they were not true production cars for the masses like we were talking about that started this ****. Only 69 in 69, C'mon. I have read articles that Chevy had to come out with the 427 camaro to keep up with the big block stangs.. yada yada yada.. Like I said, we could go on forever, but I would rather start another fight
NWdragqueen... get off my *****

Nice car and run Rob, nice slip... are you really 100% bone stock after all these years? How could you resist not doing any mods?

And you're getting your numbers mixed up on the Yenko Camaros...they only built 69 of the ZL1 Camaros in 1969 (all aluminum 427), but 198 *iron block/head* 427 Camaros were shipped to Yenko Chevrolet and ~800 went to other dealers across the country.

We get to run a mandrel exhaust, and can do jetting/timing changes and such, but not a whole lot else. We bought the car as an all original 27k mile car, and it went 13.2s @ 105 or so without me ever tuning it or turning a wrench on it (on Polyglass tires)...I pulled the engine apart and cc'd everything, and it barely had 10:1 compression, whereas it's supposed to be 11:1...before the days of CNC machining and tight production tolerances GM used to leave lots of meat in the heads/block. But that allowed for wiggle room during a rebuild, I guess.

Thank you, and again very nice car and nice runs. Thanks for admitting it went 13's stock when you got it, you have a keeper there. As for the 69, I think we were referring to the ZL1's so that is where the 69 came from.
Enjoy your toy...

I am sure my will do 12's as it sits, I just have not driven it there yet
Mike, what did the caddy do at the track or what does it do?

15.63 at 92 mph on a 2.4 60 foot...torque mangement kills it. The have finally figured out how to crack and some guys are running 14.80s in them with nothing but the tune. Whoo a dee do... 
Remeber you are not stock anymore.
If that is the case a cutout and K&N filter are stock and the 01 went 12.80s with 2.0 60 foots at 111.xx mph

Ken. You do not know me. Yes I am a little Hostile when people have no idea WTF they are talking about and toughting it as gold 
Your biggest Mistake so far is in ASSUMING all COPO cars were ZL1 cars Not true. dig a little deeper.
Yes I called your car a POS. You obviosly have not been reading any thing else I have typed and this is a good example. You see UN-LIKE many here I HAVE swung from both sides...actually all three(Ford,Dodge and Chevy) batters box. I started DEEP in the Ford camp and got out when it was clear there was nothing to offer there.
I have complimented ford several times and have also shown the short comings you will not admit but are widely known.
So Lets settle this. I will digg my Piece of **** out and you get your Piece of **** out and we will race for it the old fashion way...on the track
I will even give you the bottle out of my car to make it fair
Should be a fair race un-less you can't drive. You should even be able to beat me.... then again i may just come straight through your door at half track hehehe
So in the end I am calm cool and collected. There is more to history if you look at all of it. Ford has been up many times and down at others. Your short coming is of cubic inches and ours is of a chassis. Good thing we do not have to spend an extra $50k to get what our cars should come with from the factory we just need to get a GTO
BTW Wans't that a V6 stedily kicking the mustangs *** back in the 80s

Hell, even I would race Ellis if he took his bottle out. 
Here may be the best idea Ford could do. The mighty LS7 in a stang. Belongs to Mike at NX. Actually, there are quite a few guys doing this.
