Gotta wonder whether that list accounted for the change in horsepower measurement.

 

Too many variable for a list like that to be accurate.

Get all those cars, ensuring they are bone stock, on the same day, at the same track with the same driver and then we can dare and compare.

 

No way those #'s are right. A hemi cuda in stock form does NOT run 10's, and in a head to head article from the late 60's The cobra SPANKED the 427 vette, and neither broke into the 11's.

 

Yeah and for some reason I remember reading that the McLaren F1 was still faster than the Enzo in the 1/4 mile times but just barely, I think it was in Road and Track, Ill have to check. It just does not seem likely that a car in 1968 with 1968 tire technology (or lack there of!) could run 10.5 with stock street tires! But an Enzo could only do it in 10.8 while having way better tires and probably weighing alot less too!

 

Guys, I was 21 in 1968, and I can assure you that there was no stock car made by anyone that could make those times. Heavily modded, maybe.

Even today, that's almost impossible.

 

Its says that #1 is 1968 Plymouth Barracuda 426 Hemi. I don't know how is that possible because Plymouth didn't offer 426 Hemi in Barracuda in 1968. 426 Hemi in Barracuda was introduced in 1970.
