'Back in the day' our muscle cars all felt quite fast, and now i have a stock s2000 that runs with most of those with half the cylinders and probably half the weight lol. And, even in 1970, the fastest times were automatic transmission Mopar cars. Loaded with exciting stuff, some of it true.

True stock muscle cars of the era ran in the 14's.ДЄnd, Motor Trend was to car enthusiasts what the National Enquirer is to movie fans. They weighed 400 pounds or more less than a street legal vehicle becuse the rules did not say you had to have window rollers and tracks or door handles or a heater, headliner, courtesy lights or whatnot. A well prepped dealer backed GTO or Mustang might have gotten into the 13's at the Winternationals, but those cars were cc'd and blue printed and every knob and lever and wire and spring not needed for the trip down the quarter mile was off of them.

They were fully prepped race cars.ДЄnd, my 390 Fairlane with headers and wide rear tires ran against every manner of street modified GTO's Camaros and Mustangs and none of them were running into the 13's.

There was established a pro stock class of vehicles that looked like stock cars but were permitted ednless mods and some of them may have run into the 10's after the class got going.

No stock vehicle, with or without plexiglass windows and a fiberglass trunk lid ran 10's That is pure BS. I spent my life at drag strips and street racing. With some mods (engine bored out to 496-cu-in, aftermarket alloy cylinder heads, high-performance cam) it runs 11.84 secs 114 mph on street tires (with an automatic transmission, btw).

Motor Trend tested a '70 429 Mustang wtih 4.56:1 gears and 7' drag slicks (considered to be 'wide' tires back then) and ran a 12.3 sec 112 mph 1/4 mile.ДЄnd a recent muscle car magazine had an article about a '69 Dodge Super Bee with 440-6 Pack. For example, some basic mods would put a 340 Mopar in the low-13s. Some people don't realize that many people did minor to moderate modifications to their cars back then ('60s), so that '14-second' car became a low-13 second or faster car. Considering how hard the Model S Plaid pulls from 60-150 mph, thereвЂ™s a good chance that the carвЂ™s quarter-mile times could improve even further in the near future.The only Mopars I can recall which had fiberglass body panels and no window hardware were the '68 Hemi-Dart and Barracuda, which ran 10s, not 13s.

Its top speed is currently limited to 163 mph pending a software update, which would unlock the carвЂ™s real top speed of 200 mph. The Model S Plaid is TeslaвЂ™s best vehicle today, but it is not the end-all and be-all for the flagship sedan. And thatвЂ™s not counting any software updates from Tesla that could unlock more performance from the vehicle. Even if the car was gutted, more weight reduction in the form of lighter wheels and other lighter components could allow the Model S Plaid to achieve a quarter-mile time in the 8-second range. It is quite interesting that the Tesla Model S Plaid could achieve these numbers fairly easily. Even the Dodge Challenger Demon, a car built for the quarter-mile, could only achieve a 9.65-second quarter-mile time with a trap speed of 140 mph, after all, and thatвЂ™s under perfect conditions. Even with a stripped interior, however, a 9.08-second quarter-mile time is extremely impressive. The video of the record-setting run did not indicate if the Model S Plaid achieved its record-setting numbers with a stripped interior or if the time was achieved with a bone-stock car.
